  1. Get Involved

    Lancs once again struggling to get 9, 10, jack out, they need to change the way they bowl at tailenders? This happens far to often!

    Mark, Manchester

  2. Surrey 124-2 v Essex 409

    Essex aren't happy with the ball and the umpires approve a change.

    Jamie Porter will bowl the first over with the replacement, relieving Shane Snater.

    His first ball is short and Ollie Pope pulls for four - he is 63 not out.

  3. Glam 440 v Leic 152-0

    This might make Mason Crane's 99 less impressive as Rishi Patel and Jake Weatherald make light of Glamorgan's 440.

    A bit like Surrey piling on runs at the Oval, Leicestershire simply went past them, there is a feeling this could happen again here.

    Ryan Hadley has bowled just six overs, the Aussie is back for a second spell against his countryman who is 77*.

    Patel is similarly 75*.

    Run rate still a healthy 5.19.

  4. Another bowling injury?

    Derbyshire 67-2 v Gloucestershire 498

    We have already seen Anuj Dal go down in his delivery stride and be ruled out of this game.

    He was replaced by Luis Reece who joined the match five overs after tea on day one although he had been left out of the game for personal reasons relating to his young son’s illness, he was apparently happy to be the replacement.

    Gloucestershire's loanee Henry Brookes has bowled just five overs in this innings after his career best 89 earlier, but has just left the field not looking particularly healthy.

    Not clear what exactly is wrong, could be cramp, but Ben Charlesworth, Lancashire bound come the end of the season, to bowl now.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Minto c Jennings b Coughlin 19 (Durham 217-9 v Lancs 370)

    Great grab away diving away to his left at second slip and Lancs have a third bowling point.

    Paul Coughlin ends a frustrating little partnership for the ninth wicket as James Minto goes for 19.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Roderick b Evison 40 (Worcestershire 353-7 v Kent 196)

    Joey Evison's delivery stays low and zooms past Gareth Roderick as he tries a wristy turn away and it smashes into the stumps.

    That's a first wicket of the contest for Evison.

    Worcestershire then pass 350 to pick up a third batting point.

    Matthew Waite, who is a fine lower order batter, and debutant Beyers Swanepoel are now at the crease.

  7. dropped catch

    Clarke on 60

    Notts 177-4 v Warks 459

    That just about goes down as a drop but the flipside is that it would have been a worldie had it stuck.

    Dan Mousley is the fielder at short extra cover and he dives to his right to try and take a low chance after Joe Clarke drives loosely at Michael Booth.

    It spills out and rolls across the square to a half about three yards from the prostrate fielder's hands.

  8. 50 runs

    for Dom Sibley

    Surrey 117-2 v Essex 409

    Dom SibleyGetty Images

    Surprisingly, for such a heavy-scoring player, that is Dom Sibley's first half-century of the season.

    It arrives from 136 balls with a push to square leg for one off Sam Cook. His partnership with Ollie Pope is now worth 88.

  9. Women's One-Day Cup update

    Yorkshire have won the first tier-one Roses match, beating Lancashire by 83 runs at Old Trafford.

    Australia's Jess Jonassen was the star of the show, scoring 108 off 122 balls in Yorkshire's 241 all out and then taking 4-30 in her 10-over allocation of spin.

    Seren Smale made 46 for the Red Rose, but only one other batter passed 20 and Claudie Cooper (3-24) ended the game by having Mahika Gaur caught behind - Lancashire all out for 158.

  10. Surrey 110-2 v Essex 409

    Shane Snater is short of a length and Ollie Pope pulls for four despite not making the best contact. Not many deliveries like that in this innings.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Montgomery 28 lbw Williams (Derbyshire 58-2 v Gloucestershire 498)

    Will Williams for man of the match in this game then.

    Matt Montgomery did not commit forward enough to nullify the movement into the right-hander with 'keeper James Bracey up breathing down his neck.

