Essex 582-6d v Surrey 17-1
Sam Cook is always a threat for Essex and he gets one past the outside edge of Ollie Pope's bat.
The new ball is key for Essex here, they will want another wicket before it's threat subsides.
Cook appeals for LBW against Pope but gets a shake of the head from the umpire.

What an early breakthrough!
I think that's the one Essex really wanted as well.
That one has just moved, we haven't seen much movement but that one really did. It came back in at him and Dom Sibley didn't have an answer to it.
It also shows just what the extra pace of Sam Cook can bring to this and how important the new ball is.
Surrey have now got to weather this storm a little bit and get through to tea without the loss of anymore wickets.
Middlesex 260 v Lancashire 221-4
Scott Read
BBC Radio Lancashire
In the winter, Lancashire announced the signing of an international opening batsman and in the opening game of the season they've decided to play him at four.
But it's sound logic. It's a position which needed to be filled.
Losing two experienced players in recent seasons, Dane Vilas and Steven Croft, has left them vulnerable, and they've needed to rely on some younger players, in a key position, including 16-year-old Rocky Flintoff last year.
So the arrival of Marcus Harris will be welcomed in both the dressing room and in the stands. A debut half-century for the Australian is the perfect way to start.
Somerset 442-4 (lead by 288) v Worcs 154

The fifth and final batting bonus point is incoming.
Glamorgan 229 v Leicestershire 276-6
Nick Webb
BBC Radio Wales
A fourth-wicket stand of 142 between Lewis Hill and Peter Handscomb tightened Leicestershire’s grip on proceedings in Cardiff as they built the foundations of a significant first-innings lead.
Hill, who stepped down as captain after a poor 2024, looked set for an aggressive century until he was run out on 96 by a direct hit from Sam Northeast, having struck 15 fours and a six.
His captaincy successor Peter Handscomb was typically well-organised on his way to 64 off 100 balls before top-edging Andy Gorvin to mid-wicket just before Hill’s self-inflicted exit.
The departures were welcome relief for a toiling Glamorgan attack in bright and breezy conditions, with Rishi Patel almost certain not to bat after dislocating his thumb.
Sibley LBW b Cook 3 (Essex 582-6d v Surrey 8-1)
Image source, Rex FeaturesAn early one for Essex.
Sam Cook bowls full and straight - Dom Sibley just misses it and knows what is coming as he looks up to see the umpire's finger raised.
Ollie Pope is the new man for Surrey and tucks his first ball away for four.
Essex 582-6d v Surrey 8-0
A first boundary of the Surrey innings as Jamie Porter drops one short and wide and Rory Burns cuts it away to the rope.
Notts 120-1 v Durham 378
Ben Raine runs down the wicket, right arm aloft, convinced he has found the inside edge of Freddie McCann's forward defensive push.
Umpire Graham Lloyd does not agree.
Raine then beats the outside, twice, in successive balls. Super over but no reward.
Warks 50-0 v Sussex 528
In quick time the home side have got 50 on the board for no loss.
Nine boundaries in the total tells you how attacking the Sussex field settings are.
Hampshire 249 v Yorkshire 121 & 66-3
Kevan James
BBC Radio Solent commentator
It's looking good for Hampshire. They are in a very good position at the moment.
Yorkshire have been playing a bit of catch up after being bowled out for 121 on the first day.
#bbccricket
The wickets continue to tumble at Northampton where Kent have lost six wickets in the afternoon session.
They sit on 115-7 in their second innings - Joey Evison unbeaten on 23 - and are 203 runs ahead. They will be thanking their lucky stars for that first-innings lead.
At Lord's, Marcus Harris has moved to 46 as Lancashire have moved on to 198-4 in a slow-moving match. They trail Middlesex by 62.
Wayne Madsen has fallen for a fine 118 which could prove decisive for Derbyshire at home to Gloucestershire. They have reached 341-8, a first innings lead of 119.
And Leicestershire are in a strong position against Glamorgan, despite losing Lewis Hill for 96 and Peter Handscomb for 63 in quick succession.
The Foxes are 45 runs ahead on 274-5.
Essex 582-6d v Surrey 0-0
We are back out at Chelmsford.
Jamie Porter is opening the bowling from the Sir Alastair Cook End and the Surrey captain Rory Burns calmly plays out the first three balls.
There is some tough batting ahead of the champions.
Warks 37-0 v Sussex 528
After a few early scares, Warwickshire are rattling along now at more than four runs per over.
Rob Yates drives Jayden Seales away to the backward point fence and then opens the face of the bat to guide the next one also to the boundary.
Sussex's bowlers are finding out the hard way this is not easy but they are still on the attack with four slips.
Somerset 405-4 (lead by 251 runs) v Worcs 154
And with a single off Brett D'Oliveira, Tom Banton brings up a first double hundred of his career. 241 deliveries, 33 fours and barely a chance offered.
He jams his bat down on a full delivery and squirts the ball out towards square leg and runs through for a single.
This innings has been a study in discipline with the T20 man resisting the urge to go over the ropes. And it has helped to put Somerset in total control of this match and beats his previous best of 133 by a country mile.
Notts 112-1 v Durham 378
Paul Coughlin slides one past the outside edge as Freddie McCann pushes forward in defensive mode.
Coughlin has been pretty tidy this afternoon, but his string of dots is abruptly broken next ball as McCann smashes him into the boundary boards beneath the Smith Cooper Stands for four.
It moves him to 20 and brings up the 50 partnership with Ben Slater, coming off 86 balls.
Dawid Malan c Brown b Wheal 37 (Yorks 53-3 & 121) v Hants 249
Malan was looking quite comfortable but Brad Wheal has struck again – his third of the afternoon – sending one down on fifth stump and enticing the former England man into a waft and an edge behind, Ben brown taking the grab.
Yorkshire still trail by 75 and that brings Jonny Bairstow to the wicket with a captain's innings needed.
Notts 108-1 trail Durham by 270. Slater 65.

Ben Slater enjoys playing Durham. His highest score in FC cricket is 225* in a win in Chester-le-Street in 2022.
He now has eight half-centuries against them as well, following his 50 today which included 10 fours.
Durham thought they had him caught behind on 35 but umpire Graeme Lloyd said he wasn't out. Bowler Matthew Potts was celebrating with his colleagues at the time.
On a good batting track, is this going to be another occasion where Slater cashes in against Durham?
He's just hit three boundaries in one over off George Drissell.
Thain c Roach b Lawrence 26 (Essex 582-6 v Surrey)
Noah Thain has scored a useful 26 but drives straight to Kemar Roach at mid-off.
That wicket brings the Essex declaration.
Dan Lawrence finishes with 3-169.
Notts 108-1 v Durham 378
Freddie McCann plays out a maiden to Paul Coughlin.
In the next, Ben Slater cuts spinner George Drissell through backward point and it creeps across the slow outfield to the boundary.
It brings up three figures for the hosts who are making steady inroads into the deficit as they reply to Durham's decent first-innings total.
Slater is getting into his stride and carves two more boundaries off Drissell's over to move to 65.
Essex 571-5 v Surrey
This is now Essex's second highest first class total against Surrey.
Their best is the 610-8 they made in April 2015.
They have just gone past the 570 they scored at Brentwood back in 1934.
