    Sussex v Worcs 356-6 (target 386)

    Joe Leach is the new batter for Worcestershire and he swats the final ball of Ari Karvelas' over for four.

    Leach is very capable down the order. Where's your money?

  2. wicket

    WICKET Waite c Coles b Karvelas 18published at 18:06 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 350-6 (target 386)

    The game swings again!

    Matthew Waite pulls Ari Karvelas into the leg-side and is caught in the deep.

    Worcestershire still need 36 with only four wickets left. Does Azhar Ali need to get a move on now? The Pakistan batter has 87.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Kimber lbw b Lamb 0published at 18:06 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Glos v Leics 211-5 (Target: 221)

    Leicestershire making a bit of a meal of getting over the line here.

    Louis Kimber pinned in the crease by Danny Lamb and given out, not obstructing the field this time but plumb lbw.

    10 to win.

  4. 15 off the overpublished at 18:02 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 349-5 (target 386)

    That's a great over for Worcestershire.

    After pumping Nathan McAndrew for four and six, Matthew Waite punches a full toss through the covers for another boundary.

    The Pears need 37 off six overs.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Handscomb c Charlesworth b Zafar Gohar 3published at 18:00 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Glos v Leics 206-4 (Target: 221)

    Peter Handscomb tries to hit Zafar Gohar's left-arm spin out of the rough and spoons a catch up to mid-off.

    Leicestershire just 15 away now. Time no issue.

  6. Worcs need 41 off 39 ballspublished at 18:00 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 345-5 (target 386)

    That's put Worcestershire back in the driving seat!

    New batter Matthew Waite whips Nathan McAndrew through mid-wicket off the back foot to the rope and then follows it up with a big six over square-leg.

  7. wicket

    WICKET D'Oliveira c Ibrahim b McAndrew 3published at 17:49 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 325-5 (target 386)

    All three results are still possible you know!

    Worcestershire captain Brett D'Oliveiira clips Nathan McAndrew to Dan Ibrahim at mid-wicket.

    The Pears are still 61 short of their target with less than nine overs remaining.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Ahmed c van Buuren b Lamb 71published at 17:47 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Glos v Leics 197-3 (Target: 221)

    Rehan Ahmed can't quite finish the job but a sparkling innings has got his side close.

    76 balls, 12 fours and a six.

    Leicestershire need just 24 now in 13 overs.

  9. Worcs need 61 off nine overspublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 325-4 (target 386)

    Worcestershire are still favourites but they won't want this required run-rate to climb much higher.

    They've only taken four off the last two overs from Henry Shipley and Fynn Hudson-Prentice.

    A couple of boundaries would change all that...

  10. 50 runs

    for Colin Ackermannpublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Glos v Leics 174-2 (Target: 221)

    No stopping Leicestershire here it seems.

    Colin Ackermann goes to a 56-ball fifty with eight fours.

    A slap through cover off Ollie Price the latest of them.

    47 needed in 15 overs.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Hose c Carter b Hudson-Prentice 47published at 17:33 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcestershire 317-4 (target 386)

    Adam Hose takes a big swipe at Fynn Hudson-Prentice and gets a thick edge through to the keeper.

    It's been an excellent innings from Hose - 47 off 40 balls - but he'll be disappointed he couldn't see his side home.

    Captain Brett D'Oliveira joins Azhar Ali in the middle. 69 needed off 12 overs.

    Adam Savoury: This Ben Foakes chap looks decent. Maybe England should take a look.

  13. Postpublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 311-3 (target 386)

    Worcestershire are in complete command of this chase.

    Adam Hose moves into the 40s with a nice whip off his legs off Henry Shipley - his sixth four.

    76 more needed off 13 overs.

  14. 50 runs

    for Rehan Ahmedpublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Glos v Leics 150-2 (Target: 221)

    Leicestershire are cruising with 71 needed in 18 overs.

    And 18-year-old Rehan Ahmed is taking them home at the moment.

    He's got stuck into Glos captain Graeme van Buuren with four boundaries off his left-arm spin.

    A classic cover drive, a top-edged cut past slip, a sweep and a gorgeous lofted drive over cover.

    He then sweep Ollie Price off a big top edge for four to reach fifty in 61 balls with nine fours and a six - whacked down the ground off Zafar Gohar.

    Foxes asking rate below four-an-over now.

  15. Worcs need 90 off 90 ballspublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 296-3 (target 386)

    Adam Hose isn't hanging around at Hove.

    He clips Nathan McAndrew for four off an inside edge, and then finds the boundary again in Henry Shipley's next over, cutting the New Zealand paceman behind point.

  16. Worcs need 99 to winpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Sussex v Worcs 287-3 (target 386)

    A big over for Worcestershire as 15 come from it.

    Adam Hose punts Jack Carson over long off for six and follows it with a couple of fours - one a streaky reverse sweep, the other a conventional sweep shot that is better timed.

    99 needed off 17 overs.

  17. Postpublished at 17:04 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Glos v Leics 119-2 (Target: 221)

    Leicestershire remain on course to pinch this game at Bristol.

    Rehan Ahmed, 36, and Colin Ackermann, 21, are ticking over nicely with 102 more needed in 23 overs.

    Can Gloucestershire nip out a couple wickets to give the Foxes something to think about?

  18. DURHAM DRAW WITH GLAMORGANpublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 14 June 2023
    Breaking

    Durham 630 v Glamorgan 390 & 426-7

    Glamorgan see out the final day with the bat and it's handshakes all round in this Division Two contest.

    Durham needed six wickets - they only took three.

    Chris Cooke (134 not out) and Timm van der Gugten (52 not out) were the heroes for Glamorgan with an unbroken stand of 153.

  19. NOTTS DRAW WITH WARWICKSHIREpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 14 June 2023
    Breaking

    Notts 155 & 464-6 v Warks 571-9d

    Wicketkeeper Michael Burgess takes his pads off two bowl two overs and then Warwickshire captain Will Rhodes says no more and offers his hand to Joe Clarke.

    Notts have done it! What a wonderful second innings rally to get out of this deepest of holes.

    They trailed by 416, were asked to bat for five sessions to save the game and have seen out 153 overs to rescue a draw.

    Clarke has led the resistance superbly with a maiden double-century.

    He finishes 229 not out and had great support from the middle order all day.

    The Bears will wonder how they haven't been able to complete victory in a game they've dominated from ball one.

    But this flat final day pitch has seen them take only three wickets in 127 overs.

    Warwickshire lose ground on leaders Surrey, while Notts pull a little clearer of the bottom two.

  20. Postpublished at 16:59 British Summer Time 14 June 2023

    Durham v Glamorgan 426-7 - lead by 186

    This has been some effort from Glamorgan's batters to save the game at Chester-le-Street.

    Chris Cooke and Timm van der Gugten's stand has now gone past 150 and the captains will surely shake hands very shortly.
