A nightmare start for Glamorgan chasing 162 to win at Bristol. They are 25-2 from four overs having lost openers Eddie Byrom and Sam Northeast.

Gus Atkinson opening from the pavilion end.

And he gets planted into the pavilion by Tawanda Muyeye second ball!

Gorgeous clean strike.

Then Daniel Bell-Drummond flicks four past midwicket and cuts hard for a second boundary.

Superb start from Kent.

Usama Mir hits a much-needed six for Worcestershire, but goes next ball, caught by Jordan Thompson off David Wiese for nine.

Wiese now has 3-16 and the Rapids are 146-7 in the 18th, chasing a target of 176.

Pieter Malan isn't making three figures for Middlesex, he flashes at a wide and short one from James Fuller and holes out to James Vince for 80 from 45 balls. John Simpson follows him back to the dugout four balls later for two. 165-6 with two overs to come.

Ravi Bopara has 72 from 43 at Hove where Sussex are 160-6 with 12 balls left against Somerset.

Tawanda Muyeye drives the first ball through cover for four.

Great work from Jamie Overton at backward point saves four more.

But no stopping the last ball of the over, blasted over extra-cover almost for six.

Ouch - Durham's Graham Clark takes 24 off Josh Cobb's first over, including two sixes, and the visitors are 27-0, chasing 138 to beat Northants Steelbacks.

Birmingham Bears were set a target of 167 by Leicestershire and are 18-0 after two overs following a six by Alex Davies off Colin Ackermann.

Notts Outlaws have made a more sedate start and are 12-0 in the second, replying to 178-6 by Derbyshire Falcons.

Worcestershire need 42 to win from the final four overs against Yorkshire at New Road - Kashif Ali is 18 not out and Usama Mir has two.

Good luck here Kent!

Sam Curran with the first over for Surrey.

It's not quite Abbott-esque but Pieter Malan is seeing it like a beachball for Middlesex... he has 80 from 44 balls with seven fours and four sixes. The visitors are 160-4 with three overs to come.

Ravi Bopara is trying to keep pace across at Hove, he has 63 from 39 with five sixes. Sussex are 141-6 but Somerset's MATT HENRY IS ON A HAT-TRICK...

He's ousted Michael Burgess and George Garton in successive deliveries...

... but Nathan McAndrew has negotiated the hat-trick ball. What a bonkers night of Blast this is turning into - and we're not even halfway through!

Sussex are 147-6 with 18 balls to come.

An extraordinary windmill shot brings Ben Cox six off Matt Fisher over third man against Yorkshire Vikings at New Road.

Matthew Revis bowls the next and Cox is down the track to smash another maximum baseball-style over mid-on.

It's his last scoring stroke, though, as he holes out to Jordan Thompson at deep mid-wicket and goes for 26 - leaving the Rapids 130-5 in the 15th, chasing a target of 176.

Well that is a slice of history here at The Oval.

A 34-ball hundred from Sean Abbott, equalling the fastest T20 hundred in English domestic cricket.

His previous best was 41 but he's come out and blown Kent away.

Final numbers: 110 not out from 41 balls with four fours and 11 sixes!

Kent are shellshocked.

After a slow start Gloucestershire did exceedingly well to finish on 161-9, fit-again Graeme van Buuren smashed a late 32 from 19 balls to get them there. Dan Douthwaite finished with 4-23 with Jamie McIlroy posting figures of 3-30.

Pieter Malan has bludgeoned his way to 65 at Hampshire with three sixes and six fours. The visitors are 141-3 with five overs still to come.

Ravi Bopara brought up his half-century with a six as Sussex have moved onto 131-4 with five overs remaining.

Another swing and a miss outside off from Abbott.

Then he finds the gap wide of long-on but Joe Denly runs around well to cut it off and they take two.

Final ball squirts off an under-edge past the stumps and they charge back for three.

Kane Richardson with the final over.

A swing and miss first ball from Sean Abbott.

Then a short ball outside off called wide.

A leg side tuck brings a scrambled two with a dive.

And two more driven wide of long-on.

Jafer Chohan has taken his first T20 Blast wicket for Yorkshire, with Jack Haynes caught by Dom Bess for 32, to leave Worcestershire 101-4 after 12 overs, chasing 176 to win.

A final-over six for Harry Swindells helped Leicestershire reach 166-7 after their 20 against Birmingham Bears.

Liam Trevaskis dismissed Lewis McManus and Graeme White in the final over of the Northants innings against Durham and defending a total of 137 all out may be a tough one for the home attack.

Notts Outlaws need to score 179 to beat Derbyshire Falcons at Trent Bridge after the visitors added nine from the final over, bowled by Conor McKerr, to reach 178-6.

Oh dear a disaster in the deep at long-off lets the hit from Jordan Clark slide away for four.

Sean Abbott will have the strike for the final over.

What has happened here from Kent?

What a hundred from Sean Abbott!

A 34 ball ton with 11 sixes!

He whacks Michael Hogan over extra-cover for six and then takes the next down the ground for a flat maximum to reach three figures!

Incredible hitting.

He equals the fastest T20 hundred by Andrew Symonds for Kent in 2004.

An important wicket for Yorkshire at New Road with Jordan Thompson taking a brilliant return catch to remove Adam Hose for 44, who hit a huge six off Jafer Chohan in the previous over. Worcestershire are 88-3, chasing 176 to win.

Rishi Patel has fallen to Craig Miles at the start of the final over and Leicestershire are 153-7 against Birmingham Bears.

Two successive fours by Graeme White have boosted the Northants total, but they are 130-8 with one over left against Durham.

Mattiw McKiernan has just hit a maximum off Shaheen Shah Afridi and Derbyshire are 169-6 in the 19th against Notts Outlaws.

Surrey 194-5 (18 overs) v Kent

Joey Evison comes on with Kent in retrieval mode.

Five from four balls but then Sean Abbott goes swinging again and gets all of it over midwicket for a ninth sixth!

He skies the next but it's shelled at short-third man!

Oh dear what a miss from George Linde.

Sorry Ben... Charlesworth goes for 56 from 39 balls after miscuing Dan Douthwaite into the air allowing the bowler to sprint 15 yards to complete the catch. Douthwaite then gets Zafar Gohar caught in the deep for a two-ball duck.

He follows up by tempting Matt Taylor into holing out to sub Billy Root at mid-off. 149-8 from 19 overs.

Douthwaite takes three in the over and will be on a two-match hat-trick when Glamorgan next play.

High ho! What an over from Sean Abbott against Kane Richardson.

Clears the front dog and heaves leg side to clear deep midwicket and steers past short-third man for four.

And then more big blows - a stand and deliver down the ground for six more and a flat four inside long-on.

What hitting here.

A low full toss is punched past extra-cover for four and then another is whacked in the same region and is parried over the fence by long-off running round.

30 from the over. This is taking the game away from Kent.
