Vitality Blast, The Kia Oval

Durham 162-8 (20 overs): Jones 37*; Worrall 2-14, Topley 2-20

Surrey 164-5 (18 overs): Sibley 67, S Curran 52; Carse 2-34

Surrey beat Durham by five wickets

Surrey overcame a fine Durham fightback to become the first team to make it to T20 Blast Finals Day.

Chasing 163 to win, a 95-run partnership between Dom Sibley (67) and Sam Curran (52) for the fourth wicket tipped the game in Surrey's favour from 53-3 and they wrapped up the win with two overs to spare.

After being put in to bat, Durham had a horror start, falling to 36-4 in the eighth over, before recovering superbly to post 162-8 at The Oval.

Michael Jones (37 not out) and lower-order cameos from Ashton Turner, Bas de Leede and Ben Raine gave the visitors a competitive total but it turned out not to be enough to prevent Surrey booking their spot at Edgbaston on 14 September.
