County cricket: Middlesex v Lancashire, Surrey v Somerset and more – live!

Published


4.28pm BST16:28

And the new ball has been taken. Ollie Pope has 42. Sanga has 86.


4.27pm BST16:27

New balls due at the Oval with Surrey one behind.


4.22pm BST16:22

Levi is out! He made 115 off 104 but has been bowled by Hutton! Northants five down, lead by 250.


4.20pm BST16:20

Sanga has 83…


4.19pm BST16:19

Yorkshire all out for 296! Is that a big batting point to miss? They lead by 77.


4.18pm BST16:18

Bailey, by the way, has eight wickets.


4.18pm BST16:18

What a catch! Robson had played very nicely for 58, but has gone hooking. Diving catch from Jarvis at deep backward-square. Middlesex are 115 for five, lead of 183. Very well placed I reckon. Bit of an audacious shot from Robson but reckon he’s already thinking that there’s a ball with his name on it.


4.10pm BST16:10

ALL RUN FOUR AT LORD’S

Scenes. All run four for Simpson. 108 for four.


4.08pm BST16:08

Starting again shortly at the Oval too.


4.03pm BST16:03

50 for Sam Robson! Pinched single through the covers. 87 balls, six fours.


4.02pm BST16:02

Yorkshire nine down, 11 short of a third batting point.


4.01pm BST16:01

Players are coming back out! 41 overs left. Middlesex 94 for four.


3.56pm BST15:56

A 92-ball ton for Richard Levi! 14 fours, four sixes. Can play. Lead is 215.


3.54pm BST15:54

Not content with nine wickets, Rory Kleinvedlt has ambled out to bat at No6! Northants’ lead is 206, and Levi is nearing a ton.


3.44pm BST15:44

Off for bad light at the Oval: Surrey 249 for four, 20 behind. Sanga has 77.

And off for bad light here too! Robson has 49, and Middlesex are 94 for four. That’s a lead of 162, which I reckon is vast.


3.42pm BST15:42

Northants have lost two in an over to Hitman Hutton! Two Robs, Newton then Keogh. 151 for three, still 194 in front.


3.40pm BST15:40

At tea, Yorkshire are 46 ahead, with two wickets in hand.


3.37pm BST15:37

Northants have moved to 151 for four. Levi has 90, and their lead is 194. Good game for Notts to win from here.


3.34pm BST15:34

Sanga has just nailed Bess down the ground for six.


3.34pm BST15:34

Tea at the Ageas: Essex 118 for three. Lawrence has 37, and they are still 60 behind.


3.34pm BST15:34

Paul McIntyre is confused by Somerset.

“Leach and Bess have bowled 8 out of 65 overs in the Surrey innings,” he writes. :Abell is bowling himself rather than his wicket-takers. What is going on out there?!”

New ball is nine away, and Surrey are four down just 39 behind. One of the game’s greatest batsman is 59 not out. Probably not the time to be bowling part-timers.

3.31pm BST15:31

So this game continues to move on rapidly. Middlesex are 79 for four, but they lead by 147. Voges just went, caught well by McLaren in the gully. It was McLaren who got Malan too, lbw the first ball after the resumption. 44 overs left in the day. Who knows where the game will be?


2.40pm BST14:40

Tea time – be back shortly.


2.38pm BST14:38

Yorkshire lead six down! Bressie getting into the groove.


2.36pm BST14:36

Durham four down suddenly, and still 153 behind.


2.35pm BST14:35

Hearing tea at 2.40 here, with an inspection at 2.55. Might be slightly lighter now than it was 10 ago, but not by much.


2.34pm BST14:34

Westley out! Caught and bowled Dawson … Essex 81 for three. They are still 97 behind.


2.26pm BST14:26

And they are off for light at the Oval too. Surrey 187 for four, 82 behind.


2.21pm BST14:21

Sanga’s into the 40s…


2.17pm BST14:17

Levi is smashing it, and Northants are 65 for one! That’s a lead of 108, just one down.


2.15pm BST14:15

We are going off for light. Middlesex 54 for two.


2.13pm BST14:13

Bit dark at Lord’s now. Middlesex have had a good half-hour, and lead by 121, two down.


2.12pm BST14:12

Yorkshire have a batting point and are 202 for six, 17 behind.
