Welwyn XI found themselves in trouble early on. An unlikely hero in the form of Graeme Swann raised his bat and scored a crucial 130 not out.

Chris Read with his 82 provided the supporting hand. But the tail wrapped up quickly, and Dom Bess with his 4-fer outdid them.

Aislabie XI already had a lead and they took no time extending that. Sam Robson set the tone with a classy hundred. Kevin Pietersen carried on the momentum and scored a brilliant 130.

From the opposition, none could set their mark apart from Josh Tongue, who had the figures of 4-108 in 21 overs.

Welwyn XI will need 509 runs to book a spot for the semis.

That was always going to be a near-impossible chase. Wickets fell again this time. Chris Read and Graeme Swann tried to prolong their partnership again but couldn't do so beyond some 100 odd runs.

Ryan Sidebottom will have his name on the headlines tomorrow morning as he ended up with 6-94 in his 28 overs.

Aislabie XI have qualified for the Semi-Finals!

The reply was equally as good by Paranoid Kendroid XI. Few batters chipped in but Jason Roy was the star of the innings scoring a massive 180 in just 178 balls.

From the opposition Jofra Archer was impressive with his figures of 5-90 in 24 overs.

After a decent opening start wickets felt in the middle. There was a lot of uncertainty in the dugout. Specially after James Taylor departed when he was on 74. Paranoid Kendroid had their 8th wicket down on 288.

The one capable batter still at the crease, Chris Woakes charged and won this curcial close contest for his side. He ended up on 90 not out. But that was a special innings.

Paranoid Kendroid XI have qualified for the Semi Finals!

Supreme General XI were in trouble at the stage when they were 93-5. Geraint Jones showed some promise scoring 74.

But it was all over soon because the spin operator Monty Penasar showed no mercy and ended with the figures of 5-63 in his 21 overs.

And It also looks like Perfect Square XI are going to enforce a follow on!

Well well well. I'm as shocked as you are. That was a surprise turn around from Supreme General XI after getting dismissed for under 250 in the 1st innings. Where to begin?

Dawid Malan scored a classy 100. Plenty of other batters chipped in as well. But Scott Brothwick played an innings of a lifetime scoring a massive 185.

Supreme General XI scored 565 runs and took a massive lead.

Monty Panesar with the ball took a 5-fer again. He has 10 wicket-haul in the match now. But is that going in the vain now?

Perfect Square will need 361 runs to win this match.

That was a comeback of a lifetime. Joe Denly looked promising early on. But after his dismissal at 89 runs. All became a bit too blurry for Perfect Sqaure XI.

But the picture of semi final spot looked clear for Supreme General XI. Steven Finn was the star with the ball ending with the figures of 5-57 in 17.5 overs.

Supreme General XI have qualified for the Semi Finals!

Reminds me of the first Test in 2020, when Buttler and Woakes put up a late partnership to chase the target against Pakistan :cry:
Our bowlers should have done much better in the last innings

That was a nightmare of an innings for Aravind XI. They were 44-4 and couldn't recover from there on.

The ghost in this nightmare was Jack Leech who bowled magnificently and ended up with the figures of 5-47 in just 15 overs.

After bundling Aravind XI out for cheap, Paranoid Kendoid XI took full advantage of this opportunity and went to gain a massive 1st innings lead.

Nick Compton again was the difference maker with his 100. Lower order also chipped in with some crucial runs.

From the bowling side Adil Rashid picked up a 5-fer. But was it just a consolation?

A much better batting this time around by Aravind XI. Gary Ballance again provided the support platform with his 77.

Boyd Rankin of Paranoid Kendroid XI was the pick of the bowlers with his 4-fer.

But the day belonged to Tim Ambrose, who came in at a difficult time and gave some lead to his team with his 121.

Paranoid Kendroid XI will need 137 runs to book a spot for the Final. I think they already have their one foot there.

That was quick. But it was kind of expected after the 1st innings collapse by Aravind XI.

Nick Compton scored a classy 50 and set the foundation as he has often done.

The captain Andrew Strauss calmly batted through the innings, scored 74 not out and made sure to see his time home.

Paranoid Kendroid XI have qualified for the Final!
