Lancs lose their way against Warks slipping from 166-0 to a sub 50 run first innings lead

Surrey march on with an innings victory over Northants

Honours even in the Institutional Racist derby..... well maybe not honours, but something even

Sam Curran operating solely as a batter these days

Pujara out for 3

Fletch was sent out to face one over for Notts after Middlesex were bowled out with just that one over left in the day..... or at least I think that's what happened

He went on and scored a fifty this morning

and, of course, he scored a fifty in the frst innings too

he becomes the first cricketer to score a fifty batting at 11 and a fifty batting at 1 in the same match

and for good measure he took a quick couple of wickets to leave Middlesex 0-2 chasing 500 and odd

lots of rain disrupting things darn sarf

Sussex v NZ rained off too.

Hampshire had a 69 run first innings lead against Somerset and could win by an innings- 25/5!

Stand of 32 brings Somerset close.

They've avoided the innings defeat! Hampshire need 1 to win!
A collapse worthy of Durham.

Or England.

Hants go second.

after posting 440 in the first innings, Leics somehow contrived to lose the match by an innings

that must be a fairly exclusive club

hat trick for Tom Price of Gloucs against Kent

and then nearly another for Jacob Duffy for Kent against Gloucs. 3 wickets in 4 balls as Gloucs lost 2 nightwatchmen, one of whom was said Tom Price who got out for nought the ball after surviving the hat trick

this is a match where Kent scored 14,000 runs before losing their 4th wicket, followed by 11 wickets falling in the final 20 overs of the day

what a strange game cricket can be

meanwhile, over at Taunton, Somerset have used 13 players in their match with Sorry.

2 concussion subs in consecutive innings. Davey when batting and Overton when bowling. One is unfortunate. Two feels extraordinarily unfortunate

Was Overton's brother who whacked him on the head with a bouncer. How about that for sibling love? Apparently he showed delayed concussion the following day and was pulled out the game.
