Paul Grunill, Phil Cartwright and Steve Mather

  1. 50 runs

    for Joe Weatherley

    Kent v Hampshire 119-3

    Joe Weatherley becomes the second Hampshire batter to reach 50 today.

    Into the 14th over at Canterbury.

  2. 6 runs

    Glamorgan v Essex 137-4

    Kiran Carlson tries a quicker, flatter delivery but Paul Walter has plenty of time to hoist it away over mid-on for six.

    The Essex left-hander is 42 not out, Matt Critchley has 11 and 12 are gone in the innings.

  3. Bears 87-5 v Northants

    Freddie Heldreich can do no wrong at the moment.

    Dan Mousley goes back to try and pull the spinner, but is too early on the shot and the ball strikes his back leg, giving the umpire the formality of upholding the Northants appeal.

    Only nine overs left for the Bears and Heldreich has 3-22 from three.

  4. Derbyshire 80-3 v Notts

    A big wicket for Notts captain Steven Mullaney.

    Haider Ali was heading towards a half-century but he falls eight runs short of a fifty, picking out Calvin Harrison on the fence.

    Eight overs of the innings remaining and Wayne Madsen is still there for the home side on 16.

  5. wicket

    WICKET: Banton c Bracey b Taylor

    Glos v Somerset 127-2

    Another one for Gloucestershire.

    After Will Smeed left with the last ball of the tenth over after that magnificent knock, Tom Banton is dismissed with the first of the eleventh.

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Tom Abell are still motoring the score on nicely though

  6. 50 runs

    for Dawid Malan

    Yorks 123-1 v Worcs

    Dwid Malan only managed two in Yorkshire's last match against Leicestershire following three scores in the 80s and 90s.

    He's back on song tonight and reaches 50 off 33 balls with a cover drive off Pat Brown for four.

    Two more boundaries follow in the same over and Malan is 57 not out, with James Wharton on 60. They have so far added 112 and there are nine overs left in the innings.

  7. Glamorgan v Essex 105-4

    Essex reach 101 at the half-way stage of their innings, but they have now lost another wicket.

    Michael Pepper drives Peter Hatzoglour for four but tries to sweep the next one and is adjudged leg-before.

    Pepper made 42 off 19 balls and Matt Critchley is the new batter.

  8. wicket

    WICKET - McDermott c Muyeye b Stewart 57

    Kent v Hampshire 102-3

    Ben McDermott's innings is over.

    The Hampshire opener smacked his second six of the evening off Grant Stewart, but he then holes out at deep cover off the very next ball for 57 off 30 balls.

  9. Sussex v Surrey 6-1

    Surrey have lost an early wicket, with Nathan McAndrew bowling opener Will Jacks.

    Jacks only made five from three balls as Sussex make the first breakthrough in the opening over.

  10. Bears 72-4 v Northants

    Glenn Maxwell is outGetty Images

    Another wicket for Freddie Heldreich as Glenn Maxwell carves the ball straight to David Willey at mid-off.

    Poor shot by the Australian, who is gone for 15. A lot riding on Sam Hain now as the Bears look to post a defendable total.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Smeed c M Taylor b Zafar 94

    Glos v Somerset 122-1

    But next ball Will Smeed is gone. He goes for another big shot over the leg side but his time finds the safe hands of Matt Taylor out on the rope at square leg.

  12. Glamorgan v Essex 84-3

    A miserly spell of bowling from Glamorgan comes to an end as Paul Walter lifts Kiran Carlson over mid-wicket for four.

    He is 12 not out, Michael Pepper has 32 and nine over are gone.

  13. 6 runs

    Glos v Somerset 122-0

    Will Smeed goes long and straight for another six. He's 94 off 34 balls....

  14. Leics v Durham 70-3

    We get our first sighting of England's Rehan Ahmed bowling for Leicestershire and it's a tidy first over from the teenage leg-spinner, with only four singles from it.

  15. 50 runs

    for Ben McDermott

    Kent v Hampshire 89-2

    Hampshire opener Ben McDermott gets to his second half-century of this year's T20 Blast off 27 balls.

  16. 50 runs

    for James Wharton

    Yorks 85-1 v Worcs

    James Wharton is only playing his fourth T20 game for Yorkshire, but there is his first 50, brought up from just 20 balls with a single off Michael Bracewell.

    He has hit two sixes and seven fours so far and the Vikings will be hoping he can keep this going.

  17. Yorks 73-1 v Worcs

    Great spell for Yorkshire with 32 runs coming from overs six and seven.

    James Wharton ends Adam Finch's second over with 4-6-4-4 and is 39 not out.

    Dawid Malan does the damage in the next, bowled by Mitch Santner, with two fours as he moves to 27.

  18. 6 runs

    Glos v Somerset 102-0

    Jack Taylor with a full toss to Will Smeed... and you know the rest.

    It's over long-on for six more.

    Tom Banton then gets in on the act with a maximum to take Somerset past 100 inside nine overs.

    Gloucestershire are staring down the barrel here.

  19. Bears 56-3 v Northants

    Northants call up slow left-armer Freddie Heldreich, their leading wicket-taker in the competition with 10.

    It's 11 now as Alex Davies holes out to Saif Zaib at deep mid-wicket.

    He made 32 off 18 - that's a big blow for the Bears, but they now have Sam Hain and Glenn Maxwell together.

  20. Leics v Durham 63-3

    One brings two at Grace Road as Graham Clark quickly follows Michael Jones back to the pavilion.

    A key couple of wickets for Leicestershire as they were really starting to motor for visitors Durham.
