All over!

Peter Siddle tries to push the final ball of Simon Harmer's 45th over into the offside and it takes an inside edge onto his off stump.

It brings up 450 first-class wickets for the South African spinner. Boy, he's had to work for them!

Two bowling points for Essex and a maximum five batting points for the visitors.

Oooof!

Almost a first wicket for Dane Paterson as he induces a first play and miss from Tom Lammonby.

The Somerset batter withdraws his bat, but it was most certainly after the event and the ball flies through to wicketkeeper Tom Moores.

Notts have tightened things up nicely here with three successive maidens.

Lyndon James runs in for the first time this morning, replacing Dillon Pennington, with lunch on the horizon.

Northants 279 v Glamorgan 133-2

While Australia continue to come to terms with their World T20 defeat by Afghanistan, it's business as usual for one of their own as Marnus Labuschagne reached 50 off 64 balls at Sophia Gardens.

Perfect timing as he whips a floated delivery from Liam Patterson-White for four. Quality stroke. Quality batter.

Four more runs to Luke Wells, who holds the pose after driving through cover on the front foot.

Nine runs come in the over, bowled by Jas Singh.

Michael O'Riordan comes into the Kent attack in the 37th over and the off spinner gets a bit of turn into Josh Bohannon.

But his next ball is flicked to fine leg and beats Ben Compton to the fence for four.

The Lancashire 150 comes two balls later via a cut to deep backward point by Bohannon.

Two wickets in quick succession for Gloucestershire's Dom Goodman as Conor McKerr is caught at gully for 17, leaving Yorkshire on 437-9 in their first innings at Scarborough.

Leicestershire have halted their slump - for now - at Hove and are 68-4 after 13 overs, replying to Sussex's 442 all out.

Marnus Labuschagne is closing on a 50 for Glamorgan against Northants - two successive fours off Liam Patterson-White take him to 45 not out and the total to 128-2.

Derbyshire have begun their first innings at Lord's and are 12-0 after two overs, having finally bowled Middlesex out for 433.

Muhammad Abbas bowls to Jacob Bethell, who leaves a wide ball back of a length outside off.

Maiden over.

Dan Mousley gets a single into the off side facing James Fuller and Bethell moves to 11 with three runs leaning back and driving into the off side.

Mousley moves to 39 with a drive down the ground off the same bowler. That ball nearly struck Bethell at the other end but he evades it in the nick of time.

Dan Lawrence has been trying to shield James Taylor from the strike.

Perhaps there's no need.

Matthew Waite drops short and the Surrey tail-ender pulls it fiercely away for four to open his account.

How great it must be to stride back towards the Lord's pavilion and receive the applause for an unbeaten century.

Sadly, we will never know that feeling - but Middlesex's Ryan Higgins does.

A change in the Notts attack as Dane Paterson replaces Olly Stone after his four-over burst.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore takes a fancy to the new man, launching his fourth ball for a six and then adds a boundary to the final ball of his first over.

Tom Lammonby joins the party with the second boundary of his innings off Dillon Pennington.

Somerset are picking up the pace on what looks a beaut of a day for batting.

After a standout year 12 months ago, 2024 hasn't so far gone to plan for Josh Bohannon.

Since his debut in 2018, its been a pretty steady upward curve, so he can be forgiven for a slow start to a season for the first time in his career.

Division One's leading run scorer last season has managed just one previous 50 this time around and will be warnly welcomed in the Lancashire dressing room.

The T20 Blast probably came at a good time for this fine Lancashire number three, maybe just helping to free up the shackles of the challenge of batting in April.

Kent 244 v Lancs 134-1

That's his second 50 of the season and his first since his 84 in the opening round of the summer against Surrey at Old Trafford.

He reaches the landmark with successive fours off Jas Singh, tucking a leg side ball round the corner and then cutting a short ball from the bowler through cover point.

92 balls and eight fours.

Luke Wells feasts on a leg side ball from Beyers Swanepoel and taps the ball behind square on the front foot for four.

Four more off a near identical shot through square leg.

Swanepoel bowls a much better line to the right-handed Josh Bohannon, who defends the fifth ball and drives the last one through mid on for a single.

10 off the over.

Ryan Higgins' quite magnificent innings of 163 comes to an end as Wayne Madsen pouches the chance to give Luis Reece a first wicket.

His 226-ball knock featured 16 fours and four sixes and helped Middlesex add 71 runs for the last wicket with Ethan Bamber who finishes unbeaten on 28.

Derbyshire now face an awkward spell before lunch.

Jacob Bethell pushes Muhammad Abbas into the off side and Dan Mousley calls his batting partner through for a quick single.

This pair have put on 23 since the fifth wicket fell and nerves might be settling just a fraction in the Warwickshire ranks.

Dan Mousley drives the fourth ball for a single and Bethell sees out the over, leaving outside off stump.

Ben Raine milks Simon Harmer for a single, taking hm to 28 off 29 balls, and moving Durham on to 550 midway through the 116th over.

A great sliding stop from Shane Snater on the deep backward square leg boundary denies Matthew Potts a boundary. Some commitment that.

Surrey have lost their eighth wicket and they just need to be a little bit careful here because what they don't want is for Dan Lawrence to run out of partners.
