Abell in a 'lovely rhythm'published at 14:34 British Summer Time 12 September 2021
Somerset v Lancashire 233-5
Scott Read
BBC Radio Lancashire commentatorEither the increased cloud cover or the changing of the ball, or maybe a combination of the two, but batting has certainly looked more tricky this afternoon.
Tom Abell has hit a lovely rhythm, just getting the ball to move away enough to cause the batsman problems. He's going at eight an over but has produced two belting deliveries to dismiss Luke Wells and Rob Jones.

Much more like it for Somerset as Steven Croft joins Dane Vilas (nine) at the crease.

Burgess c Bess b Coad 66
It's one shot too many as Michael Burgess pulls Ben Coad to Dom Bess at deep midwicket.
He's made the score slightly more respectable for Warwickshire who are all out inside 43 overs.

Yorkshire v Warwickshire 155-9
Michael Burgess is rightly hogging the strike and going big for Warwickshire.
He smashes Ben Coad for a maximum to move on to 66 not out.

Bohannon c Leonard b Abell 50 (Somerset v Lancashire 195-4)
Fifty and out.
Frustrating for Josh Bohannon who hits two fours to get to his 50 from 117 balls, only to get out the very next delivery.
It's a second wicket for first-class debutant Ned Leonard who has Bohannon caught at fly-gully.

for Michael Burgesspublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 12 September 2021
Yorkshire v Warwickshire 135-9
A 77-ball 50 for Michael Burgess who's done brilliantly while others have fallen around him.
He's proving to his teammates that there are runs on offer on this pitch. Yorkshire's batsmen won't mind this watching on.

Wells c Hildreth b Abell 103 (Somerset v Lancashire 182-3)
100 and out.
Great ball from Somerset skipper Tom Abell who has Luke Wells feathering one to first slip.
Frustrating for Wells, he departs to a fantastic reception from the home crowd.

The very next ball Luke Wells brings up his first 100 of the summer, his 20th in first-class cricket.
A brilliant knock from 112 balls. Now can he push on a get a really big total on a flat pitch?

And another one gone.
Craig Miles departs without scoring, edging to keeper Harry Duke who dives well, low down to his right.
One to go now.

Surrey v Essex 117-1
Image source, Rex FeaturesFour runs off James Taylor saw Sir Alastair Cook reach a 119-ball fifty at the Kia Oval. The former England captain has just added another boundary off Reece Topley to advance to 55 not out and his stand with Tom Westley is now worth 88.

Bethell c Duke b Patterson 15 (Yorkshire v Warwickshire 133-8)
Warwickshire's latest resistance is broken as Yorkshire nab their first wicket after lunch.
It's dismissal number four for Steven Paterson, who has Bears youngster Jacob Bethell edging to keeper Harry Duke.
Michael Burgess looks on, very quiet on 48 not out.

Somerset v Lancashire 163-2
New balls please.
Somerset captain Tom Abell isn't happy with the old ball, after 40 overs it looks like it's gone soft.
The umpires agree.
Now, will this change things, a bit of swing perhaps?

Vince c Hameed b Hutton 30 (Hampshire 87-4 v Notts)
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Brett Hutton finds the edge at the start of a new over, but that's four more slightly fortuitous runs to James Vince.
Notts put a third slip in and another edge by Vince brings him another boundary as the ball flies just wide of a diving Haseeb Hameed.
Vince attempts to drive the next one and this time Hameed grabs a sharp catch above his head to send the Hampshire skipper on his way.
It's that old Vince Achilles heel again.
