Another new bowler into the attack for Durham as Katie Levick comes on for some leg-spin.

Just the four singles from it and the boundaries have dried up slightly in the past couple of overs for Hampshire.

Hampshire Hawks 50-2 v Durham

End of the powerplay and Hampshire move to 50-2.

A good over from Heather Graham with just three runs and a wicket from it.

This is a really good wicket. If I'm honest, the first semi final didn't do this wicket justice. There is pace and bounce here.

I didn't think the first semi-final was very good.

Hampshire are ticking along nicely in the powerplay. Georgia Adams punches straight down the ground from Lauren Filer for two before cutting for one through backward point.

Same shot from Ella McCaughan, same result for another single.

And then Adams hits her second four of the innings, driving down to long-off for four.

Mady Villiers is into the bowling attack for Durham and drops one in too short and it gets the treatment from Ella McCaughan, who smashes through mid-wicket for four.

McCaughan hits three boundaries in three balls, smashing over wide mid-wicket and then swatting away to the rope through backward point.

Expensive over with 14 from it.

She's in absolutely sweet form, Georgia Adams.

She is the top wicket taker in the Blast with 23 wickets (Charli Knott actually overtook her in the first semi, now with 25 - ed) and is averaging 31 with the bat, so she is brimming with confidence is the Hampshire skipper.

Hampshire captain Georgia Adams is in and gets off the mark with a lovely shot, pushing through point from Trudy Johnson for four.

Lively over from Johnson with eight runs, including two wides, and a wicket from it.

Hampshire are pushing those runs along, as you have to in T20 - get on the front foot and look to dominate during the powerplay.

At the moment Hampshire are moving in the right direction, on a pitch that is drying out and an outfield that has lost its dew. It will be even quicker than when we started this morning.

We've had a lot of messages about this... perhaps understandably. There's an England men's ODI against India on Sunday at Lord's. The calendar is very busy at this time of year. It is a shame.

Lauren Filer opens the bowling from the other end for Durham.

Some good running from the two Hawks batters as Ella McCaughan guides one down to third and they scamper back for a quick two.

Maia Bouchier gets off the mark in fine style, pouncing on the short and wide one from Filer to crash to the extra cover boundary for four.

Trudy Johnson thuds the pad of Maia Bouchier and Hampshire pick up a leg bye to get the first run on the board.

Ella McCaughan then strokes a nice drive through point for two before Johnson's line strays down for a wide.

And a first boundary of the innings as McCaughan flashes nicely through cover for four and that's eight from the first over. Steady start for the Hawks.

We are under way in the second semi-final at the Oval.

A place in the final against The Blaze awaits the winner of this one.

Hampshire will be hoping to fare considerably better with the bat in their first innings than Surrey did earlier.

Trudy Johnson with the first over for Durham. Maia Bouchier and Ella McCaughan are opening for the Hawks.

Do keep the messages coming throughout the day, folks.

Who are you picking to face The Blaze this evening?

Click the yellow button to have your say.

Durham have won the toss for the second semi-final and will have a bowl.

That tactic didn't work out too badly for The Blaze a short while ago.

Here's a look at the two line-ups:

Hampshire Hawks: Maia Bouchier, Ella McCaughan, Georgia Adams (c), Nancy Harman, Rhianna Southby (wk), Abi Norgrove, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Naomi Dattani, Poppy Tulloch, Daisy Gibb, Bex Tyson

Durham: Hollie Armitage (c), Mady Villiers, Emily Windsor, Bess Heath, Heather Graham, Mia Rogers (wk), Grace Thompson, Sophia Turner, Trudy Johnson, Lauren Filer, Katie Levick

Hampshire Hawks

Hampshire captain Georgia Adams has called for the team to "wipe the slate clean" for T20 Blast Finals Day.

The Hawks topped the group table, winning eight of their 12 matches, losing twice and being involved in two tied games.

They face fourth-placed Durham for a place in the final against The Blaze.

Adams told BBC Radio Solent: "I'm a big believer that you always need to wipe the slate clean going into finals.

"I think the most casual I ever went into a Finals Day was in 2024 (for the Southern Vipers) when we were quite lucky enough to put out an incredibly strong team.

"We had five members of the England T20 side that day, but had a pretty tough day at the office and I learnt the hard way in the semi-finals (losing to South East Stars).

"That day taught me a lot. As important as it is to take confidence and momentum from the group stages, it's also important to start again, and do the simple things really well, and players holding their nerve under a bit more added pressure."

Durham took up the final remaining place at Finals Day by winning seven matches to clinch fourth spot in the group stage.

Captain Holly Armitage has led by example with the bat, averaging 50 and scoring 64 in a comprehensive win over Hampshire when the sides met at Chester-le-Street back in May.

They have shared the wicket-taking responsibilities, too, with Heather Graham, Maddy Villiers and Katie Levick all contributing with the ball. It's an attack which has been bolstered by the return of England World Cup quick Lauren Filer, too.

If they can reach the final later today, Durham will be buoyed by the fact that they toppled The Blaze home and away in the group stage.
