'Crowd have loved every minute'published at 12:56 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Kent 149-0 v Somerset 202

Somerset have certainly played their part in helping Kent celebrate "Stevo Day", as this second day has been named, in honour of the retiring Darren Stevens.
First Lewis Goldsworthy missed out on a century, nicking off to give Nathan Gilchrist a career-best 6-61.
And then their bowlers failed to come to terms with the Canterbury slope, getting their lines and lengths all wrong, to allow Zak Crawley and Tawanda Muyeye to motor along at five runs an over with the greatest of ease.
A much bigger crowd than yesterday have loved every minute of it, just as they have the Stevo celebrations.
'Bears have no time to waste'published at 12:49 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Warwickshire 157-2 v Hampshire - lunch
Mike Taylor
BBC WM
Warwickshire’s head groundsman Gary Barwell proudly tweeted yesterday morning a picture of the 49th pitch prepared for a match at Edgbaston this season.
His team might be due a break after that exceptional workload, but for the second day running it seems that the weather will give them no peace.
Already today the covers have been peeled off twice, only to be replaced again just before midday as another shower swept in on a bracing north-westerly.
Between the showers, Warwickshire advanced their total by 19 runs in 40 minutes of play.
Rob Yates unfurled a couple more of the elegant drives he practiced throughout yesterday, and extended his highest score of a troubled season to 90 – which may prove to be a significant effort if the ball continues to nip around as it did for Keith Barker and Mohammad Abbas.
But each interruption, and every lost over, undermines Warwickshire’s position in the first division – they have no time to waste.
Lunch at Trent Bridgepublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Notts 402-3 v Durham
Runs continue to flow on the Trent Bridge featherbed.
Matt Montgomery takes the break 164 not out and Lyndon James, on 61, has shared a stand of 125 with him.
Tough work for Durham but at least it’s probably the last time they’ll field until next year!
Lunch at Canterburypublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Kent 149-0 v Somerset 202
Openers Zak Crawley and Tawanda Muyeye are feasting on some average Somerset bowling going at a tad under five runs an over.
Another session like that and Kent will be close to Division One survival.
Lunch at Hovepublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Sussex v Glam 346-6
It hasn’t been as remarkable progress as yesterday for Glamorgan but they are still in a great place trying to make up for lost time yesterday.
Chris Cooke went to a 69-ball fifty in the over before the break and maximum batting points are well within their reach.
Lunch at New Roadpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Worcs 225 v Middlesex 59-1
After the loss of Sam Robson in the opening over, Mark Stoneman and Pieter Malan have taken Middlesex to lunch in good shape.
Took a little while to shrug Worcestershire off this morning as the final two wickets lasted an hour.
YORKSHIRE ALL OUTpublished at 12:40 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 183 all out v Gloucestershire
Steve Patterson, who was given a guard of honour when he walked out to bat, slashes one off Tom Price into the hands of his brother Ollie at second slip.
Yorkshire were 121-3, but have subsided to 183 all out, trailing by seven and without picking up any batting points.
Great stuff from Zafar Gohar, whose 5-40, his fifth five-for of the summer, have really turned the match.
Gloucestershire will start their second innings after lunch.
Extra half hourpublished at 12:39 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 183-9 v Gloucestershire 190
Gloucestershire have taken the extra half-hour as they try to polish off this Yorkshire innings.
Matt Fisher and last man Steve Patterson are inching closer towards parity.
Patterson gets four and the deficit is into single figures.
Lunch at Old Traffordpublished at 12:34 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Lancashire 512 v Surrey 1-0
Surrey go through the motions of facing one over from Tom Bailey before returning to the dressing room for lunch.
Seven bowlers used in 26 overspublished at 12:29 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Kent 138-0 v Somerset 202
Sajid Khan is thrown the ball and is the seventh Somerset bowler so far. That tells its own story.
Zak Crawley reverse-sweeps the first ball for four. That is the 21st of the innings.
LANCASHIRE ALL OUTpublished at 12:23 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Lancashire 512 all out v Surrey
George Balderson must have little faith in Matt Parkinson as from the first ball he faces, he dances down the wicket to Dan Moriarty but picks out Jamie Overton in the deep. That is a pity.
A career-best 97, but agonisingly short of a maiden hundred.
Moriarty ends with 5-163.
for Tawanda Muyeyepublished at 12:22 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Kent 113-0 v Somerset 202
Tawanda Muyeye taps one into the legside and gets the run he needs for an excellent half-century off 75 balls.
He and Zak Crawley are putting Kent into a very strong position.
WICKET Salter c Orr b Carson 15published at 12:22 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Sussex v Glam 315-6
Sussex continue to chip away.
Andrew Salter has a slap at Jack Carson and swings only to long-on.
WICKET Williams c Smith b Steel 7published at 12:19 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Lancashire 512-9 v Surrey
Will Williams is caught behind off the leg spin of Cameron Steel.
George Balderson is three short of a maiden first-class century. Here comes last man and well-known rabbit, Matt Parkinson!
WICKET Coad c Hammond b Gohar 1published at 12:15 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Yorkshire 166-9 v Gloucestershire 190
Ben Coad tries a huge heave off Zafar Gohar and the ball goes miles up in the air before it is caught by Miles Hammond at mid-off.
That is five wickets for Gohar, who has bamboozled Yorkshire's lower order this morning.
It brings Steven Patterson to the crease in his final game for the county.

50 for Zak Crawleypublished at 12:11 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Kent 104-0 v Somerset 202

An easy single for Zak Crawley to bring up an effortless half century. The England opener is a glorious player to watch when he gets going.
This is only his fourth 50 of the Championship season, coming off 59 balls with nine fours.
WICKET Bailey c Roach b Moriarty 22published at 12:09 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Lancashire 501-8 v Surrey
Just after bringing up the team's 500, Tom Bailey tries a big heave off Dan Moriarty, but he does not get to the pitch and sends it skywards for Kemar Roach to get under at mid-on.

Derbyshire 121-0 v Leicestershire 249
Leicestershire's chances of picking up a win this season look slim.
Half-centuries from Luis Reece and Derbyshire captain Billy Godleman have put the hosts in control.

up for Glamorganpublished at 12:08 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Sussex v Glam 304-5
Third point up for Glamorgan and their rate of scoring - almost five-an-over - leaves them another 48 overs to try and reach 400 for maximum points.
Chris Cooke and Andrew Salter at the crease.
for Matt Montgomerypublished at 12:07 British Summer Time 27 September 2022
Notts 358-3 v Durham
This maiden first-class hundred is becoming a biggie for the 22-year-old South African.
Notts have a fourth batting point too but only two overs left in bonus-point period now.
Lyndon James now offering support on 31 not out.
