Ward Jenner: Most memorable moment of 2017? I guess finding out your son is England's 12th man for Lord's Test would be right up there
Beat that! Jersey and Sussex batsman Jonty Jenner was indeed 12th man for England v South Africa in July. Did he take any catches Ward? I can't remember, there have been a million hours of cricket since that Test!

The big man has been in this position at slip throughout the innings to negotiate any low bounce and he's now got his man.
Roelof van der Merwe finds the edge of Steve Eskinazi and Tresco does the rest.
Six to go for Somerset.

Worcestershire 335 & 166-3 v Durham 208
Hopefully Worcestershire didn't party too hard after securing promotion yesterday.
They're professionals, I'm sure they were in bed at 9pm.
Anyway, the lead over Durham is approaching 300 and a declaration can be expected any time soon.
Worcestershire are 99.9% certain to go up as Division Two champions.

Warwickshire 188 & 186 v Hampshire 116 & 20-1 - target 259
Heavy overnight rain has left a very damp outfield at Edgbaston and we have a delayed start.
There will be an inspection at 10:45 BST with play hopefully following soon after.
That's bad news for Middlesex. Hampshire only need a draw to survive. Then it becomes a straight shootout between Somerset and Middlesex.

BBC Radio GloucestershireIn a final day effort to entertain, Gloucestershire have declared on 224-2 leaving two 20-year-old's tantalisingly close to a century apiece. James Bracey is stranded on 82, George Hankins on 79.
Rumour is that, following some pies, Derbyshire will set the home side 380 runs in 80 overs to win.
Last day fun at Bristol!
