  1. Dual spinpublished at 12:31 British Summer Time 10 May

    Hampshire 59-1 v Durham

    Dual spin for Durham as Colin Ackermann is taken for just one from his first over.

    Callum Parkinson has 1-10 off 2.1 as Ali Orr hits him for four to reach 36*.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Lancashire at Trent Bridgepublished at 12:27 British Summer Time 10 May

    Nottinghamshire v Lancashire 52-1

    Keaton Jennings is 16* off 60 balls and Josh Bohannon 13* off 31 balls.

    A decent over rate from the Notts seamers (no spin yet) with 20 overs already bowled with 33 minutes to go until lunch can be called.

  3. Postpublished at 12:24 British Summer Time 10 May

    Surrey v Warwickshire 69-2

    It's been the calm after the storm at Surrey where Will Rhodes and Sam Hain are in no mood to follow their opening pair's attacking intent, instead seemingly content to try and bed themselves in.

    Jordan Clark has had a couple of shouts for lbw dismissed, on the grounds of height, presumably. Too rapid for his own good.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Hampshirepublished at 12:19 British Summer Time 10 May

    Hampshire 51-1 v Durham

    Nicely nurdled two into the legside by the first lefthander to the crease, Ali Orr.

    His highest score personally now for Hampshire, was 26, now 30* for the former Sussex man.

    Pete Siddle continues from t'other end, into his fifth over for his fifth county.

  5. 'It was a surprise Glamorgan decided to bowl'published at 12:19 British Summer Time 10 May

    Glamorgan v Sussex 56-2

    Nick Webb
    BBC Radio Wales

    On a beautiful morning, it was a surprise to hear Sam Northeast decide that Glamorgan would bowl first but they managed to remove both Sussex openers before the 50 came up.

    Tom Haines made a rapid 19 before trying one shot too many against Mir Hamza, the Pakistani paceman whose CV includes a few months at Sussex.

    Then Tom Clark top-edged a lobbed catch to Chris Cooke off James Harris for 18, although that only served to bring in reliable India star Cheteshwar Pujara.

    Sussex are without England paceman Ollie Robinson as they look for a third straight win, but their bowling averages still look formidable compared to a struggling Glamorgan attack which has left them fighting to salvage draws in the last two games.

  6. Postpublished at 12:17 British Summer Time 10 May

    Kent v Worcestershire 59-1

    Wes Agar has a big rig, as they say Down Under, but boy can he move it.

    Joey Evison is into the attack for Kent but Gareth Roderick gets his timing spot on to drive the ball low past the bowler on the off side of the stumps.

    Agar has a short sprint to his right from mid-off and a full length leap to stop the ball with his right hand and surely save three runs, such is the pace of the dry outfield after a week of warm weather in the Garden of England.

  7. wicket

    WICKET: Middleton b Parkinson 18published at 12:17 British Summer Time 10 May

    Hampshire 49-1 v Durham

    Callum Parkinson bowls the 18th over and breaks through third ball!

    It is a beauty and Fletcha Middleton has to go for 18.

    The middle stump is leaning back, a great sight for any cricketer, particularly for a spinner causing this cracking photo shot with a Dukes ball early in May.

    It may be easier for left-handed Nick Gubbins to play with this left-arm orthodox spin.

    It is, he is off the mark with a single to leg first ball.

  8. 'Glamorgan have bowled a good line and length'published at 12:16 British Summer Time 10 May

    Glamorgan v Sussex 50-2

    There were a few raised eyebrows when Sam Northeast won the toss and decided to bowl first, but that decision has been vindicated with two wickets in the opening hour.

    Tom Haines who had set off at a rate of knots was lbw playing across the line to Mir Hamza, whilst Tom Clark miscued a pull short and skied the ball allowing keeper Chris Cooke to take a comfortable catch.

    After an untidy opening Glamorgan have in general bowled a good line and length as they look for a third wicket before lunch.

  9. 'How things quickly change'published at 12:13 British Summer Time 10 May

    Surrey v Warwickshire 59-2

    Fran Wilson
    Western Storm batter on BBC Radio London

    How things quickly change.

    We were just talking about how well Warwickshire had started and now both openers have gone.

  10. 6 runs

    Six for Josh Bohannonpublished at 12:08 British Summer Time 10 May

    Nottinghamshire v Lancashire 38-1

    Bizarre shot from Josh Bohannon on just two.

    He does not get anywhere near all of that, but as we know Trent Bridge is not big, it has carried the ropes, unconventionally chipped over covers for six!

