There is actual play up the road from Taunton at Bristol, where Gloucestershire have advance briskly from 80 for 6 to 124 for 6, Ben Charlesworth unbeaten on 47. Their promotion looks in the bag though, with Glamorgan unable to get on the field today at Durham, who are 262 for 8 in their first innings. And at the Oval, Notts have finally got rid of Scott Borthwick, caught by Jake Ball off Steven Mullaney for 137, and Will Jacks, lbw to the same bowler for 17. Rikki Clarke has biffed three fours and a six though, and Surrey are 380 for 6. Derbyshire are 110 for 4 replying to Middlesex’s 260.
Play not abandoned yet. The umpires are going to have another look at 4.30pm. These are my straws and I’m clutching at them. Of course it’ll start getting dark by 7. Because, you know, it’s late September, the perfect time of year for Really Important Cricket.
