The sun continues to shine on Costa del Manchester on what is definitely a batting day.

Josh Bohannon got to a nicely controlled 56 but was out LBW to an ugly attempted pull off Ollie Price's off-spin in the only wicket to fall this afternoon.

Marcus Harris has got to his half-century and a flurry of boundaries, including three in an over off Price has moved him to 73.

Gloucestershire have used six bowlers today, but no Cameron Green. The Australia all-rounder is in his fourth of five games for the county, but has not turned his arm over in the middle as his big frame patrols the outfield, with the word being that he is not yet ready to bowl.

With Beau Webster making his debut for Warwickshire today, Green may be pushed to get in the Australia team for the World Test Championship final at Lord's on 11 June against South Africa.

Lancashire are starting to get on top against Gloucestershire thanks to Marcus Harris.

The Australian has moved onto 68 and the home side are now 162-3 at Old Trafford.

Glamorgan are also well placed against Derbyshire on 187-3, but Kent are not so much at Lord's where they have just been skittled for 129 by Middlesex.

Rishi Patel (80 not out) and Ben Cox (25 not out) are building a really handy sixth-wicket partnership for leaders Leicestershire. They're 181-5 against Northants.

Ed Barnard has had Ben Sears' off pole in his crosshairs for most of that over.

He's very close to getting rewarded as Sears edges towards first slip who can't stop it running between him and keeper Kai Smith.

Would it have carried to Smith if he'd dived?

Smith jumped in front of Alex Davies this morning and grassed a potential catch so you can understand his reluctance but he might have got there had he gone for it as it was never reaching Rob Yates.

At the start of the next over, Michael Booth has just tried to make Jonny Bairstow sniff leather but the home skipper drops his hands and rocks out the road.

Hants v Durham 182-4

Felix Organ is on, so you might say Hampshire are pulling out all the stops.

Just three singles from Organ's first over of off-breaks, but no exaggeration to say the home side could really use a wicket here.

Ollie Robinson and Graham Clark have now added exactly 100 for this fifth wicket.

All of a sudden, Ollie Robinson advances to his first half-century of the season, pulling and cutting Liam Dawson for three successive boundaries and then driving a single to finish the over.

Robinson gets to 50 from 66 balls and he and Graham Clark have done well to pull this Durham innings around from 82-4.

Bears skipper Alex Davies has just used the drinks break to call a huddle and spell a few things out to his players.

It's not going to be a rant - the Bears are still in a very good position - but probably more of a reminder of the good things they've been doing and how they've got them where they are in this match.

Warwickshire just needed that mental reset, you feel, with Jonny Bairstow and Jordan Thompson going well.

Sonny Baker is now going to have to be really careful here after he bowled a beamer at Durham's Graham Clark. It was an accident and probably the result of the hot weather and a sweaty hand.

But the moment in which he delivered the no-ball seemed to have an impact on his composure. That's because his next four deliveries were pulled by Clark to the legside boundary for four.

The over brought up the 50 partnership between him and Ollie Robinson and it also brought up the 150 for Durham too.

The pair have led a nice fightback following the loss of Colin Ackermann, just after lunch for nine. They were 82-4 at that point.

Middlesex captain Toby Roland-Jones has just picked up the 33rd five-wicket haul of his career.

Kent are in tatters at Lord's on 112-9.

Leicestershire opener Rishi Patel is driving the Division Two leaders against Northants. He's up to 73 with the Foxes on 166-5.

Gloucestershire's Ollie Price has just picked up the big wicket of Lancashire number three Josh Bohannon at Old Trafford. Bohannon is out for 56 to leave Lancashire 121-3.

Glamorgan continue to build a good platform against Derbyshire. They're 166-3.

Warwickshire started this session so well with two wickets in two overs and two balls.

But we had 13 overs since then which has been the longest a partnership has gone so Yorkshire are just trying to wrestle it back a little bit.

Yorkshire 155-6 v Warwickshire

Minimum effort, maximum reward for Jonny Bairstow who helps himself to another boundary - his fifth - to a very gentle invitation from an Ed Barnard loosener.

It's wide and screaming 'whack me' and Bairstow does just that. He leaves his feet where there are and waves the middle of his bat at it and it disappears through cover at great speed to take him into the 30s.

Jordan Thompson continues to offer elegant support. He's just bookended Michal Booth's over with tasty boundaries to bring up the 50 partnership and the 150.

The pitch is drying out. The green bib now has a bleached rectangle running down the middle.

Hants v Durham 149-4

That's the 50 partnership between Graham Clark and Ollie Robinson - and it arrives in bizarre fashion.

Sonny Baker, bowling around the wicket, loses his grip and unleashes a beamer towards Clark's head.

Fortunately the batter ducks out of the way in time and the umpire signals the no-ball.

Baker is struggling here with his length and Clark capitalises by cracking him for four successive boundaries. That's a pretty expensive over, going for 19 in all.

Sonny Baker hasn't been at Hampshire all that long and maybe he forgot to bring his preferred footwear with him from Taunton.

It's the second time the seamer has fallen over in his follow through and, in general, he's not really found any consistency to his bowling so far today.

Durham's fifth-wicket pair, meanwhile, continue to build their partnership - 42 so far added by Ollie Robinson and Graham Clark.

An innings of starts so far for Essex.

30, 22, 20, 26, all in and all out between 20-30, not what you want from your top four really, a fair bit for numbers five and six, talented strokemaking all-rounders though they both are, to do to even get up to one batting bonus point at this rate.

Former Derbyshire man Matt Critchley edges past the slips off Jack Leach who continues to keep things tight from one end.

Jonny Bairstow is living a touch dangerously.

In Ethan Bamber's previous over he under-edged a cut that fell millimeters short of keeper Kai Smith.

In Bamber's next he finds the edge of the Yorkshire skipper's bat again - but again it's not carried as Alex Davies at first slip collects on the half-volley.

Bairstow's soft hands saved him there.

Bairstow's fast hands then flick Bamber through mid-wicket for four.

Classy.
