Kent v Worcs 543-7
His second half-century of the season.
We might be getting another milestone shortly too with Jason Holder on 98...
Hampshire 503 all out v Durham
James Fuller, one ball after his six, advances to try and smash Peter Siddle for another huge shot.
The batter misses, the bowler hits and the Hampshire innings is finally over with a third wicket for the Australian as Fuller goes for 27.
Centuries from Ali Orr and Tom Prest have set them up for a very big score, but now it is up to the Durham batters to respond.
Hampshire 503-9 v Durham
James Fuller flicks a Peter Siddle delivery over fine leg for a maximum.
That is the 500 up for the home side. Fuller has 27 off only 21 balls.
Surrey 119-1 v Warwickshire 343
Dom Sibley has had to be patient to reach his 50, but that has never been a problem for him.
He pushes one off his legs away for a single to get to the landmark off 108 balls.
He has two centuries already this season - can he get to number three?
Glamorgan 217-4 v Sussex 278
A third century of the season for Colin Ingram.
He got there in 147 balls, with 15 fours and two sixes.
From where his team was earlier this morning it's been a wonderful knock you have to say.
His best score this season is 132 not out so I'm sure he'll be aiming to better that now.
Hampshire 493-9 v Durham
A lot of hard yakka for the Durham bowlers on their return to Division One this season.
134 overs against Warwickshire.
133 overs against Essex.
146 overs in this innings.
Who said Championship cricket was soft?
Hampshire 481-8 v Durham
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio Newcastle
I think there is plenty of runs to be had here and it could be looking parity come tomorrow tea time. I'm trying to work out how the game ends in a win for somebody.
In order for Hampshire to press on their advantage, they're going to have to run through Durham twice.
I'm struggling to visualise a situation where Durham lose by an innings so I think that Hampshire will have to bat again.
Glamorgan 203-4 v Sussex 278
Colin Ingram and Kiran Carlson take Glamorgan over 200 runs in their reply.
They are 75 behind Sussex.
Hampshire 481-9 v Durham
Nicely bowled Callum Parkinson!
A bit of flight and a hint of turn is too good for Kyle Abbott, who is comprehensively bowled.
A fourth of the innings for the slow left-armer.
Kent v Worcs 513-7
Jason Holder frees his arms and helps himself to a fourth six to move on to 80 not out.
Matthew Waite is within 10 of a half-century as the Pears continue to pile on the runs.
Gloucestershire's Zafar Gohar has just dismissed Luke Proctor for 32 to leave Northants on 91-4.
They are trailing by 314 with Saif Zaib the new man in.
Glamorgan pair Colin Ingram (81*) and Kiran Carlson (72*) are still going strong in Cardiff, with plenty of boundaries from both putting the hosts on 191-4.
They are behind by 87.
After that blistering start to the day by Sussex and Jayden Seales in particular, the visitors are now wondering where a wicket is going to come from.
Hampshire 478-8 v Durham
A tribute to all Saturday cricketers from Felix Organ and James Fuller!
Two batters at the same end, we all love it!
Fuller edges a Callum Parkinson delivery past slip and sets off running. He gets two before the ball is hauled back just before the ropes.
Felix Organ thought there was three and charges down to the striker's end.
Fuller doesn't move and Organ is on his way as the bails are removed at the bowler's end.
Notts 104-4 v Lancashire 331
Two wickets in two overs for George Balderson!
Tom Moores, in his first Championship game of the season, is keen to get bat on ball and he gets an inside edge nick in trying a big drive.
A big few minutes for the Red Rose.
Surrey 100-1 v Warwickshire
A typical Ollie Pope shot as he works one legside for a single with a nice flourish of the bat.
He is already on 11 from 13 balls as the 100 comes up for Surrey.
Hampshire 475-7 v Durham
The old Aussie warhorse Peter Siddle keeps bustling in and gets a second wicket of the innings.
Ben Brown gives himself room for a big shot but doesn't get the contact he wants and it is in the hands of Callum Parkinson at midwicket.
Notts 102-3 v Lancashire 331
Lancashire have not seen off the captain, but the in-form Joe Clarke.
A super ball from George Balderson feathers Clarke's bat and Matty Hurst does the rest.
The man with two centuries and a double so far in 2024 has to go.
Notts 101-2 v Lancashire 331
Dave Bracegirdle
BBC Radio Nottingham commentator
Haseeb Hameed gets his 50.
It's come from 99 balls for the man with the number 99 on the back of his Nottinghamshire shirt.
For him it's just the case of the proverbial, just get your nut down and get another one now.
Lancashire will be keen to see him off.
Kent v Worcs 481-7
Jason Holder sends Jack Leaning to the boundary fence for four runs to bring up a half-century.
In the next over he sends Matt Parkinson for a maximum - his third six of the innings.
The West Indies man is really enjoying himself now and the Pears are nearing 500.
Notts 101-2 v Lancashire 331
Haseeb Hameed tucks one off his legs to collect the one run he needs to reach his 50.
Coming off 99 balls with eight fours, it's his first of the season and it has come against his old county.
More significantly, it's his first since he was made captain of Notts' red-ball side.
Surrey 85-0 v Warwickshire 343

Both of these sides bat very deep, they've got really strong batting line-ups all the way down.
But you look at what Surrey have got in the bowling attack and how many options they've got to take a wicket.
It might be trickier for Warwickshire.
