  1. Taxi for Fuller!published at 20:58 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    By the way, that 34-run over we mentioned a few moments ago was bowled by Gloucestershire's James Fuller - or at least most of it was, as Craig Miles replaced the seamer to bowl the final delivery, though we're still trying to find out why.

    Either way, believe it or not, that's not actually the most expensive over Fuller has ever bowled in T20 cricket.

    In 2012, also at Sussex, Scott Styris tanked the 25-year-old for 38 runs off a single set of six, which did include a couple of no-balls.

    He won't fancy a return trip to the south coast any time soon, you'd have thought.

  2. Second-best total for Derbyspublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    BBC Radio Derby's Iain O'Brien: "Who would have thought after last week's T20 Blast loss to Worcestershire Rapids and the defeat by Surrey in the Championship that Derbyshire would come out and post a target as imposing as that."

    Today's total is Derbyshire's second highest T20 score. Their best came at Headingley in 2010 - when they made 222-5 in beating Yorkshire by 65 runs.

  3. Notts are set 202 for victorypublished at 20:55 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Dan Christian is the death bowler and his tight rein on the batsmen slips as Tom Knight takes a four off his first ball and scampers a single.

    Tom Poynton clears Ben Hilfenhaus's head for a six off the third ball and sloppy fielding allows Derbyshire a pair of twos before Poynton nabs a single off the final delivery.

    Derbyshire's batsmen have all contributed, and Notts have a mountain to climb.

    "We needed to win tonight and it keeps up our momentum. We feel like we are a team in form at the moment, in all competitions, and we have players in form too.

    "Great credit should go to our coach (Matthew Maynard) who has backed the players to perform all along.

    "We did not have the best of starts to this season, but I don't think we were ever in a panic. We just kept on working hard and we knew we would get better results."

    The economical Dan Christian picks up his second wicket as Alex Hughes looks to push the score on but only finds Greg Smith in another tight over.

    Harry Gurney ends an expensive evening, having shipped 49 runs as Tom Knight and Tom Poynton help themselves to nine, all run.

    One over left.

    Maybe this one is not quite as cut and dried as it appeared when Lancashire began their reply to a moderate score of 137-8 by Birmingham Bears. After Ashwell Prince slaps a catch to point in the second over, Laurie Evans hits a six off Recordo Gordon, but then edges a catch to the keeper in the same over.

  7. SUSSEX BEAT GLOUCESTERSHIRE BY THREE WICKETSpublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    That headline could very nearly say LUKE WRIGHT instead of SUSSEX.

    Captain's innings don't get much more captain-y than that as the Sussex skipper fires a boundary off the penultimate ball of the innings to secure an unlikely win for his side. Remember that after 15 overs they were 104-6 before the Luke Wright show really got going.

    He ends on an unbeaten 111 and the crowd in Bristol have seen something special.

  8. WICKET Carberry c Pettini b Topley 8published at 20:44 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Things have gone from bad to worse for Hampshire following James Vince's first-ball dismissal against Essex.

    Joe Gatting, playing in place of injured Sean Ervine, chips a catch to mid-off to give David Masters a wicket and Reece Topley then forces a false shot from Michael Carberry, whose top edge ends up in the hands of Mark Pettini. It is going to require a major innings from someone if they are to get anywhere near their target.

  9. The Wright man in the right placepublished at 20:43 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Luke Wright is batting like a man possessed. His eighth six of the match and fourth of the 19th over brings up his 100 and ensures his side have a fighting chance in a match they looked well out of.

    A rather sizeable 34 (yes, that isn't a typo, 34!) off that last over means nine more are needed from the final set of six.

  10. Postpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Nottinghamshire's bowlers are beginning to drag their team back into the East Midlands derby as Luke Fletcher removes the dangerous Shiv Thakor for eight.

    Derbyshire have lost a little impetus, with 122-2 fast becoming 158-6.

    But Tom Knight and Alex Hughes both take boundaries off Harry Gurney, whose three overs have so far gone for 40 runs.

  11. When Wright's hitting windows...published at 20:41 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms: "Luke Wright has just hit the second floor patio window and it hasn't broken.

    "He has now hit four windows at that end of the ground and none of them have broken."

    Wright has now hit seven sixes, is 96 not out off 52 balls and Sussex need 15 to win off the last seven balls.

  12. Glamorgan in a spinpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Glamorgan are in all sorts of trouble here in Wales. All of a sudden Surrey's 146 is looking a decent total.

    Azhar Mahmood has been wreaking havoc on the home side, with three wickets for 14 runs in his four overs.

    There's still reason for optimism for the Dragons though - there are plenty of overs left and Mahmood is all bowled out.

    It's an eventful first over for Hampshire as they set about trying to score 213 to beat Essex at Chelmsford. Left-arm paceman Reece Topley has to bowl 10 deliveries after sending down four wides, but one is enough for James Vince, who departs first ball.

    If Hampshire reach their target, it will be their highest successful run-chase in T20 cricket, beating the 205-4 they made against Sussex at Hove in 2008.

  14. Postpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Derbyshire are continuing to go along at a good lick, albeit at the cost of a few wickets.

    Dan Christian removes danger man Chesney Hughes, caught by Riki Wessels, for a thumping 52, plundered from just 29 balls.

    Ben Hilfenhaus then picks up his third wicket, bowling former Notts man Scott Elstone for 11, but an imposing target remains in view.

  15. Mr Wright...published at 20:32 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Luke Wright is not mucking about here: two huge sixes - to the third and second-floor balconies respectively - sees Sussex hit 21 runs off the over and give themselves some hope. He's on 71 not out. The run rate required is still just short of 16 though.

  16. NORTHANTS BEAT WORCESTERSHIRE BY TWO RUNSpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Northants withstood a brave Worcestershire fightback which saw Ross Whiteley and Ben Cox get the hosts to within three runs of an unlikely victory at New Road.

    Whiteley whacked an unbeaten 41 from 28 balls and Cox made 24, but the damage was done in an incredible end to the Northants innings.

    Sixty two runs came in the final three overs, thanks to some majestic hitting from Steven Crook (56 not out) and Rory Kleinveldt (42).

    In the Rapids reply, Whiteley ran five twos off the final over, but he was unable to hit the boundary that was needed off the final ball.

  17. Yorkshire tie with Leicestershirepublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Fletcher: "Adil Rashid is out lbw to the last ball. Jack Leaning can't believe it and throws his bat to the floor. He is disconsolate as he walks back to the dug out. The two teams will share the spoils."

  18. IT'S A TIE!published at 20:26 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Yorkshire's Adil Rashid survives a big appeal for lbw off the first ball from Ben Raine, but bat is involved and a single taken.

    Jack Leaning then takes a single off the second and the England slow bowler does likewise off ball three. A dot ball follows, but a Leaning single levels the scores off the penultimate ball...

    And, when it matters most, Leicestershire bowler Raine holds his nerve to trap Rashid lbw off the final ball to leave the scores level! What drama!

  19. Sussex slumping in Bristolpublished at 20:25 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Six down for Sussex as first Harry Finch is smartly stumped by Geraint Jones off Tom Smith's bowling, and the next over sees Will Beer join him in the dressing room as he walks after nipping a Benny Howell delivery to Jones behind the stumps. It's hard to see them winning from here - if they do, the rest if Luke Wright's innings will be worth a watch.

  20. Postpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 26 June 2015

    Jack Leaning hits Clint McKay for successive fours to put Yorkshire in the box seat.

    He then dabs the fourth ball for a single and Adil Rashid takes another single.

    Ten off the over and only five needed off the final over. Ben Raine to bowl it.
