    WICKET: Cox c Rew b Aldridge 49published at 17:42 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 237-5 (40.2 overs)

    That is massive.

    Kasey Aldridge has madethe breakthrough.

    James Rew just about hangs on to the nick behind the stumps and Ben Cox is on his way.

    That partnership of 131 with Peter Handscomb looked like sending Leicestershire to Trent Bridge again - but the way the Somerset players celebrated that all over the pitch said it all.

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 141-6 (37 overs)

    Somehow, whenever Warwickshire have a productive over, Glamorgan come straight back at them with a tight one.

    That's exactly what Dan Douthwaite has just done.

    The changes of pace and line were very hard to get away and the required rate climbs again above eight.

  3. Postpublished at 17:35 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 229-4 (39 overs)

    That was a very good over from Aldridge.

    Just three runs from it.

    His seven overs have gone for just 24 to leave Leicestershire needing 106 from 66 deliveries.

  4. Postpublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 140-6 (36 overs)

    Two boundaries for Michael Burgess from this latest Andy Gorvin over and it's a productive one for Warwickshire.

    The partnership between Burgess and Jake Lintott is up to 78 now and they're not out of this yet...

  5. Postpublished at 17:31 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 226-4 (38 overs)

    Somerset skipper Sean Dickson is scratching his head here with Peter Handscomb and Ben Cox looking comfortable with whatever the hosts are sending down.

    The end of Josh Davey's over brings Kasey Aldridge back into the attack with 120 needed off 102 balls.

  6. Postpublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 129-6 (35 overs)

    Dan Douthwaite is back on for Glamorgan, with two wickets already to his name and very much in the frame for a player of the match award after his explosive 55 not out at the back end of their innings.

    Douthwaite's over goes for six and Bears need just under eight an over from the last 15.

  7. 50 runs

    Half-century for Michael Burgesspublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 120-6 (33 overs)

    Michael Burgess brings up his 50 in style, slog sweeping Colin Ingram for a maximum - and he follows that with two more sixes in succession!

    It's a third 50 of the tournament for Burgess.

    Can he yet pull this game out of the fire for Warwickshire?

  8. 100 runs

    100 up for Bearspublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 101-6 (32 overs)

    Timm van der Gugten has finished his stint of 10 overs now, but he's surely done his bit for Glamorgan with that impressive return of 2-22.

    Warwickshire have at least reached three figures, with Jake Lintott turning Ben Kellaway for a single on the leg side.

    Kellaway, incidentally, is now doing what he's become famed for - a spell of ambidextrous bowling!

    He's trundling away with the left arm now and gets one to turn nicely away from Lintott's outside edge.

    Peter Handscomb has now gone past 500 runs in the One-Day Cup in this year's competition.

    These two are jangling a few nerves at Taunton having posted their 100 partnership in 82 balls in three minutes short of an hour.

    Handscomb is 68 with Cox on 35.

    The Foxes need 128 off 90 balls.

  10. ouch!

    Cox takes one on the helmetpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 198-4 (34 overs)

    Ben Cox is hit on the helmet by an 87mph short one from Riley Meredith.

    The Leicestershire wicketkeeper seems okay but we have a slight break while they check.

  11. Postpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 91-6 (30 overs)

    Timm van der Gugten sends down a maiden for his ninth over - something Warwickshire can ill afford as the asking rate soars towards eight an over.

    Ben Kellaway's next over goes for just a single and you couldn't blame Glamorgan supporters for starting to plan another trip to the Trent Bridge final next month.

  12. 50 runs

    Handscomb reaches half centurypublished at 17:08 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 188-4 (33 overs)

    Peter Handscomb is all moving parts at the crease.

    The Australian is starting to motor smoothly, having gone to a half-century to give the Foxes some hope.

    Ben Cox is on 28 at the other end as Leicestershire hang in there.

  13. Postpublished at 17:05 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 90-6 (28 overs)

    Colin Ingram gets just a single over as Glamorgan decide to bring back Timm van der Gugten and see whether he can cause further damage.

    Warwickshire only glean a single from the paceman, but they pick up a welcome six from the next as Michael Burgess clouts Ben Kellaway over mid-off for a maximum.

  14. Postpublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 170-4 (32 overs)

    Man of the match elect Lewis Goldsworthy is back for a second over of slow left arm spin.

    Given he bats right-handed this could be the complete performance if he takes a wicket.

  15. Postpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 83-6 (26 overs)

    A boundary for Jake Lintott in this Ben Kellaway over, which earns Warwickshire seven runs in all - and that's pretty much the asking rate from here on.

    Lintott has 10, with Michael Burgess on 27.

  16. Postpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 156-4 (29.2 overs)

    Four fours in two overs from Handscomb and Cox as they try to regain, if not the initiative, then at least a little bit of momentum.

    Their partnership for the fifth wicket is up to 50 now.

  17. Postpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 76-6 (25 overs)

    Although Glamorgan's seamers have more than done the job so far, they've opted for a two-pronged spin attack for now in the shape of Ben Kellaway and Colin Ingram.

    The pair have bowled an over each, going for just three runs apiece and that has the desired effect of pushing that required rate up even further as we reach the halfway stage of the innings.

  18. Postpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 247-9 v Warwickshire 70-6 (23 overs)

    Michael Burgess surely represents Warwickshire's last hope in this game.

    He's had a few close calls but is still out there with 21 from 35 balls - the Bears' top score in this underwhelming innings.

    Glamorgan's bowlers have applied pressure from the start and are yet to ease up.

    The required rate is now above six and a half per over.

  19. Postpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 133-4 (27 overs)

    Somerset are turning the screw here.

    Kasey Aldridge saves a certain four with a run and athletic dive on the deep mid-off rope.

    Jack Leach then goes close to running out Ben Cox with a direct hit at the non-striker's end as Leicestershire start to take a few chances.

  20. Postpublished at 16:40 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 334-4, Leicestershire 128-4 (26 overs)

    That is a very tidy over from Kasey Aldridge.

    Back of a length at the top of off stump x 6.

    Just two runs from the 26th over.

    Leicestershire need to be putting the foot down.
