James Vince powers Hampshire to T20 Blast Finals Day - dillinger10 - 08-14-2015
James Vince scored an unbeaten 107 off 65 balls to power Hampshire to their sixth straight T20 Blast Finals Day. He has been in incredible T20 form all season long, averaging 58.27. Fidel Edwards bowled three overs at real pace before bad light eventually took the players off and put Hampshire through on Duckworth/Lewis method.
Six straight T20 Blast Finals is an impressive feat. It's been a real struggle in four-day cricket for Hampshire this year and so their form in the one-day game has been a welcome relief.
Birmingham and Northants have already advanced, with Kent and Lancashire vying for the final place in tomorrow's game.

It looks as though Lancashire will be joining Hampshire, Birmingham and Northants in the Finals Day as they require just 42 more runs from 30 balls with 7 wickets remaining. Ashwell Prince has made this run chase look rather pedestrian.

What a finish. Scores are tied but Lancashire advance as they lost fewer wickets. Lancs almost threw that one away. Faulkner slammed the last ball off the stumps at the non-strikers end and was just able to come back for a second run.
