Lancs 72-2 (Target 153)
Mason Crane thinks he's got Dane Vilas snicking off first ball.
It's given not out, Lancashire review it, but snicko shows nothing as the ball goes past the bat.

England bowler on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 5 Sports ExtraThat's a bizarre dismissal. It was pretty much caught between his legs.

Image source, PA MediaWhat an extraordinary dismissal.
Steven Croft tries to pull Mason Crane away, misses and the ball strikes his pad, up onto the glove and to the keeper.
But Ben McDermott doesn't claim the catch cleanly, fumbling it several times before it rests on top of his pads and eventually into the gloves.
Crazy.

More spin for Hants as Mason Crane comes into the attack.

Hampshire turn to a bit of spin as Liam Dawson comes on and he manages to stem the tide with just six runs coming off the over.
Hants need wickets though.

Lancs 60-1 (Target 153)
Image source, ReutersThe boundaries keep on coming for Lancashire as they reach 60 off the Powerplay.
Keaton Jennings repeats a shot he hit for six earlier by getting down on one knee and scooping Chris Wood past the keeper for four.
Again he falls over as he plays it.
Jennings then mis-times one in the air and the ball just drops over the fielder at mid-off.
Everything going Lancashire's way at the moment.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio SolentThe Hampshire bowlers are all a bit skiddy. Chris Wood smacking himself in the face because he is so annoyed with himself right now. What will it take for Hampshire to get some luck - maybe we need to do a ritual, a song or a sacrifice?

Lancs 52-1 (Target 153)
Steven Croft continues to demonstrate his class as he punches Nathan Ellis over mid-off for his fifth boundary.
The Lancashire number three has an ugly swipe to end the over and misses, but he's up to 28 off 18 balls.
Lancashire need 101 off 15 overs with nine wickets in hand. You'd be disappointed not to get over the line from there.

Jamie: "That is absolutely unreal from Crofty. Love a good cover drive in any circumstance, but to do that to round off four consecutive fours in a T20 Final is something else "

Former Lancashire opener on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio LancashireBrilliant over, some high risk shots to start, then two sumptuous drives and a nudge for two and a nudge for one. Croft using all his experience. Whatever confidence Hampshire had early .... Croft has taken away.

Steven Croft suddenly lights up Edgbaston with some simply wonderful cricket shots and four fours in a row!
The Lancashire batter smacks a short one from Brad Wheal behind point first up, then edges over the slips, but follows it with two glorious drives through the covers. Magnificent.
19 off the over. A game-changer.
Still a big job on for Lancashirepublished at 20:33 British Summer Time 16 July 2022

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sport at EdgbastonIf Hampshire's bowlers do the job here, it would not be the lowest score successfully defended in a T20 final.
Hampshire did it themselves against Yorkshire in Cardiff in 2012, when they had only made 150-6, limiting the Tykes to 140-8.
And a year earlier, Leicestershire successfully defended 145-6 against Somerset, who fell well short on 127-9.
Still all to play, especially after removing Phil Salt so early.

Former Middlesex & Hampshire cricketer on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio SolentChris Wood is getting some good movement on the ball. I think we are seeing a bit more seam movement and a little more bite in this pitch now.

Chris Wood reels Lancashire back in by conceding just five off the over.
Keaton Jennings just manages to scoop the paceman over the fielder at mid-wicket to end the over and grabs a couple.
Still a decent start this by Lightning despite losing Phil Salt.

The Lancashire opener falls over as he plays it but the ball goes all the way. Wow.

An eventful first over from Chris Wood.
No-ball, four, six, wicket, dot, one, dot.
But that wicket is the big one of Phil Salt.
WICKET c Prest b Wood 12published at 0.3 overs
Lancs 12-1 (Target 153)
What an incredible start to this innings.
Chris Wood oversteps first ball which Phil Salt smacks to the boundary.
He follows up the free-hit with a leg-side six but then next ball skies one and Tom Prest takes a fine diving catch.
Three deliveries that had everything!
