Looks a superb win for Notts. Really dug deep for that.

Heck of a score by Middlesex.

Think it's safe to say that one of the two QFs will be Middlesex v Lancs.

Kent started well, but it looks a bit too much to do.

Looks like Gloucs have shuffled their order around, presumably in an attempt to improve their NRR. But in doing so they've probably now lost the match. A lot of work needed from here.

Gloucs have won, Somerset have won with more balls unused than Gloucs, Sussex look as though they are about to lose, so I'm guessing Somerset will prevail on NRR

Somerset are through. I don't think Sussex can improve the NRR sufficiently enough from here to catch Gloucs (indeed, they might not even win). So it's between Gloucs and Middlesex.

Why are Glamorgan trying (and failing) to nail 6s, when singles will do?

Well until they nail that one! Done.

Those two Kent wickets should get Middlesex over the line now. Looks like Middlesex v Lancs, and Worcs v Somerset.

Three losses on the trot for Sussex.

that's because they weren't playing Durham in the KO's

if Durham had picked up the 3rd spot, then Sussex would have won 3 on the trot to beat them play them in the QF

Good score for Durhamfootman's favourites, Somerset. And Wessels out early too.

That's quite something from Worcs. Despite already be in trouble, they've still somehow contrived to collapse to Azhar Ali!

Middlesex having a shocker as well although against a quality attack with a dodgy looking batting lineup- James Harris surely is not a great number 6 batsman- although he has scored half of their runs so far! 46/5.

I don't know how Middlesex have managed it. They look a bowler light and yet, as you say, Harris is batting far too high.

How can a side be both a batter short and a bowler short?!
