Surrey lead by a slender 198 and need to strike early this morning.

Nick Gubbins will face Kemar Roach on 23 not out.

Opener Mark Stoneman is at the non-striker's end on 19.

You might have missed it in the gloaming last night, but we asked whether you thought Surrey paceman Dan Worrall should get an England call.

He picked up his 140th wicket since joining the club in 2022 yesterday and holds a British passport, despite having played three ODIs for Australia back in 2016.

His three-year residency period is up next month, just in time for him to be eligible for the one-off England Test against Zimbabwe.

Only five men have played international cricket for both England and Australia, the last of which was Albert Trott at the end of the 19th century.

Should Worrall be asked to become the sixth? And do you think he'd accept? Let us know by using the hashtag #bbccricket on social media and we'll publish the best replies right here.

Our straw poll in the final hour of Friday's action saw 56% say he should NOT get the call.

Let us know why... and feel to use the thumbs up or down to tell us if you want him in an England shirt this summer.

Surrey have won their last three games against this opposition at the Oval, but 253 runs feels a little light - and would be lighter still but for a superb century from Dom Sibley.

There is certainly movement off the seam on this surface though and few county attacks in England compare with the twin threat of Kemar Roach and Dan Worrall.

Mark Stoneman has perhaps looked the most comfortable of the three Hampshire batters to appear in the middle so far in this innings and he resumes on 19 not out.

Nick Gubbins offered a sharp chance to Dan Lawrence at third slip but nothing thereafter and he will return to the middle on 23.

Kyle Verreynne's unbeaten century on day one has helped Notts to a healthy looking position against Essex.

The South African didn't play in Notts' opening match last week - a win against Durham - and only flew in three days before the start of this game but it obviously hasn't taken him long to get up to speed.

"We were in some trouble when I came in today so I think this hundred probably meant a bit more to the team than the one I managed at the back end last year," Verreynne said.

"It's been great to keep playing Test cricket (for South Africa) this winter. Playing for the Proteas has done me a great benefit."

Essex will be looking to remove the centurion as quickly as possible this morning. Yesterday, Shane Snater took three scalps and Jamie Porter took 2-50 from 22 overs.

"There was a bit in the pitch in the first session and then it flattened out as it often does here at Trent Bridge," Porter said.

"It's obviously disappointing to everyone when catches go down but we've all been there and everyone's dropped one in their time. I still think that getting them eight down on what looks like becoming a batting pitch keep us well in it."

The sun is shining in Chester-le-Street and we are in for another lovely day in the North East, with highs of around 19C.

And will the sun continue to shine on the Durham duo of Ben McKinney and Matthew Potts? They put on 109 runs last night and have taken the side to within seven runs of a third batting point.

When the two came together that looked unlikely because Durham lost three wickets for five runs in two crazy overs after tea.

McKinney has a career-best 143 and Potts has 53. If the latter is to break his highest total then we are in for a treat because he made 149* at Edgbaston last season.

It was a day Ben McKinney will never forget.

After watching his opening partner Alex Lees depart without a run on the board in the opening over, the 20-year-old steeled himself and amassed a career-best score of 143 not out at The Riverside.

The left-hander is highly-rated by those 'in the know' and you can bet Ben Stokes is keeping the closest of close eyes on his development this season.

Warwickshire had a burst of three wickets in six balls to have their hosts 234-7 but toiled in the final two hours of day one as Durham moved to the brink of a third batting point.

"It was amazing. It's so nice to score runs here in front of your own community and fans," said McKinney.

"We had full confidence that we were going to get 350 and we're close to that. It's a good wicket so every run is crucial and scoreboard pressure will be a thing especially if we get out to bowl and get two or three early ones."

A late burst of wickets from support bowler Fynn Hudson-Prentice has given Sussex the advantage over Somerset at Hove.

Sussex batted first and struck 294 from 74.4 overs - with three players reaching the late 40s but being unable to convert their scores in half-centuries as Lewis Gregory (4-90) kept them in check.

