Not that we want you to head elsewhere and take your eyes off the action here, but just a quick reminder that if you switch on BBC One now, you can watch live coverage of the second T20 international between England and Australia from the Ageas Bowl.

An England win would seal the three-match series for Eoin Morgan's side.

Follow it all on the page below.

James Harris has seemingly recovered from that nasty blow on his arm from his own team-mate Blake Cullen.

A few boundaries off Simon Harmer and Jamie Porter take him to 32 not out and Middlesex past 100 as they keep counter-attacking.

Tom Abell brings the 100 up for Somerset in this winner-takes-all battle in the central group.

Abell has batted with all his class to get to 55, while new man George Bartlett is just starting to find his rhythm.

I make that advantage Somerset but we've still got plenty of time for some more twists and turns in this one.

Play has now resumed in Lancashire's match against Derbyshire with the hosts on 71-3.

Victory for Derbyshire would give them a brilliant chance of winning the north group and qualifying for the final.

Josh Bohannon is on 39 not out with Dane Vilas on five.

Richard Batchelor: With the age of retirement being brought forward all the time, it's good to know Kent will be playing Darren Stevens forever, don't know what we'd do without him :)

Wicket time again for Yorkshire after a bit of a dogged rearguard by Leicestershire.

Essex loanee Rishi Patel departs on his Foxes debut for 19 as Adam Lyth clings on to a chance at second slip off Ben Coad.

Just to remind you, they started a bit later on this first day at The Oval after a late-night T20 Blast fixture there last night.

A 90-minute first session comes to a close with visitors Sussex in a strong position.

Aaron Thomason (40 not out) and Tom Haines (35 not out) guiding Sussex to 81-0 from 24 overs.

No breakthroughs yet for Surrey's bowling attack.

Get one, get two for Darren Stevens and Kent!

Two wickets in the space of three balls for the hosts as Felix Organ is dismissed for a second-ball duck as Stevens traps him leg before.

Very different complexion on this game all of a sudden.

Warwickshire are steadily approaching the 100 mark although they've just lost Dan Mousley who was trapped lbw for 31 by Lukas Carey.

Ian Bell remains at the crease, now joined by Michael Burgess.

Bell is on 42.

Essex v Middlesex 86-7

Ouch indeed!

This is a nasty incident for Middlesex all-rounder James Harris as he takes a sharp blow on his right arm from a ball that struck him after his batting partner Blake Cullen had driven the ball sweetly back at him at the non-striker's end.

Harris wasn't quite able to get out of the way quick enough and went to ground.

But after a short break and some magic spray, he's thankfully back on his feet.

You can't keep Darren Stevens out of the wickets for long.

The Kent stalwart picks up his first of the game as he has Hampshire's Tom Alsop caught at second slip by Heino Kuhn for 8.

Kent after a frustrating start pick up a first bowling point to reduce Hampshire to 99-3.

Worc v Somerset 93-1

A super knock from the Somerset youngster, he brings up his fifty in 90 balls.

The 26-year-old came in at 18-1, but has helped see off the new ball with class and take his side to 93-1.

Visitors in control at New Road.

Gutsy batting from the two Toms, Lammonby and Abell, made that a good morning for Somerset, in a game that both sides probably need to win if they’re to reach the Bob Willis Trophy final at Lord’s.

It must have been a marginal decision for Abell to opt to bat, after winning the toss, on a pitch expected to give plenty of help to the seamers, under cloudy skies.

So far, it has worked out well, but batting has been hard work, and will surely stay that way through the afternoon.

It was a brave decision by Middlesex to bat first after such a short turn around from their T20 match last night, but it hasn’t worked out.

Jamie Porter and Sam Cook have combined to dismantle the visitors top order, Porter in particular looking back to his 2017 best with some devastating late movement.

You have to feel some sympathy for Middlesex who had so little time to recover.

With Simon Harmer making an early breakthrough and having another pitch that suits him Essex will be confident of bowling Middlesex out cheaply. The key to the match, and their potential participation in the final, will be how they respond with the bat.

They need to win and better whatever points total Derbyshire achieve against Lancashire. That will almost certainly be enough to take Essex through.

Middlesex’s hopes though may already be dashed.

And aside from at Aigburth and The Oval - the players are heading back out on the outfield to begin the afternoon session.

And now we do have lunch in Lancashire's game with Derbyshire.

The hosts end the session on 71-3, with Bohannon (39*) and Vilas (5*) making it unscathed to the interval.

Is there a cricketer out there who has a better looking shot than an Ian Bell cover drive?

Would Derbyshire getting to Lord's be the biggest twist of 2020?

What are you having for lunch?
