    Worcs 157 v Gloucs 231 & 172-3

    Well-played shot by Graeme van Buuren but the ball slows up approaching the rope and he is restricted to three runs.

    Chris Dent misses an attempted cover drive and remains on 66 not out. The lead is 246.

  2. Postpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Yorks 80-3 (target 201)

    Better over from Carson, who concedes three off his second after going for eight in the first.

    Hope rides the bounce from McAndrew at the other end and nudges the ball to point for a single.

    A play and a miss to a short ball outside off from Lyth - and the sixth ball is clipped away in front of square leg for four.

  3. Close of play at Cardiffpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Glamorgan 153-5 v Durham 471-9 dec

    No further play will be possible at Sophia Gardens, and the Durham dressing room must be feeling frustrated.

    A win is still a possibility tomorrow, though, providing the weather is kind, with Glamorgan still 318 behind.

    Kiran Carlson will resume on 46 and Chris Cooke 32, a partnership that the north-east county need to end early.

  4. Postpublished at 17:46 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Middlesex 274 v Notts 364 & 89-4

    Maiden from Andersson. A little fortunate as the last ball was short, wide and pushed into the off side field.

    James tries to force Hollman away off the back foot through the off side and gets an inside edge to mid wicket for one.

    Crawley c Pepper b Porter 170 (Kent 288-6 v Essex 451-5 dec)

    Zak Crawley falls for 170Image source, Rex Features

    Zak Crawley's millionaire innings is brought to an end!

    It needs a super ball from Jamie Porter to dislodge him, though, as it moves in and then straightens enough to take the edge of Crawley's bat.

    He had batted superbly before that, full of imperious shots, especially through the onside with 27 fours and one six off Simon Harmer in his 183 balls at the crease.

    That innings is exactly what Crawley is all about - his highest first-class score for his county.

  6. rain stops play

    Rain stops play at Tauntonpublished at 17:44 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Somerset 441 & 41-0 v Lancashire 554

    Bad light has given way to rain in the west country.

    We may do well to get back on the field tonight as Lancashire's hopes of forcing a wicket begin to recede.

  7. Postpublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Yorks 72-3 (target 201)

    McAndrew is back on and Hope pulls a short ball imperiously through square leg for four.

    He made that look so easy. So much time to play the shot.

  8. wicket

    Hollman strikes in his first over! Top of off stump. Lovely.

    Slater is bowled through the gate trying to block and Middlesex have four.

    The lead is 178. Lyndon James is the Notts number six.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Hammond c Waite b Tongue 15 (Worcs 157 v Gloucs 231 & 162-3)

    Miles Hammond gets himself in a tangle after initially contemplating a pull shot and Josh Tongue has his third wicket of Gloucestershire's second innings and Matthew Waite takes the catch at mid-on.

    Graeme van Buuren is the new batter and the visitors lead by 236.

  10. Postpublished at 17:35 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Yorks 65-3 (target 201)

    Sussex have turned to the spin of Jack Carson.

    His first ball is carved through point by Lyth for one.

    The second is horribly short and swung away to square leg by Hope for four.

  11. Postpublished at 17:32 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Middlesex 274 v Notts 364 & 88-3

    This is a handy Notts partnership for the fourth wicket - currently worth 34.

    39 now as Clarke drives Andersson behind square on the off side for four.

  12. Postpublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Yorks 59-3 (target 201)

    Three runs off the latest Hudson-Prentice over.

    Lyth holds the key for Yorkshire here. The team will be in all sorts of bother if he is prized out tonight.

    Hope lashes Crocombe away to backward point for one and Lyth survives an lbw shout at the end of the over - which brings Yorkshire four leg byes.

    Billings b Harmer 1 (Kent 268-5 v Essex 451-5 dec)

    Sam BillingsImage source, Rex Features

    That is an absolute beauty from Simon Harmer!

    An off-spinner's dream delivery, as it pitches outside off-stump, turns sharply past Sam Billings' bat and knocks over middle stump. Magic!

    Harmer now has four wickets and a catch and he is turning the screw on Kent single-handedly.

  14. Postpublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Middlesex 274 v Notts 364 & 81-3

    Runs for Joe Clarke - who gets four with a push through cover point and four more with a steer past gully, both off the bowling of Ryan Higgins.

    A no ball from Martin Andersson at the other end.

  15. Postpublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Worcs 157 v Gloucs 231 & 154-2

    Miles Hammond leg glances the final ball of Josh Tongue's over for four after a Chris Dent single at the start took the Gloucestershire total to 150. They are now 228 to the good.

    Cox c Harmer b Bracewell 27 (Kent 267-4 v Essex 451-5 dec)

    Jordan Cox has to go, picking out the man at gully.

    He tries to steer one from Doug Bracewell backward of square but does not get on top of it and Simon Harmer has a good pair of hands. He doesn't shell many.

    From 212-1, Essex have chipped away quite nicely.

  17. Postpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Kent 267-3 v Essex 451-5 dec

    If you are going to bowl on Zak Crawley's pads - just add four to the score without the effort of bowling.

    Doug Bracewell makes that mistake and Crawley gets his first boundary for a while.

  18. Postpublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Yorks 51-3 (target 201)

    Crocombe drifts into the pads and Adam Lyth pats the ball away through square leg for four.

    That's the Yorkshire 50 in 91 balls.

    Crucial knock from the Yorkshire and former England opener - who has 33.

  19. Postpublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Middlesex 274 v Notts 364 & 63-3

    Joe Clarke is hit on the pad by Martin Andersson and a huge appeal is turned down.

    A few spectators are giving it out from the Grand Stand.

    The replays show the batter was struck just outside the line.

  20. Postpublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Worcs 157 v Gloucs 231 & 146-2

    Back on at New Road where the umpires think the light has improved a little bit. Dillon Pennington bowls to Chris Dent and Gloucestershire will hope the bulk of the 26 remaining overs can be bowled so they can try and stretch this lead towards and possibly beyond 300.
