Jake Ball to have knee scanpublished at 13:57 British Summer Time 28 June 2017
Notts 371 v Kent 180 & 105-4
Image source, Rex FeaturesNottinghamshire and England bowler Jake Ball will undergo a scan today to assess the extent of a knee injury.
The fast bowler left the field yesterday evening, having bowled 2.1 overs and taken the wicket of Daniel Bell-Drummond.
With Notts' One-Day Cup final against Surrey on Saturday and England's Test series against South Africa beginning next week, the 26-year-old will have his fingers crossed for good news.
'Winless Derbyshire likely to be frustrated'published at 13:55 British Summer Time 28 June 2017
Glamorgan 237 v Derbyshire 288 & 2-0
Nick Webb
BBC Wales SportAfter escaping yesterday, there's been persistent rain for most of the day in Cardiff, and the covers are extended across the square with no work possible at the moment.
We'll be lucky to get much if any play today, and it's winless Derbyshire who'll be more frustrated, as they lead by 53 runs with all their second-innings wickets in hand.
There was an unlikely final day chase when Glamorgan beat Durham in Swansea last month, and it'll probably need similar enterprise from the two captains tomorrow to cook up a positive result.

Essex 106-0 v Middlesex 246
Image source, Rex FeaturesWhen they do get going at the County Ground, Division One leaders Essex start in a very healthy position - 140 runs behind Middlesex with 10 wickets in hand.
Alastair Cook resumes on 64.
Sadly the prospects of play at Headingley and the Ageas Bowl look bleak to say the least...

Image source, Rex FeaturesYesterday the driest county ground in the country received more than an inch of rain.
Not a ball was bowled.
The good news - the wet stuff has shifted and we should get plenty of play at Chelmsford.
The bad news - the rain has shunted north and west, so we're still in for some delayed starts. Hey ho, you've got to love the British summer!
