  1. 50 runs

    for James Sales

    Northants 169-3 v Leics 203

    James SalesRex Features

    James Sales hit a maiden century back in April - an unbeaten 113 against Middlesex.

    He reaches 50 for the first time since then from 82 balls, with a single off spinner Rehan Ahmed.

    Northants looking a good bet for a decent first-innings lead at the moment.

  2. wicket

    WICKET Lord lbw b Gilchrist 0

    Kent v Notts 427-8

    Kent pick up another.

    Nathan Gilchrist gets some reward as he turns around Rob Lord and pins the new batter on the back pad in front.

    The finger goes up and we have two wickets in as many overs.

    Teenage spinner Farhan Ahmed joins Dane Schadendorf. Notts need 23 more for a fifth batting point.

  3. Lancs 140 & 32-2 v Somerset 146

    First bowling change of the day by Somerset as Lewis Gregory takes over from Brett Randell.

    We were just wondering whether spinners Jack Leach or Archie Vaughan will get an over in this game, having shared all 20 wickets last week.

    Just a single for Harry Singh from Gregory's opener.

  4. Fourth batting point for Hampshire

    Hampshire 402-5 v Worcs

    New batter Tom Prest wastes no time in getting off the mark, with two boundaries in his first four balls, and that takes the hosts over the 400-run mark.

    Pears bowler Tom Taylor's dismissal of Liam Dawson was his third wicket of the innings.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Fletcher b Garrett 22

    Kent v Notts 426-7

    Breakthrough at Canterbury!

    Luke Fletcher opts to leave a Geirge Garrett ball which crashes into his off stump.

    His entertaining knock of 22 from 37 balls comes to an end.

    The nightwatchman has done his job very nicely.

    Rob Lord joins Dane Schadendorf.

  6. 50 runs

    for Max Holden

    Derbys 173 v Middlesex 138-1

    Max HoldenGetty Images

    A boundary off Zak Chappell carries Max Holden to 50 from 131 balls.

    It's the seventh time he has done so this season - he went on to a century on two of the six previous occasions - and the possibility of 1,000 runs for the season is there as he moves past 940.

  7. All change

    Surrey 67-0 v Durham 262

    Bas de Leede strays and bowls on Dom Sibley's legs.

    Not a place to bowl to the Surrey opener who flicks it to fine leg for his first boundary of the day.

    He turns a single down to fine leg to move to 14.

    We're going to the box of balls again.

    Another change! That one lasted eight deliveries.

  8. Glam 28-4 v Yorks 361

    Decent ball but no hat-trick for Fisher.

    Leading edge from Ben Kellaway squirted off into off side but he survives.

  9. dropped catch

    Dropped catch

    Surrey 62-0 v Durham 262

    Rory Burns gets a life on 43.

    After the umpires duly agree to change the ball after 16.3 overs, it almist brings immediate reward for Daniel Hogg.

    He indices a genuine edge from Burns which heads towards David Bedingham at first slip.

    But a diving second slip Colin Ackermann gets a right hand to it and grasses it.

    Great over from the young bowler, though.

  10. wicket

    WICKET: Carlson c Hill b Fisher 0

    Glam 28-3 v Yorks 361

    And that is another.

    Matthew Fisher is on a hat-trick after getting one to leave Kiran Carlson first ball.

  11. wicket

    WICKET: Tribe c Lyth b Fisher 4

    Glam 28-2 v Yorks 361

    Sharp catch to his left at second slip by Adam Lyth.

    Both of Glamorgan's openers have failed to make it through the first half hour.

  12. wicket

    WICKET Dawson c Hose b Taylor 110

    Hampshire 394-5 v Worcs

    Partnership broken!

    Liam Dawson follows one down leg and sends it very high into the Southampton sky.

    It seems to take an age to come down but Adam Hose keeps his on eye on it throughout and makes a tricky looking catch look simple.

    Dawson and Gubbins put on 220 for the fifth wicket, with the latter still going on 161 not out.

  13. Kent v Notts ???-?

    A few oohs and aahs as a Luke Fletcher edge drops just short of Jack Leaning in the slip cordon.

    Fletch picks up two.

    Dane Schadendorf nudges into the legside for another single to end the over.

    Seven from the over. Notts need 26 more for a fifth batting point with nine overs to do it.

  14. Lancs 140 & 25-2 v Somerset 146

    Craig Overton errs in length for the first time and Josh Bohannon drives an overpitched delivery for four to end the England paceman's latest over.

  15. dropped catch

    Dropped catch

    Warks 78 v Essex 207-9

    Sloppy in the field from Warwickshire this morning, Alex Davies putting Shane Snater down at long on and the Essex bowler making him pay slamming a six next ball.

    Snater is now the leading runs scorer in the Essex reply just three short of his half century.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Coles b Gohar 46

    Glos 109 v Sussex 161-5

    Sussex's lead is over 50 but they are now five wickets down with James Coles falling four short of a half-century.

    Coles tries to reverse sweep Zafar Gohar but gets his timing wrong and it takes an inside edge on its way into the stumps.

  17. Lancs 140 & 21-2 v Somerset 146

    Somerset need Brett Randell to come to the party with a wicket or two today.

    The New Zealander didn't manage one against Surrey last week, but that was perhaps understandable on a spin-friendly pitch.

    This surface is totally different but his eight overs in the first innings brought figures of 0-22.

    That is a maiden to Harry Singh, who has eight not out from 45 balls faced.

  18. Surrey 62-0 v Durham 262

    Not so good from Bas de Leede as he leaks two no-balls in his second over of the morning.

    But, that was close!

    Dom Sibley pushes and edges towards second slip, It drops just short.

    Alex Lees has a word with the umpires about the state of the ball. It's only 16 overs old.

    There's no change but the seed is planted.

  19. Surrey 56-0 v Durham 262

    Durham have been much improved with the ball this morning and Rory Burns pushes unconvincingly as Daniel Hogg angles one across the left-hander.

    Burns then gets the scoreboard ticking, beating James Minto in the field to pick up a couple. And it's a no-ball.

    The Surrey opener then slashes at a wider ball and it thuds into the gloves of wicketkeeper Ollie Robinson.

  20. Derbys 173 v Middlesex 127-1

    So far, so good for Middlesex at Derby, where their overnight pair are still together. A single in the latest Zak Chappell over takes Max Holden to 45 not out, and Mark Stoneman now has 80 at the other end.
