  1. Wells in a hurrypublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Lancs 276 & 35-0 v Yorks 255

    Luke Wells is playing all the shots at the moment.

    A perfect square cut for four off Jordan Thompson is followed by the second maximum of his innings later in the over, pulled cleanly over backward square leg.

    We've only had six overs and he is already 30 not out.

  2. Somerset turn to Lammonbypublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Somerset 248 v Gloucs 343 & 132-2 - lead by 227

    He's a part time left arm bowler, but does have 9 wickets to his name in 26 first class games.

    He bowls a tidy line, gun barrel straight - and Hammond blocks.

    His third ball is fuller and wider and driven through the off side for a couple.

    The last ball is squeezed into the leg side for a very tight single. Good backing up there by Kasey Aldridge.

  3. 15:15 BST restart at Canterburypublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Kent 164 & 20-1 v Essex 573

    Shouldn’t be long before we’re back underway at the St Lawrence.

    Tea will be taken at 16:15 and 45 overs will remain.

  4. Will there be more play in Cardiff?published at 15:06 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Glamorgan 172-5 v Worcs 454-9 dec

    The umpires are to make a further inspection at 15:20 to decide if there is any chance of a resumption.

  5. Postpublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Somerset 248 v Gloucs 343 & 129-2 - lead by 224

    44 overs left in the day's play. Weather permitting.

    Charlesworth gets another streaky single off an inside edge, this time off Josh Davey.

    Davey pushes the ball out wide to Hammond, who leaves the ball alone.

    Since Ollie Price was out, Gloucestershire have stalled to just one run an over in the last five.

  6. wicket

    WICKET Walker c James b Hutton 18published at 15:00 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Notts 201 & 390-7 dec v Leics 93 & 174-9

    Two short legs are in place - perhaps fearing for their safety - as Brett Hutton bangs on it, but Roman Walker pulls it straight to Lyndon James at square leg.

    It's two in three balls for the seamer as Chris Wright follows, gloving a leg-side catch to keeper Tom Moores.

    Just one more needed now by Notts.

  7. 6 runs

    Lancs 276 & 19-0 v Yorks 255

    Magnificent by Luke Wells.

    Jordan Thompson overpitches and the left-hander hits him gun-barrel straight down the ground for six.

  8. Northants follow onpublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Hants 400-9d v Northants 175 & 5-0

    Northants are indeed shoved back in.

    51 more overs scheduled for today.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Godleman lbw Raine 43published at 14:57 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Derbys 306 & 147-3 v Durham 223

    Did that keep a little low?

    Perhaps - but there is no doubt about the lbw decision that ends Billy Godleman's innings, and his 88-run stand with Wayne Madsen.

    The Derbyshire lead is 230.

  10. Postpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Somerset 248 v Gloucs 343 & 128-2 - lead by 223

    Charlesworth defends Khan through the off side. This is a very patient knock.

    Hammond gets his first run with a pull to long leg for a single.

    Charlesworth drives and gets an inside edge which runs away through the on side for one more.

    He now has 42 runs off 138 balls.

  11. Postpublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Lancs 276 & 10-0 v Yorks 255

    Bold.

    Luke Wells takes one step forward and imperiously lofts Ben Coad away for a single-bounce four.

    Is that an indicator of the way the Red Rose are going to approach this second innings?

  12. wicket

    NORTHANTS ALL OUTpublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Hants 400-9d v Northants 175 (Sanderson b Abbott 5)

    The collapse is complete and Hampshire have fired Northants out for just 175.

    All 10 have gone down for only 107 and today the visitors have lost 9-95 in 33 overs.

    Kyle Abbott finished it off to collect 4-52.

    It’s a massive lead for Hampshire who may enforce the follow-on with the weather as it is.

  13. 50 runs

    for Wayne Madsenpublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Derbys 306 & 138-2 v Durham 223

    Wayne Madsen deflects a ball from Ben Raine past the slips for four to reach 50 off 78 balls. He now has eight half-centuries and three hundreds in a very productive season indeed.

  14. Postpublished at 14:47 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Lancs 276 & 2-0 v Yorks 255

    Lancashire start their second innings and there is a single apiece for Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings from Ben Coad's first over.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Barnes c Hameed b Hutton 37published at 14:43 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Notts 201 & 390-7 dec v Leics 93 & 169-7

    Ed Barnes tries to give himself room but Brett Hutton follows him with a bouncer and the Leicestershire batter ends up flat on his back as Haseeb Hameed takes a simple catch at short leg.

    A good little partnership between Barnes and Roman Walker added 48, but Leicestershire are now just three wickets from defeat.

  16. wicket

    WICKET O Price c Gregory b Khan 53published at 14:42 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Somerset 248 v Gloucs 343 & 124-2 - lead by 219

    A disappointing end to a promising innings.

    A miscued reverse sweep appears to bounce off the boot or pad and lofts a catch to Lewis Gregory at first slip.

    Umpires Nigel Llong and Tom Lungley confer before giving the batter out.

    Miles Hammond joins Ben Charlesworth in the middle.

  17. Davey returnspublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Somerset 248 v Gloucs 343 & 123-1 - lead by 218

    Just five runs off six overs in his first spell.

    The wind is getting up here at Taunton as Davey bowls round the wicket.

    His fourth ball is short and pulled away by Charlesworth for a single.

    Steady from Somerset - but they need wickets.

    for Ollie Pricepublished at 14:33 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Somerset 248 v Gloucs 343 & 119-1 - lead by 214.

    Back to back half centuries for Gloucestershire's number three.

    Aldridge beats him outside the off stump and drops short with his next ball, which is hammered through mid wicket for four.

    That's 50 off 97 balls with 9 fours.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Williams c Holland b Abbott 2published at 14:32 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Hants 400-9d v Northants 164-9

    Full ball just outside off, Lizaad Williams drives at it and squirts a catch to backward point.

    Kyle Abbott with his third wicket and Northants almost done now.

  20. wicket

    WICKET Coad c Croft b Parkinson 26published at 14:30 British Summer Time 7 September 2022

    Lancashire 276 v Yorkshire 255

    Ben Coad tries to swing Matt Parkinson to leg, but a leading edge ends up in the hands of Steven Croft at backward point.

    Coad added 36 for the final wicket with Steven Patterson, who remains on 14 not out - the first-innings deficit is 21.

    Parkinson finishes with 3-52 but Tom Bailey has the best figures of 4-56. Lancashire are going to have to get on with it now if they are to force a win in this game.
