A couple staying low, a couple jumping a tad. With the nip as well this is not a fun time to bat at Scarborough.

Plays and misses has been the story since Tom Clark's dismissal, with watchful endurance needed from Daniel Hughes and Tom Alsop.

The better news for Sussex is the sun that has burst through, which should, in theory, make things easier.

After driving the opening ball of the game for four, Prithvi Shaw has rather set the tone.

Ethan Bamber has twice been straight driven for four - the first of them in the air - and Toby Roland-Jones clipped through square leg and then driven past cover for further boundaries.

A very bright start for Northants having been sent in.

Leg-spinner Calvin Harrison kicks things off after lunch going for a single in the first over.

Dan Douthwaite clips Zak Chappell through mid-wicket for four and then edges over the slips for another as Glamorgan reach 51-6 in the 21st over at Derby.

Back to back fours off Dom Goodman take Rishi Patel to 14 not out and Leicestershire to 17-0 in the seventh over of their rain-interrupted game at Bristol.

A first change of bowling from Yorkshire as George Hill enters the attack in place of Jordan Thompson (1-10 from five overs)

A loosener first up as Daniel Hughes takes the width and smashes it through the covers.

But afterwards, the fast bowler begins to build the pressure again, ending his six with one that wraps Hughes high on the pads.

That has been Warwickshire's 'mini' session with the hosts reaching 56-1 in 15 overs after a delayed start.

Somerset skipper Craig Overton's decision to insert was perhaps understandable given the conditions at the toss but batting has looked easier as the session progressed with 11 boundaries.

That one breakthrough, Alex Davies edging a loose ball from Kasey Aldridge to James Rew behind the stumps, does give Somerset something to build on when they come back from lunch.

With half the side 23 years old or under, this really is a glimpse into the future of Lancashire cricket after they embarked on a transition season with senior players leaving or being phased out and youngsters being given a chance.

Two of the kids will have the task of resuming after lunch - on GCSE results day, 16-year-old Rocky Flintoff and 20-year-old Matthew Hurst face the toughest Championship test possible against the Division's strongest side.

Flintoff has had a touch of good fortune this morning, edges put down or flashed over the slips, but he carries himself in a way that belies his age. He looks to dominate in both defence and attack, and he hasn't looked a bit out of place.

It's dried up in North London but my days is it windy.

The camera feed is enough to give you sea sickness.

Prithvi Shaw leans out to drive the first ball of the match from Ethan Bamber away through point for four.

For most smart-speaker devices all you need to do is ask BBC Sounds to play the full title of the event you want.

So, for example, just say "ask BBC Sounds to play Surrey v Lancashire".

Ben Coad is really testing Daniel Hughes with in-jaggers that are leaping on the batter. The Australian was struck on the pad and the elbow in a challenging over.

This is going to be a really testing spell after a couple of hours under the covers.

We are under way again at Derby and a couple for Dan Douthwaite has taken Glamorgan to 35-6 after 15 overs.

At Bristol, where Leicestershire are 5-0, the umpires are hoping to re-start play at 13:30.

There were a few early shouts for Somerset but Warwickshire's openers are starting to look comfortable, ticking along at four an over.

Seemingly nothing much in the pitch with Rob Yates and Alex Davies having all the time in the world to pick their shots.

Not long until the introduction of Jack Leach's spin perhaps.

Things are a little brighter at North Marine Road and we have some more play following a lengthy hold-up.

A couple of singles for Daniel Hughes off Ben Coad and Jordan Thompson are the only additions so far.

Well that could not have gone much better for the hosts with Alex Lees (45) and Ben McKinney (74) striding off unbroken at lunch.

Nottinghamshire will be hugely disappointed not to have carved out more chances having put them in, their best chance coming when McKinney edged Calvin Harrison through slip and keeper.

The seamers did not get much change with Olly Stone (0-42 from his seven overs) probably wishing he had stayed in the nets at Old Trafford.

"None shall pass." Like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, that has very much been Ben Compton's mindset at New Road.

The Kent opener picks up his first boundary in the penultimate over of the morning with a thick edge through the slip cordon off Tom Taylor.

Ethan Brookes bowls the final one, it's a maiden and Compton goes into lunch with 20 not out from 75 balls.

Tawanda Muyeye earlier made 56 off 64 balls before Worcestershire hit back with Joe Leach taking three wickets in his second spell.
