    Middlesex 260 v Derbyshire 199-4

    With more Parkinson family fun at Grace Road, we omitted to tell you that Leus du Plooy has reached a half-century for Derbyshire off 111 balls.

    He now has 55, partner Harvey Hosein is 56 not out and they are rapidly closing in on a three-figure partnership - but the players are now off for bad light.

    Slater 25, Compton 8

    A superb cover drive brings Slater four runs off Plunkett.

    Leics 155 v Lancashire 165-9

    Kit Harris
    BBC Sport commentator

    We’ve just had the biggest cheer of the match so far. Parkinson lbw Parkinson 29 on Monday has been followed by Parkinson lbw b Parkinson 4 today.

    The twin brothers from Bolton have got each other out in exactly the same manner: half forward to a ball pitching on leg stump and straightening.

    It was even the same umpire, and he used the same finger to give both decisions.

    If that doesn’t go in the annual “index of unusual occurrences”, I don’t know what will.

    Charlesworth 70, Van Buuren 81

    Gareth Berg replaces Hutton at the Pavilion End.

    He drags a ball down wide of off stump and the ball is cut away by Van Buuren for two.

    A single to point and Van Buuren is on 81.

    A horrid bumper soars over Charlesworth and it's a no-ball.

    Eight overs left tonight and wickets hard to come by for Northants.

  6. Surrey 402-6 dec v Notts 52-1published at 17:21 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Slater 18, Compton 8

    Liam Plunkett aborts his delivery as a pigeon nearly flies into his back.

    The next actual ball is played to mid on by Compton. No run.

    Maiden over.

  8. Gloucs 189-6 v Northantspublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Charlesworth 69, Van Buuren 76

    Hutton bowls a bumper and Charlesworth pulls to square leg for one.

    Another bumper and Van Buuren is hurried into a pull to leg for one more.

    Charlesworth pulls to mid-wicket for two more. He's on 69.

    Ten overs left before stumps.

  9. Surrey 402-6 dec v Notts 50-1published at 17:15 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Slater 18, Compton 7

    Liam Plunkett is in the attack for Surrey and his fifth ball is driven through backward point by Compton for four.

    Jordan Clark bowls Slater a bumper and the Notts opener is a bit cramped as he nudges the ball off his hip for one.

    That's the Notts 50.

  10. 50 runs

    for Harvey Hoseinpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Middlesex 260 v Derbyshire 181-4

    Spinner Max Holden takes up the attack for Middlesex and Harvey Hosein steers him away into a gap in the off-side field to reach an 80-ball half-century. Nice for him to end the season on a high note.

    Slater 17, Compton 3

    Ben Compton is yet to get off the mark but he's looking solid in defense against Rikki Clarke.

    Morne Morkel is out of the attack for now as Jordan Clark comes in to bowl.

    Slater glances to leg for one.

    Compton is off the mark with a roll of the wrists and a pulled three to leg.

    WICKET Croft c Horton b Klein 44published at 17:07 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Leics 155 v Lancashire 154-8

    What a fabulous catch.

    Dieter Klein tries his luck from round the wicket, Steven Croft edges and Paul Horton takes it one-handed diving to his right at first slip to end a 60-run stand for Lancashire's eighth wicket.

    England newcomer Matt Parkinson is the new man at the crease with the scores almost level.

  14. Derbyshire duo build standpublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Middlesex 260 v Derbyshire 169-4

    The long winter months are beckoning, and Leus du Plooy and Harvey Hosein are making the most of their opportunity to say farewell to summer with some batting practice at Lord's.

    They have added 68 in 20 overs so far, with Hosein 43 not out and du Plooy on 40. Derbyshire trail by 89 with 25 overs left in the day's play, if the light holds. And that may be a big 'if'.

  15. Gloucs 178-6 v Northantspublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Charlesworth 65, Van Buuren 69

    A lovely straight drive down the ground off Rob Keogh brings four more to Van Buuren.

    A cut to point brings one more.

    15 overs left before stumps.

    They'll be in Division One next season - you mark my words."

  17. Gloucs 173-6 v Northantspublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Charlesworth 65, Van Buuren 64

    Four more to Van Buuren - who goes back and across to carve Keogh through point.

    A single off the fifth ball.

    A off Luke Procter at the other end and a draw is looking highly likely.

  18. Lancs pair post 50 standpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Leics 155 v Lancashire 146-7

    It isn't the most elegant stroke, but a boundary by Liam Hurt for Lancashire brings up a 50 partnership with Steven Croft. After being 94-7, the Division two champions are edging towards a first-innings lead.

    Hurt is now 28 not out and Croft has 36.

    WICKET Mullaney lbw b Clarke 21published at 16:51 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Surrey 402-6 dec v Notts 39-1

    Rikki Clarke is gifted a wicket as Steven Mullaney shuffles across his stumps and offers no shot to a ball that nips into him off the seam.

    Two Bens are batting now as Ben Compton joins Ben Slater in the middle.

  20. 6 runs

    Mullaney living dangerouslypublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 25 September 2019

    Surrey 402-6 dec v Notts 38-0

    Runs are flowing at the Oval.

    Mullaney picks up two fours off Rikki Clarke with a glance to fine leg and via a thick outside edge as the ball flies wide of second slip.

    At the other end he hooks Morkel over squre leg for six!
