Andrew Gale has gone and you'd suspect Yorkshire have gone with him. He played Paul Collingwood down towards the boundary, but went too far back into his crease and trod on his stumps.

With Gale gone for 41, Jack Leaning - who scored a century in the County Championship this week - has been joined by Richard Pyrah. Durham have been excellent in the field and they've been well-supported by a crowd of 5,000.

"That was a big wicket. If Tait can get another wicket it would really throw the game in Essex's favour."

It's not the wicket Essex wanted, but they'll certainly take it as Jim Allenby skies a Shaun Tait delivery and Greg Smith takes the catch.

More importantly it was a dot ball.

After a mid-innings stumbled Derbyshire pick up their first T20 Blast win of the summer after outplaying Lancashire Lightning, last year's beaten finalists.

Having managed only a modest total, Lancashire needed to make early inroads but a stand of 93 in 10 overs between Hashim Amla and Tillakaratne Dilshan all but ended the contest.

Shiv Thakor hit the winning run through mid-off, while Jordan Clark was Lancashire's most successful bowler with 2-30.

That could be game over for Sussex as Luke Wright and Chris Jordan fall to successive deliveries from Kyle Abbott following a fifth-wicket stand of 84.

Skipper Wright batted brilliantly for 91, made from only 47 balls, and he struck five sixes before holing out in the deep attempting another.

Jordan then drilled the next ball to cover on 35, with Middlesex's total of 221-2 now looking a long way distant.

"To be able to perform under this pressure, with guys he doesn't even know, is incredible (from Chris Gayle)."

New balls please! Chris Gayle gets down on one knee and launches Graham Napier for a massive six and then follows it up with another maximum.

Somerset are racing to victory and need just 20 off the final three overs. Gayle is 86 not out.

Simply amazing.

Hampshire restricted Glamorgan to 127 from their 20 overs to complete an excellent 21-run win.

Chris Wood was the star, taking career-best T20 figures of 4-16. Jacques Rudolph made 38 and Mark Wallace 37, but the Hampshire bowlers tightened the screw with regular wickets to secure the victory.

Earlier Sean Ervine top scored for the visitors with 49, and Will Smith made 30.

This is slipping away from Yorkshire's grasp. He takes a huge heave at Keaton Jennings and is rapped straight on the pad. Chester-le-Street erupts as a furious Maxwell stomps back to the dug-out.

He'd chanced his arm earlier in his innings with a hoick at his first ball that just fell short of Scott Borthwick in the deep. It's down to Andrew Gale now.

"There are not many people in the game who are capable of this. When you see Chris Gayle hit those sixes, it is really something else.

"Somerset have just crept in front of where Essex were at this point."

"Sussex chased 226 to beat Essex at Chelmsford last year - second highest T20 chase behind Windies 232 target v SA in January."

Jim Allenby is in on the act now as he hits Shaun Tait for a maximum off the first ball of his third over.

Tait follows it up with a couple of wides, but no more boundaries.

Somerset are now favourites for this game. They need just 34 off 24 balls.

The game has rapidly gone downhill for Glamorgan since the resumption after the rain.

Danny Briggs, who before this game averaged 10.15 with the ball against the Welsh side, dismissed Craig Meschede before Yasir Arafat had Mark Wallace caught for 37.

Chris Wood has just picked up the wickets of Wayne Parnell and Andrew Salter in a single over to leave the hosts in an almost impossible position, needing 40 runs from 12 balls.

Yorkshire have ridden their luck at Chester-le-Street, with Jonny Bairstow dropped early in his innings. The wicketkeeper responds by launching the ball into the stands for six.

Andrew Gale flashes hard at Paul Coughlin and gets an outside edge that flies high over the keeper's head for four and a ramp-shot to the leg-side boundary brings him another four, but Keaton Jennings bowls Bairstow four balls into his spell to put Yorkshire on the back-foot again. In comes Glenn Maxwell...

"You just saw the crowd's reaction (to that dropped catch). That was the moment. But instead, the body language has now completely shifted.

"Chris Gayle will now be wanting to really capitalise on that moment."

Oh dear, you do not drop Chris Gayle, but that's exactly what David Masters has done.

Gayle slashes Reece Topley to third man but Masters can't hold on and the ball rolls for four.

To make things worse, the balls either side of the catch also went for four.

And to finish things off a huge six down the ground. Topley went for 21 off that over.

Gayle is now motoring and 72 not out.

"It was important that we bounced back in this game after being beaten so heavily at Lord's last night.

"We had a long discussion after that Middlesex game and a lot of plans were drawn up for this match.

"The main thing is that we executed those plans, and the character of the team shone through.

"We are a young team, with no overseas players, and perhaps we are a bit inconsistent because of that."

Sussex skipper Luke Wright is still going strong at Hove, having reached a 31-ball half century with a six off James Franklin.

He followed that with a four and two successive sixes in the New Zealander's next over, but it is still a tall order for the Sharks.

Wright has now been joined by Chris Jordan following the departure of Harry Finch and one senses this could be the crucial partnership if they are to get close to Middlesex's score.

Chris Gayle has his 48th, yes 48th, T20 half-century.

He brings it up by launching Ravi Bopara for a huge leg-side six.

Gayle is simply extraordinary - after looking completely out of sorts he is now firing.

"It's a really good time to get that wicket for Somerset. They needed a breakthrough."
