Henry Brookes suffered a hamstring injury while bowling in Gloucestershire's 10-wicket win over Derbyshire, leading to his return to Middlesex for rehabilitation.

Matthew Waite contributed with bat and ball as Worcestershire wrapped up a convincing 57-run win over Middlesex with a day to spare at Lord's. The all-rounder hit six fours in a crucial 34 to allow the visitors to set an imposing target of 262 on a pitch showing increasingly variable bounce.

Under his leadership, Canterbury have also won two domestic 50-over competitions and are currently second in the Plunkett Shield. "I have always followed county cricket and wanted an opportunity to be a part of it," Fulton said. "The club has a rich history and I can't wait to arrive and get to work on building a cricket team of which the club and supporters can continue to be very proud of."

"I'm delighted to sign an extension with the club, a place that has been home for 16 years and counting now," Roland-Jones told the club's website, external. "I remain as motivated as ever to try and push the standards and restore the club back to its desired position, competing in Division One cricket whilst challenging for white-ball honours. "It was a privilege to lead this great club, and I'm equally excited to slip back into the bowling ranks and assist the new leadership in any way possible."

As we reach the end of the season, the rigours of the season inevitably take their toll on the fast-bowling unit, so to be able to bring someone in of Olly's proven international quality to freshen things up ahead of the County Championship run-in is a huge bonus.

Glamorgan struggled in their first Blast match, collapsing to just 77 runs, with Niamh Holland's 40 being the only significant score as they failed to bat out their overs.

Sam Northeast and Kiran Carlson's centuries helped Glamorgan recover from a shaky start to post 334-7, dominating the match's early stages.
