No. He's fine. Craig Overton is back to resume his spell.

He bowls round the wicket from the Pavilion End and Rob Yates pushes the ball into cover for one.

Will Rhodes is undone by late movement from Overton as he prods forward and misses outside the off stump.

Batting looks like hard work currently.

Craig Overton pitches it up and swings the ball away from Rob Yates to complete a maiden over.

Migael Pretorius is leg side to Will Rhodes, who clips the ball away for two.

Shoaib Bashir is on the field as a substitute for Craig Overton.

There's no indication of an injury though.

Pretorius beats Will Rhodes for pace outside off.

Dillon Pennington is continuing and he bowls a tidy maiden over to Keaton Jennings.

The new England call-up has given up just three runs from his five overs so far.

One of the great things is that Pennington looks like a fast bowler - tall, strapping, long run up, all big ticks!

Festival cricket is superb and you'd call this a festival ground.

Cheltenham was always absolutely gorgeous. Back in the day a long time it was wonderful to play at Tunbridge Wells.

It's just part of County Cricket and it's in the fabric of County Cricket that we have festival days.

David Bedingham looks to be playing on a different pitch to everyone else.

Tom Taylor has been a handful, but the Durham number four punches the fifth ball of his fourth over effortlessly with a slightly closed bat face.

It absolutely races away through midwicket to the rope.

In the next over Nathan Smith strays onto his pads a little and Bedingham flicks it away for his fourth boundary to move onto 17 from 18 balls.

Smith then gets partial revenge as he beats the bat as Bedingham shapes to drive. The batter gives a little nod to the bowler.

He then repeats the trick with the next two balls but then punches a second boundary of the over - and his 100th first-class boundary of the season.

If anything, the rain has got heavier and now the full set of covers are on the square.

Sigh.

Let me know when summer comes back.

Thankfully, we have the ball back in Southport.

Openers Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings will be quite happy with how they are coping with the Notts attack so far.

It's a bit grey here in Taunton, but the rain appears to be confined to Southampton and London so far.

Good over from Craig Overton, a tad back of a length and swinging the ball in. Just one single off that over.

Migael Pretorius will take over from Josh Davey at the River End.

Did we mention is was County Championship Day today? The clubs are raising the profile of English cricket's oldest professional competition with reduced ticket prices and in some instances free entry.

Maiden over from Migael Pretorius, bowling length on a tight off stump line.

We've lost a ball. Now this is proper festival cricket.

It's been flicked down leg-side, hit a barrier and it's jumped up into somebody's garden.

Can we have our ball back?

We have an early wicket in all but one of our Division Two matches this morning.

Gloucestershire lost Aussie opener Cameron Bancroft for a two-ball duck to Glamorgan strike bowler Timm van der Gugten but Oliver Price and Ben Charlesworth have taken them to 14-1.

Ben Coad removed Derbyshire opener Mitchell Wagstaff for just two and the hosts have moved on to 24-1 against Yorkshire at Queen's Park.

Middlesex had early joy at Leicester as Toby Roland-Jones dismissed Rishi Patel for four and Sol Budinger fell to Ryan Higgins to reduce the hosts to 17-2.

But leaders Sussex have got through the opening half-hour unscathed on 21-0 against Northants with Tom Haines and Dan Hughes unbeaten.

My first thoughts is that the wicket keeper and slips are too deep and on a number or occasions Joe Clarke has taken the ball at around shin high.

There's been one nick off Dillon Pennington which fell just short to second slip and that's telling you that they are too deep.

Shot! Will Rhodes tucks Josh Davey off the hip and the ball beats Jack Leach to the square leg rope for four.

Davey squares Will Rhodes up next ball as the batter plays and misses outside off.

A couple of runs clipped into the on side, picked up by Tom Kohler-Cadmore.

This Taunton wicket looks decidedly emerald green, but low scoring games are a rarity here.

Let's see where we are when the new ball softens.

Three runs to Rob Yates, who follows up a play and miss outside off with three driven through mid off.

Craig Overton bowls a very full line thereafter to Will Rhodes, who defends into the off side.

Bad news from Junction 7 of the M27.

The players are coming off as rain stops play with Hampshire going nicely.

Dillon Pennington has sent down two overs this morning and only given up a couple of singles.

Pennington has taken 29 wickets at a little over 23 in his seven Championship games since moving from Worcestershire during the winter.

Only Essex's Jamie Porter has taken more wickets in Division One.

He claimed his first five-for for Notts against Somerset last week and he is already steaming in this morning.

For those unfamiliar, Pennington is a hit-the-pitch type bowler who can make life uncomfortable for batters.

David Bedingham is the Championship's leading run scorer this season with 888 runs and is off the mark first ball with a boundary.

Tom Taylor won't mind that too much, though, as the ball flies past gully on its way to the rope.

Can the South African get to the 1,000 mark in this contest?
