  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Banton b Murtagh 0 (Somerset 0-1, target 207 v Middlesex)

    Wow.

    Somerset opener Tom Banton is bowled first ball by Middlesex seamer Tim Murtagh.

    Disastrous start to their pursuit of 207. Joy for Middlesex.

  10. 'Overton led the attack superbly'published at 17:36 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Somerset 268 v Middlesex 357 &117

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Somerset

    Somerset will need 207 for another coming from behind win over Middlesex, as the visitors were bowled out in less than a session and a half for a dismal 117.

    Craig Overton yet again led the Somerset attack quite superbly, to take 5-34, although Josh Davey was almost equally impressive with his 3-28.

    On a wearing pitch offering occasional steep bounce the outcome is probably even money.

  11. wicket

    Two in two for Gloucestershirepublished at 17:33 British Summer Time 1 May 2021

    Leicestershire 421 dec & 77-3 v Gloucestershire 275

    Finally some joy for the hosts as Josh Shaw finishes his over by removing Marcus Harris before Ryan Higgins has Hassan Azad caught behind off the very next ball.

    A glimmer of hope for Gloucestershire. You never know with this sport. Leicestershire currently lead by 223.

    They've won it now though!

    Lewis McManus reaches his 50 and then goes playing a nothing shot, caught behind by Ben Foakes off the bowling of Kemar Roach.

    Career-best figures for Roach. An incredible 8-40 for the West Indies paceman.

    Somerset skipper Tom Abell finishes the Middlesex second innings by bowling last man Tim Murtagh and his side have a very achievable target.

    A no thrills over from Jamie Overton. Right then, Kemar Roach is bowling at McManus.

    Worcs 243-4 v Essex 561-8 dec

    Sam Cook has made the breakthrough for Essex, removing Tom Fell, caught behind, for 53.

    Superbly set up at Taunton.
