Understand that Sussex are frontrunners to sign Gloucestershire allrounder Tom Price. Really good cricketer. Big coup if it comes off.

Won't be the only incoming seamer at Glos over the coming months, with a few more going the other way. Dom Goodman to Sussex already done, but others to follow.

Big blow for Gloucestershire to lose Dom Goodman to Sussex. One of several seamers coming to the end of their deals at Bristol, but also one who was expected to form part of their attack next season. Good get for Sussex: 6ft 6in, plenty of potential.

Interview with Dane Vilas, who's done a Masters in sports directorship, a few "semi-internships", a bit of corporate stufff and some work at Wimbledon Cricket Club since retiring 18 months ago. Now, he's in charge at Middlesex until the end of the season:.

Grateful to Matt Milnes for doing this. Three stress fractures in three years since leaving Kent for Yorkshire, approaching the end of his current deal. Very much a victim of last year's Kookaburra rounds. Good guy, no luck. Hope there's better to come.

Feels like he's been around for years, but a second first-class hundred for Dan Ibrahim, who's still only 20. In the last year of his Sussex contract; a big knock.
CENTURY!!! 💯. YESSS, DAN! A gritty innings from the 20-year-old to bring up his second first-class hundred! 👏👏👏

Nice to sit down with Haseeb Hameed, the leading run-scorer in Division One, captaining the leading team in Division One. Been around forever, but still only 28, playing as well as he's ever played and happy with the way that things are panning out.

Dealt an often mediocre hand, kept us up - once miraculously - and turned us into something both bearable and broadly watchable despite everything else. Shouldn't have ended this way, and not convinced circumstances meant we even saw the best of him.

Mason Crane opening the batting for Glamorgan this afternoon. Not even the first time he's done it in first-class cricket. He only needs to walk out at No.7 to complete the entire set. Do it, @GlamCricket.
