  1. LANCASHIRE LEADpublished at 11:03 British Summer Time 12 June 2023

    Lancs 145-1 v Hants 142

    What a position Lancashire have got themselves in.

    Hampshire were filleted yesterday and now the hosts have the chance to put the game to bed.

    Phil Salt is on 82, Josh Bohannon 12 and the home side will look to rack up a match winning lead today on the Lancashire coast.

    Two pieces of good news for Somerset supporters... the first is that Craig Overton is fit to open the bowling after limping off with a foot injury yesterday.

    And the second? Overton's third ball of the day has earned the visitors a wicket, with nightwatchman Ben Allison castled by a beauty.

    Feroze Khushi comes out to join centurion Matt Critchley at the crease.

    Kent's bowlers will have been itching to get out there this morning after picking up those two Surrey wickets late last night, but they'll need to be patient for now.

    An early morning shower at Canterbury means the covers are on and play is delayed. Hopefully not for too long, though!

    Morning!

    It's another scorcher out there so we may well see the batters dominate and the bowlers toil.

    But this is county cricket... anything can happen.

    Play coming up in 10 minutes.
