8 overs: Hampshire 78-2 (Adams 31, McKenzie 13)
Somerset have real problems here. Trego goes for 11 with the batsmen barely breaking sweat. The ball is horribly wet and hard to control, and fielding mistakes are creeping in. Hamphire now need around eight an over; they are currently going at more than nine.
7 overs: Hampshire 67-2 (Adams 30, McKenzie 1)
A crucial passage in the game begins, as spin is introduced in the form of Murali Kartik's left-armers. He gets sharp turn on the tacky pitch. Just five come from the over, a comeback Somerset must keep up.
WICKET! Vince run out 0
Kartik's second ball is well cut by Vince, who thinks it is past Hildreth at point and sets off. He is badly wrong. Hildreth throws from a kneeling position. Trying to scramble back Vince is so far out the umpire does not even call for the TV replay.
6 overs: Hampshire 62-1 (Adams 28, Vince 0)
Somerset badly needed that wicket. Well done Kieswetter! What started as a couple of bad overs was turning into a fairly serioius wobble from the favourites. At the end of the Powerplay Hampshire are 15 ahead of where Somerset were. Hampshire's second-best Powerplay this year, the Sky chaps tell me.
WICKET! Razzaq c Kieswetter b Trego 33
After 33 in 19 balls, Razzaq hits one almost straight up in the air and Kieswetter - running towards point - takes a good towering catch given the slippiness of the ball.
5 overs: Hampshire 52-0 (Adams 26, Abdul Razzaq 25)
Another grim over from Phillips, not helped by what looks like a very greasy ball on a cold evening. Seventeen from it, and 33 from the last two. After five overs in their innings, Somerset were 42 for one.
4 overs: Hampshire 35-0 (Adams 24, Abdul Razzaq 10)
Zander de Bruyn's medium-pace dobbers are forced into action as a reult of Pollard's injury. De Bruyn didn't bowl in the semi-final and it becomes clear why as his first over goes for 16. It does seem strange to bowl a part-timer when the firlding restrictions are still in place
His second ball is very short and is slapped over point by Razzaq. But he gets his off cutter going and beats Adams. But then he puts the part-timer back in his place, with six and four from the last two balls.
3 overs: Hampshire 19-0 (Adams 13, Abdul Razzaq 5)
Razzaq - one of the great one-day hitters - is struggling here. Certainly, the conditions are a long way from Pakistan - fleeces, anoraks, even a few woolly hats in the crowd. Ah, the joys of an English summer. he doess, however, manage to thread the last ball through the off side for four.
2 overs: Hampshire 12-0 (Adams 11, Abdul Razzaq 1)
Ben Phillips at 70-something mph is not fast enough to bowl short, as Adams meatily demonstrates, pulling his first ball and cutting his fourth, both for four।
