    We're into the last 30 balls of Glamorgan's innings in Bristol and Jacques Rudolph is still at the crease, with the South African left-hander forming a fine partnership with Colin Ingram. They've put on 50 runs in the last five overs and look well set for a decent finish to the innings.

    Derbyshire skipper Wes Durston has won the toss and opted to field first at Old Trafford, and the visitors keep the same XI that lost by six wickets to Northants Steelbacks on Thursday.

    It's a notable evening for 18-year-old seam bowler Saqib Mahmood, who makes his first-team debut for Lancashire. Batsman Karl Brown, meanwhile, plays his 50th T20 game for the Red Rose.

    Lancashire Lightning: Croft (capt), Prince, Livingstone, Brown, Davies, Faulkner, Clark, Lilley, Parry, Bailey, Mahmood.

    A let off for Glamorgan as Chris Dent drops the catch that could have sent Jacques Rudolph on his way. Otherwise, the South African has looked comfortable at the crease, hitting nine fours for his unbeaten 65.

    BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan at Taunton:

    "If things brighten up before 19:58 BST we'll have a five-over shootout here between Somerset and Surrey.

    "We're getting the full weather-related repertoire here in Taunton: Umbrella. Why does it always rain on me? Sunshine on a rainy day. Raindrops keep falling on my head..."

    Any other rain-related songs they could play at Taunton? That's a Twitter topic if ever we've seen one.

  9. Bell back among the runspublished at 18:09 British Summer Time 12 June 2015

    After making 90 in Birmingham Bears' win over Durham last weekend, England batsman Ian Bell hopes to continue that form tonight against Nottinghamshire Outlaws - weather permitting of course...

    "It was great to free up and play a few shots," said Bell. "In a perfect world I would have seen the job through and finished with 100 not out, but I guess if someone had offered me 90 at the start I would have accepted it.

    "It was a really good win for us. The guys have put a great platform down in the group so hopefully we can build on that against Notts.

    "Even missing a couple of guys away with England, they are a strong team, but I'm really looking forward to playing for the Bears at Edgbaston again in front of a big crowd."

    Well, England's bowling display wasn't the greatest at The Oval earlier on, but they've made a good start as they chase 399 to win the second one-day international against New Zealand.

    Openers Alex Hales and Jason Roy are still at the crease, with England 77-0 in the 12th over.

  11. WICKET Meschede (c Cockbain b Howell 26)published at 18:02 British Summer Time 12 June 2015

    And Gloucestershire have finally broken what looked to be a rather formidable partnership of Jacques Rudolph and Craig Meschede, with the latter being dismissed by Benny Howell.

    But there is cause for celebration at the crease as Rudolph reaches his 50 from the next ball.

    Well, the weather is having an effect early in this evening's schedule.

    Two more matches are due to begin at 18:30 BST - Lancashire v Derbyshire and Birmingham Bears v Nottinghamshire.

    Glamorgan have started well over the Severn Bridge in Bristol. Jacques Rudolph looks to be enjoying himself at the crease. The South African has hit six fours tonight, with three coming in the sixth over alone. David Payne has gone for 30 runs from his two overs so far.

  17. Rain stops playpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 12 June 2015

    Leicestershire bowler Atif Sheikh thinks he has Northants opener Richard Levi caught off the first ball of the innings, but the umpire says not out. Levi then responds by crashing Sheikh to the boundary for four off his next delivery. The seamer sends down three dot balls to end the over.

    Sadly, the players are then sent back to the pavilion as the rain starts falling again. We could be in for a lengthy delay here.

    Loving those trousers, by the way.
