Friday night means T20 Blast cricket, and it returns with a bumper fixture list with eight group games taking place.
Providing the weather stays kind the Natwest Blast is likely to provide another exciting night of Twenty Twenty action with North Group leaders and South Group leaders both in action. There is also the small matter of a London Derby, West Country Derby and a South Coast derby to whet the appetite. It’s set to be a thrilling night of action and we will as always provide you with everything you need to know below. Unfortunately the fixture between Leicestershire and Worcestershire has already been postponed due to a waterlogged outfield. South Group: Surrey v Middlesex Where?
