Middlesex are still in control going into the afternoon session but Glamorgan have worked hard to drag things back after a poor start yesterday.

Resuming at 63-0, Middlesex lost Steve Eskinazi for 39, driving Timm van der Gugten to a diving Ben Kellaway at point as the Dutch international bowled four consecutive maidens and Ned Leonard also started tightly.

The attritional cricket continued as Max Holden dug in alongside Nathan Fernandes, with only the odd stray delivery from Sri Lanka’s Asitha Fernando providing any respite from the seamers’ grip on the run-rate.

Fernandes fell on the stroke of lunch edging van der Gugten to slip for a patient 58, with only 55 runs coming in the session.

Somerset’s lower order showed plenty of fight this morning, with useful contributions from Jack Leach, Migael Pretorius and young Alfie Ogborne, who kept the Hampshire bowlers at bay for 48 balls.

His last wicket stand of 48 with Pretorius, who finished unbeaten on 47 will have lifted the visitors’ spirits as well as their score, although 184 still looks well below par.

A good morning for Surrey who have restricted Sussex to just 78 runs in the 34 overs bowled in the session

Rory Burns has set largely defensive fields and supported by his bowlers has made run scoring difficult.

Matthew Fisher has again been the pick of the bowlers on a pitch offering little or no help to the seamers, bowling an excellent line and length.

Tom Haines has batted through the session reaching his second century of the season and 14th of his career.

Warwickshire 92-7 v Nottinghamshire

The rain has returned to Edgbaston and the players are off. It is 10 minutes before the scheduled lunch break, given the delayed start but it's the end of the morning's action.

That action firmly belonged to Notts and Brett Hutton and Fergus O'Neill in particular.

Once Hamza Shaikh went to Hutton for 22, the Bears crumbled in the face of some top bowling.

The loss of Sam Hain for 43 added a real gloss to Notts' morning as the Bears lost 5-32.

They may well hope the rain continues to fall.

A solid morning's effort from Durham who arguably hold the upper hand in this contest after an excellent start to their reply.

Alex Lees has led the way with 53, the 24th half-century of his Durham career and Emilio Gay, after a steady start, has joined the party to finish unbeaten at lunch on 30.

Yorkshire have a bit of thinking to do at lunch. Outside of a decent start with the new ball they have not caused enough problems.

Just about Surrey's morning but this has been hard graft to take the two Sussex wickets for 68.

Tom Haines, whose concentration and shot selection has been impressive, has had few alarms on his way to 132 bar the odd one that has bounced lower than expected.

Sussex are in a solid position but this is clearly not an easy track to take wickets on.

That's a massive wicket in the context of the innings and potentially in the context of the game.

Notts bowlers are firing and they've got to fancy their chances here early doors.

Their seamers have bowled excellently, it's very seam friendly conditions but you've still got to bowl well and the certainly have. The line and lengths have been brilliant.

Essex have been quite good in the field, generally speaking.

They dropped three or four in the last two games but their catching in this particular game I think has been exemplary.

The new ball has done the trick here for Surrey.

It was a good catch from Matt Fisher, who is in the action, he's picked up a couple of wickets.

It's been Surrey's morning, they've picked up a couple of wickets and they've restricted Sussex in terms of the runs they've scored.

Worcestershire's added 104 for the six wickets that fell this morning and Essex will be pretty content with that.

Although the skies are much brighter than yesterday, there is still help in the surface for the bowlers.

Kasun Rajitha was the pick with four wickets on his debut with a couple each for Thain, Snater and Porter.

The Pears' lead is only 23.

Brilliantly set up this.

Over to the Essex batters after lunch...

300 up for Sussexpublished at 12:57 British Summer Time 19 April

Sussex 302-3 v Surrey

Tom Haines pounces on a bit of width from Dan Worrall and sends that screeching through the covers for an elegant four to bring up Sussex's second batting bonus point.

This pitch is looking pretty benign even with a new ball in Surrey's favour although there has been a little bit of uneven bounce on occasions.

Frank Watson
BBC Hereford & Worcester

It's a good catch at first slip by Paul Walter, this time going at a better height for him than the one he took by his ankles this morning.

Ethan Brookes has gone for a very decent 24 but just proving once again what we've been saying throughout this game, literally from ball one, that you're never really in on this pitch.

There's nothing between these two sides as the moment.

Mark Church
BBC Radio London commentator

I think Surrey have been very good this morning so far.

It's not straight forward this. They've shut down boundaries and they've made run scoring very difficult
