Monday’s action saw Tom Banton score an unbeaten century for Somerset in their game at Kent in Canterbury while rain would wash out the other game that was set to take place in Southampton. We also look at the fixtures between England and Sri Lanka as well as the squads for the ODIs between the sides.

Hampshire Hawks vs Middlesex

There was no toss as rain would leave the outfield waterlogged.

Hampshire host Surrey tomorrow night while Middlesex host Sussex on Thursday.

Kent Spitfires vs Somerset

Somerset would win the toss and elect to field first.

Daniel Bell-Drummond would be the first wicket to fall as he was caught & bowled by Craig Overton for 28 before Zak Crawley would be caught by Max Waller off the bowling of Lewis Gregory for 39. Joe Denly would be dismissed for 36 off 25 as he was caught by Marchat de Lange off captain Lewis Gregory’s bowling before Alex Blake would be caught by Gregory off the bowling of Overton for 19.

Jack Leaning would be the fifth wicket to fall as he was caught by Tom Lammonby off the bowling of de Lange for 5 before Darren Stevens was caught by Devon Conway off Brooks’ bowling for 8. Adam Milne would be caught by Smeed off Gregory’s bowling for 1 while Qais Ahmad was the final wicket to fall, off the same bowler, as he hit his own wicket without scoring – Jordan Cox (16) and Matt Milnes (4) were the not out batsmen.

Banton and Conway would chase the target down without the visitors losing a wicket with 107 off 51 balls and 51 off 44 balls respectively – breaking the Somerset record for the first-wicket partnership in the process.

Kent’s next game is at Sussex tonight while Somerset are also on the road as they travel to Essex at the same time.
