  1. 150 runs

    150 up for Surrey

    Surrey 152-3 v Durham 262

    While Ryan Patel uses up a few lives at the other end, Ben Foakes hooks a short ball from Daniel Hogg for four to bring up the Surrey 150.

    A single then takes us to 100 runs from the morning session.

  2. dropped catch

    Dropped catch

    Surrey 146-3 v Durham 262

    Callum Parkinson into the attack and serves up a half-tracker which Ryan Patel smashes to James Minto at short mid-wicket.

    The power of the shot bursts through the hands of the 16-year-old.

    Tough chance, but one that needs to be taken.

    Patel then almost chops on but survives to live another over.

  3. wicket

    WICKET: Davies lbw b Snater 12

    Warks 78 & 38-6 v Essex 232

    Another one for Shane Snater as Bears captain Alex Davies goes, the seamer nipping one back sharply to bag him in front of leg.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Bohannon c Abell b Aldridge 60

    Lancs 140 & 106-3 v Somerset 146

    Josh Bohannon tries to pull a ball from Kasey Aldridge, but the ball hits the toe of the bat and ends up in the hands of Tom Abell at gully.

    Somerset will be delighted with that just before lunch and it ends a stand of 85 with opener Harry Singh.

    What a time for 16-year-old Rocky Flintoff to have to come in!

  5. wicket

    WICKET Jones c Brown b Abbas 4

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 16-3

    Another one...

    Mohammad Abbas is tearing into the Pears top order and Rob Jones is his latest victim.

    Ben Brown takes a comfortable catch behind as Rob Jones departs for four.

    Worcestershire need the lunch interval to come to regroup - Hampshire and Abbas - might fancy another scalp before the break.

  6. Lancs 140 & 106-2 v Somerset 146

    Scott Read
    BBC Radio Lancashire

    "The way young Harry Singh has batted through the morning has been really impressive."

  7. ouch!

    Foakes needs treatment

    Surrey 145-3 v Durham 262

    Ben Foakes needs treatment after getting biffed on the right hand by Daniel Hogg.

    But after a bit of tape on the index finger and the England wicketkeeper is up and running again.

  8. Glos 109 v Sussex 239-6

    John Simpson (31) and Jack Carson (39) have put on 59 together to get Sussex's lead up to 130.

    Zafar Gohar took a couple of quick wickets early on this morning but since then the Division Two leaders have settled down nicely.

  9. Lancs 140 & 102-2 v Somerset 146

    Scott Read
    BBC Radio Lancashire

    "Slight frustration among some of the Somerset players, including their talisman with the ball, Craig Overton."

  10. Surrey 145-3 v Durham 262

    Taking on Surrey's batting line-up on their home patch is a baptism of fire for 16-year-old debutant James Minto.

    Ryan Patel unfurls a lovely stroke off the back foot to crunch the first ball of his sixth over in first-class cricket for four.

    The young pacer responds next ball by digging in a quick short ball which clears Patel's head and unfortunately the leap of wicketkeeper Ollie Robinson. Four byes.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Ali c Vince b Abbas 0

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 6-2

    Another Pears batter goes without scoring.

    Kashif Ali is caught at first slip by James Vince and Mohammad Abbas has his second already.

    The visitors are in a spot of bother.

  12. 50 runs

    for Josh Bohannon

    Lancs 140 & 100-2 v Somerset 146

    Josh BohannonRex Features

    Craig Overton goes past the outside edge of Josh Bohannon's bat with a superb leg-cutter.

    It does not fluster the Lancashire batsman, who clips away to square leg for four and reaches 50 off 67 balls.

    Three runs down to third man bring up Lancashire's 100.

  13. Lancs 140 & 93-2 v Somerset 146

    To continue the musical references, what a difference a day makes.

    Yesterday, you couldn't afford to take your eyes off events in the middle without missing a wicket.

    Today, the early of dismissal of nightwatch Will Williams notwithstanding, Somerset are struggling to buy one at the moment.

    The Lancashire lead is 87 and they have eight wickets remaining.

  14. 50 runs

    50 up for Kent

    Kent 50-2 v Notts 433

    Kent are racing along at around six an over.

    Jack Leaning picks up his first boundary off the final ball of Luke Fletcher's fourth over, and Daniel Bell-Drummond picks up four off the first ball of Jacob Duffy's next over. He moves to 17 off 18 balls.

    He then guides the New Zealand quick through square for another to bring up the Kent fifty off exactly eight overs

    So a fast start to their reply. BUT, it's the wickets that are the problem.

  15. wicket

    WICKET: Cooke c Bairstow b Fisher 20

    Glam 86-5 v Yorks 361

    Glamorgan are in difficulty now as Matthew Fisher takes another, Cooke chasing a delivery that he had no right to waft at.

    The Yorkshire seamer now has 3-9 from just over six overs.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Libby b Abbas 0

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 2-1

    Early breakthrough for Hampshire!

    Jake Libby departs in the second over without scoring as Mohammad Abbas bowls him.

    Kashif Ali is the new man in, joining Gareth Roderick.

  17. 100 runs

    for Mark Stoneman

    Derbys 173 v Middlesex 185-3

    Mark StonemanGetty Images

    Former England opener Mark Stoneman reaches his second century of the season - and 31st in first-class cricket - with a single off Alex Thomson at Derby.

    It has been a patient knock and the left-hander has faced 170 balls to reach three figures - although he has collected 17 fours.

  18. Lancs 140 & 87-2 v Somerset 146

    Too much width from Kasey Aldridge, who is twice steered down to third man for four by Josh Bohannon.

    Somerset decide they have no option to turn to Craig Overton for his second spell of the morning.

  19. Surrey 126-3 v Durham 262

    Ben Foakes nudges a single off Chemar Holder to tick over to four.

    The West Indies bower lets forth an appeal as Ryan Patel looks to clip a legside delivery for four.

    It is snared by a leaping Ollie Robinson, but no bat involved.

    James Minto in for his second over of the morning and Ben Foakes picks up another couple before guiding down to fine leg for a single.

    Patel then tries to hook a Minto short ball, but he's not in control and is a little lucky to get a single.

    Surrey will be keen to nurse their way through to lunch without further damage after those three quick wickets They trail by 136.

  20. wicket

    WICKET: Barnard c Pepper b Porter 15

    Warks 78 & 22-5 v Essex 232

    Have Warwickshire booked a round of golf this afternoon or something?

    That is another gone, Ed Barnard playing at a full one in the fourth stump channel and edging one into Michael Pepper's gloves behind.

    After a poor fielding display featuring a drop and some odd placement allowing the last wicket pair to add 43 this morning, they have totally capitulated with the bat.

    Essex have been good but this has been abysmal from the Bears.
