Surrey won by four runs
Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara played one of the finest knocks of his long career at The Oval as Surrey beat Nottinghamshire by four runs to reach their first Lord's final in four years.
The 37-year-old former Test star hit 166 out of Surrey's total of 300-5.
Notts slumped to 16-3 when teenager Sam Curran took two wickets in two balls.
Greg Smith made 124, sharing big stands with Samit Patel (51) and Dan Christian (54) but, in a thrilling finale, Notts fell just short on 296-7.
Surrey will now play Gloucestershire in the final on Saturday 19 September.
