Six singles since the restart in two overs as Essex continue to accumulate and Paul Walter edges towards his half century.

Both Liam Patterson-White and Dillon Pennington start with a maiden after lunch.

James Rew in a little bother, nearly a Bashir to Siraj esque trickle back onto the stumps from a late defensive stroke.

We are finally off the blocks in Worcester with the visitors put in by hosts and Joe Weatherley and Fletcha Middleton facing Khurram Shazad.

Weatherley edges the fifth ball between second and third slip to get the Hampshire innings off to a rather unconvincing start with a four to the third man rope.

Worcestershire are rock bottom of Division One and need a win here.

Sai Kishore and Dan Worrall will bowl in tandem after lunch, so still no Cam Steel who has to attempt to chase the first boundary of the second session.

Soft hands from G Clark, who is yet to face a certain J Clark-his brother, in this match.

George Hill finishes off the final two balls of his over having bagged James Coles on the stroke of lunch.

We are back in motion here on the Yorkshire coast.

The dismissal of James Coles on the stroke of lunch means that honours are about even after the morning session.

Coles had looked in imperious form following his three centuries in successive Championship games, but he was undone by a good ball from George Hill.

Earlier Jack White had bowled an impressive opening spell accounting for both openers with possibly the catch of the season as Tom Haines was caught by James Wharton an incredible running diving catch as the ball came over his shoulder.

The pitch has been cut to give the sides every chance of a result in this latest Kookaburra round.

The middle of the track - including a good length for the seamers - has been left green, while a good length for a spinner is as bare as imaginable and is set to offer a great deal of assistance.

Sam Robson's wicket came from an extra bit of pace and bounce, which has been noticeable all morning.

Middlesex have gone with seven batters, although one is the all-rounder Ryan Higgins and the other the off-spinning Josh de Caires. Luke Hollman has also been recalled in the absence of the injured Zafar Gohar with Toby Roland-Jones rested allowing for the additional batter.

A good recovery from Somerset after being 0-2 and 25-3, thanks to a solid partnership between James Rew and Tom Abell.

There was early seam movement for Mo Abbas, whose three wickets have taken his first-class tally to exactly 800, and signs of turn for Calvin Harrison's leg-spin.

But a combination of a slow pitch and the Kookaburra ball means that this really ought to be another batsman's game.

Yorkshire will be happy with their morning's work, particularly nipping out the free-scoring James Coles on the stroke of lunch.

If three wickets is just about the lower edge of where they might have hoped to be after putting in Sussex they do carry momentum going into the afternoon.

Jack White's figures of 8-4-10-2 were very good and he bowled well but nothing (and I mean nothing in this match or the country in this round of games) will outshine the catch from James Wharton to dismiss Tom Haines.

Watch it if you get the chance because it was special.

Very much the hosts' morning after being put into bat by Alex Davies.

Paul Walter is looking on top of his game tracking nicely on 47 from 67 balls and Tom Westley has compiled an unremarkable but effective 20 from 48.

Dean Elgar is the only wicket to fall and delivered that on a plate for Warwickshire, pulling an average, short pitched delivery from Beau Webster to Zen Malik at midwicket.

29 overs bowled in that session and after three early wickets, barely a chance has been given from two of Somerset's star batters.

James Rew 45* and Tom Abell 30* have rebuilt nicely after Mo Abbas earnt his 800th first-class wicket this morning knocking all of Somerset's top three over in the first hour.

A much healthier position that Somerset find themselves in after where they were.

Notts were on top early on, Somerset have come roaring back with this partnership.

A competitive morning of cricket.

Yorks v Sussex 91-2

James Coles is not for retreating into his shell however close to lunch we are and has danced down the wicket to smash Dom Bess back over his head for a large six.

Last over of the session will come from George Hill.

James Coles has batted well this morning for his 41 but he could do with lunch arriving quickly having played and missed at three deliveries outside off stump.

Tom Alsop has compiled a more patient 18 from 55 balls but is looking solid.

A couple of overs before lunch and Dom Bess' spin will bowl the first of them.

The first turn to spin saw former Taunton Deane club cricketer Calvin Harrison go for five.

Lyndon James had his England Lions team-mate James Rew caught and bowled just a few weeks ago with this same make of ball in Taunton, he draws an inside edge from a loose Rew shot, but the 'keeper gets away with one.
