Option 1: Brad Wheal v Nottinghamshire

Brad Wheal was the man of the moment in Hampshire's nail-biting quarter final at Trent Bridge against Nottinghamshire.

The score was 109-8 with Notts needing 17 runs off 13 balls, and Wheal delivered a searing leg stump yorker to dismiss Luke Fletcher to put the Hawks one wicket away from victory, and in the final over of the game, with the Outlaws needing just three runs to win, Hampshire's Scot dealt the blow that would seal the Hawks' place at Finals Day.

Option 2: Chris Wood v Kent

Whilst the eventual Blast champions would go on to win the game, Chris Wood made sure to leave his mark on the match when he shattered Ollie Robinson's stumps.

The Kent keeper took a step too far to the off-side allowing Wood a clear view of the stumps, which he was only too obliged to hit, knocking back both middle and off stump in spectacular fashion.

Option 3: Kyle Abbott v Middlesex

In Abbott's only Vitality Blast match last year, he gave the Hampshire coaches the nod that what he can do with the red ball, he can also do with the white.

Hampshire set a formidable 215-6 in their 20 overs, thanks to 40s from D'Arcy Short, Joe Weatherley, and Lewis McManus, as none of the Middlesex bowlers went at under seven runs per over.

Opening the bowling, Kyle Abbott took his first wicket in his first over, with a ball that pitched outside off, before nipping back in to clip the off peg sending it cartwheeling behind Stevie Eskinazi.

Option 4: Mason Crane v Somerset

It was two batters, Tom Banton and Will Smeed which proved to be the downfall of the Hawks on their trip to Taunton, but the turning pitch gave Mason Crane an opportunity to showcase his skills.

With the score on 63-3, the match was well poised after the powerplay, but, with a flick of the wrist, Crane quickly made it four down for the home side, dismissing the dangerous Tom Lammonby with a pearler.

The ball pitched a foot outside off before ragging back to crash into Lammonby's middle and off stumps to leave Somerset in a precarious position of 63-4.

Option 5: Liam Dawson v Somerset

Somerset found themselves 79-5 in reply to the Hawks' 150, but Tom Abell and Lewis Gregory were five runs short of a 50 partnership.

Enter Liam Dawson.

The left-armer cramped Gregory for room as the ball pitched on leg stump before turning and crashing into the poles, and the Somerset captain had to walk back to the hutch for just 18.
