  1. 150 runs

    150 up for Nottinghamshirepublished at 14:39 British Summer Time

    Notts 150-3 v Warwickshire

    Another tidy over from Oliver Hannon-Dalby costs a solitary single from Freddie McCann.

    Craig Miles is bowling wide of off stump - presumably a tactic to frustrate the set batters and force a rush of blood.

    But he then overpitches and McCann pulls a lofted drive over Sam Hain at midwicket for four. It takes Notts to the 150 mark in 38.3 overs.

  2. Postpublished at 14:38 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 118-1 v Gloucestershire

    Asa Tribe moves on to 37, clipping a leg side ball from Zafar Gohar square for one. One more worked to leg by Colin Ingram.

    Tribe plays and misses a sharply turning ball that goes through to the keeper James Bracey and subsequently defends.

    Ajeet Singh-Dale replaces Tom Price in the attack and Ingram glances to backward square for a single.

    Another leg side ball is clipped fine by Tribe for one more. Ingram moves to 36 driving through point on the back foot.

    Glamorgan looking comfortable for the most part, but that's a peach of a delivery from Singh-Dale that beats the defensive bat of Tribe, nipping away on an off stump line.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Brown c Vaughan b Leach 35published at 14:38 British Summer Time

    Somerset 136 v Hants 159-8

    Five wickets for Jack Leach!

    The reverse sweep eventually brings Ben Brown's downfall.

    Most of his runs have come from sweeps but he's now gone for 35. It's the second top score of the innings and third highest individual score of the match.

    Hants have a lead, but not by much, Kyle Abbott in at 10.

  4. Gloucestershire turn to spinpublished at 14:31 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 113-1 v Gloucestershire

    Zafar Gohar is on after bowling just the one over before the lunch interval.

    Colin Ingram is back and across, driving to long on for one.

    Asa Tribe cuts the fourth ball to deep backward point for three as Gloucestershire captain Graeme van Buuren chases it down.

    One more to Ingram through square leg.

    Tom Price continues at the other end and Ingram carves the second ball through backward point for one.

    This is a tidy line and length from the Gloucestershire seamer, who concedes three more fairly streaky runs, edged by Tribe to deep third.

    A couple of singles off Oliver Hannon-Dalby's 13th over brings a measure of calm and relief for the visitors.

    Jack Haynes misses out as he cracks a wide ball from Craig Miles straight to the fielder at cover.

    What's this? A maiden?

    Good character from Miles and a great response after a chastening first over.

  6. wicket

    WICKET Albert c Rew b Aldridge 77published at 14:28 British Summer Time

    Somerset 136 v Hants 149-7

    A poor shot wafting at a wide one costs Toby Albert a decent chance of earning a third first-class hundred.

    The man who dropped him on 0 yesterday gets revenge 77 runs later having him caught behind off a pretty innocuous delivery and Albert's swish of his bat shows his frustration at his dismissal.

    James Fuller, another decent bat, in at number nine.

  7. Bears struggling to stem the flow of runspublished at 14:23 British Summer Time

    Notts 143-3 v Warwickshire

    Freddie McCann plays a shotImage source, Rex Features

    Warwickshire skipper Alex Davies throws the ball to Craig Miles to try and change the momentum.

    It hasn't worked. Freddie McCann strokes his first ball through midwicket for four and then picks up three with a drive through the offside.

    Four leg byes follow before Jack Haynes gets in on the act, driving through the covers for four more to go to a run-a-ball 21.

    Fifteen from the over.

    It shows what a cracking job Ed Barnard did earlier.

  8. Ingram on the attack after a drop on 13published at 14:22 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 104-1 v Gloucestershire

    Colin Ingram is moving through the gears after that reprieve, twice driving Matt Taylor down the ground for four in the 23rd over.

    He gets a single off the fourth ball and Asa Tribe drives through cover for two.

    Ingram plays inside the line, facing Tom Price and then drives the second ball firmly through long off for four to bring up the innings 100 in 23.2 overs.

    Two more driven through cover followed by a play and miss outside off stump.

    Ingram pushes the last ball into the off side for one to move to 30 off just 24 balls.

  9. Postpublished at 14:18 British Summer Time

    Somerset 136 v Hants 135-6

    It is Kasey Aldridge time at last for Somerset, he had that false start where he was all set atop his mark yesterday but the umpires deemed it too dark for pace bowling.

    After 49 overs he gets to bowl his first ball in the match and he starts well with four dots.

  10. Postpublished at 14:18 British Summer Time

    Notts 128-3 v Warwickshire

    Freddie McCann continues on his merry way.

    Michael Booth digs in a short ball. But it thuds into the Fox Road Stand brickwork as McCann pulls him for four.

