  1. Close of play at Derby

    Derbys v Leics 357-3

    Lewis Hill celebrates his century for Leicestershire at DerbyshireRex Features

    The Division Two leaders have shown their class today against their nearest challengers.

    At 0-2 in the morning gloom it could have got very messy very quickly but Rehan Ahmed (115), Lewis Hill (132*) and Peter Handscomb (99*) have batted them into a strong position.

    Hill's century has come in his 100th first-class match while Australian Handscomb will go to bed one run short of his own milestone in his 200th firstclass game.

    Derbyshire will have to come out firing tomorrow morning if they're not to be batted out of the game.

  2. Somerset 225-7 (lead by 80 runs) v Durham 145

    That is a glorious shot from Craig Overton who takes a couple of dancing steps down the wicket and lifts George Drissell back over his head for a one-bounce four.

    Overton has had a great day taking six wickets, and could be the perfect foil to Tom Lammonby with their left-right combination and the latter is looking good on 83 motoring nicely towards his century.

  3. 250 runs

    250 up for the Pears

    Warwickshire v Worcestershire 250-8

    Ethan Brookes steers one away to backward point and he and Adam Finch scurry back for a couple.

    That sees Worcestershire reach 250 and a first batting point. In fact, it's only a ninth of the season for the Pears.

    Brookes has 77 and is playing a great hand for Division One's bottom side.

  4. 'A good catch from Yates'

    Warwickshire v Worcestershire 245-8

    Dave Bradley
    BBC Hereford & Worcester cricket commentator

    A good catch from Rob Yates, it was very low to his left. He got down and made it look easy.

    No great fuss about the way he caught that.

  5. 350 up for Leicestershire

    Derbys v Leics 350-3

    Another over, another milestone for Leicestershire.

    Lewis Hill (127*) looks like he has his eyes firmly on coming back tomorrow morning as does Peter Handscombe (97*) as he closes on a century himself.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Foreman c Yates b Hannon-Dalby 2 (Warwickshire v Worcestershire 245-8)

    Ollie Hannon-Dalby has struggled for wickets all summer, but he's on the card today.

    A good ball moving away from on-loan Sussex left-hander Bertie Foreman draws the edges and Rob Yates is a very safe pair of hands at second slip.

    Can anyone keep Ethan Brookes company until the close?

  7. 50 runs

    50 partnership & 200 up for Notts

    Hants v Notts 200-4

    A nice job done by Jack Haynes (60*) and Kyle Verreynne (18*) as they bring up the 50 stand for the fifth wicket.

    There are definitely runs out there if the overhead conditions suit.

  8. Close of play at Scarborough

    Yorks 282-4 v Surrey

    Surrey bowler Dan WorrallRex Features

    Dan Worrall took three wickets on day one

    A day shortened by bad light and rain finishes with Yorkshire happy with their lot at 282-4 and resuming tomorrow with 24 overs left of their bonus points chase.

    The 350 target and three batting points should be within reach but against this strong Surrey side wickets in hand will be more important than an extra point here and there, so there is little likelihood of throwing caution to the wind.

    Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean did well to get them off to a decent start sharing a 107 run partnership and James Wharton and Will Luxton batted well adding 149 for the third wicket.

    Surrey for their part might rue a couple of decisions that did not go their way with Wharton escaping a stumping which looked out against Sai Kishore and Matthew Revis an lbw shout off Dan Worrall that looked bang on.

    As it is Jonny Bairstow (19) and Revis (0) return in the morning.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Ul-Hassan c Finch b Agar 27 (Glamorgan 78-4 v Kent 155)

    Cracking bowling from Aussie Wes Agar is keeping Kent in this game.

    Coming round the wicket to the left-hander, he gets one to lift on Zain Ul-Hassan and he gloves it behind.

    Three for Agar and four for his team.

    Can they nibble one or two more wickets before the close?

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Gregory c Clark b Wagner 17 (Somerset 194-7 v Durham 145)

    Neil Wagner has been persistent with his short ball strategy and finally gets one right.

    This rises into Lewis Gregory's ribs and gets the leading edge to short leg where Graham Clark takes the catch.

  11. 50 runs

    50 for Jack Haynes

    Hants v Notts 186-4

    Very nicely played by Jack Haynes.

    His 50 comes from 55 balls with eight fours.

  12. 'Walter was looking nailed on for a big score'

    Sussex 204 v Essex 114-2

    Nick Gledhill
    BBC Essex

    Pretty much like Dean Elgar, Paul Walter was looking pretty much nailed on for a very big score indeed but he's been dismissed by Jack Carson.

    He was just pushing tentatively forward and he's been given lbw.

    An important wicket for Sussex to take.

  13. Hants v Notts 179-4

    Not a lot happening for Hampshire since removing Freddie McCann.

    Jack Haynes is looking good on his unbeaten 44 for Notts.

  14. Close of play at Northwood

    Middlesex 319-1 v Northamptonshire

    Bad light brings an end to the day at Merchant Taylor's School a full 16 overs early.

    It has been an excellent day for Middlesex after being asked to bat by Northamptonshire.

    Sam Robson is the only man to go for 57, but Max Holden with 137 not out and Kane Williamson on 88 have added an unbroken 197.

    They will resume in the morning in a very commanding position.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Allison c Yates b Bamber 16 (Warwickshire v Worcestershire 242-7)

    The new ball does as it's told from a Warwickshire point of view.

    The ever willing Ethan Bamber gets Ben Allison playing down the wrong line.

    The Pears number eight is trying to hit through midwicket, but is turned round and edges it to second slip.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Walter lbw Carson 47 (Sussex 204 v Essex 114-2)

    Paul Walter can't believe it and not many of us can to be honest.

    He just misses a straight one from Jack Carson and is trapped in front.

    That's a bonus wicket for Sussex.

  17. new ball

    New ball

    Warwickshire v Worcestershire 242-6

    Warwickshire have a new cherry as they try to take the last four Worcestershire wickets tonight if possible.

    But Ethan Brookes has found good support from Ben Allison to move from 196-6.

    The Pears would love to be only six down at stumps tonight.

  18. 50 runs

    50 partnership

    Sussex 204 v Essex 113-1

    Tom Westley (19*) and Paul Walter (47*) have been enjoying themselves out there for Essex.

    The 50 stand comes up for the second wicket and Sussex have got some thinking to do because the runs are coming far too easily from their perspective.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Balderson c Bracey b Akhter 26 (Glocs v Lancs 209-6)

    The sixth-wicket partnership of 49 between George Balderson and Matty Hurst comes to an end as the former fends a short ball from Zaman Akhter off his hip to James Bracey behind the stumps.

    Akhter has 4-46 now and is eyeing a fourth five-wicket haul of his first-class career.

  20. 100 runs

    100 up for Essex

    Sussex 204 v Essex 103-1

    Glorious from Paul Walter as he drives Ari Karvelas all along the carpet to the long-on boundary for four runs.

    He pulls the next ball to the mid-wicket fence and up comes the Essex 100.
