    Durham v Lancashire 87-3

    Six. Six. Gone. Liam Livingstone had just started to warm-up but he's done what Jos Buttler did and skied Bas de Leede to Michael Jones.

    de Leede has 2-28 from 11 deliveries.

    Steven Croft has 29 from 22.

    Notts v Worcs 116-2

    Notts will be glad to see the back of him.

    Michael Bracewell goes back to try and carve Matt Carter through the off-side but misses and loses his leg stump.

    The left-hander faced just 27 balls and hit two sixes and six fours. Mitch Santner comes out to bat and we are in the 10th over.

    Northants v Leics 80-4

    Leicestershire have lost another wicket at Wantage Road with Lewis Hill stumped off Freddie Heldreich for 31. That was good work by Lewis McManus who had to fetch the ball from well outside off stump.

    Louis Kimber, though, strong-arms Heldreich over long-on for six and adds another maximum later in the over as the Foxes reach the half-way point in their innings.

  4. wicket

    Somerset v Middlesex 59-4

    Somerset are sharing the wickets around - and spinner Roelof van der Merwe gets one with his second ball, tempting Middlesex skipper Stephen Eskinazi to hole out to mid-off for 18.

    Peter Siddle picked up the third, clean bowling Max Holden for 22 and Somerset are well on top as we approach the halfway stage of the visitors' innings.

  5. wicket

    Glamorgan v Kent 93-2

    Living in hope: Outlaws being put to the sword

    Worcestershire Rapids are definitely off to a dream start in the competition this year. Three wins in three and now 116-1 off nine overs at Trent Bridge.

  7. Postpublished at 19:06 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Gloucs v Surrey 42-4

    No hat-trick for Matt Taylor as Jamie Smith Clark clips the first ball of the fifth over through mid-wicket for four. Not a bad way to get off the mark.

  8. Postpublished at 19:06 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Essex v Hampshire 17-0

    James Vince became the Blast record run-scorer on Wednesday night as he reached 5,054 and he's picked up where he left off...

    After his Hampshire side were put in at Chelmsford he's helped himself to 16 off the opening over from Aron Nijjar with two sixes and a four.

    Michael Bracewell pushes Steven Mullaney to mid-off for a single and reaches 50 from just 22 balls.

    The Rapids have, though, lost Brett D'Oliveira, who was caught at backward square leg off Samit Patel for 44 following an opening stand of 98.

    Eight overs gone.

  10. Bye, bye, brotherspublished at 19:03 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Gloucs v Surrey 29-4

    Sam and Tom Curran depart from successive Matt Taylor deliveries in the third over at Bristol - Sam bowled by one that may have kept a little low and Tom top edging to mid-off.

    Taylor will be on a hat-trick - but there is more bad news for Surrey at the start of the next over as Laurie Evans falls to David Payne, caught at cover by Tom Smith for 16.

    for Tawanda Muyeyepublished at 19:02 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Glamorgan v Kent 76-1

    The hosts got a breakthrough... Peter Hatzoglu cleaned-up Daniel Bell-Drummond for 19... but Tawanda Muyeye has moved to 50 from 29 balls after launching Prem Sisodiya over deep square.

    Sam Northeast almost produced some magic, catching the ball over the rope in the air and attempting to relay to a teammate, but it hits the deck. He's still saved four runs though as Muyeye trots through for two.

    All go in Cardiff in the opening eight overs.

  12. Postpublished at 19:01 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Derbys 5-0 v Birmingham

    Derbyshire Falcons are under way and find themselves in a familiar position - batting first, as they have been in every Blast game so far this season, after Moeen Ali won the toss and sent them in.

    Also in a familiar place is Henry Brookes, opening the bowling for the Bears. The paceman, who was on loan to Derbyshire earlier this season, goes for five in his first over.

    Northants v Leics 55-3

    Leicestershire are trying to regroup after losing Rishi Patel and Colin Ackermann in the same Ben Sanderson over.

    Louis Kimber has just hoisted the Northants seamer for a maximum over mid-wicket and seven overs are gone.

  14. Worcestershire off to rapid startpublished at 18:58 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Notts v Worcs 87-0

    It's mayhem at Trent Bridge as Michael Bracewell pulls Conor McKerr away for six and then hammers him over mid-wicket for another later in the over.

    Bracewell has 38 not out from 17 balls and Brett D'Oliveira is on 44. Six overs completed.

  15. Postpublished at 18:54 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Glamorgan v Kent 63-0

    Kiran Carlson just put down a tough chance after Tawanda Muyeye flayed Dan Douthwaite over deep extra cover.

    17 off the over, four fours to Muyeye in there, he has 43 from 22.

    63 from the powerplay for the Spitfires who are, er, flying.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Jacks c Price b Smith 6published at 18:53 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Gloucs v Surrey 18-1

    A big wicket for Tom Smith.

    Having been hit for six over mid-on by Laurie Evans, he removes the dangerous Will Jacks - who made an unbeaten 83 in Surrey's previous game - two balls later, holing out at wide long-off.

  17. Postpublished at 18:53 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Somerset v Middlesex 40-2

    Josh Davey isn't having it all his own way - he was kept on for a third over in the powerplay and it's cost Somerset 18 runs.

    Max Holden clubbed Davey back over his head for six, as well as slamming two off-side fours to give Middlesex hope of rebounding from that slow start.

    stand for Worcestershirepublished at 18:53 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Notts v Worcs 66-0

    Michael Bracewell is down the track and hammers a boundary off Lyndon James as he and Brett D'Oliveira post a half-century stand from just 27 balls.

    D'Oliveira celebrates two balls later with a towering straight six off the Notts all-rounder followed by a top-edged four to fine leg. Five gone.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Salt c Trevaskis b Glover 21published at 18:51 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Durham v Lancashire 40-2

    21 off 11 for Phil Salt, including four fours but he's pulled Brandon Glover's second ball to Liam Trevaskis on the deep square leg boundary and has to go. 40-2 from 4.2 overs.

    It'll be Liam Livingstone next, I presume...

  20. Postpublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 2 June 2023

    Gloucs v Surrey 2-0

    Quiet start at Bristol where a wide and a single to Will Jacks is all that left-armer David Payne concedes from his opening over.
