  1. Postpublished at 9 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 101-1

    Laurie Evans is the next man in for Surrey, who have a powerful batting line-up.

    He grabs a couple of singles to help the visitors bring up their century.

    They may have lost Will Jacks but are still well placed, with England international Jason Roy yet to really get going himself.

    Lancashire 140-7 v Leicestershire

    Finn Allen may be left stranded on 47 not out though the way the wickets are falling at Old Trafford.

    Leicestershire have another as Lancashire's Danny Lamb is bowled for two by Afghanistan's Naveen-ul-Haq Murid.

  3. 50 runs

    And there is the milestone off 33 deliveries.

    He brings it up with a no-nonsense single. Four overs remain at Headingley.

    Yorkshire v Birmingham 117-6

    Five overs to go in Yorkshire and Birmingham's Sam Hain is incredibly on 49 not out.

    I say incredibly as I swear he was still in his thirties last time I checked. The Hong Kong-born batter has only hit five boundaries so far. He's scoring in twos!

    Jacks run out (Green) 70 (Middlesex v Surrey 95-1)

    Great fielding from Middlesex brings Will Jacks' incredible innings to an end.

    It's quick work from Paul Stirling to get the ball back in from Jason Roy's reverse sweep.

    Both batsmen are looking at the ball and there's a mix-up between them.

    Chris Green finishes the run-out off, and Jacks is left to think about what might have been.

    His score of 70 - off just 24 balls - is his best in T20 cricket.

    Middlesex v Surrey 94-0

    Will Jacks tees off again. He's seeing it like a beach ball.

    He pulls Steven Finn square for six.

    It's the long boundary, but the fielder out there didn't have a chance of getting there.

    Another short delivery is punished by Jacks, who swats away to the leg side for another six - his sixth of the match.

    Jacks has an incredible 69 off just 23 balls. A strike rate of 300...

    Lancashire 131-6 v Leicestershire

    And now Griffiths has his four-for.

    Luke Wood didn't last long, caught for a two-ball duck.

    4-12 for the 27-year-old. They're career-best figures in the T20 Blast.

    He'll have one more over to try and hunt down a maiden T20 five-for.

  8. Postpublished at 19:34 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Lancashire 130-5 v Leicestershire

    Gone!

    Gavin Griffiths has his third wicket of the match as Steven Croft is caught in the deep.

    He falls for 21. New batsman Luke Wood joins Finn Allen who is unbeaten on 44.

  9. Postpublished at 7 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 78-0

    The spin of Chris Green takes a bit of momentum out of the Surrey charge.

    He's picking his spot outside of the off stump, and managing to hit it well.

    Will Jacks looks a bit frustrated as he is beaten by the final two deliveries of the over.

  10. Postpublished at 19:31 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Yorkshire v Birmingham 96-6

    Another Birmingham dismissal, this time Michael Burgess is caught and bowled by Jordan Thompson, falling for four off 12 deliveries.

    Former Yorkshire man Tim Bresnan is next in. Seven overs remain.

  11. Postpublished at 6 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 76-0

    Jacks finishes off the powerplay with a four down the ground.

    Surrey are in a commanding position. Middlesex really have to break this partnership.

    Jason Roy can be a damaging batsman too, but only has 17 runs off 19 deliveries so far.

  12. 50 runs

    for Will Jackspublished at 19:28 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Middlesex v Surrey 68-0

    Now Steven Finn comes into the attack.

    The former England man starts with a couple of dot balls, but then Jason Roy ekes out a single.

    That puts Will Jacks on strike and he brings up his half-century as he gets the ball down to the deep fine leg boundary.

    He's scored 51 off 15 balls. It's the Will Jacks show at Lord's tonight!

  13. Postpublished at 5 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 67-0

    Middlesex turn to Chris Green to try and halt Surrey's flow of runs.

    Jason Roy carries on the fast start with a four off the first ball, but the Australian spinner responds well with three dot balls.

    Roy digs one out to long on for a single.

    Then Will Jacks finishes the over off with another fine shot through point which races to the boundary.

    He's three runs from his half-century now. It's been a fruitful powerplay so far for Surrey.

  14. Postpublished at 19:25 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Glamorgan 41-3 v Gloucestershire 179-6

    Two more wickets in as many overs for Gloucestershire.

    First Nick Selman chips a routine Ryan Higgins delivery to Chris Dent. Then, new man Colin Ingram is clean-bowled by Josh Shaw.

    Glamorgan require 139 runs from 87 balls.

  15. Postpublished at 19:23 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Lancashire 110-4 v Leicestershire

    Another one bites the dust.

    Lancashire's Dane Villas reverse sweeps Colin Ackerman but is caught on the boundary rope.

    That's 2-12 from Ackermann so far. Good bowling change.

    Steven Croft joins Finn Allen (41 not out) at the crease.

    Will Jacks is flying.

    He keeps finding the space in the field, scoring back-to-back fours, beating fielder Luke Hollman with carbon-copy shots from subsequent delivery.

    The 50 is up for Surrey, and they're motoring along nicely. It's been a tough start for Middlesex's young openers.

    Jacks then smashes a huge six off the final ball of the innings, making space before launching the ball over cover off his back foot.

    That one bounced off the roof of the grandstand.

    He's got 43 runs from 13 balls now...

  17. Postpublished at 19:18 British Summer Time 10 June 2021

    Glamorgan 37-1 v Gloucestershire 179-6

    And a first wicket for Gloucestershire as opener David Lloyd is bowled for 28 off Josh Shaw.

    Glamorgan number three Marnus Labuschagne walks out to the crease.

    143 runs needed from 96 balls.

    Big over for Surrey as Will Jacks. turns on the style

    First he flicks a straight delivery from Ethan Bamber into the stands on the leg side for six. That was effortless!

    Bamber responds well with a good delivery which almost catches out the batsman.

    Jacks goes away and top edges the next ball, and there are shouts of 'catch' from Simpson, but it carries all the way to the boundary for six.

    Then he lifts the final ball of the over down to long off for four.

    Jacks has 29 runs from 10 balls.

    Carlos Brathwaite c & b Thompson 3 (Birmingham 73-5)

    Another international falls.

    A leading edge sees the ball loop back to bowler Jordan Thompson as West Indian Carlos Brathwaite walks for three on his Birmingham debut.

    Not great from the Bears who are scoring freely, but regularly losing wickets. 9.3 overs gone so far.

  20. Postpublished at 2 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 24-0

    Blake Cullen is also making his T20 debut for Middlesex.

    The 19-year-old's shirt number matches his age.

    After a single for Jason Roy, a wide and a leg bye, there's another genuine edge which goes to the boundary

    Roy is the beneficiary this time.

    The visitors finish the over with three singles.

    The runs are coming quickly for Surrey at the moment.
