10.20am - Despite playing in front of their home fans, all-rounder Rikki Clarke, formerly of Surrey, believes the Bears are underdogs.
10.15am - The first last-four clash involves the same teams that competed in the inaugural T20 final back in 2003, when Surrey prevailed by nine wickets at Trent Bridge. The Bears, whose director of cricket Dougie Brown was part of that side 11 years ago, will be looking for a reverse in fortunes on home soil today.
10am - Good morning and welcome to NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston, starting with hosts Birmingham Bears taking on Surrey.
