    Durham 90-5 v Yorkshire

    Yorkshire have struck a big blow at the Riverside with Cameron Bancroft top edging an attempted pull off Lockie Ferguson and wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow running back to take an excellent catch. Bancroft made 15 and Durham have only nine overs left to boost their total.

    Essex v Hampshire 37-0

    James Vince is into the 20s.

    On behalf of all neutrals who like watching beautiful batting, please push on James and bat all 20 overs.

  3. Postpublished at 19:17 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Somerset 101-4 v Surrey

    The 100 comes up for Somerset in the 12th over.

    This fixture is evenly poised with Tom Abell (25 not out) and Eddie Byrom (14 not out) both set in the middle.

  4. wicket

    Pollock departs for 62published at 19:16 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Notts v Birmingham Bears 123-3

    Matt Carter bowls Ed Pollock for 62 in the 12th over - and Notts are maybe putting the squeeze on a little. Dan Mousley comes in to join Sam Hain.

  5. Breakthrough for Northantspublished at 19:16 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Northants v Worcestershire 18-1

    Early wicket for Northants as Ben Sanderson bowls Riki Wessels - but that brings in England all-rounder turned global T20 specialist Moeen Ali.

    The beard that's feared starts menacingly with two fours in his first six balls.

  6. wicket

    Kent 26-2 v Middlesex

    Drama at Canterbury where 19-year-old Blake Cullen dismissed Daniel Bell-Drummond with the final two balls of his opening over after being hit for three boundaries from the first four.

    Bell-Drummond went for 15, spooning a catch to Eoin Morgan, and Denly - who made 10 - was caught behind after opening the face to try and steer the ball to third man. Cullen will be on a hat-trick of sorts when he bowls again.

  7. Wicket for 16-year-old Lenhampublished at 19:15 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Gloucestershire 78-4 v Sussex

    He's done it! 16-year-old Archie Lenham has his maiden T20 wicket.

    Jack Taylor is well-caught by Delray Rawlins, falling for 21.

    What a moment. Lenham isn't even old enough to learn to drive yet.

    Durham 77-4 v Yorkshire

    England leg-spinner Adil Rashid struck in his opening over for Yorkshire as Sean Dickson holed out for eight. Australian Cameron Bancroft is there on 11 not out and has now been joined by Ned Eckersley.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Ed Pollockpublished at 19:08 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Notts v Birmingham Bears 120-2

    Ed Pollock goes to his 50 with a huge six off Peter Trego - not the best way for the Notts veteran top celebrate his 40th birthday tomorrow.

    He's only been in just over half an hour and already Pollock is on to 54.

    But that is then followed by the loss of Will Rhodes for 18 in the 11th over - a first wicket for Calvin Harrison.

    New man is Sam Hain. And the Bears still have Carlos Brathwaite to come.

  10. 50 runs

    for Luis Reecepublished at 19:08 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Leicestershire v Derbyshire 90-3

    Derbsyhire's innings reaches the half-way point after a push to mid-on by Luis Reece carries him to a 27-ball half-century - his 10th in T20 games. He has has struck four sixes so far and Leicestershire need to get rid of him or they could find themselves facing a big run-chase.

    Somerset 71-3 v Surrey

    When in doubt, throw the ball to Surrey's Gareth Batty and Daniel Moriarty.

    Batty takes the wicket of James Hildreth, pinning him leg before for 31.

    And then Moriarty backs him, conceding just three from his first over. Slow bowling, it's an art at the shortest format.

  12. 100 runs

    100 up for Bearspublished at 19:05 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Notts v Birmingham Bears 100-1

    Adam Hose may have gone, but Ed Pollock and Will Rhodes are keeping up the momentum for the Birmingham Bears against holders Notts at Trent Bridge.

    The 100 comes up at the end of the ninth over, with Pollock on 44 and Rhodes 14.

  13. 6 runs

    Durham 64-3 v Yorkshire

    Jordan Thompson is a rapidly developing talent for Yorkshire and he has removed Durham's David Bedingham, caught off a leading edge by Dawid Malan, to pick up a second wicket.

    Figures of 2-5 are worthy of respect, but he is not shown any by new batsman Sean Dickson, who handsomely deposits his second ball faced over long-on for six. Seven overs completed.

  14. Postpublished at 19:02 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Essex v Hampshire 4-0

    James Vince has just hit a beautiful drive through the covers for four.

    Nature is healing.

    The final three games of the evening are now getting under way at Essex, Northants and Kent...

    Gloucestershire 54-3 v Sussex

    Two balls, that's all it takes for captain marvel Chris Jordan to find Sussex's third wicket.

    Ian Cockbain is clean-bowled, his stumps cartwheeling behind him.

    Four balls left of the powerplay.

  17. Postpublished at 18:54 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Somerset 49-2 v Surrey

    And a second wicket for Surrey, it's six and out for Will Smeed who smashes Matt Dunn for a maximum, before getting caught by Jason Roy at point off the very next ball.

  18. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 18:53 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Leicestershire v Derbyshire 52-2

    It's a good evening so far Naveen-ul-Haq, who bowled Billy Godleman with a well-disguised slower ball to pick up his second wicket. Luis Reece, though, has lust lofted Gavin Griffiths for a superb six, and a boundary to end the sixth over took him to 28 and the Derbyshire total past 50.

    Gloucestershire 43-2 v Sussex

    George GartonImage source, Rex Features

    Another powerplay wicket for Sussex's George Garton as Chris Dent falls for 18.

    That's both openers out now. Great start, five overs gone.

  20. Postpublished at 18:50 British Summer Time 11 June 2021

    Durham 44-1 v Yorkshire

    Yorkshire have halted Graham Clark's flurry of fours and sixes, and after suffering with the ball, David Willey was the man to take the catch at mid-on to send him on his way for 34. New Zealander Lockie Ferguson was the successful bowler and four overs are gone.
