5.02pm: Surrey openers Laurie Evans and Will Jacks strutting out to the middle. 143 off 19 overs is the ask. Craig Overton has the ball for Somerset...

4.51pm A whole lot of nothing from Somerset, Dickson's 30 not out from 22 is the best of a middling bunch. Sean Abbott's 4 for 23 was the star of an all-seam attack... and Jamie Overton didn't bowl a ball!

Vish will be here shortly for the resumption.

Thamizhachi : "If there ever would be a perfect execution of a bowling 1st plan, this Surrey bowling display would be it. Electric fielding, extra ordinary catching just lift the bowlers! "

Kannadachi : "Can confidently say that Sean Abbott has enabled Surrey to put one foot in the finals. Ably supported by gun ground fielding and very sure catching!!!"
