Somerset impressive victory, equalled by Glos if they get over the line

I must admit I have had better takes than saying we are both shit. Ha.

Everyone can get a little excited now

Absolutely staggering people wanted us to keep Flint. Boro fans already raging with him on Twitter. Feel for them. Shocking.

Edgbaston on finals day is proper good day tho 

It's brilliant mate, even if your team isn't involved. 2 west country teams there would be a hell of an atmosphere

Glos and Somerset continue to surprise. How great would both at finals day be?

Glos have been excellent. Should polish this off inside 15 overs 

Hard on this with Rashid Khan and Briggsy

Mighty Glos will be brought back down to earth tonight methinks.

Raining now but we`re well ahead on DL.

By about 60 runs haha

Quite a special catch by Overton wasn't it

Agree with all 3 above... really looking forward to our test series against India. Should be good.

I see we have scheduled two of the five ashes tests in 2019 to be in September... An Ashes test in mid-September!!! Good luck getting 5 days of playable weather, ECB

Really interested to know everybody's opinion on this 100 ball lark in terms of entertainment.

Or perhaps this years blast in general?

This years blast is on course to be the highest scoring per over t20 tournament ever, anywhere in the world at almost 9 runs per over.

There have been scores of 250, 231 (which was chased down and tied) and several 200+

Is this entertainment, really?

Not for me... Not unless I'm at the game, when to be fair, seeing sixes everywhere is brilliant. But you watch on TV and there is literally fek all in it for the bowlers, it's just boring IMO. It'll be a shame if this is what we do when we introduce a 100 ball tournament. Ropes further in, better batting tracks... Could end up seeing 170 par scores from 100 balls which is just nuts... Do people actually want this?

Then the last two go for 39...

Interesting bowling by Somerset. Seem to be bowling to contain as oppose to take wickets.

A mighty fine innings by young James Bracey again. A true shame everyone around him just collapses to any kind of pressure, it's the third time this season he's batted long in tight games for Glos and everyone has let him down.

Somerset currently playing at Lord's, a shame it's not on TV.

Corey Anderson

That's a good one. The standard compared to IPL, BBL is pretty poor, so having someone who can both bowl 4 and then bat in the blast is very useful... May do well

Who are Somersets overseas for the t20 blast chaps? Should be a comfortable win on the 6th for Somerset, Glos going to rely on Tye's 4 overs so heavily and he wont be back in time

It's ok @cidercity1987... We'll stick together.

Possibly.  Hum dinger of a game next week against the hoofw*****g creative accounting bungle***ts who’ve got Virat Kholi playing... win that and I’ll start thinking about titles not relegation 

I thought that was cancelled. He's injured, no?

Congrats Zummerset on another win...Somewhat annoyingly

Decent day. Watched a bit of the stream and we batted well with the ball defo offering a bit of help when new. 350-380 probably par for this wicket id say 

cruising past that mate

Par score on that Glos wicket no more than 280 I think, was sticky and horrible, Morgan too good for this level!

Could be a biggie for Glos

Much appreciated @hodge.

Seems Somerset have been saved by the rain, shame. Never mind. How close is the group!! Every point helps
