Glamorgan 144-9 v Gloucestershire 179-6
Three more Glamorgan wickets as Andrew Salter is run out for nought, Ruaidhri Smith is then bowled for a duck by Benny Howell two balls later and Howell rounds off a perfect over as Timm van der Gugten is caught for two.
Glamorgan need 36 from their final two overs. Marnus Labuschagne (66 not out) is going to have to do this all by himself I reckon.

Middlesex v Surrey 173-3
Steve Finn comes back into the Middlesex attack, and manages to restrict the runs to start with.
Surrey grab a couple of singles from the first four balls.
But Jamie Overton then cracks a shorter delivery away to the boundary for four.
He doesn't get hold of the next one properly as he looks to slog the final delivery of the over, but it drops short of Chris Green in the field.

Yorkshire 11-1 v Birmingham 144-8
Yorkshire's Adam Lyth is out in the first over, caught by Miles at cover off the bowling of Danny Briggs.
Just what Birmingham needed. England pair Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow are both at the crease for the Vikings.
Postpublished at 20:08 British Summer Time 10 June 2021
Both Yorkshire and Leicestershire have started their chases.
The White Rose county need 145 to beat Birmingham Bears where Jonny Bairstow is opening for Yorkshire.
The Foxes require 173 to defeat Lancashire.

Middlesex v Surrey 165-3
More shouts of 'catch it' from Middlesex wicketkeeper John Simpson, as Jamie Overton takes on Nathan Sowter.
It's a big hit which eventually clears the boundary at long off.
Sam Curran then cracks a drive through the covers off his back foot, beating the dives of two desperate fielders.
The runs continue to come. The hosts look like they'll have a fairly big chase on their hands.

Glamorgan 135-6 v Gloucestershire 179-6
Two wickets in two overs for Gloucestershire!
First Benny Howell removes Kiran Carlson for 14, then Ryan Higgins pins new man Dan Douthwaite for a golden duck.
Labuschagne may still be in on 59 not out for the hosts. But this is going to be a tough chase to get over the line.
45 runs needed off 21 balls.

Middlesex v Surrey 150-3
Jamie Overton has made his way into the middle to join Sam Curran.
There's some aggressive running between the pair, grabbing quick twos off the first two balls of Paul Stirling's second over of the game.
Overton then hits a sweep hard and flat to just in front of square for four.
Surrey are keeping the scoreboard ticking over after losing a couple of quick wickets, taking 12 runs from the over to bring up the 150.

Glamorgan 121-4 v Gloucestershire 179-6
Fantastic stuff from Australian Marnus Labuschagne who brings up his half-century from 36 balls on his T20 debut for Glamorgan.
The Welsh county need 57 more to win off the final five overs.

Roy b Sowter 45 (Middlesex v Surrey 136-3)
Image source, Rex FeaturesJason Roy does look to accelerate his scoring, and comes unstuck.
He takes on the first ball of the over from Nathan Sowter, dispatching a huge six into the grandstand on the leg side.
After being beaten by one outside leg, and then grabbing a two, Sowter's spin confounds the England man and removes the bails.
Roy is frustrated with himself, missing out on his half-century.
Yorkshire need 145 to winpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 10 June 2021
BreakingYorkshire v Birmingham Bears 144-8
Whereas it's a strong final six balls from David Willey, just four from it plus a bonus wicket of Sam Hain who falls for 59.
Advantage Yorkshire I'd say at the halfway stage.
Leicestershire need 173 to winpublished at 19:56 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

Twelve from the final over. A strong total from Lancashire with Finn Allen top-scoring with 73 off 51 balls.

Middlesex v Surrey 128-2
It's almost one of Middlesex's best overs of the game, in terms of the run-rate.
Jason Roy grabs a single, before two dot balls pin Sam Curran in his crease.
Curran then tries to attack, with a two and then a single.
Then it all goes wrong for Paul Stirling, as one goes down the leg side and rolls all the way to the boundary.
Jason Roy finishes off with another single to retain the strike. When will the England man enter full attack mode?

Yorkshire v Birmingham 140-6
And there's also one over to go at Headingley.
Craig Miles (one) and Sam Hain (59) are at the crease for Birmingham after Tim Bresnan fell for 23 in the 18th over.

Lancashrie 160-8 v Leicestershire
One over remains at Old Trafford.
Finn Allen (66 not out) will be on strike for Lancashire.
He's joined in the middle by Tom Hartley after Tom Bailey was run out for three.

Middlesex v Surrey 118-2
Jason Roy grabs a four with a wristy shot to the boundary at deep square leg.
He retains the strike from the last ball, and has a run-a-ball 35.
Ireland international Paul Stirling is into the Middlesex attack next with his off-spin.

Glamorgan 100-4 v Gloucestershire 179-6
And a much-needed wicket for Gloucestershire as Chris Cooke is caught for 26 off the bowling of Tom Smith.
Glamorgan need 80 off 42. Marnus Labuschagne is on 40 not out. New man Kiran Carlson is yet to score.

Evans c Hollman b Sowter 5 (Middlesex v Surrey 110-2)
A great start for Nathan Sowter, and another breakthrough for Middlesex.
Laurie Evans is tempted to take on the spinner to the short boundary, which is on the right-hander's leg side.
He doesn't get enough on his shot and sends the ball straight down the throat of Luke Hollman at long on.
Sam Curran is the next man in for Surrey.
Postpublished at 10 overs
Middlesex v Surrey 110-1
Spinner Luke Hollman is thrown the ball.
He can't really slow the scoring, as Jason Roy uses the pace on the ball to get a four and then Surrey milk a few singles.
There's a short boundary on one side, and the visitors are well set for a big total.
Nathan Sowter is next up for Middlesex.

Lancashire 145-7 v Leicestershire
A cheeky two and Allen reaches his 50 off 40 balls with five fours.
That's the New Zealander's first half-century for Lancashire in the T20 Blast.
17.3 overs gone.
