Middlesex have now won 21 of their last 85 games in the Blast and lost 171 of 274 in its history. Matt Boyle, the overseas player, is still nowhere to be seen. Piece from the Kia Oval.

Watching the Tour of Wallonia. Talk about mingingly horrible weather. Guess what I'm thinking?

It's up. And will take a lot of filling in. But it has a nice view of the Roker Riviera in our new kitchen. It's also doing battle with @thecricketer.com wall chart. @WSC.co.uk

I was at this Kevin Keegan event last night. To my joy, his slide presentation featured his BBC Superstars bike crash. He then showed pix of Sir Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Sir Mark Cavendish, joking that they got into cycling because of his famous wobble. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

6 out of 10. Not good. But neither are the pix. Good luck with this. Report back with your scores. Ta.

Restored to airworthy condition last month, Europe’s only flying MiG-17 is moving on after performing at Cardiff. The aircraft is operated by FUBAR Aviation — which is an interesting choice for a company name. www.flightradar24.com/SPMIL/3ff5eb77

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

That's Arne'slot

He worked in a fish factory. This is the fin end of the wedge.

I think the most beautiful trophy in sport.

I love a walk in the morning while the cafes are still putting tables and chairs out. City waking up. All the early promise of the day.

Mixed fortunes for Durham's men a women today, as the men are hammered by Yorkshire. Earlier the women beat Warwickshire.

Dreadful performance from Durham who are all out for 93 - their lowest score against Yorkshire. They lose by a massive 58 runs. Seven players contributed a total of 16 runs between them. Yorkshire make it three wins in a row. Sixth time Durham are all out for less than 100. #BBCcricket

Bedingham is caught off Moeen Ali for 41 by the diving Revis at long off. Durham have it all to do now. They are 62-5 and need another 90 to beat Yorkshire, which looks a long way off from here. A big partnership is needed. #BBCcricket

Not a good power play for Durham. They ended up 11 runs better off than Yokrshire, but at 41-4 are two wickets worse off. #BBCcricket

Lees is out for two and then Robinson gets himself run out for one off a shot which should never have seen him leave bis crease. Durham are in a spot of bother against Yorkshire at 20-3 after 3.3 overs. Target 152. It does look like a sticky wicket. They are struggling to time it like Yorks did.

Clark is caught at mid-wicket by Revis off Ali for 4 in the first over. Durham are 7-1 and need another 145 to beat Yorkshire. #BBCcricket

It's a sticky, slow track and has been used for games already in the last week. But, despite that, I think Durham will fancy their chances in chasing down 152 against Yorkshire. Having said that the women made 140 earlier and I didn't think it would be enough, but it was! #BBCcricket

Yorkshire reach 100-4 in 15.3 overs v Durham. Bairstow was out for 43 earlier and Ali went for three to leave Aldridge on a hat-trick. However Ashraf saw the hat-trick ball away. Wharton has 48. #BBCcricket

The Yorkies reach 50-2 after a sedate 9.4 overs. It comes from a Bairstow six off Sowter and is promptly followed by another as he and Wharton bring up their 50 partnership v Durham. After 10 overs they are 61-2. #BBCcricket

Lyth skies Potts to Aldridge at mid on and is out for 2. Parkinson then bowls Luxton for one. Yorkshire are 10-2 v Durham after three overs. #BBCcricket

Here's the commentary feed for Durham v Yorkshire in the T20. It's a joint commentary from BBC Radio Newcastle and Radio Leeds, with me, Dom James and the boy Doidgey: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke... #BBCcricket

I didn't think they had enough runs at the half way stage but Durham Women have beaten Warwickshire by 27 runs, bowling them out for 113 in 18.1 overs. Spookily Villiers, Graham and Levick all took 2-23! It's two wins in three for the Ds and 4 defeats for The Bears. #BBCCricket

Durham women well on top here as Brewer is caught and bowled for 26 by Villiers. She had been batting nicely. But Warwickshire are now up against it in the 16th over at 100-7. The target is 141. #BBCcricket

Warwickshire edge the power play thanks to a couple of loose overs from Durham's women. They are 42-2 compared to Durham's 37-2. #BBCcricket

Durham Women finish on 140-5 from their 20 overs v Warwickshire. I am not sure that is going to be enough. We shall see. #BBCcricket

Windsor run out by Stonehouse for 31. End a partnership with Heath of 80 for the third wicket. Heath has since moved onto a career-best 61. Durham Women 115-3 v Warwicks after 16 overs. #BBCcricket

Bess and Windsor have put on 79 runs and Durham Women are 101-2 v Warwickshire. Good partnership for the hosts.

The power play ends for Durham Women who have struggled to 37-2 against Warwicks.

Here's the BBC Radio Newcastle commentary link for Durham women v Warwikshire with me and Dom James: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/c... Durham have won the toss and bat first. #BBCcricket

We have a T20 double header in CLS today. Here's what's happening. #BBCcricket

The Reform-led council said they 'wouldn't provide a penny' for the event - so the trade unions stepped in and managed to raise enough money to make it the biggest Durham Pride in the event's history 👏

Otherwise, the article was perfect

Dolphins at Roker today. And big crowds on the pier to see them. We also went for a pootle up the river to Cox Green.

Lots of people dolphin watching on Roker Pier today.

Britain. A totally normal place. See also bog-snorkelling, shin-kicking and wife-carrying.

Nothing to see here! A reminder. 20's plenty.

Durham hammered Leicestershire in the sunshine of CLS. It was brutal. #BBCcricket

We have had Durham's fastest team 50 and 100 - both by one delivery. And the fastest individual 50 - also by one ball. Durham were 107-0 and needing another 42 to beat Leicestershire - with 12 overs to go - but Mike has bowled Lees for 45 with his first ball. #BBCcricket

Clark scores the fastest 50 for a Durham player in a T20 - by one delivery. He gets there in 18 balls an it includes 6x6s and 2x4s. Record in an innings is 8x6s. Durham are 87-0 after the power play and need another 62 to beat Leicestershire. #BBCcricket

Clark, dropped on 4 in the first over, then hits four sixes in a Hull over and Durham reach 50-0 in 19 balls, their fastest T20 50. Beats their 23 balls v Notts last year, when they made 231-5, their highest T20 score. They are 56-0 after 4 overs v Leicestershire. #BBCcricket

Leicestershire are restricted to 148-8 by Durham at 7.5 per over. It will be interesting to see how the hosts go about their run chase, but that target is way below par. #BBCcricket
