  1. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 21:44 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 147-7 (17 overs)

    Hasan Ali drills Imad Wasim just off straight for a much-needed boundary, and then sees Shaheen Shah Afridi drop him just in front of the square leg boundary. He parries the ball back infield to at least save the four.

  2. Middlesex need 26 in 18 ballspublished at 21:43 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Essex 225-6 v Middlesex 200-8 (17 overs)

    Josh de Caires finds a six from Matt Critchley but then holes out for 12.

    Required rate no problem but it's the bowlers having to get Middlesex home.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Hill lbw b Chappell 2published at 21:42 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Derbyshire 231-4 v Leicestershire 151-6 (16.1 overs)

    A 23rd wicket of the season for Zak Chappell as Lewis Hill is trapped lbw.

    A formality now, although Peter Handscomb is still there to give Leicestershire the tiniest of tiny hopes.

  4. Glamorgan will need 83 from 36 ballspublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Hants 97-2 (9.2 overs) v Glamorgan

    They'll get back out at 21:55 BST for a six-over chase.

    Glamorgan's target will be 83.

    Huge for Hampshire if they can defend this.

  5. 30 off 24 deliveries neededpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 139-7 (16 overs)

    Jake Lintott and Hassan Ali may not be the batters that Bears fans would want to see chasing a target with not much remaining, but they have nurdled a few off the rest of Jake Ball's over.

    Matt Carter raced in towards a chance off Lintott but it fell to earth just in front of him.

  6. Middlesex need 37 from 24 ballspublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Essex 225-6 v Middlesex 189-7

    Josh de Caires lifts Sam Cook for six then four and Middlesex are back on course.

  7. wicket

    WICKET Yates c Clarke b Ball 65published at 21:37 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 135-7 (15.1 overs)

    Rob Yates scoops Jake Ball's first delivery up into the offside, and Joe Clarke scrambles forward to clutch a superb catch millimetres above the turf!

  8. Middlesex need 50 in 30 ballspublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Essex 225-6 v Middlesex 176-7 (15 overs)

    Middlesex were scorching towards this huge target.

    But Ryan Higgins - 61 from 24 - and John Simpson - 26 from 14 - have both gone.

    So the lower order now need to bring them home.

    But after Simpson's wicket, Matt Critchley took two wickets in an over for Essex.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Kimber c Haider Ali b Scrimshaw 9published at 21:36 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Derbyshire 231-4 v Leicestershire 139-5 (14.4 overs)

    All over bar the shouting in Derby.

    Louis Kimber tries to go big but just goes high and Haider Ali grasps the gift. The Foxes now need almost 20 an over. Not happening.

    Derbyshire closing in on a victory that would leave them with a winner-take-all home game against Worcestershire Rapids on Sunday in terms of quarter-final qualification.

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 135-6 (15 overs)

    Imad Wasim, who earlier forced an important run out for his side, goes for just four from the 15th over as the needle nudges back to Outlaws just a touch.

  11. Resumption at Canterburypublished at 21:35 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Kent 37-1 (4 overs) v Sussex 228-7

    Back on at the St Lawrence and down to a 10-over chase.

    The revised DLS target is 129.

    And movement from the groundstaff at the Ageas Bowl too...

  12. 37 needed off six overs by Bearspublished at 21:33 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 131-6 (14 overs)

    Shaheen Shah Afridi goes for just four runs off that over, excellent stuff but I'd say the Bears are favourites at the moment.

  13. 50 runs

    for Handscombpublished at 21:32 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Derbyshire 231-4 v Leicestershire 134-4

    Nice knock from Leicestershire opener Peter Handscomb.

    He's kept the visitors in with a slight sniff but they are going to need to slog some sixes sharpish from here on in. 98 needed off 36 balls.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Welch b Zaman 11published at 21:29 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Derbyshire 231-4 v Leicestershire 127-4 (13.3 overs)

    Straight through Nick Welch's defences, clean bowled by Zaman Khan.

    Leicestershire need 105 from 39 balls. Unlikely.

    Rob Yates had begun to struggle a bit until he pulled Steven Mullaney high over backward square leg for six.

    It's down a run a ball now, but here comes Shaheen Shah Afridi to resume his spell - he has 4-17 off two overs so far!

  16. Somerset beat Surrey by 18 runspublished at 21:27 British Summer Time 30 June 2023
    Breaking

    Somerset 208-5 v Surrey 190-9

    Josh Davey closes out the game very well, conceding 11 from the final over.

    A comfortable win for Somerset and they're confirmed as South Group winners.

    Tom Banton made his best knock of the campaign, scoring 84 from 44 balls.

    Surrey never really threatened in the chase and their qualification bid will now go down to the final game against Essex at The Oval on Sunday.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Bethell run out 27published at 21:25 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 118-6 (11.3 overs)

    Brilliant stuff from Imad Wasim!

    At backward point, he drops to his left to pick up and fling the ball back to Tom Moores, who breaks the stumps with Jacob Bethell short of his ground!

  18. wicket

    WICKET Ackermann c Zaman b Thompson 9published at 21:23 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Derbyshire 231-4 v Leicestershire 113-3 (11.5 overs)

    Foxes falling apart a tad.

    With the run rate in danger of going sky high, Colin Ackermann decides to follow it - but only finds Zaman Khan on the boundary.

  19. Postpublished at 21:22 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Notts Outlaws 168 v Birmingham Bears 109-5 (11 overs)

    Calm, sensible stuff from Rob Yates and Jacob Bethell gives the Bears more momentum in their hunt for 169.

  20. Surrey need 30 in six ballspublished at 21:22 British Summer Time 30 June 2023

    Somerset 208-5 v Surrey 179-9 (19 overs)

    Can Chris Jordan pull off something extraordinary?

    He bangs Ben Green for six second ball of the 19th.

    Two and a dot. Boundary needed.

    But he takes a single to keep the strike for the final over.
