  1. Tea at Canterburypublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Australian XI 397, England Lions 123-3

    They are now taking tea at Canterbury.

    England Lions still trail the Australian XI by 274 runs with seven wickets in hand.

    Warwickshire's Dom Sibley on 50, Gloucestershire's James Bracey on 33.

  2. Tea at Chelmsfordpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Essex 245 & 299-7 v Warwickshire 161

    Tea at Chelmsford and we don't expect Essex to come back out to bat, with a declaration at the forefront of their minds.

    The hosts are 299-7 and would set Warwickshire a target of 384 to win.

    Dan Lawrence (74*) and Simon Harmer (43*) are the not out batsman, with 3-28 for Will Rhodes taking him to eight match wickets.

  3. Tea at Headingleypublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Yorkshire 520, Somerset 196 & 79-0

    Somerset have battled to 79-0 after being asked to follow on by Yorkshire. Tom Abell is on 43 and Azhar Ali 36. This really looked like it could be done and dusted inside three days but Somerset are top of the County Championship for a reason.

    They still trail by 245 runs though, so work to do.

  4. 50 runs

    for Ravi Ashwinpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Surrey 240 & 224-9 dec, Nottinghamshire 116 & 179-9

    As if taking 12 wickets in the match wasn't enough, Ravi Ashwin has now gone and got himself what will be an in-vain 50 for Notts. Since reaching his half-century he's climbed in to a few so has already moved on to 65!

    He could have his eye on the 10-wicket haul/century double-salvo at this rate.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Milnes c Organ b Berg 1published at 15:36 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Hampshire 409-9 dec v Kent 555

    That's the end of Kent's first innings as Matthew Milnes chops a Gareth Berg ball outside off stump straight to a fielder for one.

    Kent all out for 555, leading Warwickshire by 146 runs at the midway point of this match at the Ageas Bowl - Joe Denly (154), Heino Kuhn (95) and Daniel Bell-Drummond (94) with the significant contributions.

    For Hampshire, Fidel Edwards' five wickets was the high point on a flat wicket.

    Dom Sibley has his first half-century in England colours since making 99 for England Under-19s against South Africa at Wantage Road, Northampton in August 2014.

    He has moved on to 50, while Gloucestershire's James Bracey is on 33.

    Their stand is now worth 72

  7. wicket

    WICKET Rayner c Rahane b Berg 26published at 15:25 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Hampshire 409-9 dec v Kent 543-9

    A strange end for Ollie Rayner and Kent are nine down.

    He went to cut a Gareth Berg ball but ballooned up for a comfortable catch for Hampshire's Ajinkya Rahane.

    Kent are 543-9 - a lead of 134 - with Matthew Milnes joining Harry Podmore (10*).

  8. Essex thrive despite new ballpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Essex 245 & 280-7 v Warwickshire 161

    Warwickshire took the new ball a few overs ago but it hasn't disrupted Essex batsman Dan Lawrence and Simon Harmer, who are scoring as freely as ever.

    The visitors look to be feeling the effects of chasing this match with a few loose deliveries.

    Essex 280-7 - leading by 364 - will they wait for Lawrence (71*) to reach a possible century before declaring?

  9. wicket

    WICKET Broad st Smith b Virdi 30published at 15:19 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Surrey 240 & 224-9 dec, Nottinghamshire 116 & 148-9

    Yeah, the tea thing. Notts aren't making it.

    Stuart Broad wants to give Amar Virdi some tap. You know, teach him a lesson for taking 13 wickets already in the match. He gives him the charge and doesn't connect, so 13 becomes 14 and this 56-run stand is over.

    What a performance from the Surrey spinner.

  10. Notts battling hard toopublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Surrey 240 & 224-9 dec, Nottinghamshire 116 & 148-8

    Ravi Ashwin (41) and Stuart Broad (30) have now shared a 50-run stand for Notts. When they came together it looked like this match was on the verge of completion.

    It would still be a major shock if this got beyond day three. Or even tea for that matter.

  11. Somerset digging inpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Yorkshire 520, Somerset 196 & 56-0

    Somerset are making a much better fist of it at Headingley after being asked to follow on by Yorkshire with a deficit of 324 runs.

