While the presentations take place at Edgbaston, that's where we'll leave tonight's live text commentary.

What a dramatic conclusion to the final, but ultimately it was Hampshire who came out on top.

The domestic season continues on Tuesday with the next round of County Championship action.

Hope you can join us then.

Enjoy the rest of your evenings!

Hampshire captain James Vince tells Sky Sports:

"We seem to have found a way to get over the line in these games.

"Our bowling attack has been top draw and we've been able to defend small totals in this competition and get wickets at crucial times.

"Our never say die attitude has come through again, we never feel like we're beaten, and stay with it until the end."

Hampshire bowler Nathan Ellis tells Sky Sports:

"The last over, I was fully aware I bowled slow balls in the semi-finals, I thought they may have seen that, so I just wanted to bowl something pacier.

"It was a good wicket then the sun went down and some dew came in, we had good pace and carry, I knew they were going to come hard but I thought if we can get early wickets we can win the game."

Georgie Heath: Spare a moment for those journalists trying to file copy on that

A well deserved victory for Hampshire. I saw them win it in 2012 and I was ten years old! Now I've seen them win it again in 2022. I've had to sit down because my legs are shaking!!

Mike: "Cricket; the game that keeps on giving! "

Chris: " What a game. What a day. This is why cricket is the best sport in the world."

So Hampshire are now three-time winners of the domestic T20 competition - only Leicestershire have also won on three occasions.

It's their first trophy since beating Kent in the 2018 One-Day Cup final.

And maybe it won't be their last this season as they are second in the County Championship - currently 15 points behind Surrey.

I've never seen anything like that.

Hampshire were celebrating. The fireworks were going off. Then the umpire outstreched his arm to signal a no-ball.

Nathan Ellis held his nerve superbly to win it for the Hawks though.

UNREAL from Hampshire! I've seen them do it time and time again. Spinners do a great job and great captaincy. One of the best finals I've seen in a long time. Lancashire will be very VERY disappointed.

Joe: "Hampshire Hawks lost their first four group games in the Vitality T20 Blast, and still won it all. The tournament has been a rousing success this year. (The ending in the mist of a firework display too). "

Barry: "What an unbelievable end to cricket never fails to excite. Gutted for Played their part in a brilliant match and have been great all season. "

That's the narrowest margin of victory in a final.

I need to catch my breath.

I don't know how Hampshire have won that game. It was Lancashire's game for the taking. The emotions!! It's been mayhem

Nathan Ellis bowls a slower ball, Richard Gleeson misses and Hampshire have won the most dramatic of T20 Blast finals!

By one run.

Georgia: So do they have backup fireworks somewhere?

There's a delay here as the fireworks went off and filled the stadium with smoke.

INCREDIBLE drama.

OH MY GOODNESS WHAT IS HAPPENING!!?? Hampshire thought they'd won. The fireworks had gone off in celebration BUT it's been called a no ball! It means Gleeson has to come back.

Nathan Ellis bowls Richard Gleeson off the final ball.

Hampshire think they've won it. But it's A NO-BALL!

Lancashire now need three off a free-hit to win it.

Richard Gleeson scrambles two.

Lancashire need five off the last ball! But four will win it for them.
