  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 18:00 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Milnes c Dawson b Barker 4 (Kent 265-7 v Hampshire)

    Just what Hampshire wanted with only two overs remaining - Keith Barker claims his fourth wicket as Matt Milnes edges to second slip. It's a low chance but Liam Dawson takes it safely. Hamidullah Qadri joins Darren Stevens in the middle.

  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:54 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Shaw b Hasan Ali 18 (Lancs v Glos 238-8)

    Josh Shaw biffed Matt Parkinson for six and drove George Balderson beautifully straight for four.

    But he's now dragged Hasan Ali into his stumps, giving the Pakistani a fourth wicket of the day.

  3. Postpublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Warwickshire 59-2 v Essex 168

    Dom Sibley will be glad of the time in the middle at Edgbaston and a boundary off Mark Steketee takes the England opener to 21 not out. Sam Hain has two and there are eight more overs to come after this one.

  4. Division Two round-uppublished at 17:48 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Brett D'Oliveira is four runs away from a century for Worcestershire, who are 300-5 against Sussex - Ed Barnard made 75.

    Nottinghamshire are 13-0 after five overs after bowling out Durham for 230 at the Riverside.

    It's a similar story at Leicester, where the home side were dismissed for 213 - with Sam Conners taking 4-62 - and Derbyshire are 3-0 after three.

    Middlesex are nearing a first innings lead in Cardiff - they are 110-5 replaying to Glamorgan's 122 all out.

  5. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Cox c Vince b Abbas 51 (Kent 256-6 v Hampshire)

    Good line and length from Mohammad Abbas (how often has that been said?), Jordan Cox pushes forward and James Vince scoops up the catch at first slip. Five overs to go and Kent need Darren Stevens and Matt Milnes to survive until stumps.

  6. 'Bowling of the highest order'published at 17:40 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Glamorgan 122 v Middlesex 108-5

    Kevin Hand
    BBC Radio London at Sophia Gardens

    It's been a torrid day for the batters in Cardiff but in their defence they've been up again bowling of the highest order.

    In Shaeen Afridi, Toby Roland-Jones and Tom Helm, Middlesex have an attack that at very least rivals their 2016 title-winning attack of Tim Murtagh, Roland-Jones and Steven Finn.

    Helm, who has been so unlucky with injury, is regarded as very close to the Test side. Afridi needs no introduction from me, while Roland-Jones was the pick of the trio today.

    Timm Van der Gugten has been relentless in leading the Glamorgan attack on the top of off stump but former Middlesex all rounder James Harris doing the majority of the damage so far.

    The pitch has been a fraction uneven, so worth watching on day two to see whether it flattens or worsens, but the grass covering has meant the devastating accuracy of two high quality attacks has been too much for the batters.

  7. 100 runs

    for Tom Abellpublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Surrey v Somerset 245-6

    Well batted, Tom Abell, who reaches his ninth first-class century from 214 balls, with a single off Reece Topley.

    He has 15 boundaries in his innings so far and Somerset are closing in on a second batting point.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Gohar st Salt b Parkinson 27 (Lancs v Glos 215-7)

    The Shire revival is halted with the wicket of Zafar Gohar.

    Matt Parkinson has lured him out of his ground for his first wicket of the day.

    Can the Glos tail rally with Ryan Higgins, still there on 37, to move them towards 250?

    Looking well light at the moment.

  9. Five-for for LPWpublished at 17:30 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Durham 230 v Nottinghamshire

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    Liam Patterson-White, who was born a few miles away from this ground in Sunderland, bowled throughout the afternoon from the Finchale End and took 5-54 - his second best figures in first-class cricket.

    Ben Raine was the last Durham man to go for 36 and it really wasn't a good afternoon for the hosts after they had reached 96-2 at lunch.

    They never really recovered from the loss of three quick wickets at the start of the afternoon session. Added to the dismissal of Sean Dickson just before lunch, it was four for 29 in 14 overs. They have also lost Liam Trevaskis to a concussion injury which is another blow.

    Notts now have 15 tricky overs to see out tonight in the evening sunshine in CLS.

  10. wicket

    Yorkshire all outpublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Northants v Yorks 296

    Some merry slugging from Matt Revis, who ends unbeaten on 31, almost hauled Yorkshire to 300 but they’re denied a third batting point.

    Gareth Berg has finished things off and picks up 5-58.

    Northants perhaps the happier of the sides having lost the toss.

    Batting tends to only get easier at Wantage Road.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:27 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    C Overton c Curran b Topley 7 (Surrey v Somerset 237-6)

    So we won't see Overton bowling to Overton - in this innings, at least.

    Craig Overton departs, caught at backward point off Reece Topley and Somerset have now lost three wickets for 14 runs.

    They need someone to stay with Tom Abell, who is 95 not out. Will Josh Davey be that man?

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Robinson c Brown b Barker 7 (Kent 250-5 v Hampshire)

    Kent earn their second batting point, but Keith Barker collects his third wicket at the start of the next over as a limp shot by Ollie Robinson sees him caught behind.

    Jordan Cox is 51 not out as he is joined by the venerable Darren Stevens.

  13. 200 runs

    up for Gloucestershirepublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Lancs v Glos 202-6

    Things got ugly for Gloucestershire shortly before tea when they slumped to 150-6 having been 119-0.

    But Zafar Gohar and Ryan Higgins, both with runs already this season, have steadied the situation and got their side a batting point.

    As a minimum, Glos need to bat through the day having won the toss and been going so well.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:20 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Yates lbw Steketee 10 (Warwickshire 46-2 v Essex 168)

    Rob Yates pays the price for playing across the line as Mark Steketee bowls from round the wicket and falls lbw to the Australian paceman.

    Dom Sibley takes three runs off Shane Snater at the start of the next over and is 15 not out, having just been joined by Sam Hain.

  15. Hat-trick survivedpublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Northants v Yorks 275-9

    Harris Rauf keeps out Matt Kelly but Yorkshire are almost done here.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Patterson b Kelly 0 (Northants v Yorks 275-9)

    Matt Kelly on a hat-trick!

    Steven Patterson cleaned up first ball.

  17. 50 runs

    for Jordan Coxpublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Kent 249-4 v Hampshire

    Just moments after the loss of partner Daniel Bell-Drummond, Jordan Cox posts a 142-ball half-century with a cover drive for four off Mohammad Abbas. He has a six and six boundaries so far.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Thompson lbw b Kelly 51 (Northants v Yorks 275-8)

    But it’s fifty and out for Jordan Thompson.

    Matt Kelly with his first wicket for Northants ends a very useful stand of 69.

    Northants could restrict Yorkshire to under 300 now.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Davies c Foakes b Clark 0 (Surrey v Somerset 224-5)

    Two Somerset wickets in the space of five balls as Steven Davies departs without scoring. He is caught behind, bringing Craig Overton to the middle, with the prospect of batting against brother Jamie - although Will Jacks and Jordan Clark are sharing the leg-work at the moment.

  20. 50 runs

    for Jordan Thompsonpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 21 April 2022

    Northants v Yorkshire (275-7)

    What a lovely hand this is from the Yorkshire No. 8.

    At 206-7 Northants were back on top but this counterpunch, a half-century in 69 balls, has swung the day the way of the visitors once more.
