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.

Josh Tongue's played six games this season - this is the second time he's taken three wickets in an over to clean up a tail, having also taken two in two balls to knock over Sussex. Very handy skillset.

Have known Joe for most of his life. To enter June in the last year of his deal, having not played a first-team game since last August - and then get 2s scores of 124, 98, 167 and 177 inside a fortnight - is proper, proper clutch.
💯 | TON FOR CRACKERS.And there it is! Joe Cracknell has brought up his maiden first-class century off 151 balls - striking 11 fours and a six in the process!. Congratulations, Crackers 👏. MID 358/8. 📺 MATCH CENTRE ⬇️ | #OneMiddlesex.

One from leftfield: expecting Dane Vilas to be Middlesex's interim head coach until the end of the season. Announced on the same night that the county ended a three-year wait - to the day! - for a Blast win at Lord's, by one run.
