  • Yorkshire beat Nottinghamshire by 164 runs; Ben Coad takes 10-130 in match

  1. Dodgy light a worry for Glamorgan?published at 17:17 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Gloucestershire 236 & 372 v Glamorgan 526-9d & 22-0 (target 83)

    It's a bit gloomy out there in Bristol and Gloucestershire are taking their sweet time over bowling their overs. The umpires have had a word, but could bad light spoil Glamorgan's party?

    The bowling has been wayward and Nick Selman and Jack Taylor are helping themselves. 62 more runs needed with 17 overs slated. If they stay out there, surely it'll be a Glamorgan win.

  2. DERBYSHIRE BEAT MIDDLESEX BY 101 RUNSpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Derbyshire 261 & 333-3 dec v Middlesex 157 & 340

    All over at Derby and what a moment for the home side!

    A first victory in the County Championship on home soil since September 2014. That's 1,307 days in old money.

    Duanne Olivier bowls Tim Murtagh to complete the job despite some superb lower-order resistance from Middlesex. James Harris finished unbeaten on 64 at the other end.

    Derbyshire win by 101 runs. I think they'll enjoy that one.

    Sheer concentration. That's a lot of balls.

  4. Last hour!published at 17:07 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Derbyshire 261 & 333-3 dec v Middlesex 157 & 335-9 (target 442)

    Here we go then for the final hour of play at Derby.

    Sixty minutes to go or 16 overs, whichever one takes longer to complete.

    Derbyshire need just the one ball to get the job done...

  5. Glamorgan begin their chasepublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Gloucestershire 236 & 372 v Glamorgan 526-9d & 11-0 (target 83)

    So, this could be fun. James Bracey's heroics mean that Glamorgan face a potentially tricky little chase of 83 runs in 21 overs in Bristol.

    Jack Murphy and Nick Selman are the openers and they've made it through the first two overs unscathed.

  6. Gloucestershire finally dismissedpublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Gloucestershire 236 & 372 v Glamorgan 526-9 dec & 1-0 (target 83)

    So Gloucestershire were finally all out for 372 in their second innings at Bristol.

    Glamorgan now need 83 from 21 overs to take the win.

    James Bracey finished unbeaten on 120 for the hosts, a superb effort in his 328-ball stay.

  7. And then there were two...published at 16:59 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    But for how much longer?

    Derbyshire just a wicket away from winning against Middlesex while Glamorgan will need to chase 83 in 21 overs to beat Gloucestershire.

  8. Shake of hands at Grace Roadpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Sussex 438-8d & 241-4d (83 overs) v Leicestershire 422-9d

    They've called the whole thing off at Grace Road, with Luke Wells unbeaten on 102 for Sussex.

    A docile pitch meant wickets were hard to come by. Plenty of positives for both sides though.

  9. Surrey's young players step uppublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Surrey (211 & 407-9d) beat Hampshire (147 & 332) by 139 runs

    What will please Surrey the most perhaps is the performances of their young, home-grown players.

    Ollie Pope, 20, is the stand-out with a wonderful 145 - his second century in as many games against Hampshire - but 19-year-old Amar Virdi (4-79) dismissed James Vince, Hashim Amla, Rilee Rossouw and Kyle Abbott in the second innings, while Sam Curran, also 19, took 4-39 in the first innings too.

    The future - and indeed the rest of this season - looks bright at the Oval.

    Derbyshire 261 & 333-3 dec v Middlesex 157 & 329-9 (target 442)

    Finally the breakthrough comes for Derbyshire!

    Tom Helm is hit on the back leg from Matt Critchley's sharply turning delivery and that's the ninth wicket for the hosts after a partnership of 106.

    Tim Murtagh the last man in for Middlesex.

  11. SURREY BEAT HAMPSHIRE BY 139 RUNSpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 23 April 2018
    Breaking

    Surrey (211 & 407-9d) beat Hampshire (147 & 332) by 139 runs

    It needed something inspired to dismiss Sam Northeast and it's Ben Foakes who provides it behind the stumps, diving forward one-handed to claim a low catch off the outside edge.

    It's Matt Dunn who has done the business and ended a brilliant innings from Northeast, who made 129 in his marathon 254-ball innings.

    Good fight shown by Hampshire today, but they've been outplayed over the four days. A deserved opening round win for Surrey at the Oval.

    Gloucestershire 236 & 370-9 (117 overs) v Glamorgan 526-9 dec

    Gloucestershire keeping Glamorgan at bay still with 25 overs to go in the game.

    Liam Norwell is out at number 11 batting with a runner as he keeps James Bracey (119 not out) company.

    Are the hosts going to escape here after looking set for an innings defeat at one stage today?

    They lead by 80 runs...

    Tim Cricket-Guy: I'm in Cape Town watching the rain pour down here... ( I'm sure Hampshire wish it would rain).

    Not looking likely Tim! Only 25 more overs to bat out!

  14. 6 runs

    Six from Tom Helm!published at 16:42 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Derbyshire 261 & 333-3 dec v Middlesex 157 & 323-8 (target 442)

    Big six from Tom Helm off Matt Critchley takes him to within a run of his half-century.

    But, it does bring up a 100-run partnership between himself and James Harris (58 not out) at the other end.

    Frustration continues for Derbyshire.

  15. Edwards survivespublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Surrey 211 & 407-9d v Hampshire 147 & 330-9 (113 overs)

    Jade Dernbach gets a whole over at Fidel Edwards, but the West Indian hangs in there, despite seeing a few past his ears and missing a slower ball which struck him on the backside. Eventful stuff.

  16. 100 runs

    100 for Luke Wellspublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 23 April 2018

    Leicestershire 422-9 dec v Sussex 438-8 dec & 233-4

    Century time for Sussex opener Luke Wells at Grace Road.

    It's grinding to a draw there, but he will be delighted to have stuck around and got himself some valuable time at the crease...

    Surrey 211 & 407-9d v Hampshire 147 & 330-9 (112 overs)

    Two maidens. It seems Sam Northeast has agreed with Fidel Edwards that he'll take the fast bowling and the tailender the spinner.

    But Surrey spot the ruse and bring on Jade Dernbach to replace Amar Virdi. Will it work?
