    Northants v Lancs 133-6

    Ben Sanderson is back and he picks up another for Northants.

    Nothing for Danny Lamb.

    Middlesex 143-7

    Just three from the over and Sunil Narine finishes his four with figures of 2-27. Great stuff by the West Indies spinner.

    Luke Hollman has got to see the strike here.

    Every time he has been on strike he's scored runs.

    He can't be stuck on the non-strike end for Middlesex for these last two overs.

    Andersson st Smith b Narine 6 (Middlesex 142-7)

    Easy as you like for Surrey.

    Martin Andersson tries to charge Sunil Narine, but it spins past the outside edge and Jamie Smith has the bails off in a flash.

    Maybe Durham are back into it against Yorkshire...

    Is there anything for Lancs in these latter stages?

    They can’t get Jimmy Neesham away in the 17th.

    A couple of wides helps the Red Rose but still an over for eight.

  7. dropped catch

    Let-off for Hollmanpublished at 17 overs

    Middlesex 140-6

    Luke Hollman deftly chops a full-length Chris Jordan delivery and Kieron Pollard's dive is despairing as it runs away for four.

    What an effort by Jordan later in the over as he is unable to hang onto a sharp caught and bowled chance with his left hand but throws himself down in a vain effort to grab it at the second attempt.

  8. Postpublished at 16 overs

    Middlesex 132-6

    Martin Andersson is a capable bat and he ends Gus Atkinson's over by cutting behind point for four. Four overs to go for Middlesex.

  9. Postpublished at 16 overs

    Northants v Lancs 124-5

    Josh Cobb brings himself back and leaks just four.

    Things becoming really concerning for Lanky.

    Durham celebrate a wicketImage source, PA Media

    Collapse on the cards for Yorkshire? Probably not, but Scott Borthwick has slowed the White Rose's progress against Durham, removing Adam Lyth for 81 and Harry Brook first ball to leave Yorkshire 164-3 after 15 overs.

    At Trent Bridge, Sam Hain is closing in on becoming the ground's sixth centurion of the week.

    He's 84 not out, with the Birmingham Bears 189-2 with four overs to go against Notts Outlaws.

    That ground produces exciting cricket, doesn't it?!

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15.3 overs

    Green c Jordan b Atkinson 14 (Middlesex 127-6)

    Gus Atkinson returns and Chris Green edges over the keeper for four. That's been a productive shot for Middlesex this evening - even if an unintentional one.

    A mis-field by Ollie Pope allows Green two more, but he then drills a catch straight to Chris Jordan at mid-off.

    Northants v Lancs 120-5

    Just six runs from the 15th over.

  13. wicket

    WICKET David c Curran b White 31published at 14.2 overs

    Northants v Lancs 118-5

    Tim David’s bombing ends too soon for Lancashire.

    Graeme White has him held in the deep and Northants are firmly back in the driving seat.

  14. Postpublished at 15 overs

    Middlesex 121-5

    Chris Green middles a pull shot off Chris Jordan for four and then makes contact with nothing but thin air as the England paceman whistles a short one past him. Three singles are all they can muster from the rest of the over and that's not enough at this stage for Middlesex.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Croft c White b Heldreich 25published at 14 overs

    Northants v Lancs 114-4

    Tim David takes only a single from the fifth ball and Steven Croft back on strike…

    …and gone!

    Fred Heldreich bounces back with a wicket.

    Singapore Sling anyone?

    Tim David trying to blast Lancashire back into the game and belts the first four balls of the 14th for six!

    Middlesex 114-5

    Fine shot by Luke Hollman who picks the gap perfectly with a slog sweep for four. He has 18, but Middlesex keep their foot on the accelerator now.

    He definitely came out with a plan. I'm a little gutted to see him go because he tried the reverse lap there.

    He caught it pretty cleanly off the bat but it was straight at Gus Atkinson.

    If he'd got a bit more on that it would have run for four and it'd have been game on.

    We're five overs into our two late starts in the South Group and the batting sides have endured contrasting fortunes so far.

    Essex have raced to 54-1 against Sussex thanks mainly to a rapid 35 from Adam Rossington.

    But at the Ageas Bowl, it's been tough going for Hampshire, who are 20-1, against defending champions Kent.

    Elsewhere, Adam Lyth is 78 not out off 42 balls as Yorkshire have passed 150 in the 14th over against Durham. The White Rose are going to post a big total tonight.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13.1 overs

    Davies c Atkinson b Narine 17 (Middlesex 105-5)

    Jack Davies tries another switch-hit at the start of Sunil Narine's over but hits it straight to Gus Atkinson.

    A bit of a gift, to be honest, and it brings Chris Green to the crease.
