End of twitter postSomerset pair looking 'assured'published at 13:27 British Summer Time 29 August 2018
Somerset 105-2 v Yorkshire - lunch
Isabelle Westbury
Former Middlesex captain at HeadingleyAfter deciding to forego the uncontested toss, Somerset were put into bat by hosts Yorkshire and half an hour in looked to be rueing their decision.
A wicket apiece from opening bowlers Jack Brooks and David Willey had Somerset floundering at 5-2 after just eight overs.
However a 100-wicket partnership between the increasingly assured figures of James Hildreth and Pakistan international Azhar Ali steered the visitors to a more comfortable position at lunch.
Crawley shows the way for Kentpublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 29 August 2018
Derbyshire v Kent 133-1 (32 overs)
Adam Whitty
BBC Radio Kent at DerbyIf there was ever an adult education class called ‘stepping up to the mark 101’, your teacher could well be a Mr Zak Crawley.
The 20-year-old Kent batsman was promoted to opener - with Daniel Bell-Drummond placed down in the middle order - against Derbyshire.
Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Crawley has looked elegant a solid he hears his maiden first class century
His team, in need of a win and batting bonus points to help their promotion push, could have faultered after Sean Dickson’s early wicket, but the 6 ft 5 batsman has stood firm.
He has driven wonderfully in an aggressive innings that, thanks to a century stand with Joe Denly (47*), has put Kent in control at lunch.
For most of the time he was at the crease he was going at more than a run a ball. At 76*, will he have a better chance to get his maiden first class ton?
