  1. Stumps for us toopublished at 18:15 BST 28 June 2016

    And that is where we'll call time on today's county cricket live page.

    Fingers crossed the rain stays away tomorrow with many of these games heading into the final day.

    Should that happen, Josh Hunt will be the man steering the ship through the County Championship waters from around 10:45 BST on Wednesday.

    Until then, we'll leave you with the undoubted man of the day - Middlesex opener Nick Gubbins, who got to celebrate a maiden double century before the rain arrived at Lord's.

    Kent 379 & 32-0 v Derbyshire 574-9 dec

    And that could well be that for today's action as the players are taken off at Canterbury and the covers are being dragged on at the St Lawrence Ground.

    Weather permitting, it's set up to a tough day for Kent to try and survive tomorrow.

  3. Kent edge closer to closepublished at 17:59 BST 28 June 2016

    Kent 379 & 29-0 v Derbyshire 574-9 dec

    Right, argue the case all you wish over that #TennisXI but the selectors' decision is final.

    Meanwhile, at Canterbury Tom Latham survives a huge appeal for a caught behind off Wayne Madsen's off spin as the light continues to fade.

    The #TennisXI has been decided...

    Middlesex 419-5 v Lancashire 513

    After around an hour's delay, they've decided to call it a day at Lord's and rain has halted Middlesex's pursuit of Lancashire's mammoth first innings score.

  7. Kent watchful so farpublished at 17:40 BST 28 June 2016

    Kent 379 & 8-0 v Derbyshire 574-9 dec

    Tom Latham and Sean Dickson doing their best to safely negotiate their way to the close of play without alarm for Kent.

    Latham survives a loud appeal from Ben Cotton and co for Derbyshire.

    Eight more overs left in the day as long as the light holds out at Canterbury.

  8. What's the worst that could happen?published at 17:34 BST 28 June 2016

    We all dream of catching a six in the crowd, but one man's dream turned into a nightmare at the England v Sri Lanka ODI at Bristol on Sunday.

    After getting himself into the perfect position to catch a big hit from Upul Tharanga, the ball slipped from his grasp, with the moment captured by the cameras.

    Watch for yourself and try not to cringe.

    Right, there might not be a lot of cricket going on still, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been some serious hard work going on.

    The selectors have been furiously scribbling on notepads making their final selection for the #TennisXI but there's still a couple of places up for grabs.

    Here's a 15-minute warning for you to get yours in before the squad has to be named.

    Covers still on at Lord's but just before rain stopped play, Middlesex opener Nick Gubbins had plenty to celebrate...

  11. Declaration for Derbyshirepublished at 17:05 BST 28 June 2016

    Kent 379 v Derbyshire 574-9 dec

    Derbyshire have finally decided to bring their first innings to a close with a declaration at 195 runs ahead of Kent at Canterbury.

    That'll give their bowlers around 15 overs at Kent's top order before the close this evening (weather permitting of course).

    ...and from the Ageas Bowl to Grace Road in Division Two where the outcome is exactly the same.

    Only two days gone in that fixture remember.

    Another one bites the dust sadly in Division One and there will be no more play at the Ageas Bowl for today.

    Hampshire still trail by 82 runs with six second-innings wickets remaining.

    Get the impression rain might be around for a while in the capital as the roof on Centre Court at Wimbledon has been closed following Andy Murray's first round straight sets win.

    While we're on the tennis, time for a few more of your #TennisXI name suggestions from #bbccricket, external

    A decent squad coming together...

    Kent 379 v Derbyshire 560-8

    The only place it's currently not raining is Canterbury, but Shiv Thakor's reign at the crease for Derbyshire is finally over.

    A 170-ball knock is ended as Kent captain Sam Northeast takes the catch at long-on.

    Derbyshire closing in on a lead of 200.

    Fantastic stuff from Nick Gubbins.

    A maiden first-class double hundred for the left-hander, which he brings up with a pull shot for four off Kyle Jarvis.

    Just in time too from the opener as rain does now arrive at Lord's and off they go..

    At Grace Road, we had been due an inspection at 16:30 after the players came off earlier around 15:00.

    But, it looks like the rain has returned... 

  18. Pressing on at Lord's (for now)published at 16:24 BST 28 June 2016

    Middlesex 408-5 v Lancashire 513

    No rain as yet just north of Regent's Park where the players are back out after tea.

    Nick Gubbins (190 not out) creeps ever closer to a maiden first-class double century....

  19. 100 runs

    100 for Shiv Thakorpublished at 16:18 BST 28 June 2016

    Kent 379 v Derbyshire 528-6

    Derbyshire continue to pile on a huge lead at Canterbury after tea and now Shiv Thakor has joined the list of centurions in this match.

    A long, long way away from former England boss Roy Hodgson giving a very uncomfortable press conference right now...

    That's his second century of the season off 147 balls.
