  1. Postpublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Leicestershire 148-6 v Derbyshire 209-6

    What a shame. Luis Reece sends down a full toss but Rishi Patel - on 35 - doesn't get enough on it and Leus du Plooy barely has to move at long-off before accepting a regulation boundary catch.

  2. Worcestershire take two more wicketspublished at 21:03 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Northants 52-4 v Worcestershire 185-7

    Charlie Morris strikes again for Worcestershire as he removes Josh Cobb for 29, caught by new signing Ish Sodhi.

    Then spinner Sodhi gets in on the act with the first ball of the next over, bowling Adam Rossington for 22.

    Home hopes may now rest in the hands of Worcester old boy Wayne Parnell, who is now joined by Rob Keogh

  3. Postpublished at 21:01 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Leicestershire 145-5 v Derbyshire 209-6

    Another productive over for the Foxes - 17 from it. There are two fours and Ben Mike also clears the rope at long-off from the bowling of Alex Hughes. Five more to come - 65 needed.

    Laurie Evans b de Lange 65 (Surrey 167-3)

    The 104-run partnership is broken!

    Laurie Evans' superb innings comes to a close as he goes for 65.

    I can't see anything but a Surrey win though, as Jamie Smith joins Sam Curran (54 not out) in the middle with 21 needed from six overs.

  5. Postpublished at 20:58 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Kent 178-8 v Middlesex 33-2

    Eoin Morgan is still there in Canterbury, but for now, he is being held in check by the Kent attack. Just one boundary in his 18 off 20 balls so far and Middlesex can't wait much longer before going for some big shots.

  6. wicket

    Tom Moores holes out for 38published at 20:58 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Notts 150-6 v Bears 229-5

    Carlos Brathwaite takes a second wicket as Tom Moores skies to Tim Bresnan at third man for 38 - off 21 balls.

    Good effort from Notts in the shadow of a huge Bears score but they look to be falling short.

    79 now needed off six as Calvin Harrison comes in to join Samit Patel

    If Notts somehow rescue this, it will be very entertaining.

  7. 6 runs

    Leicestershire 128-5 v Derbyshire 209-6

    Surely the Foxes have left themselves too much to do? Well, maybe not as Rishi Patel drives a Matt Critchley full toss for four and then pummels a short ball away over mid-wicket for a maximum. He'll need to keep on doing that as they need 82 from the last six overs.

  8. 50 runs

    for Phil Saltpublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Gloucestershire 177-7 v Sussex 119-4

    With a four, Phil Salt brings up his 50 off 32 deliveries.

    Alongside George Garton (40 not out) Salt's dragged Sussex into this fixture. The Sharks need 59 more from 50 balls.

  9. Worcestershire take second wicketpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Northants 42-2 v Worcestershire 185-7

    Northants have not made the best riposte so far at Wantage Road.

    After the early first-ball loss of Richard Levi, Ricardo Vasconcelos has also gone cheaply, holing out to Ross Whiteley off Charlie Morris for a single.

    Captain Josh Cobb has come in to join Adam Rossington - and has started well to help his side to 42-2 after five overs..

  10. 50 runs

    for Sam Curranpublished at 20:53 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Somerset 187-6 v Surrey 159-2

    Reaches it with a six. Was he ever going to do it any other way?

    Curran brings up his milestone with his eighth boundary (four of them sixes) off 25 balls.

    He has now shared a 97-run partnership with Laurie Evans (60 not out).

  11. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Somerset 187-6 v Surrey 148-2

    A huuuuuge six from Sam Curran and the all-rounder moves on to 45 not out.

    Just 40 needed from 48. Surrey are going at 12.5 per over.

    Skipper gets out opposing skipperpublished at 20:51 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Notts 131-5 v Bears 229-5

    Birmingham Bears celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Will Rhodes halts the Notts carnage as he takes a return catch from opposite number Steven Mullaney.

    New man is Samit Patel. Again, no mug with the bat.

    Notts bat a long way down.

    Nine off the over as Patel starts with a delicately guided boundary.

    Bairstow b Carse 67 (Durham 181-8 v Yorkshire 102-4)

    Jonny BairstowImage source, Rex Features

    It's been a great night for Brydon Carse, who follows a half century with Yorkshire's premier wicket.

    Jonny Bairstow tries to pull him towards square leg but the ball is too full tio attempt that stroke and he loses his middle stump.

    Bairstow hit a six and nine fours in his 50-ball knock, but his dismissal means Yorkshire now look up against it at the Riverside.

  14. Postpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Gloucestershire 177-7 v Sussex 100-4

    And the 100 comes up for Sussex who now need 78 off 61 to win.

    Phil Salt (44 not out) is getting some help now from George Garton who has raced to 27 off 12. I'd say this game's very much in the balance.

  15. Postpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Durham 181-8 v Yorkshire 99-3

    Easy runs for Jonny Bairstow, who sweeps Scott Borthwick fine and then square cuts a long hop outside off stump for back-to-back boundaries as he moves on to 67 not out.

    The Vikings take 12 from the over but need 88 from 48 balls to register their second win. That's over 10 an over.

  16. Postpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Leicestershire 98-4 v Derbyshire 209-6

    Derbyshire tighten their grip on the game as Alex Hughes bowls Colin Ackermann for 19 at the start of the 11th over. Not sure what Ackermann was trying to do there. It was a nothing shot.

  17. 50 runs

    for Laurie Evanspublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Somerset 187-6 v Surrey 119-2

    Wonderful from Laurie Evans who steals a quick single to bring up his half-century off 26 balls.

    The next two deliveries, Sam Curran smashes for a four and then a six to take Surrey to within a run-a-ball. Somerset's total of 187 doesn't look big enough!

  18. Postpublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Essex 26-2 v Hampshire 155-6

    Two wickets to tell you about from Chelmsford.

    Essex opener Will Buttleman is the first to go, caught for two off the bowling of Brad Wheal.

    The very next over Michael Pepper departs for a two-ball duck, edging Liam Dawson to the keeper.

    Essex require 130 off 97 balls to win.

  19. Postpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Gloucestershire 177-7 v Sussex 80-4

    Phil Salt is on a one man mission to drag Sussex back into this game.

    The batsman strikes another boundary to move on to 38 from 23. 98 runs needed from 73 balls.

  20. 50 runs

    for Jonny Bairstowpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Durham 181-8 v Yorkshire 86-3

    Jonny Bairstow takes two off Ben Raine to reach a 40-ball 50, containing a six and six fours.

    It follows the dismissal of Tom Kohler-Cadmore for 16 at the start of the over. He has been replaced by Harry Brook.
