Salt c Cullen b Andersson 42 (Middlesex v Sussex 56-1)
One too many shots from Phil Salt.
After biffing a couple of sixes to move into the 40s, the Sussex opener skies Martin Andersson to deep backward square leg.

Bedingham c&b Aitchison 9 (Durham 32-3 v Derbys)
This is now turning into an excellent morning for Derbyshire!

Durham 32-2 v Derbyshire
Opener Alex Lees and David Bedingham have settled things down a little for Durham after losing two early wickets.

Northamptonshire v Glamorgan 33-1
Joe Cooke never seemed to settle on his Glamorgan debut. Dropped at slip first ball, then two boundaries via edges. He eventually fell over to the off side and was lbw to Jack White.
Northamptonshire have an entirely new slips cordon for this match with so many changes - including Ricardo Vasconcelos keeping with Adam Rossington rested after a bang on the hand last week.
A second chance goes down as Kiran Carlson is shelled second ball at first slip.

Middlesex v Sussex 34-0
Sussex can't qualify for the final, but they're off to a decent start against Middlesex.
Phil Salt is up to 21 and Tom Haines has 11.

Worcs v Warwickshire 31-1
Will Rhodes has a very pleasant, calm way about him at the crease and he's flicked Charlie Morris and Joe Leach through the leg side for boundaries.
Three 40s but nothing substantial for the left-handed Rhodes so far this season.
He'll hope to put that right and close in on 3,000 first-class runs in these remaining two matches.

Dearden c Patel b Trego 7 (Leics 15-2 v Notts)
Harry Dearden clips Peter Trego straight to Samit Patel at mid-wicket and is on his way cheaply.
That's two wickets now for the veteran all-rounder.

Rain threatening most parts of the UK today and some has arrived to Taunton.

Northamptonshire v Glamorgan 26-0
Neither of these sides were too keen to play first-class cricket this summer and it's rather shown in their results - both have tried to use the competition to bring through some new players.
As such, Northamptonshire have made five changes with their focus on the T20 Blast. Brett Hutton makes his seasonal reappearance and Simon Kerrigan returns to first-class cricket for the first time since 2017 having recently signed a two-year deal.
Glamorgan have made three changes as after holding on by the skin of their teeth to deny Gloucestershire last week including two fresh faces.
Newport-born Callum Taylor makes his first-class debut having played four T20s for the county last season.
And Joe Cooke, who developed through the Hertfordshire age groups, make his county debut after playing four first-class games for Durham MCCU.
Cooke should have gone first ball but was dropped at third slip.

Yorkshire 8-0 v Lancashire
Yep, the rain that was lurking has arrived at Headingley and off they go.
Only time for 2.1 overs. So frustrating.
North Group latestpublished at 11:40 British Summer Time 22 August 2020
Notts all-rounder Peter Trego has just picked up the first wicket of the morning against Leicestershire at Grace Road - Sam Evans is gone for a painstaking four and the Foxes are 7-1.
Durham are 18-2 against Derbyshire and Yorkshire have just started batting against Lancashire after the start was delayed by 30 minutes.
South Group latestpublished at 11:38 British Summer Time 22 August 2020
Kent have just lost their first wicket at Surrey, Matt Dunn getting Jordan Cox lbw for eight. Kent are 17-1.
At Radlett, it's a watchful start for Sussex's openers against Middlesex. They're 12-0 off nine overs.
Sadly it's still raining at Arundel and so we still wait for any news of a toss between Hampshire and group leaders Essex.

Yorkshire 0-0 v Lancashire
Adam Lyth and Tom Kohler-Cadmore open up for Yorkshire and Tom Bailey has the new ball for the Red Rose.
There are a few storm clouds lurking around Heaingley... I'm not sure how long they'll be on for here.

Jones lbw b Reece 2 (Durham 14-2 v Derbyshire)
This is turning into a terrific start for North Group leaders Derbyshire.
Left-arm seamer Luis Reece picks up the second wicket of the morning, pinning Michael Jones lbw with a lovely inswinger.
Durham are 14-2 and struggling again with the bat.

Yates c Wessels b Morris 2 (Worcs v Warwickshire 13-1)
Charlie Morris back in the Worcestershire side and he's struck with a decent length ball that forces Rob Yates to play at edge to first slip.
Fifth single-figure score on the trot for 20-year-old Yates now.

Warwickshire 13-0 v Worcs
Also a derby at New Road where there's more than just West Midlands bragging rights on offer for Worcestershire.
A third win will see them stay in the hunt for a place in the final.
They've made one change from the side who won at Northamptonshire last week - Charlie Morris replaces Dillon Pennington.
Warwickshire have picked local lad Dan Mousley, just 19, for his second first-class match.
