17.5 T Taylor to G Garton
4 FOUR! That's it! Warwickshire win by 5 wickets and 13 balls to spare. Full-length delivery around off. Garton drives it through sweeper cover and the ball trickles away for a boundary.
George Garton walks out to bat next. Taylor is on a hat-trick.
17.4 T Taylor to C Benjamin
W BOWLED'EM! Taylor is on a hat-trick! Much full and at the stumps. Benjamin looks to ease it down the ground but fails to get underneath the ball properly as the ball sneaks past the under edge of the bat and rattles the timber.
Chris Benjamin walks out to bat next.
17.3 T Taylor to S Hain
W WICKET! The partnership has been broken but it's too late for the Rapids! Short of a length delivery on the stumps. Hain pulls at it but probably gets the faint edge of the bat on it. The keeper leaps and takes it safely. Hain is not happy with the decision but has to walk back.
17.2 T Taylor to S Hain
6 SIX! The scores are level now! Full-length delivery on the middle and leg stump line. Hain uses his wrists to whip it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
17.1 T Taylor to S Hain
0 Over the wicket. Back of a length delivery angling into the batter. Hain arches back and looks to uppercut but misses.
17 runs off the previous over and Warwickshire need just 7 runs off 18 balls.