    A feather down to third man off Oliver Hannon-Dalby brings two more before Ed Barnard dives over a drive through mid-off to bring McCann yet another four to go to 64.

    He has piled up 50 runs off his last 32 balls.

    Boy, don't you envy the confidence of youth?

  11. dropped catch

    Ingram dropped on 13published at 14:14 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 86-1 v Gloucestershire

    We're down to three slips for Tom Price, who has looked perhaps the most threatening bowler to date here.

    Asa Tribe defends down the ground and drives a wider ball to mid off but there's no run. He'll get a run here though, glancing behind square leg on the front foot.

    A fourth slip comes in. Close! Colin Ingram edges driving on the back foot and he's dropped at third slip by Miles Hammond.

    Tough chance at head height to his left. But he got a hand to it.

  12. Headingley inspection at 14:45 BSTpublished at 14:13 British Summer Time

    Yorkshire v Northants - start delayed, wet outfield

    Things are definitely drying up in Leeds, but conditions aren't quite good enough for any play yet.

    The umpires will take another look in 30 minutes.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Freddie McCannpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time

    Notts 109-3 v Warwickshire

    Oliver Hannon-Dalby tempts a play and miss from Freddie McCann who then responds with another super drive, this time through extra cover for four.

    That brings up the 50 partnership with Jack Haynes, made off just 41 balls.

    McCann plays the next ball late with lovely soft hands to guide OHD through the gully for his ninth boundary.

    It brings up his third first-class fifty in just his fifth match and comes off 87 balls.

    Well batted, lad.

  14. Postpublished at 14:07 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 84-1 v Gloucestershire

    Four slips in for Tom Price now. He's getting shape in and seam movement away from Colin Ingram.

    Ingram leaves the ball at first and then defends into the off side.

    The fourth ball is steered between fourth slip and point for one.

    Three slips for Asa Tribe, who is squared up and edging to deep third for two runs.

    Full with width from Matt Taylor and Ingram drives square on the off side for four. Four more driven through cover.

    Taylor gets one ball to jag in sharply, forcing a defensive shot.

  15. 100 runs

    100 up for Nottinghamshirepublished at 14:06 British Summer Time

    Notts 101-3 v Warwickshire

    Jack Haynes punches through the covers to pick up three.

    That brings up three figures for Nottinghamshire in the 32nd over as the hosts accelerate on what looks a good wicket.

    Notts 98-3 v Warwickshire

    Freddie McCann battingImage source, Rex Features

    Ed Barnard's 14-over spell, spread over two days, is over as Oliver Hannon-Dalby returns, now from the Stuart Broad End.

    Freddie McCann drives through the gap at point for four more.

    Two balls later, OHD goes a little full and the teenager is down on one knee to cut it square through the offside for his fifth boundary of the innings.

    A cover drive off Michael Booth brings McCann a third boundary in five balls and he then cracks the fifth ball of the over down to the third man boundary. He moves to 44.

  17. Postpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 73-1 v Gloucestershire

    Have the slips moved up a tad since lunch? We've seen seam movement but not much carry at times.

    A slice of luck for Colin Ingram, who goes for a flashing drive off Tom Price and lofts the ball over Miles Hammond, who had just moved to third slip, for four.

    Asa Tribe is late on a defensive jab facing Matt Taylor but the ball evades the stumps on the bounce.

  18. Bashir taken down in his first over todaypublished at 13:58 British Summer Time

    Somerset 136 v Hants 118-6

    Ben Brown and Toby Albert reverse sweep almost every ball Shoaib Bashir bowls over the wicket.

    The first two he bowls around the wicket sees a big lbw shout then a four over midwicket.

    Somerset have little answer for these two pair batting busily, a shot a ball.

  19. Postpublished at 13:55 British Summer Time

    Notts 77-3 v Warwickshire

    Jack Haynes is off the mark with two off Ed Barnard but then plays with fire as he takes on a risky single.

    Luckily for him the throw does not end in a direct hit.

    Barnard then lets loose a big appeal as he traps Freddie McCann on the front pad. The cordon don't seem greatly interested though.

    A thick edge down to deep backward point gives Haynes his first boundary - off Michael Booth.

  20. wicket

    WICKET Smale c O Price b T Price 41published at 13:53 British Summer Time

    Glamorgan 69-1 v Gloucestershire

    Two slips in for Tom Price. His second ball is legside and clipped square by Asa Tribe for one.

    Will Smale on 41...

    Edged and caught by Tom's brother Ollie Price at second slip!

    Half forward, squared up and edging low.

    Gloucestershire deserved that breakthrough after a few near misses before lunch.

    One of the members of your team of the season, Colin Ingram, is in at three for the hosts.
