    And it's a similar tale of early-innings problems for Hampshire against Somerset....

    Chasing 190 to secure a home quarter-final, Hampshire are already 10-3 inside the first two overs. Calvin Dickinson, James Vince and George Bailey all back in the hutch.

  3. Pollock makes good startpublished at 20:38 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Lancashire 163-4 (20 overs) v Birmingham 23-0 (2 overs)

    Birmingham Bears can guarantee their place in the quarter-finals with a successful run chase against Lancashire and have made a strong start.

    Ed Pollock is living up to his famous surname by belting the ball over the rope for a six off Ryan McLaren. That takes the Bears to 23 from just two overs.

    The target is 164 remember...

  4. Middlesex in strife early onpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Glamorgan v Middlesex 17-4 (3.1 overs)

    They had to wait around for play to start in Cardiff, but now the home fans have been rewarded with a stunning start for Glamorgan.

    Just 14 overs a side in this one currently, but Middlesex are already up against it at 17-4 after three overs.

    Marchant de Lange and Michael Hogan with two wickets each, including England one-day captain Eoin Morgan for just one.

  5. Nash clears Bopara for sixpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Sussex 172-4 (20 overs) v Essex

    And in case you missed it earlier, here is one of the pick of Chris Nash's shots from his 73 for Sussex.

    Ravi Bopara was the hapless Essex bowler who saw his delivery dispatched for a maximum...

  6. Early breakthrough for Derbyshirepublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Derbyshire 4-1 (1 over) v Worcestershire 146-8

    Gone second ball!

    Derbyshire will know early wickets are crucial with just 146 on the board and that is just what Wayne Madsen has served up.

    He bowls Worcestershire skipper Joe Leach on the second ball of the innings and Dersyshire's hopes of making the quarter-finals are back on.

  7. Sussex make 172published at 20:32 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Sussex 172-4 (20 overs) v Essex

    Halfway stage at Hove where the hosts have made 172-4 from their 20 overs.

    Laurie Evans finishes unbeaten on 47 off 34 balls following Chris Nash's earlier 73 from 55 balls.

    Both sides have a chance of making the quarter-finals, but may well have to depend on other results even if they do get over the line tonight on the south coast.

  8. Durham closing on 200published at 20:29 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Northants v Durham 191-3 (18 overs)

    Defending champions Northamptonshire Steelbacks are in serious trouble.

    Bottom of the table Durham have reached 190-3 after 18 overs. Northants need to win tonight and need to win handsomely to improve their net run rate to have a chance of making the last eight.

  9. Sports Extra joins action at Canterburypublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent v Surrey 154-9 (20 overs)

    You can hear that on your DAB digital radio as well as online and via the BBC Sport app on your mobile and tablet.

  10. Evans finds his rangepublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Sussex 162-4 (18.3 overs) v Essex

    Sussex are looking good for an imposing score against Essex at Hove.

    Laurie Evans (41 not out off 28 balls) has dispatched the Eagles bowling over the ropes twice already.

    Chris Nash's superb effort at the top of the order finally ends on 73 as Mohammed Amir bowls him around his legs.

  11. Surrey make 154published at 20:24 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent v Surrey 154-9 (20 overs)

    End of Surrey's innings at Canterbury and after Jason Roy (78 off 43 balls) gave them a blistering start, they fell away somewhat amid some disciplined Kent bowling.

    Adam Milne finished with 3-26 for the Spitfires and Kent will chase 155 to secure their spot in the quarter-finals.

  12. Delport takes Foxes to 203published at 20:23 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Notts v Leicestershire 203-5 (18 overs)

    Cameron Delport is rightfully being clapped from the field at Trent Bridge as the opener ends unbeaten on 109.

    Leicestershire had it all to do, starting fifth against against Notts who top the table but they've broken the 200 barrier and have given themselves every chance.

  13. Play starts in Cardiffpublished at 20:22 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Glamorgan v Middlesex - match reduced to 14 overs each

    Good news to bring you from Cardiff.

    After the earlier rain, we're off and running. It'll be 14 overs each as long as we don't get any more interruptions.

    Glamorgan won the toss and elected to bowl first.

  14. Derbyshire make 146published at 20:20 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Derbyshire v Worcestershire 146-8 (20 overs)

    I've waited a long time for this.

    My namesake, Derbyshire's Matt Henry is run out in the final over. So long have I waited to live text on a match featuring the New Zealander. Henry made 15 down the order as his side scrapped their way to 146-8 with Wayne Madsen top scoring (55). Derbyshire need just a point to qualify remember.

  15. Somerset make 189published at 20:17 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Interval time at the Ageas Bowl in the South Group game.

    Peter Trego (84 not out off 50 balls) has propelled quarter-final hopeful-ists Somerset to 189-3 in their 20 overs.

  16. Lancashire set Birmingham 164 to winpublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Lancashire v Birmingham 163-4 (20 overs)

    A six in the 20th over from Ryan McLaren gets Lancashire up to 163. Not a game-winning first innings but a decent effort. It's a spinners' track and it won't be easy for the Bears to chase this total with the pressure of a quarter-final place at stake.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Buttler (c De Grandhomme b Stone) 58published at 20:13 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Lancashire v Birmingham 152-4 (19 overs)

    Jos Buttler goes as he tries to up the scoring late in the Lancashire innings. He's got his side to a decent total. How many more can they get off the final over?

    Sussex 134-3 (16.1 overs) v Essex

    Sussex opener Chris Nash (66 not out off 50 balls) continues to find the holes in Essex's field.

  19. Claydon keeps it tightpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent v Surrey 136-6 (17.1 overs)

    Mitch Claydon comes to the party for Kent with a brilliant over that concedes just one run.

    Crucial time to deliver a brilliant over of variation in pace and bounce.

    Rikki Clarke then falls off the opening ball of the next over as Alex Balke takes a catch on the boundary and after their lightning-quick start, Surrey's innings is falling away a bit.
