    Middlesex's four-run win in a nine-over thrash against Somerset last night moved them above their opponents into fifth place in South Group - but they are just two points adrift of leaders Glamorgan, who head the table by one point from Surrey, Sussex and Gloucestershire.

    In North Group, Northants, Birmingham Bears and Worcestershire all have nine points, with the Steelbacks - winners in 2013 -  on top by virtue of a superior run-rate. They are not in action tonight, though, so things may be about to change.

  10. Gayle blows outpublished at 18:00 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    The Universe Boss is gone, but the T20 Blast rolls on.

    Yes, Chris Gayle may be history as far as this season's competition is concerned, but there are plenty of other batsman capable of providing big-hitting thrills.

    Ross Taylor of Sussex and Glamorgan's Colin Ingram are jointly tied with Gayle at the top of the 'most sixes' list, with 13 each, but Worcestershire's Tom Kohler-Cadmore - the leading run-scorer in the competition - has only one fewer.

    And tonight we have the mouthwatering prospect of England's Ben Stokes flexing his muscles for Durham.

    Who's going to have the fans diving for cover in our seven games this evening? Stay with us for the next few hours and find out. Play in the first four starts at 18:30 BST.
