  1. SURREY SET 196 TARGET FOR SOUTH LEADERS

    Somerset v Surrey 195-9

    Sunil Narine holes out at deep mid-wicket at the start of the last over of Surrey's innings.

    New batter Gus Atkinson hits Ben Green straight for six, but the Somerset seamer picks up his fourth wicket of the innings and it's very similar to his third.

    Surrey can only add three from the final three and Chris Jordan finishes on 36 not out from 12 balls. Green's final figures are 4-33.

  2. wicket

    LANCASHIRE SET TARGET OF 205 FOR NORTHANTS

    Northants v Lancashire 204-7 (20 overs)

    Lancashire captain Liam Livingstone is run out looking for an unlikely third off the final ball, but it is still something for his team to bowl at in the second innings.

    It looked unlikely to reach 200 at 25-3 but Steven Croft's maiden T20 ton rescued the innings.

  3. wicket

    WICKET - D'Oliveira st Davies b Lintott 50

    Birmingham Bears 196-5, Worcestershire 117-4 (14 overs)

    50 and out for Brett D'Oliveira!

    The recalled Jake Lintott gets a key wicket as the home skipper is gone, stumped.

    Big ask for the Pears now.

    80 needed off six overs.

    A big ask for Mitch Santner and Kashif Ali.

  4. wicket

    DURHAM ALL OUT FOR 178

    Durham 178 all out (20 overs) v Derbyshire

    Nathan Sowter is caught off the last ball of the innings and Durham are bowled out.

    It's a fourth wicket for Zak Chappell who returns career-best figures of 4-41.

    Brydon Carse top scored with 58 for the home side, while the low-slinging arm of Zaman Khan saw him pick up an impressive 4-21 off his four overs.

  5. wicket

    WICKET - Carter c Ellis b Turner 64

    Sussex 129-4 (12.1 overs) v Hampshire

    Another one gone at Hove.

    Oli Carter this time. How often does that happen?Just after losing his partner!

  6. Surrey v Somerset 186-7

    Matt Henry is guilty of sending down a full toss and Chris Jordan flips it away for six before clearing the rope again from a short one next up.

    He hasn't yet and two more maximum end the over which costs Henry 31. Jordan has 34 not out off 10 balls, but he won't be on strike at the start of the final over.

  7. wicket

    WICKET - Bopara b Howell 30

    Sussex 127-3 (11.3 overs) v Hampshire

    Disappointment for Ravi Bopara as he goes just two runs short of a century stand with Oli Carter.

    The Big Bopper gone for 30. But Oli Carter looks well set on 64.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Croft c Zaib b Tye 101

    Northants v Lancashire 193-5 (19.1 overs)

    Steven Croft's great knock comes to an end as he goes for another big hit and is caught at deep midwicket.

    Outstanding effort from the 38-year-old, though. A strike rate of almost 200!

  9. LEICS SET TARGET OF 196 FOR VIKINGS

    Yorks v Leics 195-5

    Louis Kimber reaches 50 off 34 balls with a six at the start of the final over, bowled by David Wiese.

    He adds two boundaries to finish 59 not out and that's been fine recovery by Leicestershire, who add 73 from the final five of their innings.

    Yorkshire have won their last five games, but that score is certainly going to give the Foxes bowlers something to work with.

  10. wicket

    WICKET - Hose c Maxwell b Barnard 36

    Birmingham Bears 196-5, Worcestershire 89-3 (10.2 overs)

    Big wicket for the Bears as former Pear Ed Barnard bags the key scalp of Adam Hose.

    Mitch Santner has come in to join home skipper Brett D'Olivieira.

    Dollys is going well, but the required rate is going up.

  11. 100 runs

    for Steven Croft

    Northants v Lancashire 185-4 (18.2 overs)

    Lancashire batter Steven CroftGetty Images

    There it is, a first T20 hundred for the Lancashire veteran!

    Brilliant batting from Croft as he gets this off 50 balls with five fours and seven sixes and he has put Lancashire in a very good position.

  12. 100 runs

    up for Glamorgan

    Essex v Glamorgan 101-3 (12 overs)

    Billy Root and Chris Cooke are in recovery mode for Glamorgan as they try to set a platform for a late charge.

    Cooke has 19 and Root, whose brother may have done something useful for England today I believe, on 15.

  13. wicket

    WICKET Smith c Dickson b Davey 5

    Somerset v Surrey 153-7

    You can only admire the efforts of the Somerset attack following that impressive 60 by Surrey opener Will Jacks.

    Jamie Smith goes from only the fourth ball he has faced, thanks to a fine sliding catch by Sean Dickson, but Sunil Narine hammers the next for six as the total passes 150.

  14. Durham 161-7 (18 overs) v Derbyshire

    Two wickets in the over for Zak Chappell as Derbyshire continue to take wickets and slow up Durham's progress.

    Durham will want at least 20 from their last two overs.

  15. Kent 228-3 (20 overs) v Middlesex

    Wow! what a finale.

    That is the fourth highest score in Kent's 20-year T20 history - and their second biggest away from Canterbury.

    It beats the 209-5 they scored at Lord's in 2020 - and Middlesex old boy Joe Denly's superb 73 off 37 balls (five sixes and four fours) is his best knock of the tournament.

    This will test the hosts, that's for sure. 229 to win? Eek!!!

  16. Somerset v Surrey 146-6

    Tom Abell takes his third catch of the innings and what a catch it is as he dives full length at deep mid-wicket to remove Jamie Overton for 20.

    Ben Green has his second wicket but Jamie Smith a very handy number eight and finds the boundary to end the over.

    Three more to come.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Mitchell c Lynn b Broad 48

    Northants v Lancashire 171-4 (16.4 overs)

    New Zealand international Daryl Mitchell is dismissed by Germany international Justin Broad!

    That breaks a brilliant stand of 146 between him and Steven Croft after Lancashire were reeling at 25-3.

  18. wicket

    WICKET Mulder c Mike b Revis 31

    Yorks v Leics 164-5

    Wiaan Mulder and Louis Kimber added 53 in five overs but now the South African is gone.

    Matt Revis ends his 17-ball knock, with Ben Mike taking the catch, and Rehan Ahmed is the new Foxes batter.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Abbott c Henry b Davey 2

    Somerset v Surrey 138-5

    Surrey lose another as Sean Abott hits Josh Davey straight, but doesn't get anywhere near enough distance on it and Matt Henry runs round to take a comfortable catch.

    Four off the final ball of the 16th over by Jamie Overton and he has 20 not out from eight so far.

  20. 200 runs

    200 up for Kent

    Kent 204-3 (18.3 overs) v Middlesex

    Another Joe Denly six, as Tom Helm becomes the second Middx bowler taken out of the attack for bowling a second beamer.

    The same happened earlier to Brett Cullen.
