I won't forget that run chase for a very, very long time.

(But fingers crossed that it won't be for nothing.)

Three hours ago, our NRR was nowhere.

If Sussex lose, and Gloucs tie, later today then our NRR will see us win a four-way tie.

Really weird that Surrey are finished and sitting outside of the top four, but yet could still qualify.

Somerset v Gloucs is the live Sky game btw

Hopefully Conway and Overton can do their some-to-be-home a big favour here.

I would say par score in these conditions in Canterbury about 180-185

What a fantastic afternoon. I cycle to Rosebowl & back. After that thrilling afternoon’s entertainment, 50 boundaries & a few too many beers, looks like I’m a bit late on here Fingers x’d it’s enough to sneak us over the line.

What a cock up....2 fielders going for the same catch and crash into each other with the ball escaping to the boundary...

 

[garysfc]

I'll be gutted if we fall short by 2 runs, that was a 6 not a 4.

Agreed! from where I was standing … with a few beers inside me!

Ha!, I've been watching the stream from the match on the 1st of July!!...what a plonker!...

Somerset appear to be teasing Hampshire by not trying terribly hard against Gloucestershire.

Somerset appear to be teasing Hampshire by not trying terribly hard against Gloucestershire.

And Kent are getting out to one of the worst bowlers going around.

Seriously tho, looked like a 6? Could you see?

Yes, I was watching the live stream, the fielder palmed it over the rope it was a clear 6.

****ing hell, Hants finally found some form and the top 2 in the table are playing like Hants in the first half of the fixtures when we need them to win.

Tbf, they're not the top two today. Most of Kent's team is in isolation, and Somerset are a shadow of their usual selves without Banton and Gregory.

 

[st_brendy]

If we weren't so utterly desperate for them to win, this innings so far from Somerset would be laughable. Awful.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Smeed has to cut loose now.

 

[st_brendy]

At the 112th attempt, Somerset finally manage to run themselves out.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Smeed has to cut loose now.

He's cut loose to the dressing room...

 

[Saints_Alive]

This has to be Somerset and Kent's lowest totals of the season.
