    Surrey v Kent 10-0

    Kent are one of half a dozen sides still in with a realistic chance of going through to the final.

    Surrey... well, they've lost all three games and have the fewest points of any of the 18 counties.

    Sam Curran returns from England duty for the hosts at The Oval, but Jason Roy sits out.

    Kent openers Daniel Bell-Drummond and Jordan Cox have seen out the opening few overs from Curran and Matt Dunn.

    Byrom b Payne 0 (Somerset 4-1 v Gloucestershire)

    Somerset's top order have struggled so far this season and they've been sent in by the Glosters for the first first-class Cider Derby since 2007.

    Early strike for the visitors, David Payne in his second over clipping Eddie Byrom's off stump. A real beauty that shaped away.

    Dickson lbw b Conners 0 (Durham 7-1 v Derbys)

    Early wicket for North Group leaders Derbyshire!

    Seamer Sam Conners smacks Durham opener Sean Dickson on the pad and he's sent on his way.

    They've flicked the coin at Headingley, Steven Patterson has called correctly and Yorkshire will have a bat.

    The Roses match gets under way at 11:30 BST.

    Durham 0-0 v Derbyshire

    Perhaps the surprise package of the tournament so far have been Derbyshire, who top the North Group after winning two of their three matches.

    Another win against bottom side Durham at Chester-le-Street and they could well have one foot in the Lord's final.

    Alex Lees and Sean Dickson are opening for the hosts, Sam Conners has the new cherry for the visitors.

  6. Two delays, seven startspublished at 11:00 British Summer Time 22 August 2020

    Bob Willis Trophy - day one

    So, there will be delayed starts between Yorkshire and Lancashire and Hampshire and Essex.

    Thankfully the rain has cleared from Headingley and they're hoping to get under way at 11:30 BST with a toss at 11:00.

    The news isn't quite as encouraging at Arundel where there's a bit of rain in the air still and they'll have an inspection at 11:30.

    All of the seven other games are about to start though...

    Bob Willis Trophy - day one

    Just one point separates leaders Worcestershire and second-placed Somerset.

    Worcestershire beat Northants last time out, while Somerset were cheated by the Edgbaston rain needing just a couple more Warwickshire wickets for a big victory.
