Gubbins c Jacks b Clarke 192 (Middlesex 342-5 v Surrey)
Nick Gubbins finally departs for Middlesex against Surrey just shy of what would've been a brilliant double hundred.
He very unselfishly puts his personal landmark to one side as he tries to get his team to 350 and an extra batting point in the last over before the cut off.
Will Jacks takes a catch at point off Rikki Clarke as Gubbins tried to find the boundary.
Nineteen fours and a six in that 315-ball knock from Gubbins.
50 for John Simpsonpublished at 12:23 British Summer Time 2 August 2020

Tim Bresnan has been struck by the ball on his first-class Warwickshire debut but has recovered from a painful-looking blow to hang in there at the crease.
The England bowler has 16 off 42 balls, with opener Rob Yates still there on 73.
The Bears are now 167-5 and will hope this partnership gives them a handy lead over Northants.

Martin Emmerson
BBC Newcastle at Emirates, Chester-le-Street
I don't believe in the curse of the commentator, but the moment I hit send on my last update Durham brought Chris Rushworth into the attack and there was an instant dividend.
Dawid Malan edged him behind when on 30 and Ned Eckersley took an excellent diving catch to see him off. He added 52 with Harry Brook.

Pressure on Du Plooy in Derbyshire replypublished at 11:43 British Summer Time 2 August 2020

Dave Bracegirdle
BBC Radio Nottingham commentator
Three wickets for Jake Ball this morning as Nottinghamshire take an early bowling point. Billy Godleman and Luis Reece both nicked the former England paceman behind and a loose drive from Wayne Madsen flew to point.
With their lower order packed with youthful inexperience, Derbyshire need a contribution from Leus du Plooy, who has started brightly, if they are to made serious inroads towards the hosts’ all out total of 324.
Somerset bag anotherpublished at 11:42 British Summer Time 2 August 2020
Somerset (296) lead Glamorgan (33-3) by 263 runs

Two early wickets for Somerset now at the start of Glamorgan's reply.
Nick Selman makes an error in judgement against Josh Davey as he offers no shot and one nips back outside off to strike him on the pad.
Up goes the finger pretty sharpish.
