    Even by the historical standards of short form kits, Kent and Somerset have a coupleof shockers on in their televised T20 match right now. I was genuinely pondering if it was some kind of themed bad shirt evening.

    The photo above doesn’t really do them justice, to be honest.

      To be fair, it turned out to be a really good match. Somerset almost chasing down 232 but falling 5 short and ruing the 6 penalty runs they conceded for slow over rate. They were also the victim of a few other questionable decisions but some great hitting and catches were the overriding elements of the match.

      Looks like Glamorgan are going to fall just short of qualifying for the quarter-finals despite a late unbeaten charge until meeting Sussex on Tuesday.

        They need to beat Surrey, and for Sussex to lose right?

          David Willey managed a triple wicket maiden in the 19th over against Northamptonshire and then followed it up with 79 in 44 balls

            Yes, but Sussex are home to Middlesex who are rock bottom of the southern section and have lost seven on the bounce so it looks very unlikely.

            I was wrong about when Glamorgan’s winning run ended, it was at Somerset on Sunday.

            Comment


              Middlesex actually looked well set to stop Sussex at 123-2 after 8.5 overs chasing 215 but then managed to collapse to 184 all out rendering Surrey’s DLS Method win over Glamorgan in a rain-hampered match superfluous.

                Title chasing Surrey may well lose their match against Lancashire and Somerset who are in 2nd place are tonking Essex at the moment. If Somerset win and Surrey lose, Somerset will be one win behind Surrey with the two sides meeting in the penultimate game of the season. Exciting stuff!

                  Essex have got themselves into a better position in that match, requiring another 182 runs with 9 wickets remaining for a successful final day chase - albeit at Taunton where the runs are hard to come by.

                    Surrey v Lancashire meanwhile resumes with the pink ball at 1:30, with free entry to The Oval today. Lancashire need 94 runs. Surrey need 5 wickets.

                      Browne gone for 86, potentially a huge breakthrough for Somerset. That man Jack Leach with the wicket.

                      Comment


                        Not quite sure what Browne was trying with the reverse sweep there - resulted in him scooping it up for an easy catch. Leach getting some wicked turn now.

                          Plum lbw by Overton in the next over traps Westley, very full and fast.

                          Seven wickets remaining, 165 required.

                            Essex now with ten Doeschate batting - he has the ability to bring that target down quickly.

                            Comment


                              Leach bowls Lawrence with a flat one through the gate, just as Essex were getting back on top. Lunch taken - great game.

                                The Surrey-Lancs stream is up too now:

                                And here's the Somerset-Essex link again:

                                With one yet to start and the other at lunch there isn't much to look at right now though!

                                  Play now underway at The Oval.

                                    It's warm and humid here at the oval. Lancs have put on 11 runs so far.

                                    There has been one edge off Clarke that went for 4 and Virdi has had one LBW shout and a catch off of a pad.

                                    I quite like Surrey's aqua one day colours but where has it come from?

                                      Bess is leaking runs to RtD... Essex now require 100 (6 wickets remaining).

                                      Leach's economy is 1.90, Bess's is 3.63.

                                      Meanwhile Lancs require 82 (5 wickets remaining).

                                        Somerset take the new ball. Davey returns to the attack.

                                          Because it looks nice with their traditional brown?

                                          I’ve never really thought that anyone’s short form kit colours have any historical basis really.

                                            Ravi gets away with an outside edge, bounced just in front of the keeper and it's a lucky four. He has 8, with the other four being overthrows!

                                            RtD has his fifty.

                                              Pigeons on the wicket at The Oval!

                                                And Leach has bowled Ryan ten Doeschate!

                                                  Sorry. Deleted it trying to edit

                                                  Morkel got a wicket so Surrey have 4 to get and Lancs need 68.

                                                  Morkel looking dangerous

                                                  Comment


                                                    Just saw one of the slips drop another half chance off Morkel too. Both matches still in the balance.

                                                    Essex need 80 (5 remaining)
                                                    Lancs need 68 (4 remaining)
