    Lancashire 172-8 v Leicestershire 86-3

    Liam Livingstone has his wicket, removing Leicestershire's Colin Ackermann who's caught in the deep for 18.

    The Foxes require more than 11 per over now. I can't see it happening.

  2. Postpublished at 1 over

    Middlesex 3-0 v Surrey 223-7

    Stevie Eskinazi pushes on through the circle to start with a single off the first ball of the innings.

    Paul Stirling swings and misses when he's on strike, then Sam Curran ties him up with one into the body.

    The Irishman sweeps one away to get off the mark with a single, and Eskinazi grabs another off the final delivery.

    Three dot balls in the over, and Middlesex are already under a bit of pressure.

    It's on a knife-edge at Old Trafford. Colin Ackermann has 10 not out, Scott Steel is unbeaten on 23.

  4. Middlesex begin chasepublished at 20:43 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Middlesex v Surrey 223-7

    Stevie Eskinazi and Paul Stirling will carry the fight for Middlesex first off.

    The hosts have a decent top order, with England limited-overs skipper Eoin Morgan to come.

    There is a short boundary, and it's a decent pitch. But they'll have to go hard from the start.

    Surrey have a deep and varied bowling attack, and Sam Curran is opening things up for the visitors.

    Jonny Bairstow b Briggs 34 (Yorkshire 69-3)

    The big man!

    Birmingham have another wicket as Jonny Bairstow chops on a routine Danny Briggs delivery.

    So then, 76 needed from 71 balls, you'd say Yorkshire are heavy favourites.

    Although in Bairstow and Dawid Malan they have lost two of their power hitters.

    Lancashire 172-8 v Leicestershire 64-2

    To Old Trafford and two quick wickets from Lancashire have shifted the momentum after a good powerplay for the Foxes.

    First Josh Inglis is bowled by Danny Lamb for 34.

    Then Arron Lilley is removed by spinner Matty Parkinson, caught in the deep for four.

    Leicestershire require 110 from 73.

    Middlesex v Surrey 223-7 (20 overs)

    Middlesex face a monster chase at Lord's after Surrey post 223-7 from their 20 overs.

    Will Jacks got the visitors off to a blistering start, scoring 70 runs off 24 balls before he was run out.

    Nathan Sowter (3-40) and Steven Finn helped pull Middlesex back into the contest, but Surrey continued to pile on the runs.

    Two late no-balls from Blake Cullen went for six in the penultimate over, which gifted the south Londoners some late runs.

    T Curran st Simpson b Sowter 25 (Middlesex v Surrey 221-7)

    Tom Curran goes late on for a very useful 25 off 10 balls.

    Smart work from John Simpson catches the Surrey man out of his crease while looking to attack in the last over.

  9. Postpublished at 19 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 216-6

    Ethan Bamber fares slightly better, but Tom Curran cracks one to the boundary.

    Then there's a dot ball as Curran moves to the leg side, swings and misses.

    Jamie Smith survives a run-out attempt, but Surrey get two.

    In the end, there are 28 runs off the over after those two no-ball sixes off Blake Cullen.

    To add insult to injury, Middlesex now have one man fewer outside the circle as they've missed their cut-off to bowl their 20 overs.

  10. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 20:31 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Dawid Malan c Lintott b Bresnan 23 (Yorkshire 64-2)

    Brummy breakthrough!

    Dawid Malan goes, caught by Jake Lintott at mid-wicket off the bowling of former Viking Tim Bresnan for 23.

    13 overs remain.

    Yorkshire 57-1 v Birmingham 144-8

    The 50 comes up for Yorkshire with England's Jonny Bairstow on 22 not out and Dawid Malan unbeaten on 23.

    The Vikings require a further 88 from 84. Cruising.

    Middlesex v Surrey 206-6

    Big over for Middlesex, and Blake Cullen sadly can't deal with the pressure.

    He bowls a loose full toss above waist height, which Tom Curran diverts all the way to the boundary for six. It's also a no-ball.

    Cullen then bowls another no-ball over waist height which Curran again manages to hit for six.

    After two no-balls over the waist, Cullen is not allowed to continue the over. Ethan Bamber will take it on.

    Clark c Eskinazi b Finn 7 (Middlesex v Surrey 188-6)

    Steven Finn grabs another wicket with his final ball of the over, as Jordan Clark edges to Stevie Eskinazi.

    Surrey's progress has been checked in the past few overs.

    Glamorgan 175-9 v Gloucestershire 179-6

    Gloucestershire hold on but fair play to Australian Marnus Labuschagne whose brilliant batting made a game of it.

    He struck a four and a six from the last two deliveries to finish on 93 not out off 56.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17.1 overs

    Overton c Morgan b Finn 27 (Middlesex v Surrey 180-5)

    Will this stall the Surrey momentum late on?

    Steven Finn returns for his final over and Jamie Overton doesn't get a great connection on the first ball.

    Eoin Morgan runs round to take the catch at cover.

    Tom Curran is the next man in for the visitors, who have two new batsmen at the crease.

    Middlesex v Surrey 180-4

    Jordan Clark has joined Jamie Overton in the middle.

    He faces the final ball of the over, and is beaten outside off.

    John Simpson tries to claim a stumping, but Clark was well inside his crease.

    Overton has moved on to 27 runs from 12 balls.

    Glamorgan 161-9 v Gloucestershire 179-6

    S Curran c Holden b Green 21 (Middlesex v Surrey 175-4)

    Chris Green picks up a wicket in his final over.

    Sam Curran toe-ends one to Max Holden at deep mid-wicket.

    Surrey still have plenty of wickets in hand to play with in the closing overs.