    The ball is walloped into the brick wall, but it is ok to continue.

    Something has changed for Bohannon these past two balls as he leaps into a cover drive next ball, but well stopped for one.

  11. Postpublished at 12:06 British Summer Time 10 May

    Keaton Jennings really nailed that cut shot, brilliant fielding at point by Lyndon James gives Dillon Pennington another maiden.

    Just five runs he has gone for off five overs, but no breakthrough yet.

  12. Postpublished at 12:04 British Summer Time 10 May

    Kent v Worcestershire 56-1

    Hasn't taken Kashif Ali too long to overhaul Gareth Roderick's score.

    He brings up his second boundary with a late cut off Beyers Swanepoel, who has switched to the other end to replace Wes Agar.

    Ali has 15 from 22 balls, four more than Roderick has amassed from 34 deliveries.

    Feels like the first day of summer at Canterbury, there's even a slight heat haze looking across the ground. Definitely a slip, slop, slap day.

  13. Division Two updatepublished at 11:59 British Summer Time 10 May

    Gloucestershire openers Cameron Bancroft (24*) and Ben Charlesworth (15*) are going along nicely to see their team on to 39 for no loss against Northants as we approach the end of the first hour of play.

    Sussex lost the wicket of Tom Haines, who hit 19 from 21 balls, but their other opener Tom Clark is staying put with 14 from 42 balls.

    He's alongside the third of the trio of Toms - Alsop - with Sussex on 41-1 against Glamorgan in Cardiff.

  14. wicket

    WICKET: Yates lbw Abbott 32published at 11:56 British Summer Time 10 May

    Surrey v Warwickshire 59-2

    One brings two. In two overs.

    Sean Abbott, in his second over of his first appearance of the summer, gets one to come in at least a yard to the left-hander, Rob Yates comes forward to it but the ball smashes into his pads and he has to go.

    Sam Hain is back in the team and is now back in the middle within the first hour of the first day.

    Surrey have their tails up.

  15. wicket

    WICKET: Davies b Clark 25published at 11:55 British Summer Time 10 May

    Surrey v Warwickshire 59-1

    Jordan Clark bowls Alex DaviesImage source, Rex Features

    Big wicket for Jordan Clark as Surrey get the ball to nip about off the slightly green track.

    Alex Davies had looked to leave the last delivery which glanced off his bat and raced past the slips and all the way to the rope for his sixth four.

    The very next ball he shoulders arms again but Clark angles one in off the seam to smash into the outside of off-stump to send it cartwheeling.

    Davies didn't even look back.

    Will Rhodes is the new man at the crease. Rob Yates is there on 32* still.

  16. Postpublished at 11:52 British Summer Time 10 May

    Hampshire 36-0 v Durham

    Shot of the morning so far on the south coast, Pete Siddle really should have stopped it as it somethow goes through him, but take nothing away from that glorious straight drive from former Sussex man Ali Orr for four.

    He cover drives for four in the same over, Siddle not his former miserly self as yet.

  17. 'Pitch looks good with plenty of pace'published at 11:52 British Summer Time 10 May

    Nottinghamshire v Lancashire 29-1

    Scott Read
    BBC Radio Lancashire

    That Luke Wells wicket was a reward, they've bowled well.

    The pitch looks like it's a good pitch with plenty of pace and carry on it and you're going to get with a new ball ones that beat the bat, ones that find the edge.

  18. 'Agar has been tidy'published at 11:51 British Summer Time 10 May

    Kent v Worcestershire 46-1

    Frank Watson
    BBC Hereford & Worcester

    It's a reward for Wes Agar. He's been good, he's been tidy.

    He's hardly bowled a bad ball and he's got his wicket just when Worcestershire felt like they made a decent fist of this first spell they lose the wicket.

  19. Postpublished at 11:50 British Summer Time 10 May

    Nottinghamshire v Lancashire 29-1

    Lovely shot from Jennings whipping Dane Paterson off his hips for four through the legside to get him into double figures. He is down the track and through quickly for a cheeky single next ball too.

    Both teams are still winless here, with a Dukes ball in May you would expect this to not end in a draw, but such has been the dominance of batting in many Championship games so far this year, you never know..

  20. Postpublished at 11:44 British Summer Time 10 May

    Hampshire 24-0 v Durham

    Pete Siddle gets his first bowl in a Durham competitive match for the 11th set of six.

    His first over goes for one single to Fletcha Middleton who is 6* off 21 balls. Ali Orr is, as expected, the aggressor of this partnership; 18* off 45 balls.
