    WICKETpublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Sanderson lbw b Brooks 0 (Northants 153-8, target 322)

    Gone first ball!

    Jack Brooks thumps Ben Sanderson on the pad, up goes the finger.

    It's the end of the over, so we'll have to wait for the hat-trick ball.

  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Berg c Hildreth b Brooks 0 (Northants 153-7, target 322)

    Seven down!

    Gareth Berg snicks Jack Brooks to slip where James Hildreth takes a fine low catch.

  3. Postpublished at 17:27 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Middlesex 252 v Hants 261-6

    Hampshire have lost Ian Holland for 22 at Radlett but they've moved into the lead.

    Liam Dawson is leading the way on 43.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:27 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Patel c Brook b Malan 38 (Nottinghamshire 286-7 v Yorks 264)

    Dawid Malan has a wicket for Yorkshire!

    In just his second over, he's got Samit Patel.

    The Notts man is fooled by Malan's leg-spin and dabs one to Harry Brook at short-leg.

    That ends the 99-run stand.

  5. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Lamb c Dent b Higgins 65 (Gloucestershire 210 v Warks 190-6)

    Big wicket at Bristol.

    Ryan Higgins takes his second scalp of the day as Matthew Lamb edges to slip.

    The Bears trail by 20 after Lamb's well-crafted innings.

  6. wicket

    A second in the over...

    Adam Rossington is pinned lbw by Jamie Overton for nought.

    This could well be over tonight now. Northants still need 174, Somerset require four wickets.

  7. 50 runs

    for Tom Moorespublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Nottinghamshire 286-7 v Yorks 264

    A first fifty of the campaign for Tom Moores, coming off 99 balls.

    Notts lead by 23. Moores' partnership with Samit Patel has also just reached 99.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Thurston c Davies b J Overton 34 (Northants 148-5, target 322)

    Such an unlucky way to go.

    Charlie Thurston glances Jamie Overton down the leg-side and Steven Davies clings on.

    Five wickets to go for Somerset.

  9. Postpublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Nottinghamshire 283-6 v Yorks 264

    Dawid Malan has just bowled his first over in a Yorkshire shirt.

    The visitors are trying everything to break this partnership.

    Malan, who has a first-class best of 5-61, goes for four from his first six deliveries.

  10. 150 runs

    for Jordan Coxpublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Kent's teenage opener had a first-class best of just 29 before today - he's now brought up his 150 and Kent's 300.

    221 balls with 21 fours and two sixes. A mammoth effort from the 19-year-old.

  11. 50 runs

    for Hoseinpublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Leicestershire 199 v Derbys 369-7

    Harvey Hosein brings up his half-century in 67 balls.

    A great display of counter-attacking cricket from the 23-year-old.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Bohannon b Salisbury 75 (Durham 180 v Lancs 241-7)

    Josh Bohannon goes for 75 as Matthew Salisbury gets one to move away & hit off stump

    Great innings from Lancashire's number three.

    The visitors lead Durham by 61 runs.

  13. 50 runs

    for Kiran Carlsonpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Worcestershire 455-8 v Glamorgan 151-2

    Half-century for the Glamorgan number three. Batting continues to look very pleasant in the New Road sunshine.

  14. Five-wicket haulpublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Essex 262 v Surrey 169-9

    And those three guys will have just seen Simon Harmer pick up his fifth wicket.

    The spinner gets Adam Finch to claim his 35th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.

  15. Postpublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Essex 262 v Surrey 167-8

    Spectators are of course not allowed inside grounds at the moment... but this looks like a nice way to spend the afternoon watching Essex against Surrey.

    What are they sitting on though at the end of the garden? Shed roof? Hmm.

  16. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 17:05 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Nottinghamshire 269-6 v Yorks 264

    Incredible!

    Nottinghamshire take the lead as Tom Moores reverse sweeps Adam Lyth for six.

    The seventh-wicket partnership between Samit Patel (35*) and Moores (39*) is now worth 82.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Dal lbw b Klein 25 (Leicestershire 199 v Derbys 350-7)

    Anuj Dal falls lbw to Dieter Klein.

    Three more quick wickets and the Foxes could save this game.

  18. Postpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Leicestershire 199 v Derbys 350-6

    Derbyshire's lead has now stretched beyond 150.

    Harvey Hosein and Anuj Dal are playing beautifully with Hosein on 36 and Dal on 25.

    The visitors still have 25 overs left of their innings - remember teams are capped at 120 in the Bob Willis Trophy - so they'll want a lead of around 220.

  19. Postpublished at 16:52

    Northants 121-4 (target 322) v Somerset

    Northants are not going to make this easy for Somerset.

    Just the one wicket since tea and Luke Procter is beginning to settle in with Charlie Thurston, although Somerset's bowlers still look dangerous.

    Just the small matter of 201 more runs needed.

  20. Postpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 9 August 2020

    Nottinghmshire 253-6 v Yorkshire 264

    Notts have gone beyond 250 and now trail by just 11 runs.

    Samit Patel and Tom Moores both have 29 and have added an unbroken 66.

    Dominic Leech and Steven Patterson are desperately searching for a breakthrough.
