Wondering what you're missing at Utilita Bowl?

Well, nothing. It is still raining, albeit rather finely.

The 50 or so spectators I can count in the stands would have been excited by the ground staff emerging about an hour ago...but they only fiddled with the covers for a few minutes before heading back to cover.

Ben McKinney is really motoring now. Hits a glorious maximum off Freddie McCann over the mid-off boundary and has now walloped Luke Fletcher for a lovely four.

He has quickly moved to 121 (off 128 deliveries) leaving his partner Alex Lees as the anchor (65) at the other end.

This is getting away from the visitors who could do with coming up with a new plan.

Having been asked to bat, and losing two early wickets, Sussex will be happy with the position they've found themselves in.

Daniel Hughes has been the dominant runscorer and proves such with a classical cover drive to move himself to 35 and his team to 50.

Tom Alsop has been playing the survivor role with seven off 42 deliveries so far. Solid stuff.

19-year-old Ben McKinney has reached his first century in County Chanmpionship cricket in just his second appearance in the competition.

He made 35 on his debut at Sussex last year. It was the beginning of the season. But he's had to wait until now to play in it again.

He has hit some gorgeous shots today. He's timed the ball so well and brought up the hundred with a trademark cover drive for four.

Having made his Lions debut last week, the former England Under-19 captain looks set for big things. At the other end Alex Lees has 63.

While we were bringing you news of events elsewhere, Rishi Patel pulled Dom Goodman for six as he and Ian Holland brought up a 50 partnership for Leicestershire in Bristol.

The home side have now turned to Marchant de Lange, their quickest bowler, but his first delivery was slashed away by Holland for four.

Durham 165-0 v Notts

We don't have an action shot of Ben McKinney so this will have to do.

What a moment for the 19-year-old as he reaches a 117-ball century in only his second Championship appearance - and first of the season.

He punches the air after driving Freddie McCann elegantly for the 15th boundary of his innings - a superb knock for his team.

Matt Hurst and George Balderson trying to settle Lancashire into the afternoon session.

Hurst feasted on a wide one from Jordan Clark to slap it away to the cover fence.

And he's gone after another with some width from Tom Lawes and takes him up and over cover for four more.

Asking Warwickshire to have a bat looked a good call by Somerset's stand-in captain, Craig Overton, when he made it under grey, drizzly skies with a chill breeze blowing across the ground.

But when play finally got under way under sunny skies, an hour or so later, it wasn't looking quite so obvious - and by lunch, with Warwickshire having made largely untroubled progress to 56-1 on a slow, flat pitch, it was looking distinctly questionable.

Somerset do have one wicket to show for their enterprise, when Alex Davies chased a short, wide one from Kasey Aldridge, to be caught behind. But on the evidence so far, this is a day for batting, rather than bowling.

Jonny Bairstow takes a thud to the back of his head when trying to get down to a ball down the legside.

It took an awkward bounce and the wicketkeeper is on his haunches rubbing his head between overs.

He waves away the physio and continues.

Durham 147-0 v Notts

Wonder what Notts are making of their decision to put Durham in now?

Alex Lees nudges spinner Freddie McCann away for a single and reached 50 off 114 balls.

Another solid knock by the England opener, who has been content to play in teenager Ben McKinney's shadow in this innings.

In these conditions, you need a bit of luck, and Daniel Hughes gets some.

Jordan Thompson has returned and switched ends. He finds a patch outside the off stump that jumps up and finds the edge of Hughes' bat.

There is no gully, who would have had a comfortable catch had he existed, and four runs for the Australian - who is up to 27.

Shot of the day at Derby where Dan Douthwaite drives Pat Brown straight back down the pitch for four. The Glamorgan all-rounder has 31 not out in their 73-6. Conditions looking a little bit easier now.

Rishi Patel has started well for Leicestershire at Bristol - he has 23 and they are 35-0 in the 11th over against Gloucestershire.

Brett Hutton drops short at the start of a new over and Ben McKinney has all the time in the world to pull it away for four runs.

The youngster adds a single and progresses to 86 not out from 99 balls.
