    This is good. 169/7 now. Not an easy pitch to bat on though.

    We appear to be trying to chase 300 rather than 200, but hey I'm not going to complain at a boost to our NRR, should it come off.

    Just no sense in that at all, we were cruising it.

    We're Hampshire. We don't win easy, we don't lose easy. There's always a twist.

    And now another wicket.

    They've also still got to find 6 overs, whether from Franklin, Cartwright or Stirling. That's a third of their remaining overs.

    Purely in terms of the target, things have calmed down. A 27 run partnership and counting.

    In reality though, it's very much the opposite because it sounds like we're trying to have a go at everything.

    Really good from Lewis. Taking the pressure away.

    Because of the state of the game, I'm having to put up with him. But on his last commentary spell, I turned it off.

    The ball has just sailed into....the wicket-keepers glove. Not the stands, no, just the keepers gloves.

    Well played Jimmy and Lewis. What could have turned into a difficult chase turned into a comfortable one.

    Well done guys. That is qualification 90% in the bag. We can rubber stamp it on Sunday, with what in theory looks like the easiest game of the group vs Glamorgan. And if we do win that, we don't just secure qualification, but we also (almost certainly) jump straight through to the SF. At home.