Somerset racked up a huge 670-7 dec in the draw with Worcestershire last week in which Tom Banton hit 371 and James Rew struck 152, but the former managed only six runs this time and Rew starts the day unbeaten but yet to get off the mark.

Their side need Rew and Tom Lammonby to form a partnership and get Somerset back into contention after Hudson-Prentice's heroics.

"An eventful day is the easiest way to describe it," the Sussex bowler said.

"It was a weird wicket, and were a bit 50-50 as to what to do at the toss. We decided to bat but it was still seaming around in the afternoon.

"They were very good but we knew if we got it right we could hit back because it was still doing a bit when they batted but we hit our lengths.

"I worked hard this winter, changed a couple of things and it seems like it has worked in terms of getting more consistent shape and swing away from the right-handers."

Pears skipper Brett D'Oliveira might have had a restless night regretting the decision to ask Yorkshire to bat after winning the toss and spending a day toiling in the Leeds sun.

Adam Lyth (67), James Wharton (44), George Hill (63) and Dawid Malan (98) in particular will feel they left some runs out there, but Jordan Thompson (48*) and Ben Coad (21*) produced an explosive ninth-wicket stand worth 65 to rub more salt in the Pears wounds late-on as the visitors used nine different bowlers as they tried to change the momentum.

Thompson and Coad will be back this morning seeking the 25 runs they need for maximum batting points and then presumably trying to make inroads into the Worcestershire top order.

Away from the Division Two game at Old Trafford, Cameron Bancroft helped put Gloucestershire in a commanding position against Glamorgan with a top score of 163 after they were put in at Bristol.

He shared a second-wicket stand of 230 with Ollie Price who fell shortly after reaching his century (101) as the hosts closed day one on 368-3.

Leicestershire put Derbyshire to the sword after they, too, were put in reaching 423-9 at stumps on day one with half-centuries for Sol Budinger, Ian Holland, Peter Handscomb and Logan van Beek.

Middlesex and Kent fought out an altogether closer affair at Canterbury with the visitors making 222 after being put in by Kent and then reducing the home side to 79-6, Blake Cullen taking 3-51.

A further swing of momentum in the final session saw Kent post a 93-run partnership between Grant Stewart and Harry Finch to put the hosts just about back in the driving seat.

After a bruising Division Two loss at home to Kent last weekend and a top order wobble that saw Northants slip to 54-2 after being put in, this feels like a different team entirely.

There's no doubt that this Old Trafford wicket is easier to bat on than the green-tinged surface at Northampton, but the runs still have to be made and last week's loss would hardly be a boost in confidence.

Given the declining forecast on days three and four, the visiting team will hope to bat just once in this game, but how many will be enough on this pristine surface?

For the record, Northants have only ever beaten Lancashire at Old Trafford four times.

Northants also picked up one win each at Blackpool, Southport and Lytham St Annes.

We had that rarest of blessings on Friday, a full 96 overs of mid-April at nine grounds cricket drenched only in sun, and not by anything else...

Whisper it but there's a chance we might just sneak through Saturday without any weather disruption too, though it won't be quite as glorious as Friday, when Durham's home game against Warwickshire was one of the warmest places in the country at 22 degrees.

Here's what we have in store today courtesy of our colleagues at BBC Weather.

Today

Today, the north and west will be cloudy with showery rain moving northwards. Drier elsewhere with sunshine to start but it will turn cloudier later.

Sunday

Tomorrow will be a cooler and breezier day with variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells.

Outlook for Monday

Monday will be a breezy day with scattered showers for many, these heavy in places. South-eastern areas will be drier with sunny spells.

As Henry V prepares to do battle at Agincourt on BBC 2, it is almost time to pursue "the greater share of honour" in a cricketing sense.

There was some gripping action in the County Championship yesterday with fabulous innings played by Ben McKinney, Kyle Verreynne, Cameron Bancroft, Dom Sibley, Ollie Price and Saif Zaib.

But who has the "stomach to this fight"? Who, at the close, will be remembering "with advantages" the feats they do this day, and who will be left to "hold their manhoods cheap"?

Only one way to find out - stay with us. Play starts at 11:00.
