    BBC Radio Somerset

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore's not been at his best and well, Craig Overton, your hour has come. You've got to do it again if Somerset are to win this game.

  2. Postpublished at 17 overs

    Northants 143 v Somerset 106-6 (38 runs required)

    A superb spell from Calvin Harrison of four overs, 1-20. Somerset are way behind Northants and need one big over.

    Craig Overton. Can you do it again?

  3. 'More Overton heroics needed'published at 13:47 BST 18 July

    Northants 143 v Somerset 104-6

    Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's the hero of Wednesday, Craig Overton, walking out to bat.

    And he's going to have to repeat something approximately close to those heroics for Somerset now the target is 40 off 20 balls.

    A slice to backward point/deep gully where Luke Procter takes the catch.

  5. Postpublished at 16 overs

    Northants 143 v Somerset 100-5 (require 44 from 24 balls)

    A very good over from David Willey who goes, slow, wide, full and gets a wicket as well.

    Just four from it and while Northants look in the driving seat, he has to work out where his overs are coming from.

  6. Umpire reviewpublished at 15.5 overs

    Somerset 99-5 (require 45 from 25 balls)

    David Willey thinks he has heard something as Tom Kohler-Cadmore's bat is close to the ball.

    But it was ground, not wood, and the batter survives.

  7. 'This could go all the way'published at 13:39 BST 18 July

    Northants 143 v Somerset 96-4 (require 48 from 30 balls)

    This is a lot tighter finish than I thought it was going to be.

    It could go all the way.

  8. 'A thriller'published at 13:39 BST 18 July

    Northants 143 v Somerset 98-5

    Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This is bubbling up into a thriller.

    A miscue and David Willey has dismissed his fellow skipper Lewis Gregory, who is caught by James Sales at long-off.

    Expect a lot of sweeps now. Somerset can't have too many dots now.

    This is the big finale, this is where you earn your money.

  11. Postpublished at 15 overs

    Northants 143 v Somerset 96-4 (require 48 from 30 balls)

    Calvin Harrison is back on and bowls another tight one costing just five runs.

    Northants were 115-5 at the same stage but this remains a hard one to call.

    Dvid Willey is back on for his final over. Big over this one.

  12. Postpublished at 15 overs

    Northants 143 v Somerset 91-4 (53 needed from 36 balls)

    Lewis Gregory ramps a boundary off James Sales to fine leg but again, it is the only one of the over, which goes for seven.

  13. 'Much more like Kohler-Cadmore'published at 13:32 BST 18 July

    Northants 143 v Somerset 84-4

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    That's much more like the Tom Kohler-Cadmore we know and love.

    Going down the pitch to the slow left-armer and obviously decided that the time had come for Saif Zaib to go and go he did.

  14. Postpublished at 13 overs

    Northants 143 v Somerset 84-4 (60 needed from 42 balls)

    A good comeback from Saif Zaib who gets clouted for a big six by Tom Kohler-Cadmore but keeps the over to nine runs.

    Does David Willey bring Luke Procter back for another over? If not, where is he getting his overs from?

  15. Who's winning this one?published at 13:29 BST 18 July

    Northants 143 v Somerset 75-4

    Which way is this one going?

    Thumbs up for Northants, down for Somerset.

  16. Postpublished at 12 overs

    Northants 143 v Somerset 75-4 (69 runs reuquired from 48 balls)

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore drives beautifully and hits the stumps at the non strikers' end as Northants' luck continues.

    What a catch from Lewis McManus earlier in the over and just two runs from it.

    Calvin Harrison is making way for Saif Zaib.

    Carlos Brathwaite

    This is a proper catch!

    You have to win these big moments. You needed the wicket of Will Smeed.

    Out of the two, that is the wicket they wanted and they've got it with a big moment with James Salesm, their leading wicket-taker.

    Has the script been written?

  18. 'A superb take and that is a big, big wicket'published at 13:27 BST 18 July

    Northants 143 v Somerset 74-4

    Andrew Radd
    BBC Radio Northampton

    A brilliant catch by Lewis McManus behind the stumps diving to his right.

    A superb take and that is a big, big wicket, and the balance definitely shifts towards the Steelbacks.

    Are you watching Jordan Pickford?

    That was heading for the top right corner and Lewis McManus has pulled off a worldie behind the stumps.

    Big edge off James Sales and a split second to react but McManus sticks out a right hand and Will Smeed is on his way one short of his half-century.
