Tom Abell c Dunn b Clark 69 (Somerset 166-6)
Got him!
A brilliant innings from Tom Abell comes to a close, caught at long on off the bowling of Jordan Clark.
His 69 came off 44 balls with nine fours and one six.
Kent 69-4 v Middlesex
Kent can't be satisfied with this position at the mid-point of their innings, but Jordan Cox looks like he is ready to take responsibility for raising the tempo. He has just struck Nathan Sowter for a big six to move on to 13, and Jack Leaning is 14 not out at the other end.
Notts v Birmingham Bears 222-5
It took him 10 balls to get his eye in but now it's three sixes in successive balls for Carlos Brathwaite off poor Peter Trego.
The third was off a no ball, then it's a dot ball, then another six and a four.
31 off the over. Ouch!
Brathwaite 44 off 17 balls; Make that 44 off 18 and out, off the first ball of the last over, as he holes out to Joe Clarke.
Already this is the third highest Bears' score in T20 cricket.
Somerset 161-5 v Surrey
Tom Curran has just been smashed for 19 runs off his third over.
Tom Abell moves on to 65 not out. Three overs to go now and Somerset are targeting a big total.
Durham 140-7 v Yorkshire
A welcome maximum by Brydon Carse to end the 17th over after Paul Coughlin was caught at long-off for 21. Jordan Thompson now has 3-26, with one more to bowl of his allocation.
Northants v Worcestershire 77-1
Moeen Ali and Brett D'Oliveira are building well for Worcestershire at Wantage Road following the early loss of Riki Wessels..
Dolly is already onto 25 and Moeen on 19 as the Rapids face their former overseas signing Wayne Parnell for the first time.
They are now 77-1 after nine overs, after a stand so far of 66 - and Parnell has gone for 23 off two.
Notts v Birmingham Bears 182-4
Three overs left for the Bears now at Trent Bridge - and Sam Hain is going for his shots now.
Three sixes before he had even hit a four. Then he does and that is followed by Carlos Brathwaite finding the rope for the first time, followed by a fourth maximum for Hain.
22 come off the 17th over bowled by Dane Paterson.
Leicestershire v Derbyshire 162-4
Matt Critchley strikes his second six of the over off Gavin Griffiths, this one picked up over wide long-on, to reach his 50 off 34 balls. It's only his second in T20 cricket and Derbyshire are well placed to post a big total with three more to be bowled.
Somerset 138-5 v Surrey
A brilliant half-century from Tom Abell comes up after 33 balls with seven fours.
Five overs to go. The hard work starts now.
Kent 46-4 v Middlesex
Smart work by John Simpson, who gathers down the leg-side and removes the bails before Alex Blake can regain his ground. It's a wicket for Australian Chris Green and Kent are really struggling in the seventh over.
Essex v Hampshire 62-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesHampshire are falling apart a little with eight overs gone.
First Simon Harmer bowls Tom Alsop for three. Then Sam Cook claims his second as D'Arcy Short edges to the keeper for 26.
Two new men at the crease.
Leicestershire v Derbyshire 143-4
A great stand for Derbyshire, with Matt Critchley and Alex Hughes adding 53 in 33 balls since the downfall of Luis Reece. Criitchley is 35 not out and Hughes - who hit the first three balls of the latest over by Will Davis for four - on 31. There are four more to be bowled.
Gloucestershire 127-5 v Sussex
Another huge six from New Zealander Glenn Phillips, his fourth in three overs.
Chris Jordan was the bowler, how does he respond?
With a wicket, clean-bowling the hard-hitter for 42 off 27 balls.
Durham 104-6 v Yorkshire
England spinner Adil Rashid has completed his four overs for impressive figures of 1-19 and there are only six remaining in the Durham innings. Paul Coughlin and Brydon Carse are together in the middle and if they maintain their current rate, they should post a total somewhere around 150.
Somerset 125-5 v Surrey
Tom Curran enters the attack and immediately strikes as Lewis Gregory edges one behind to the keeper.
Gregory goes for two. Ben Green joins Tom Abell (40 not out) in the middle.
14 overs gone.
Notts v Birmingham Bears 133-4
Bears lose their third wicket for 13 runs in 19 balls as young Dan Mousley holes out to earn Matt Carter his second wicket - and that brings Carlos Brathwaite to the crease.
The big-hitting Caribbean dangerman failed on his Bears debut at Headingley last night, making only three off six balls.
Can he do the business now?
Kent 38-3 v Middlesex
Alex Blake denied Blake Cullen a hat-trick (see 19:15 entry) but Middlesex have collected a third Kent wicket after Steven Finn surprised Ollie Robinson with extra bounce and he gloved to the keeper. A magnificent delivery and Finn is now into his second over with five completed in the innings.

James Vince c Nijjar b Cook 23 (Hampshire 39-1)
Noooooo!
James Vince is out in 20s for the 900th time in his career (probably).
It's a great scalp for Essex's Sam Cook with the hosts on top after six overs.
