Yorkshire through to Finals day with a 1 run win over Surrey. A classic game that constantly ebbed one way, then the other, which went to the last ball.

Home advantage didn't count for much, as the away team won again, in the 2nd quarter-final. The Bears have score 200+ in half of their 14 group matches, but in reply to Hampshire's 186-6, the got shot out for 82, & a 1-4 run loss.

Lancashire have the chance to break the trend tonight (18.30) when they host Essex. They will have to do without, Buttler. Livingstone, Parkinson, & Gleeson, all on England duty tomorrow, but Salt has been released to play.

^^ A comfortable 7 wicket win for Lancashire last night, as they got home with 26 balls remaining, their reward is a Semi-Final against Yorkshire, which will be the 2nd match at next weeks Finals Day, a 2.30pm start.

Derbyshire coach Micky Arthur, has called the inability to have a window in the schedule for the knockout stages of the Blast, as showing disrespect to the county game, & unacceptable. His side take on Somerset at Taunton (7pm), & if successful, could be a side that benefits from other teams with players unavailable due to International duty.

Somerset scored a competition best 265, & beat Derbyshire by a record margin 191 runs.

Turns out my info was wrong, Yorkshire v Lancashire will be the 1st Semi (11am) Hampshire v Somerset are the 2nd Semi (2.30pm) the Final starts at 6.45pm.
Generally the match order is to accommodate players & supporters travel. The 2 Northern teams have around a 2 hour journey from their County grounds, with the Southern sides about 2 & half. However, the wonderful schedule has allowed just 1 day between the current Championship matches & Finals day. Yorkshire are up in Scarborough, which means a 3 & a half hour trip. Somerset may be worst off, as they are at Lancashire, with a 4 hour journey back to Taunton, unless the travel direct to Birmingham.