    Captain Tom Abell and opening partner Azhar Ali have taken the score beyond 50 and a decent scoring rate.

    Kesh Maharaj - who took seven wickets in the first innings - has just been brought on. Maybe Yorkshire had enough breathing space just to give him a rest?

    England Lions' fourth-wicket pair Dom Sibley have now celebrated a 50 partnership.

    Warwickshire's England contender Sibley has survived being dropped on 3 to move on to 42.

    Gloucestershire's James Bracey is on 27.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Dan Lawrencepublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Essex 245 & 262-7 v Warwickshire 161

    Essex reach 250 and pass their first innings total of 245, with Simon Harmer the aggressor.

    Well... I say that, but Dan Lawrence brings up his 50 with a boundary and hits another four with the next ball.

    The hosts are 262-7 and a declaration feels imminent against Warwickshire, as they lead by 346 runs at Chelmsford.

  14. 100 runs

    for Delray Rawlins...and OUTpublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Sussex 127 & 245-6, Lancashire 494-6 dec

    Delray Rawlins goes to his maiden first-class ton from just 99 balls by smashing a straight six. Next delivery he is caught and bowled by Lancashire leg-spinner Matty Parkinson. Batted, though.

    Sussex are now 122 behind and in with a genuine chance of making Lancs bat again.

  15. Five-wicket haul (Edwards)published at 14:50 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Hampshire 409-9 dec v Kent 511-8

    Fidel EdwardsImage source, Rex Features

    Hampshire's Fidel Edwards gets his five-for by bowling Heino Kuhn, who was clearly shaken by being struck in the neck area just a few short deliveries back.

    Kuhn goes for 95 - he was cruising towards his ton before being hit by an Edwards bouncer, but has his stumps uprooted by some fantastic Edwards bowling.

    Figures of 5-108 for the West Indian but Kent are still 511-8 with Harry Podmore in to join Ollie Rayner.

  16. Will Essex declare soon?published at 14:49 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Essex 245 & 230-7 v Warwickshire 161

    Which side of tea will Essex declare?

    They have a lead of 314 over Warwickshire, with Dan Lawrence (44*) and Simon Harmer (6*) slowly but surely pushing the total up to 230-7.

    Essex feel they have plenty of time to finish the job and don't need to push things too much.

    Joe Root (centre) and Jonny Bairstow celebrate England's World Cup win arm in arm

    Yorkshire chief executive Mark Arthur popped in to the commentary box at Headingley to speak to BBC Radio Leeds commentator Jonathan Doidge after being lucky enough to watch England win the World Cup at Lord's yesterday.

    Anyone else jealous?

    Yorkshire had Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Adil Rashid in the England XI - all three players are products of the club's academy.

    "What a moment for cricket around the country. Hopefully this can provide us with a platform to grow the game," said Arthur.

    "We've already had a lot of success with the All Stars programme, both boys and girls, and this match being on free-to-air TV has to make a big difference.

    "I think we'll feel it locally too for our first T20 Blast game here when I'd expect there to be a lot more people wanting to come and watch a game of cricket.

    "It would be great to have Adil, Joe and Jonny playing for Yorkshire more as a showcase for those fans in our area but we're realistic. They're very busy cricketers who need to be looked after and given their rest time as well showcase the game."

  18. ouch!

    Hampshire 409-9 dec v Kent 511-7

    Heino Kuhn goes down after being struck in the neck/chin area by a Fidel Edwards bouncer.

    It's a devastating blow and the physio comes out, but Kuhn is moving and gingerly gets to his feet.

    Kent's South African batsman is on 95 and looks set to continue, with his side 511-7 against Hampshire and leading by 102 runs.

  19. for Amar Virdipublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 15 July 2019

    Surrey 240 & 224-9 dec, Nottinghamshire 116 & 92-8

    Another five-wicket haul for Amar Virdi to go with his eight from the first innings. This is some performance from the Surrey spinner.

    He has Luke Wood caught at slip by Rikki Clarke and this match is wrapping up.

    Some more athletic fielding at Chelmsford, where slip Will Rhodes gets down to cling onto a loose shot from Adam Wheater, who departs for 21.

    It's a wicket for Jeetan Patel and Essex are 215-7, leading by 299 as Simon Harmer comes to the crease.
