County cricket: Notts v Derbyshire and more, Bob Willis Trophy, day four – live!

Somerset lost their last four wickets for 13. Jamie Overton 5-48.

Taunton: Somerset v Glamorgan SOMERSET 296 all out (Davies 81 not out; R Smith 3-41) and 290-8dec (Abell 119); GLAMORGAN 131 (C Overton 5-38) and 29-3(C Overton 2-12) and 166 (JOverton 5-48).

Slow going at Chelmsford, but Essex are so far resisting Darren Stevens’ wiles. Alastair Cook and Nick Browne plodding on after the early wicket of Jamie Porter (last night’s nightwatchman). 42-1 need another 160.

Middlesex have declared at 248-6, giving Surrey two and a bit sessions to score 313 or survive. Five of the six wickets to fall went to young left-arm spinner Daniel Moriarty, who was born in Reigate but represented South Africa at U19 level in one Test and one ODI in 2016. Fifties for Andersson and Gubbins.

Somerset have grabbed another, it is an Overton, of course. Jamie celebrates his autumn move to Surrey with his fourth wicket of the innings. Glamorgan contemplate lunch, but it looks a long, long way away, 157 for 7, or (ahem) 299 to win.

They’re back out at Trent Bridge, and Gloucestershire are making a good fist of their second innings at Bristol – George Hankins still there 54 not out. However they lead Worcestershire by just 14 and need to bat most of the day.

“Would it be terribly cheeky,” taps Paul Billington, “to suggest to Charles Seldrick that Somerset get at least one mention in Vic Marks’ excellent dispatches, almost every week? As I type, I am attempting to recreate the “winking emoji” face to show that this is definitely meant in jest.”

Vic wears that badge with pride.

“OK, so feeling a bit left out,” sobs Charles Seldrick, “a 4 for Gubbins at 11:07 gets a mention but wicket fell at Taunton at 11:18, no mention…. are Somerset not exciting enough to be worth a mention…”

I know how this goes, soon you’ll be complaining that Middlesex got the biggest bowl of ice-cream, and got to stay up late.

Will this do as a sop?

A fifth wicket for Dan Moriarty on debut! Gubbins and Anderson – Middlesex lead 278. Wickets too, at New Road, with Lancashire looking vulnerable against the Championship wooden spoonists. Currently have a lead of just 22 with 6 wickets in hand.

Not county cricket but…Pakistan . I was chatting to a journalist who has watched them during their warm-up games. Says their bowling is a match for England’s, especially young Naseem Shah, but their batting is fragile. Their squad for the first Test starting tomorrow:

Azhar A (c), Babar A (vc), Abid A, Asad S, Fawad A, Imam, Kashif B, M Abbas, M Rizwan, Naseem S, Sarfaraz A, Shadab K, Shaheen A, Shan M, Sohail K and Yasir S.

Gubbins finds the gap to send Amar Virdi’s first ball for four, then cuts his third for four more, as Middlesex start at a trot.

Rainwatch: no play before lunch at Chester le Street, which will be taken at 12.30. All other matches in play.

Good morning from a wet August Tuesday; the final day of the this round of the Bob Willis Trophy. We had one result yesterday, as Sussex blew away Hampshire. Glamorgan are in deep trouble at Taunton against Somerset, as are Durham as Yorkshire restart needing only 68 to win. Essex need 202 in a day, after Kent collapsed to Simon Harmer yesterday afternoon; Middlesex are in a good position at The Oval against a depleted Surrey; and Derbyshire, 126-1, have a chance of battling on a flat pitch at Trent Bridge. Lancashire and Gloucestershire need to bat better second time around and honours even-ish at Edgbaston.
