Very important the last two Warwickshire batters hang around for Beau Webster.

Michael Booth already doing his bit - punching his third ball back past George Hill through mid-on.

But for Beau Webster's bashing, that would've been shot of the day so far.

Booth takes another couple after a square drive through cover.

The Bears nearing 250 and their lead reaches 39.

George Hill has been impressive this morning - hitting testing length at a lively lick.

He almost gets Kai Smith - the Bears keeper plays at one before trying to take his bat away and it comes off the face but bounces just short of Adam Lyth second slip.

Jordan Buckingham's first ball of his next over is just about controlled by Beau Webster as one comes off the outside edge and runs away through a vacant third/fourth slip area.

Webster then stands up and bashes one off the back foot through cover for his 12th four.

He's up to 78.

To the last ball of the over Smith edges one again through the empty third/fourth slip area - again for four.

Annoying for Yorkshire. Very annoying.

The lead is 31.

It's been a morning so far that Somerset will be quite pleased with because they might have feared the worst. But at the moment the pitch is playing a bit more like it did yesterday post-tea than it did before tea.

Is it settling down? We'll see.

Graham Clark and George Drissell are continuing to build their partnership in Southampton.

At 152 it's nearly a record sixth wicket stand for Durham against Hampshire. The target to beat is the 156 put on by Dale Benkenstein and Ben Harmison in CLS in 2007.

Clark has 119. His highest total is 124. Drissell is on 66, which is his highest score in a championship game.

Hampshire have had one breakthrough this morning - they managed to get the ball changed. It was only 25 overs old. A ball change yesterday brought a wicket four deliveries later.

Perfect morning thus far for Warwickshire and one that's left Yorkshire wondering how they can throw a blanket over the fireworks we've had, led by Beau Webster.

The all-rounder has taken his partnership with Kai Smith past 50 - the third 50-plus stand in the last four wickets for the Bears - as the pair look to take this lead out further.

Jordan Buckingham's next over is more water tight and nearly brings a breakthrough - Smith chips one in the air high and to the left of a diving Dom Bess at mid-one. Bess gets there but can't hang on to a tough chance.

This is a sort of field that you do see here as we get through towards the middle of the game later on because the wicket does start to get quite slow.

It's an area in where if you stay low then you'll pick up a low catch at some point.

Yorkshire 205 v Warwickshire 214-7

The Bears have the lead here - now this game gets REALLY interesting.

Jordan Buckingham is into the attack and his first ball is lofted, gloriously over mid-off for four by Beau Webster.

Two balls later Webster thrashes off the back foot square of the wicket for another boundary. Swear that had a trail of fire behind it...

Next ball is short and wide and Webster climbs in again. Absolutely HAMMERED.

Man, he hits it hard.

Webster up to 65. The Bears lead by nine.

Kent have just picked up three wickets in 15 balls at Lord's as Middlesex collapsed from 177-4 to 178-7.

The well-set Ben Geddes and Ryan Higgins went in successive overs before Zafar Gohar fell for one.

A good fightback from the visitors this morning, led by Kashif Ali and George Garrett.

Beau Webster has rode the bounce very well in his first innings for the county.

A brisk half-century, a run a ball more or less and this could be a very significant contribution in this match

This is going to be a pretty important day because the minimum requirement for Somerset would be to get within 20 or 30 runs of Essex. They don't want to concede a significant lead batting last.

But if things went well for them this morning - Josh Davey can hang around with Andy Umeed and just start to blunt the attack a little bit and then it could yet be a decent day.

It's another nice batting day and we wait to see if the pitch is going to play as it did yesterday. We suspect it will do but you never know, it's a bit of an unpredictable one. It's a pitch that started green but has offered turn almost from the start which is quite unusual.

Yorkshire 205 v Warwickshire 199-7

There have been one or two hairy moments but Beau Webster's complied a battling and important half-century on debut.

It's come off 54 balls with eight fours and that ramp/scoop for six.

He nearly didn't get there - on 48 he was almost cleaned up by a grubber from Ben Coad that beat everyone, including Jonny Bairstow, and went for four byes.

But he heaves one off the back foot over the solitary slip to the rope to bring up his half-ton.

Bears trail by six.

Solid but watchful start from the two Durham men this morning who have shored up their overnight position to the tune of 18 runs with few alarms.

George Drissell has moved to 66 and Graham Clark to 115. Brad Wheal and Kyle Abbott are the men in charge of disrupting that progress.

Andy Umeed has survived a leg before shout, on 7, and replays suggest it was a good decision from the umpire to keep his finger in his pocket with the ball maybe just missing off stump.

It was a dodgy decision to offer pad rather than a bat and this has been a sketchy opening from the Somerset batter with a leg side flick hitting the keeper's fingers and an edge falling short of second slip.

George Hill is bowling really well.

Yorkshire will be obviously wanting to finish off this Warwickshire innings as quickly as they can and try and take a little bit of a lead

Kai Smith gets off the mark with a sweetly-time clip off his pads out to the square-leg boundary.

That should send a message to his partner at the other end that he can be trusted to hold an end up.

You may remember Smith superb 130 in last season's One-Day Cup against Worcestershire as proof of his promise.

He's also already notched twin half-centuries this summer against Durham.

He picks up another two runs to finish the over from Ben Coad.

Bears 19 behind.

Lancashire batter Marcus Harris could only add two to his overnight 165. The Australian has just been bowled by Gloucestershire paceman Ajeet Singh Dale to leave Lancashire 361-6.

Glamorgan's Colin Ingram also went early, for 81, against Derbyshire. The hosts are 348-7 at Sophia Gardens.

Ryan Higgins has just gone past fifty for Middlesex who are in control against Kent. They're 177-4 at Lord's and lead by 48.

Northants have made a steady start in reply to Leicestershire's 304 all out, moving to 26-0.

Josh Davey has absolutely pinged Jamie Porter off middle stump and bang in the middle of his bat, sending the ball racing through the leg side fielders for four.

You would be hard pressed to pick out the nightwatchman here, the Scotland international looks to be enjoying himself.
