Durham 132-4 (18.2 overs) v Northants
Ooh this isn't a great start to the 19th over as Faheem Ashraf bowls a no ball. The free hit.....
...goes for one run. Northants have got away with that one.

Durham 121-4 (17.1 overs) v Northants
Graham Clark had to go for it really, pulling the ball to Charlie Thurston at deep square leg.
This is really good death bowling from Northants.
Durham 119-3 (16.4 overs) v Northants
Ben Raine hits consecutive fours before Pakistan international Faheem Ashraf responds perfectly by sending off stump cartwheeling behind the batsman.
First wicket in English county cricket for the all-rounder.
Hampshire v Sussex Sharks
News from The Ageas Bowl.
The match is due to start at 20:15 BST, with 14 overs a side from there.
That is 75 minutes after the scheduled start, assuming there is no further rain on the south coast.
The toss will be conducted at 19:55 BST.
Durham 110-2 (16 overs) v Northants
Four overs to go, get your score predictions in now.
I'm going for 138-5.
Durham 102-2 (14.4 overs) v Northants
A second wicket for Northants and it's almost a replay of the first!
Graeme White bowls it and Scott Steel chips the ball straight to Matt Coles at long on.
White now has figures of 2-34 from 3.4 overs, not bad at all.
Still just the one game ongoing. So frustrating!
Durham 92-1 (13.3 overs) v Northants
Just less than seven overs to go in the first innings of our only match on at the moment.
Scott Steel has just launched the ball over bowler Josh Cobb for the game's first six. Durham have really got to be targeting 140 as a minimum I think.
Durham 69-1 (10.5 overs) v Northants
Graeme White is mobbed by his team-mates, D'Arcy Short looked in good nick but he's out now, caught at long on.
That could be a very big wicket.
Not much to report in terms of updates at our rain-affected matches.
They're about to have an inspection at the Ageas Bowl, where Hampshire are playing Sussex.
But still no play at Chelmsford, Grace Road nor Headingley.
Durham 67-0 (10.2 overs) v Northants
Just the 11 fours and no sixes so far for Durham.
Surely with no wickets gone, they'll start to seriously up the run rate now.
Durham 50-0 (7.4 overs) v Northants
Two fours from D'Arcy Short in as many balls help bring up the Jets' 50.
And Australian Short looks set now, he's got 36 off 30 balls.
Essex Eagles v Surrey (19:00 BST)
Surrey captain Jade Dernbach is at the top of his mark and ready to bowl the first ball of the innings.
But the rain has got heavier, and umpires Jeffrey Evans and Jeremy Lloyds have a quick confab and decide to take the players off.
The covers are coming back on as well.

Durham 40-0 (7 overs) v Northants
I think Durham know they've got to accelerate now, they've hit 11 runs off the last over.
In other news, there seems to be a lot in at Chester-le-Street tonight which can only be good news.
Essex Eagles v Surrey (19:00 BST)
In the South Group, Essex Eagles already have a bit of pressure on them after losing their opening fixture at Middlesex last night.
The Eagles made 164-6 from their 20 overs, with Ryan ten Doeschate top-scoring with an unbeaten 74 from 46 balls.
However, they were then on the end of an AB de Villiers masterclass, as the South African plundered 88 not out from 43 balls and Middlesex won by seven wickets.
Surrey, visitors to Chelmsford tonight, won the inaugural Twenty20 Cup in 2003, but since then have finished runners-up twice.
The south Londoners are without talisman Jason Roy after his World Cup heroics with England, but do have squad member Tom Curran, Australia batsman Aaron Finch and South Africa spinner Imran Tahir.
Both these sides failed to qualify for the quarter-finals last season.
Durham 27-0 (5.3 overs) v Northants
Last few balls of the powerplay as South African Dwaine Pretorius comes into the bowling attack for Northants.
An even start so far - slow going, but no wickets.
