    50 off 23 balls for Dickinson. Take a bow, that is an incredible knock.

    Yes, he's certainly going to have to work to get back in in white ball cricket.

    I'm not tempting fate. Not after last time.

    I love that we're this far ahead that we can afford to give Afridi a bit of time at the crease.

    Well done Hampshire, a much better run chase from last time.

    One foot in the QFs. Now to sit back for a week and watch everyone else play. We may or may not be required to beat Somerset.

    Still really fancy us despite being without Rilee, Carbs and McManus, it's amazing how many times a kid has stepped up for us.

    Just given this a little bit more thought.

    A win against Somerset guarantees qualification - and almost certainly a home QF. At a minimum, Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Essex, Sussex and Somerset would all not be able to match a 17 point haul. That would leave Glamorgan and Gloucs.

    A tie or a no-result would almost certainly secure qualification. Middlesex and Kent wouldn't be able to match a 16 point haul, whilst Surrey, Essex, and Sussex could only equal it. And that is before considering all the matches between the other eight sides - points will clearly be dropped all over the place.

    A defeat would likely mean that Somerset themselves finish above us. Whilst also presenting fairly open goals for Glamorgan and Gloucs to overtake us. So it would most likely come down to whether any of Sussex, Surrey or Essex have a storming final week. But again, sides will be dropping points all over the place - so I'd still give us a solid chance of progressing with our current points tally.

    Our RR is a big factor too, it would surely take a bad loss against Somerset and some incredible sequence of results for us to not qualify.

    Ordinarily it would be. But the group is weird this season in that, barring further no-results or ties, only Kent could finish level on points with us. Us two are on an odd number of points, with everyone else on an even number.

    Nearly there Hampshire. Would love the T20 final to be between Hampshire and the Nottinghamshire Outlaws if both reach the finals day and avoid each other in the semis.

    PS: If Notts Outlaws win the T20, they will be on course for a unique treble.

    Do you think Rilee has really (RileeReally?) given us much? I've been rather underwhelmed.
