    Albert c McManus b Willey 0 (Hants 0-1 v Northants 169)

    Northants celebrate taking wicketShutterstock

    First ball!

    David Willey slides one across Toby Albert and he snicks through to Lewis McManus.

    A repeat of the first semi-final for the Steelbacks and Willey.

    Joe Weatherley is in earlier than he would have hoped but is in prime form.

  2. Northants 169 v Hants

    Nice one Alex.

    Ricardo Vasoncelos a T20 career-best 88.

    Sonny Baker a T20 career-best 5-21.

    James Vince a one-handed catch to end the Northants innings.

    Not been too bad so far has it?

    Northants did defend 146 successfully against Somerset earlier today but Hampshire bat very deep.

    So, where do we think is going?

    Hit the thumbs up for the Steelbacks and the thumbs down for the Hawks.

  3. Northants 169 v Hants

    They'll be back out in a few minutes, 170 the target for Hampshire.

    Glenn Speller will take you through the second innings to see if the Hawks can win a record fourth T20 Blast title.

    It’s probably at least 20 fewer than they’d like.

    But it’s competitive and David Willey and his boys will always be up for it.

  5. Northants 169 v Hants

    It really was a stunning comeback with the ball.

    Ricardo Vasconcelos produced a magical innings of 88 from 59 balls and his side were 138-2 with 4.5 overs remaining, and looking on course for a score close to 200.

    .. but then the Hawks, and in particular Sonny Baker took over.

    Baker ended with 5-21, the best figures in a T20 Blast final and a new career best, having posted the previous mark of 5-24 just 72 hours ago.

    The final eight wickets went down for the addition of just 31 runs.

    Breathtaking stuff.

    WICKET - NORTHANTS ALL OUT

    Sanderson c Vince b Currie 8 (Northants 169 v Hants)

    Not that big.

    James Vince produces a stunning one-handed catch to oust Ben Sanderson and end the innings.

    HAMPSHIRE NEED 170 RUNS TO WIN THEIR FOURTH T20 BLAST TITLE.

  7. 6 runs

    Northants 169-9 v Hants

    Scott Currie's slower ball is launched over deep mid-wicket by Ben Sanderson for a maximum.

    How big could that be.

  8. Northants 161-9 v Hants

    Ben Sanderson clips off his toes for a single to end the over but Sonny Baker is acclaimed from all sides of Edgbaston after that wonderful over. 5-21 from four overs.

    From 138-2 from 15.1 overs to 160-9 going into the final six balls.

    Scott Currie will send down the final over.

  9. Northants 161-9 v Hants

    Emilio Gay

    That could be a match-winning spell.

    What a time to produce that.

    Sonny Baker, this is ridiculous!

    Sales b Baker 0 (Northants 160-9 v Hants)

    Sonny Baker smilesShutterstock

    Make that 5-20.

    Three in the over. First ever five-fer in a Blast final. Superb from England paceman Sonny Baker.

    James Sales can't get the bat on it as it skids through and clatters off.

  12. Northants 160-8 v Hants

    Emilio Gay
    England batsman on 5 Live Sports Extra

    How has this happened to Northants?

    We were looking at 200 not long ago.

    What a collapse.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Kimber b Baker 0 (Northants 160-8 v Hants)

    Make that 4-20.

    Sonny Baker skids one through and Louis Kimber misses it and sees his stumps rearranged.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Harrison lbw b Baker 1 (Northants 158-7 v Hants)

    Sonny Baker slips the pad of Calvin Harrison as he leans out of the way attempting to scoop..

    Harrison wanted to review but left it too late, and as it turns out the impact was outside the line and would have saved him.

    Hawks have mounted a monumental comeback here.

    5-21 in 18 balls.

    Baker has 3-20.

  15. Northants 159-6 v Hants

    Calvin Harrison survives the hat-trick ball, clipping James Fuller away to backward square for a single.

    Fuller finishes with 3-36. Good day for him with the ball.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Zaib c Weatherley b Fuller 0 (Northants 158-6 v Hants)

    Two in two balls.

    New man Saif Zaib pulls James Fuller to the diving Joe Weatherley at deep backward square leg and he holds on brilliantly just above the turf.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Willey c Vince b Fuller 11 (Northants 158-5 v Hants)

    Excellent tumbling catch over his shoulder by James Vince and David Willey is no more, mistiming an attempted cut into the sky.

  18. 6 runs

    for David Willey

    Northants 158-4 v Hants

    It's a one-handed mishit from David Willey but he's so strong the ball flies over long-off for six.

  19. Northants 148-4 v Hants

    James Fuller sends down his final over.

    David Willey squeezes one past the diving fielder at cover for a couple of runs to bring up the Northants 150.

    Fuller needs a spot of treatment and a stretch after a tumble following that opening delivery.

    Looks like cramp. It's been a long day. Glug of sports drink and he'll be okay to continue.

  20. 'Perfect response by Baker'

    Northants 148-4 v Hants

    Dan George
    BBC Sport England at Edgbaston

    Brilliant mentality, that's the perfect reponse for Hampshire by Baker.

    Two runs and a wicket from the over, excellent bowling.
