The county cricket season starts on 12 April and the BBC Sport website will again broadcast live commentary of every match under a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board.

All commentaries will stream online and via the BBC Sport app, and for the first time will be available worldwide on desktop, mobile and tablet.

Every game in both divisions of the County Championship as well as the T20 Blast and One-Day Cup competitions will be covered.

There will also be regular radio coverage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra.

As in previous years, there will be regularly updated scorecards for every game on the BBC website, which will also carry the latest news and local radio interviews from around the county circuit.