    98 with the bat and now the first wicket, 1-15 off 5.3 overs from the kiwi seamer.

    Skipper Wayne Madsen in for his first proper bat since that agonising injury he suffered the first game of the T20 World Cup for Italy earlier this year.

  12. Notts 170-4 v Warks 459

    Joe Clarke nearly drags on from Ethan Bamber but escapes and restores his composure next ball to elegantly strike through widish midwicket for four.

  13. Openers making hay this April

    Glam 440 v Leic 123-0

    There seem to have been far more runs scored in the first few rounds of the season than previous Aprils, despite the wet winter and the earliest start in the competition's illustrious history.

    Don Topley's stat providers have alerted us to this flesh to add to the bones.

    In the three Surrey Championship games so far in 2026, the opposition first wicket partnership has been worth:Warwickshire (A) 116-0

    Leicestershire (H) 156-0

    Essex (H) 183-0

    New ball wickets have been truly elusive and that is happening in the away side's innings in Cardiff today too, they are already closing in on matching that 156-0 they managed at the Oval.

  14. Notts 165-4 v Warks 459

    Plenty on Joe Clarke's shoulders here at Trent Bridge with his side still trailing by 300 and Warks circling.

    He reached his half century just before tea only to lose his partner Ben Duckett but a 27th first class century would be very welcome here for the champion county.

    He has a willing and able partner in Kyle Verreynne and Lyndon James and Liam Patterson-White to come plus Brett Hutton.

    But if Notts are to reach parity they will need a big one and Clarke is best placed.

  15. Derbyshire 52-1 v Gloucestershire 498

    Just the 446 Derbyshire trail by now as their scoring rate gets up above three an over as Caleb Jewell has got going after that very quiet session before tea.

    Gabe Bell has 1-34 off his eight overs, a few of them being at his Tasmanian colleague of course, a fascinating battle in the sunshine on the Peak District's edge.

  16. 50 runs

    for Ollie Pope

    Surrey 109-2 v Essex 409

    Lovely shot through cover by Ollie Pope, a boundary off Sam Cook which takes him to 50 off 96 balls.

    He made 103 and 83 not out against Leicestershire last week, so his excellent form continues.

    Cook makes a point by beating Pope with a superb delivery at the end of the over.

  17. 50 runs

    50 for Rishi Patel

    Glam 440 v Leic 104-0

    In the same Mason Crane over both openers go to 50 as their partnership passes 100.

    Rishi Patel gets there off his 81st ball with a four off Mason Crane which he pulls aerially through midwicket.

  18. Women's One-Day Cup update

    An unbroken eight-wicket stand of 111 between Orla Prendergast and Kirstie Gordon has carried The Blaze to a three-wicket win over Essex in a game which they looked like losing for a long time.

    Essex made 213 all out but got rid of Tammy Beaumont, Kathryn Bryce, Nat-Sciver Brunt and Amy Jones cheaply as The Blaze slumped to 104-7.

    Bur Prendergast made 69 off 77 balls and Gordon 47 off 62 as they reached 215-7 in the 40th over.

  19. 50 runs

    50 for Weatherald & 100 for Leics

    Glam 440 v Leic 100-0

    Jake WeatheraldShutterstock

    Just 57 balls for his 50.

    He got out on 96 last time out at the Oval on that flat pitch, but continues well here with a four off Mason Crane getting him to the landmark.

    Leic still scoring at 4.41 runs per over, bit of a bowler's graveyard currently in South Wales.

  20. Women's One-Day Cup update

    Somerset make it three wins out of three with a convincing 136-run victory over previously unbeaten Surrey at Taunton.

    Heather Knight hit 103 and Dani Gibson 77 off just 37 balls in their 337-9 and Surrey were bowled out for 201 in the 34th over of their reply despite Alice Capsey's 39.

    The last four wickets went down for five runs including England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who was superbly caught at point by Charlie Dean off Niamh Holland for 38.

    Spinners Lola Harris and Dean took three wickets each.
