  1. Maximum bonus pointspublished at 17:37 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Kent 405-7 v Somerset 202

    Three fours in an over for Hamidullah Qadri off Ben Green.

    That is the 400 up and a fifth batting point to go with the three for bowling.

    The lead is now over 200 as well, so Kent are ticking all the boxes.

  2. 50 runs

    for Ollie Pricepublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 178-5

    Ollie Price guides a Steve Patterson delivery through the covers and sprints hard for the two he needs to get his 50.

    That is his fifth of the season - can he go on to better his high score of 59?

    This stand is worth is 104 and it has been so damaging for Yorkshire.

    WICKET Orr lbw b Hogan 45published at 17:34 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Sussex 69-1 v Glam 533-9d

    Glamorgan strike!

    Ali Orr’s 38-ball counterattack is ended by Michael Hogan.

    Relief for the visitors.

    Northants 28-2 v Essex 263

    Essex have picked up a couple of early wickets with Sam Cook removing Emilio Gay and Ben Allison bowling Ricardo Vasconcelos.

    Kent 391-7 v Somerset 202

    Joey Evison clips one straight to Sajid Khan at midwicket.

  6. Bad light stops play at New Roadpublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Worcs 225 v Middx 141-2

    Chance this could be it for the day in Worcester.

    Pieter Malan, on 68, and Max Holden, 30, have put their side in a strong position.

    Maybe not! They’re pretty much straight back out with the skies having cleared.

  7. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Kent 388-6 v Somerset 202

    Craig Overton has not been a happy man today and this will not help his mood.

    Hamidullah Qadri edges it to James Rew and the ball hits the floor.

    That was a catch a wicketkeeper would take 99 times out of 100.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Trevaskis lbw b Broad 6published at 17:22 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Notts 662-9d v Durham 11-1

    Liam Trevaskis only lasts six overs and Stuart Broad has pinned him lbw.

    A nice early settler for Notts.

  9. 50 runs

    for Jack Taylorpublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 167-5

    Jack Taylor nudges a single off George Hill to bring up a terrific 50.

    A second half century in as many games after his 71 against Warwickshire last week.

  10. Play resumes at Old Traffordpublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Lancashire 512 v Surrey 105-4

    There is a smidgen of sunshine breaking out over Old Trafford so the players have returned to the field.

  11. Postpublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 166-5

    The runs have slowed up, but Ollie Price and Jack Taylor are not giving this away.

    The Gloucestershire pair recognise the value of their wickets.

  12. Postpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Notts 662-5d v Durham 7-0

    Durham have sent Liam Trevaskis out to open the batting and try to get through to the close.

    Five overs survived so far alongside Sean Dickson.

  13. Postpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Kent 380-6 v Somerset 202

    A bit of fortune for Joey Evison as he edges one past Craig Overton at second slip and down to the boundary.

    That sort of thing happens when your lead is over 170!

  14. 50 runs

    up for Sussexpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Sussex 55-0 v Glam 533-9d

    Quite the response from Sussex.

    Ali Orr has struck eight fours and four more from captain Tom Haines have brought the fifty up in only the seventh over!

    This could be hard work for Glamorgan.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Robinson b Khan 52published at 16:55 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Kent 355-6 v Somerset 202

    Wickets in successive overs for Sajid Khan.

    Ollie Robinson goes to play off the back foot but the ball turns past his bat and rocks into middle stump.

    Robinson departs for 52 off 57 balls for his fourth 50 of the season.

  16. 'Spare a thought for Liam Trevaskis'published at 16:53 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Notts 662-5 dec v Durham

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    Why they batted on so long I have no idea. But Notts eventually declared when Steven Mullaney was caught behind off Ben Raine for 136. He'd added 224 for the fifth wicket with Lyndon James who finished on 164*.

    It was Notts' highest score against Durham, who were in the field for 162 overs. It was Notts' seventh highest total in first-class cricket and the first time they had four centurions in an innings since a game in Coventry, against Warwickshire, in 1928.

    It is the first time Durham have had four players score hundreds against them in the same innings.

    And spare a thought for spinner Liam Trevaskis. He conceded 173 runs in 34 overs. The highest by a Durham player who has not managed to take a wicket in an innings.

    When Graeme Bridge conceded 180 runs at Northants in 2003 he at least took three wickets.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Leaning c Abell b Khan 41published at 16:51 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Kent 354-5 v Somerset 202

    Kent skipper Jack Leaning darts down the wicket to Sajid Khan, but he doesn't make the pitch.

    The ball flies to the opposite side he wants and it's an easy catch for Tom Abell.

  18. 50 runs

    for Ollie Robinsonpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Kent 353-4 v Somerset 202

    An easy single off Tom Abell for Ollie Robinson and that is his half century.

    That is the third of the innings after Zak Crawley and Tawanda Muyeye.

  19. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 16:48 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Yorkshire 183 v Gloucestershire 190 & 153-5

    Ollie Price gets nine runs off Dom Bess' over and that extends the lead to over 150.

    Jack Taylor has one ball to face and he deposits it over the ropes and into the stands for six.

    George Hill is forced to retrieve it from the second tier!

    15 off the over. Trouble looming for Yorkshire.

  20. wicket

    NOTTS DECLAREpublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 27 September 2022

    Notts 662-5d (Mullaney c Benjamin b Raine 136) v Durham

    Steven Mullaney finally falls for a wonderful 136 in 111 balls.

    His 10 fours and seven sixes have propelled Notts to the joint-seventh highest total in their history and highest against Durham.

    Lyndon James also played a fabulous knock and walks off unbeaten on 164, his career best.

    Hundreds yesterday for Haseeb Hameed and Matt Montgomery set up the innings for the hosts, who took four batting points.

    The pain is over for Durham - what can they find now in response on an extremely flat pitch?

    25 overs left tonight light permitting.
