Somerset is all out for 226, with Craig Overton scoring an unbeaten 70. Surrey only needs 29 runs to win. Meanwhile, Lancashire is performing exceptionally well, Derbyshire is unfazed by the follow-on, Gloucestershire is making steady progress, and Slater and Hameed are batting nicely. It’s time for me to write up for the paper. Feel free to chat below the line.
Craig Overton hits his sixth six, soaring over the stand and into the car park. His brother Jamie has the task of fetching it. Quite a test of brotherly love. Somerset now leads by 18 runs with a partnership of 71 for the last wicket.
Craig Overton hits Atkinson for six, but is dropped immediately. Surrey will have to bat again, a small victory for Somerset.
Craig Overton gives it his all at Taunton, but Somerset is almost out of their misery. It’s more likely now that his brother Jamie has been brought back into the attack. Somerset is at 191-9, seven runs behind.
Josh Bohannon scores a hundred, his second of the year, in typical style. Lancashire is quickly catching up with the opposition.
Glamorgan enforces the follow-on against Derbyshire after dismissing them for 318. Van der Gugten takes three wickets, while McIlroy, Swepson, and ul Hassan take two each. Leus du Plooy also reaches a thousand runs for the summer with his score of 41.

James Rew scores fifty, a predictable feat for the immovable player.
The battle between the Overton brothers continues at Taunton. Craig stops Jamie in mid-approach to the wicket, distracted by a fly. Somerset is at 131-7, with Rew scoring 47 not out.
Luke Wells scores a hundred, while Josh Bohannon reaches fifty at Old Trafford. Lancashire is at 257-2.
Rain at Scarborough prevents any play today. Both the outfield and the weather have not been favorable.
Ryan Campbell, Durham’s Head Coach, expresses frustration with the weather and discusses Durham’s rise to the top: “It’s frustrating, especially when you come to the outgrounds. You have wonderful supporters here, big crowds, and you want to play cricket. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been fair to anyone this year. We’re clear at the top of the table. We’re striving to be one of the best teams in England.”
Apologies for the mistake, Brooke Guest did not score 131. It was Luis Reece who achieved this score. Sorry to all Brooke Guest fans out there and to Luis Reece.

In Division Two, Gloucestershire is making good progress at Cheltenham with Joe Phillips scoring a half-century.
Apologies to Derbyshire for missing Luis Reece’s hundred. He was out for 131. Derbyshire is at 276-5, with van der Gugten taking three wickets.
Fifty for James Rew, his third in three games. Kent continues to push on, but they have lost Blake for 30. Hutton takes his third wicket. Kent is at 225-5, successfully avoiding the follow-on.
James Vince accepts that the Championship title is unlikely for his team. He acknowledges the tough road ahead and the need to rely on other teams slipping up.
Play abandoned for the day at Scarborough due to heavy overnight rain and unplayable areas on the outfield. Hopefully, better weather in September for the Championship game against Derbyshire.
A second wicket for YouBears, but it may be too late. Middlesex is close to their target. Both wickets were taken by Brookes, while Stoneman remains not out with 38 runs.
We have play at Old Trafford, but rain continues at Scarborough.
Matt Askin, an England Physical Disability player, retires from international cricket after a 13-year career. He played 40 games for England and was part of the squad that won the first PD World Cup in 2015. Askin expresses gratitude for his long international career and looks forward to spending time with his family.
