Interval: Sussex 144-8 (20 overs) v Surrey
Have a listen to the ovation England World Cup winner Jofra Archer got as he came out to bat for Sussex.
He only managed a single, but that got the second biggest cheer of the night!

End of twitter postSussex post 144-8published at 20:20 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Wright 76, Topley 3
Sussex sneak past 140 in the final over, but it might not be enough against a strong Surrey batting line up.
Luke Wright walks off unbeaten on 76, but he's not smiling. He knows that he was fighting a lone battle out there.
Durham going like a train!published at 20:19 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Image source, Rex FeaturesWell now, I don't think they'll have much more to watch at Grace Road at this rate...
Durham have been set 159 by Leicestershire Foxes and are already 78-0 after just five overs!
Scott Steel and D'Arcy Short the two batsman doing the damage for the visitors.
Sussex 136-8 v Surreypublished at 19 overs
Wright 71, Topley 2
Sussex are just about edging their way up to something competitive.
Luke Wright squeezes Jordan Clark's final ball of the 19th over to the rope to move into the 70s.
Six deliveries to go - can they get to 150?
Lancashire looking goodpublished at 20:13 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Not looking like a happy evening in Manchester for holders Worcestershire Rapids.
They only managed to post 130-9 first up against Lancashire Lightning, who are already 26-0 after three overs in reply.
Meanwhile, more on that earlier announcement that Jos Buttler has extended his Lancashire contract until 2022.
Director of cricket Paul Allott has also confirmed to BBC Radio Lancashire that Buttler will play for the Manchester Originals team in next year's Hundred competition.
WICKETpublished at 18.2 overs
Briggs b Curran 3 (Sussex 129-8 v Surrey)
Only middle stump is left standing...
I'm not quite sure how that's happened but Tom Curran has managed to skittle Danny Briggs' off and leg pegs.
Sussex are eight down as Reece Topley comes in at 10.
Vince on his waypublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Image source, Rex FeaturesAnd another wicket falls for Hampshire against Somerset to a pretty decent catch by Lewis Gregory off Jamie Overton.
James Vince has to depart for just 1 and Hampshire are in strife on 9-2 after just 13 balls chasing 173.
Sussex 128-7 v Surreypublished at 18 overs
Wright 65, Briggs 3
Luke Wright may be annoyed with the performance of his batsmen, but it appears to have spurred him on.
The Sussex skipper smashes Jordan Clark for three fours in a row, the first pulled away, the second punched through the off side and finally one that is a bit more streaky down to third man.
14 come off the over.
Waller takes a screamer!published at 20:09 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Somerset make a strong start defending 172 against Hampshire.
Max Waller takes a stunning catch at mid-off diving full stretch to dismiss Rilee Rossouw off Jerome Taylor.
Hampshire 9-1 after two overs of their reply.
for Wrightpublished at 16.4 overs
Sussex 112-7 v Surrey
Luke Wright is fighting a lone battle for Sussex.
The skipper brings up his half-century off 46 balls, but barely raises his bat in acknowledgement. He's disappointed with his side's performance, clearly.

End of twitter postfor Ben Duckettpublished at 20:03 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Another half-century for Notts Outlaws as Ben Duckett gets in on the action against Derbyshire Falcons.
Notts now 153-2 after 16 overs.
WICKETpublished at 16.2 overs
Archer c Clarke b T Curran 1 (Sussex 109-7 v Surrey)
Ah.
Jofra Archer can bat, I promise you, but it's not been his best time in recent weeks with the willow.
He gets a leading edge off Tom Curran straight to Rikki Clarke, and goes third ball. Sussex are in tatters.
It's raining in Northamptonpublished at 20:01 British Summer Time 26 July 2019
Hopefully not a long delay at Wantage Road as Birmingham Bears hope to chase down 156 to beat Northamptonshire Steelbacks...
