Sunday's domestic cricket

County Championship

Worcestershire 277 v Northamptonshire 63-3 (Day 1)

Worcestershire are unable to force another breakthrough in a final 23-minute mini-session following a rain hold-up. Adam Rossington is 30 not out at the close for Northants, with South African Richard Levi on 11. Debutant George Rhodes is given the final over of the day, and it's s tidy one, costing him three runs.


Somerset 236 v Middlesex 51-1 (Day 1)

It's been quite a day at Taunton, which finally comes to an end at 19:00 BST. A late change of pitch was the main talking point with Somerset finding themselves batting on a strip of a type that normally makes seam bowlers purr like a cat that's just won a free trip to the country's biggest cream production facility.


Having bowled the home side out in 67 overs, Middlesex lost Sam Robson to the seond ball of their reply, but Nick Gubbins (31*) and Stevie Eskinazi (7*) play out the final overs to the close.


Hampshire 304-4 v Warwickshire (Day 1)

And that is it for the day at Edgbaston, where Hampshire are in a healthy position, thanks to the 155-run stand between Liam Dawson (116) and Adam Wheater, who will start day two on 89 not out.


Keith Barker (2-58) was the pick of the bowlers for Warwickshire, who had to cope without paceman Boyd Rankin. The Ireland paceman had to go off with a back problem after bowling just a single over.


T20 Blast

YORKSHIRE BEAT DERBYSHIRE BY ONE RUN

Yorkshire 166-6 v Derbyshire 165-8

Matt Critchley hit a six from the final ball of the game, but it was all in vain for Derbyshire, who fell agonisingly short against Yorkshire.

They began the final over needing 13 to win, but Alex Hughes and Shiv Thakor were both dismissed, leaving Critchley with an impossible task.

Kane Williamson made 65 off 45 balls for injury-hit Yorkshire, who were without England batsman Gary Ballance (groin), but Derbyshire were well in the hunt at 80-1 before Hamish Rutherford's dismissal for 44 in the 10th over.

Adil Rashid took 3-20 with his leg-spin and the home side came up just short after slumping from 151-4 to 159-8 in the space of 10 deliveries. 


DURHAM BEAT LEICESTERSHIRE BY FIVE WICKETS

Leicestershire 146-6 v Durham 147-5 

Phil Mustard finishes 75 not out as Durham clinch their fourth T20 Blast victory with nine balls to spare. The left-hander hit four sixes and four fours in his 50-ball knock and shared a stand of 86 in 9.5 overs with Gordon Muchall (32) after Ben Stokes was out for 11.

England paceman Mark Wood took 1-25 on his comeback from injury, but it was leg-spinner Scott Borthwick who undermined Leicestershire's hopes of defendable total, claiming 4-18.

Lewis Hill top-scored for the home side with an unbeaten 31 from just 15 deliveries.


GLOUCESTERSHIRE BEAT GLAMORGAN BY NINE WICKETS

Glamorgan 119-6 v Gloucestershire 120-1 

In T20 terms, that's a cakewalk for Gloucestershire, who go two points clear at the top of South Group with victory over their closest rivals at Cardiff.

Michael Klinger hits the winning boundary off Craig Meschede to finish 56 not out, made from 51 balls, with Ian Cockbain contributing 53 to an unbroken partnership of 97. 

Spinner Graeme van Buuren took 3-19 earlier in the game to restrict Glamorgan's progress with the bat, and even though Graham Wagg made 32 not out off 23 balls, their total never looked enough once the two Gloucestershire batsmen were into their stride.
