    Derbys 20-1 - target 380

    A big shout for LBW by Karvelas against Guest is turned down.

    Three slips and a gully are in place - and Guest pushes a wider ball past gully for a single.

    Reece tucks the next ball round the corner for one.

    Looks like Derby are making the game safe here.

    Middlesex 115 - target 323

    Simpson clubs Keogh through the covers for one to move on to 13.

    At the other end, White bowls round the wicket to Simpson, who short arm jabs the seond ball away through mid wicket for four.

    Lovely shot.

    111. Middlesex get off the nelson straight away with four more flicked to fine leg.

    Somerset 500 v Hampshire 330 & 115-7

    Two in four balls. A beauty from Kasey Aldridge who nearly cuts James Fuller in half. He had to play at it but he's simply nicked behind to James Rew, who has five catches and a stumping to go with his double-ton in this match.

    Liam Dawson is coming in at nine, having scored 141 in his previous match.

    55 runs needed to make Somerset bat again. Three wickets for an innings win over a good team. 48 overs left to do it.

    Jack White continues from the Benham End.

    Angry looking storms around Northwood but they haven't reached Merchant Taylors', fortunately.

    Robson defends against White off the back foot.

    Steady as you go. Still plenty of time left in this game - weather permitting.

    Maiden over.

  7. wicket

    WICKET Brown c Rew b Aldridge 35published at 14:34 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Somerset 500 v Hampshire 330 & 115-6

    Now then. Ben Brown goes.

    Kasey Aldridge has sent one down the leg side and tempted Brown, who has played very positively, hitting eight fours, to follow the ball and send a faint edge through for James Rew to take a smart catch to his left.

    Hampshire still 55 behind. James Fuller joins Nick Gubbins who is there on 28 from 95.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Came c Alsop b Karvelaspublished at 14:33 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Derbys 14-1 - target 380

    A case of Came and went as the Derby opener's innings ends in 19 balls after a loose defensive jab on the back foot off Karvelas which yields an edge through to Alsop at first slip.

    Brooke Guest is in at three for the, erm, guests.

    Lancs 145 & 206-4 v Essex 282 & 292-8 dec

    Lancashire are still playing their shots.

    A beautiful square drive off Doug Bracewell brings four for Phil Salt, and both he and Rob Jones are 12 not out.

  10. 14:45 BST resumption at New Roadpublished at 14:30 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Worcs 242 & 49-2 v Yorkshire 407

    The umpires have decided play can resume in 15 minutes with 48 overs left in the day.

    Yorkshire will be chomping at the bit to get out there and try to take the eight wickets they need for victory.

  11. Postpublished at 14:30 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Derbys 11-0 - target 380

    Four more to Harry Came, but not the most convincing shot as he gets a big inside edge on the drive and the ball flies away behind square.

    He's almost caught and bowled by Karvelas driving the last ball and gets away with a single.

  12. Postpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Middlesex 101-3 - target 323

    Beauty from White, who gets one to bounce and seam away from Simpson on the way to the keeper.

    LBW shout off the 5th ball is turned down.

    A bit high and going down leg.

  13. Postpublished at 14:25 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Derbys 4-0 - target 380

    Three slips in for Karvelas.

    A bright start from Harry Came - who drives the third ball off the back foot through point for four.

    Jack Carson will bowl the second over - to Luis Reece.

  14. Postpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Middlesex 277 & 101-3 v Northants 219 & 389 - target 323

    Ben Sanderson is back on the field after a short absence.

    Rob Keogh is into his 9th over - and his third ball is cut to cover point for four.

    That's the Middlesex 100 in the 36th over.

    One more deflected to square leg - and a sharp pick up and throw from Jack White.

  15. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Glamorgan 403-9 dec v Leicestershire 158-1

    David Lloyd put Rishi Patel down at slip off spinner Mitch Swepson shortly before he reached his half-century and he looks to have done the same thing on 88.

    The returning Lloyd got his left hand to the ball at a decent height after Patel had edged Swepson, but he could not hold on.

    Can Patel make Glamorgan pay?

  16. for Brett Huttonpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Dan Worrall is a very handy number 11 and he clouts Calvin Harrison back over the umpire's head for four.

    Brett Hutton continues and Jamie Overton - on 12 - tries to swing his first ball over mid-wicket, but gets a top edge and Haseeb Hameed clings onto the catch.

    Hutton finished with 5-91 - his fourth five-for of the season and 16th of his career.

    Worrall is left 18 not out and the Notts target will be 297.

    Derbys 0-0 - target 380

    A minimum of 58 overs left.

    Just over a run a ball, then.

    Here comes the Derby openers, Harry Came and Luis Reece.

    Ari Karvelas will bowl to Harry Came.

  18. wicket

    WICKET Bohannon c Porter b Walter 68published at 14:18 British Summer Time 13 July 2023

    Lancs 145 & 194-4 v Essex 282 & 292-8 dec

    Surely that is that as far as Lancashire's run chase is concerned?

    Well, they do still have Phil Salt, who comes to the crease after Josh Bohannon top edges Paul Walter to fine leg.

    An entertaining knock which Lancashire followers wanted to see continue.

    Middlesex 277 & 93-3 v Northants 219 & 380 - target 323

    Jack White returns to the attack in place of Sanderson.

    Simpson defends on the back foot - and then works the fifth ball round to square leg for two.

    Robson turns Keogh round the corner for a single at the other end.

    Simpson nudges the ball off the face of the bat for one more.

    The fifth ball is wider and flicked away through extra cover for four.

    The last ball flies off the pad and Justin Broad dives in from short leg - no bat involved.
