Middlesex v Derbyshire, Essex v Durham and more: county cricket – live | Cricket

Sibley and Smith added almost 100 since Pope suffered a rush of blood, fifties for both in Surrey’s 129-2.

To Edgbaston where Hampshire are 133-2. James Vince hasn’t made a century this season, could this be the day?

They are Sussex recovering well from 34-3 at Hove, with an unbeaten 63 from Ollie Carter in just his second Championship match of the year. Simpson a boundary-laden 40. Sussex 127-3.

The B team is making waves for Lancashire: two for Balderson, two for Bailey, Kent 109-4. Compton is holding things together with an unbeaten 50, just joined by Muyeye.

Brilliant catch and throw at Donald’s second slip, Holden fell for 36.

Results for lunch

Fifties for Adam Leet, Fletcha Middleton and Alex Lees. Durham go-go at Chelmsford, with Simon Harmer’s eight overs costing 49.

Hopefully the photographer was able to capture some CCLive readers here:

Yorkshirewho are yet to win a game this season and sit just above Gloucestershire at the bottom of Division Two, are currently 98-0 against the visiting wooden spooners.

Eaton Bosch arrival at Essex coincides with Ben Allison’s two-match Championship loan to Worcestershire and Sam Cooke’s hamstring injury, along with the possibility that he could be tried out as Anderson’s replacement in the Test squad.

Anderson, whose final Test is fixed at Lord’s in mid-July, has one last chance of four-day cricket next week, in Southport against Nottinghamshire. He traveled to Canterbury with Lancashire yesterday but did not play. Kent is currently 76-2.

And Stoneman chased wide at Lord’s, a super catch from the away man at the slip.

Email! Hello Geoff Wignall: “It’s good to have some red ball action as the nights draw in” [Wash your mouth our right now.]

Re, “Zack Crowley-less Kent off to better start than usual…”: are these two things related?”I couldn’t comment.

However, Lancashire hit back with a wicket each for Balderson and Bailey. Kent 64-2.

Good spread of peoplee basking in the sun in the crowd today, with the promise of beer to come. Middlesex 63-1, ace Derbyshire labor through their oversea.

Ollie Pope confuses his Pom bears with his minions Morceaux, charges down the door and is caught slipping, Surrey 42-2.

In the second division, several early wickets for James Harris at Sophia Gardens, including the dangerous Prithvi Shaw. Marnus plays for Glamorgan. Northants 40-2.

Stoneman and Holden are growing more confident on the field within close range of the Taverna grandstand. Middx 38-1.

Ian Holland race through Sussex, 34-3, Haynes, Alsop and Coles all back to the pavilion.

Both Leith and Bean go through the gears at Scarborough v Gloucestershire, Yorks 45-0.

Gary Naylor with the latest what’s what and who’s who in Blast.

A sunny stroll through Division One in half an hour:

Durham are 30-0 at Chelmsford after winning the toss.

Kent, without Zac Crawley, got off to a better start than usual with 32-1 against Lancashire.

Craig Overton just bowled HH for 15, Notts 26-1.

Ollie Hannon-Dalby grabs an early wicket for Hampshire, Albert for five.

And Rory Burns falls on the third ball of the day at New Road, but Ollie Pope and Dom Sibley have already hit a couple of boundaries, each in their own distinctive way. Surrey 29-1.

Middlesex found themselves in even hotter water when they were accused by the cricket regulator on Friday of “breaching ECB Directive 3.3”. The allegations against CFO Ila Sharma include an incident where the club’s mascot Pinky The Panther was groped at a Blast game in 2022.

Reminded by BTL that Durham’s Bryden Carrs is currently serving a three-month ban from cricket for betting on games.

While Zak Chapple terrifies Middx kicks, a beer festival buzz during this game at Coronation Gardens: “real ale in casks for draft beer from breweries around London.”

Oh my God, Sam Robson goes for 0.

Do it just in time to the Lord’s press box where there is cucumber in the ice water and the coffee is strong. Middlesex won the toss and elected to bat as they did around the Northants, Hampshire, Notts and Durham grounds.
