  1. Ahmed & Hartley make historypublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 25 July

    What a stat this is - courtesy of Rothesay County Championship:

    Since 1987, only two players had taken five-wicket hauls in both innings and scored a century all in one match - Richard Hadlee (1987) and Liam Dawson (2023, 2024)

    Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley have both done it today.

  2. 6 runs

    Warks 375-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Kai Smith uppercuts Adam Finch over the third man rope for six.

    Cheers are echoing around a sun kissed Edgbaston.

    The next ball is an inside edge down to the fence for four runs.

    Warwickshire are sprinting to the finish line - 18 runs required.

    Revis lbw b Jacks 15 (Yorks 108-5 lead Surrey by 88)

    There surely isn't still time for Surrey to win this?

    But they're cracking on and have another wicket as Matthew Revis pads up to Will Jacks and is lbw.

  4. Postpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 25 July

    Glos v Lancs 42-1 - target 110

    Keaton Jennings is taking control of this chase.

    He dances down and lofts Graeme van Buuren down the ground for six.

    Lancashire moving more freely now.

    Another 68 to win in 50 minutes.

  5. 50 runs

    50 partnershippublished at 17:09 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 364-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    A 50 stand between Beau Webster (86*) and Kai Smith (30*) - it's come in just 43 balls.

    Nerves? What nerves?

  6. 'Worcestershire are needing a wicket'published at 17:07 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 359-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Mike Taylor
    BBC WM commentator

    Warwickshire are closing in on what would be their third-highest score they will ever have made to win a County Championship fixture, if they can complete the task.

    Worcestershire are urgently needing a wicket.

  7. Postpublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 359-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Khurram Shahzad tests Kai Smith with a bouncer - there are two fielders out in the deep and Smith bisects them perfectly for four runs.

    Tom Taylor then has a ball belted to the fence by Beau Webster - four more - too easy

    If successful this will be Warwickshire's third-highest successful run chase in the County Championship.

  8. Postpublished at 17:04 British Summer Time 25 July

    Glos v Lancs 26-1 - target 110

    Another hour for Lancashire to score another 84.

    Scoring not easy against the turning ball.

  9. 350 up for Warwickshirepublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 351-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    It's looking all very comfortable for the home side now.

    Beau Webster flicks one through mid wicket for three runs to bring up the 350 - 42 more runs required.

    You do wonder what might have been for the visitors had we not been using the Kookaburra ball but there's no point thinking about that.

  10. Postpublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 25 July

    Yorks 101-4 lead Surrey by 81

    Into the final hour at Scarborough but Surrey haven’t given this up yet with the lead at 81.

    Overs are now irrelevant with so much spin having been bowled.

  11. Not Outpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 343-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Worcestershire are convinced they've got Beau Webster caught behind off Tom Taylor.

    The celebrations are long and hearty - Webster stands his ground and the umpire keeps his finger down.

    No DRS or ultra edge here folks...

  12. Postpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 343-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Kai Smith slams a Khurram Shahzad delivery away to the cover boundary and repeats the dose the very next ball,

    Warwickshire need a further 50 runs.

  13. 'Hampshire will be mightily relieved'published at 16:55 British Summer Time 25 July

    Hants 454 v Notts 578-8d & 108-1

    Kevin James
    Former Middlesex & Hampshire cricketer on BBC Radio Solent

    The players are shaking hands and this game has ended in a draw and I think Hampshire will be mightily relieved at that one.

    Nottinghamshire played most of the cricket but with these Kookaburra balls it is not easy to press home your advantage.

  14. Postpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 334-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Warwickshire collect 10 runs from a Tom Taylor over.

    Worcestershire have been on top for about 80% of this game and yet it's beginning to look like they're going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

  15. Hampshire draw with Nottinghamshirepublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 25 July
    Breaking

    Hants 454 v Notts 578-8d & 108-1

    We are done at Utilita Bowl.

    Not a great pitch and not helped by the Kookaburra ball.

    It'll be memorable for Lyndon James who made a double hundred for Notts and for Hampshire's Tilak Varma who hit his second century for the county and Felix Organ's career-best 122 not out.

    WICKETpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 25 July

    Wells 4 (Glos v Lancs 9-1 - target 110)

    Gloucestershire have got spin at both ends as they try to defend just 109.

    Todd Murphy gets Luke Wells in his second over.

  17. 50 runs

    50 for Haseeb Hameedpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 25 July

    Hants 454 v Notts 578-8d & 106-1

    He missed out in the first innings but the Notts skipper displays all his powers of concentration to get to 50.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Freddie McCannpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 25 July

    Hants 454 v Notts 578-8d & 105-1

    A second 50 of the match for Freddie McCann.

    He gets there with a booming drive for four.

    He's had a good game with 2-32 in the Hampshire innings as well.

  19. 'It is tense around the ground'published at 16:45 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 316-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Dave Bradley
    BBC Hereford & Worcester cricket commentator

    It is tense around the ground and the atmosphere is building.

    Another wicket here and it will be edge of the seat time and time to bite your nails.

  20. Postpublished at 16:43 British Summer Time 25 July

    Warks 316-5 v Worcs (target 393)

    Beau Webster misjudges a drive and gets a big inside edge down to long leg for a single - he was aiming through the covers.

    If Worcestershire could get the Australian out...
