  1. 'Best conditions of the match so far'

    Notts 148-2 v Warwicks 258

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    This is definitely the best conditions of the match so far. Blue sky and a little bit of warm sunshine.

  2. Essex 76-0 v Somerset 433

    Somerset continue to ring the bowling changes and now Tom Lammonby is coming on, bowling a shade above military medium pace.

    He starts well wide of leg stump and Paul Walter can't get a bat on it.

    The fourth ball is pushed away off side for one.

    Just the five bowlers used in the first 17 overs.

  3. Notts 143-2 v Warwicks 258

    Spinner Taz Ali is on and Joe Clarke is forward to defend into the leg side.

    Ed Barnard bowls to Haseeb Hameed and the Notts captain chips the ball past him and down the ground for four.

    Not quite out of the middle but runs notwithstanding.

    Single run into the off side. Joe Clarke punches a single into cover and Hameed keeps the strike with a single pushed to mid off.

  4. 50 runs

    50 via a six for Martin Andersson

    Kent v Derbyshire 633-5

    Martin Andersson sends Matt Parkinson for a maximum to bring up his half-century in style.

    Not a hint of nerves about reaching that particular milestone.

    And to be honest he and Derbyshire have little to be nervous about.

    Anuj Dal fancies a half-century too no doubt and is on a run-a-ball 37.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Sales b Wright 8 (Northants 95-3 v Leics 429)

    Dragged on! A horrid way for a brief innings to end for James Sales.

    Back of a length and well wide of the off stump from Chris Wright but a wicket nonetheless.

    Time for Saif Zaib to have a bat.

  6. Essex 57-0 v Somerset 433

    Somerset skipper Lewis Gregory brings himself into the attack in place of Jake Ball.

    Paul Walter tries to whip the ball away leg side but doesn't clear the field.

    He gets the fifth ball way behind square leg for one.

    Dean Elgar survives a big LBW shout on 24 to end the over.

    Straight but looked a bit high.

  7. Derbyshire runs just keep on flowing

    Kent v Derbyshire 617-5

    Does anyone know how long Derbyshire plan to bat for?

    I'm just wondering for the sake of Kent's poor bowlers.

    The figures do not make for pretty reading.

  8. 'Neither side has batted well'

    Hants 248 v Surrey 147 & 19-1

    Mark Church
    BBC Radio London commentator

    This hasn't been the game that we were expecting in the fact that neither side has batted very well.

    This game is to be taken by the scruff of the neck at the moment.

  9. Notts 127-2 v Warwicks 258

    Tight! Joe Clarke is forward to Michal Booth, pushing into the off side for a single, just beating the return throw from mid off.

    There's a few more spectators in this afternoon, compared to this morning.

    One can only speculate as to the reasons why.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Wells lbw Crane 78 (Glamorgan 265 v Lancashire 205-4)

    Glamorgan's Mason Crane has definitely been in the groove since lunch and has his second of the afternoon.

    Crane gets one to turn in nicely and it raps Luke Wells on the pads in front of the stumps and up goes the umpire's finger.

    Wells was the prize wicket for Glamorgan having made 78.

    It's nicely poised now with Lancs trailing by 60, with six wickets intact.

  11. Essex 52-0 v Somerset 433

    Paul Walter takes the hosts to 50 in the 12th over with four runs clipped on the front foot through mid wicket off Jake Ball.

    Good control at the other end from Archie Vaughan, who has started his spell with two successive maidens.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Burns c Sundar b Wheal 4 (Hants 248 v Surrey 147 & 9-1)

    Lovely ball from Brad Wheal which just peels away from Rory Burns's bat and takes the edge, Washington Sundar falls gently to his left to take the catch.

  13. Notts 124-2 v Warwicks 258

    Joe Clarke is beaten by Michael Booth trying to defend outside the off stump.

    Shot! Picking out the gap to drive through extra cover for four.

    The runs are coming a little more easily than they did this morning.

    A straight drive goes a bit wrong and sends the ball into Clarke's boot.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Buchake c Patlel b Holland 35 (Northants 84-2 v Leics 429)

    Leicestershire have their first wicket.

    A patient knock of 35 from Arush Buchake is ended by opposition captain Ian Holland, who draws the opener to defend from the crease and an edge goes low to Rishi Patel at first slip.

    James Sales is in next.

  15. Notts 117-2 v Warwicks 258

    An extravagant leave outside off from Haseeb Hameed, bringing his bat inside the line and raising it up like a periscope.

    He knows how vital his innings is to his team.

    Hameed has one hand off the bat to Michael Booth's next ball, running the ball away wide of the slips to deep third for four.

    That ball was on to him a bit quicker than he expected.

  16. 1,000 runs for Libby

    Worcs 123 & 15-0 v Sussex 350

    A single from Jake Libby off Jaydev Umadkat brings up his four figures for the season which is quite an effort in a relegated team.

    It is a fact generously acknowledged by the Sussex fielders who give a gentle round of applause.

    Not bad for Worcs to have Libby over 1,000 runs and Tom Taylor as Division One's leading wicket taker as they contemplate a season in the second tier next summer.

  17. Essex 40-0 v Somerset 433

    Paul Walter tries to work Jake Ball away leg side for runs but the line is too straight.

    The last ball of the over has width on a full length and Walter runs the ball to deep third for four.

    The runs are flowing somewhat. Five an over thus far.

    Change of bowling. Spinner Archie Vaughan is coming on.

  18. Notts 110-2 v Warwicks 258

    Joe Clarke brings up the 50 partnership (in 90 balls) with Haseeb Hameed with fours runs clipped through mid wicket off the bowling of Michael Booth.

    There's just a hint of conditions easing since this morning but have they really? There's so much at stake in this innings...

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Bell c Ingram b Crane 45 (Glamorgan 265 v Lancashire 190-3)

    George Bell had made good progress before lunch but he doesn't last too long into the afternoon session as Mason Crane has him caught at slip by Colin Ingram for 45.

    A first bowling point in the bag for the hosts as Lancs trail by 75.

  20. Essex 31-0 v Somerset 433

    Paul Walter is forward to Craig Overton to defend into the off side.

    Much better line and length from the Somerset bowler.

    The fourth ball is a bit leg side, back of a length and tapped away for four.

    Hmm. Curse of the commentator. The fifth ball is full, wide of the off peg and carved through point for four more.
