    WICKET Lilley st Moores b Harrison 42published at 20:31 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Leicestershire 101-3 (8.3 overs) v Notts Outlaws 173

    And Leicestershire lose another key figure in their run chase.

    Arron Lilley is stumped by Tom Moores to give Calvin Harrison another wicket.

    Colin Ackermann and Harry Swindells take up the challenge now.

  2. Postpublished at 20:30 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Birmingham Bears 169-5 v Worcestershire 57-2 (8.3 overs)

    Jake Libby (21no) and Daryl Mitchell (16no) regrouping well, if slightly slowly, for the Pears at Edgbaston.

    Just as I say that, Mitchell goes for a big six and Kyle Mayers almost catches it on the boundary, one-handed, but can't hang on. Stops the six but it's four - and not a wicket.

  3. Postpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Lancashire 199-5 v Durham 78-0 (6.0 overs)

    Six overs gone. After the powerplay Lancashire were 75-0. Durham are 78-0.

    We're in for an absolute thriller!

    David Bedingham has 47 from 18, while Graham Clark has 28 from 18.

  4. Middlesex six downpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Middlesex 38-6 (8.3 overs) v Kent 157-8

    This could be over pretty quickly at Lord's.

    Kent well and truly in command as they reduce Middlesex to 38-6. Marcus O'Riordan dismisses Max Holden for nine to a smart catch on the boundary by Calum MacLeod.

    Meanwhile in the stands, Middlesex legend Tim Murtagh is caught on camera downing a pint on command from some of the crowd. About the only thing that's gone right for the hosts in this innings so far!

    Lloyd c C Overton b Goldsworthy 11published at 20:26 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Somerset 181-5 v Glamorgan 36-3 (6.1 overs)

    It's two wickets in four balls for Somerset.

    David Lloyd picks out Craig Overton at cover, with so much space either side.

    Somerset in charge here now. Big game for their last-eight hopes, this.

  7. wicket

    WICKET Inglis c Hales b Harrison 42published at 20:23 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Leicestershire 78-2 (7 overs) v Notts Outlaws 173

    Big-hitting Josh Inglis falls for Leicestershire for 42 from 19 balls.

    He picks out Alex Hales at long-off off the bowling of Calvin Harrison.

    Mantle passes on to Arron Lilley now to help the Foxes maintain their momentum in this chase.

  8. wicket

    Ingram c&b Overton 19published at 20:23 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Somerset 181-5 v Glamorgan 35-2 (5.4 overs)

    That earlier six would make Colin Ingram's highlight reel. This shot won't.

    He attempts to pull a big one but gets his timing just off, I think he ends up hitting it off his own helmet and it loops up for the easiest caught and bowled Craig Overton will ever have.

  9. Postpublished at 20:23 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Lancashire 199-5 v Durham 53-0 (4.0 overs)

    A brilliant start from Durham who are making a go of this monster chase.

    Graham Clark has 10. David Bedingham has 40 from 14!

  10. Foxes on coursepublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Leicestershire 75-1 (6 overs) v Notts Outlaws 173

    It's a run-fest at Grace Road this evening.

    Leicestershire are on course for a big win over holders and already-qualified Notts Outlwas as it stands.

    75-1 they are at the end of the powerplay chasing 174.

    Josh Inglis 47 not out off just 17 balls.

  11. Hampshire need 184 to winpublished at 20:20 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Hampshire v Sussex 183-6 (20 overs)

    A late cameo from Rashid Khan and Ravi Bopara top-scoring.

    A really competitive total this from Sussex. Hampshire remember must win to keep their qualification hopes alive.

  12. Middlesex problems mountpublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Middlesex 30-4 (6.2 overs) v Kent 157-8

    Middlesex in deep trouble now trying to chase 158 to beat Kent.

    Varun Chopra is bowled by Elliot Hooper on his Kent debut to give him a maiden wicket for the county.

    Khan lbw b Wheal 26published at 20:19 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Hampshire v Sussex 181-6 (19.5 overs)

    As plum as you can get. Just the one ball to go.

  14. Postpublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Hampshire v Sussex 179-5 (19.1 overs)

    Rashid Khan has the strike for the final over. He starts with a four.

    24 off nine balls so far. What a cameo.

    for Colin Ingrampublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Somerset 181-5 v Glamorgan 29-1 (4 overs)

    Good response, this, from Glamorgan to losing the early wicket of Kiran Carlson.

    Colin Ingram crashes a huge six off Craig Overton with the final ballof the fourth over.

    He's on 18 off 16 deliveries and Glamorgan proving competitive with the required rate.

    Hampshire v Sussex 175-5 (19.0 overs)

    Maybe that knock did Rashid Khan good. He follows up David Wiese's wicket with three fours and a six from the next four balls.

    He's now on 20 from just 8 balls.

  17. wicket

    Wiese c Prest b Currie 7published at 20:14 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Hampshire v Sussex 156-5 (18.1 overs)

    Big effort from David Wiese but the ball doesn't quite carry over the longest part of the boundary.

    Good finish so far from Hampshire.

  18. wicket

    Haynes c Hose b Briggs 15published at 20:13 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Birmingham Bears 169-5 v Worcestershire 22-2 (4 overs)

    Worcestershire might not make hay.

  19. Postpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Lancashire 199-5 v Durham 21-0 (2.0 overs)

    Two overs gone. Durham are six runs ahead of Lancashire's total at this stage.

    Very early days though.

  20. Postpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 16 July 2021

    Birmingham Bears 169-5 v Worcestershire 18-1 (3 overs)

    Almost a second wicket for the Bears as Carlos Brathwaite tempts Jack Haynes into a slog.

    Will Rhodes sprints and sprints and almost gets under it but the ball slips through his fingers. Tough catch that, good effort but not to be.

    Will Worcestershire make hay from that narrow escape?
