Glamorgan have reached lunch just one down and they will be pleased with that.

There were umpteen edges and lbw shouts on a green pitch under leaden skies, but the wicket when it did come was the result of a poor shot from Billy Root off Ben Mike.

Eddie Byrom will resume on 41 not out.

The Foxes will need to regroup.

Another huge appeal falls on deaf ears at Grace Road.

Ben Mike crashes one into the pads of Marnus Labuschagne, but no dice. Perhaps sliding down leg, but a decent shout and the appeal lingers long.

The Australian takes a couple off the next ball and gets off the mark with his 10th delivery.

The Foxes won't want this guy to settle.

Kent v Essex 100-0

A 72nd first class fifty for Dean Elgar.

This one has been among the most straightforward, you'd imagine. Barring a couple of balls which have beaten the edge, the 36-year-old has looked unflustered.

He brings it up from 83 balls with his sixth four, clipped through midwicket off Matt Parkinson, just beating the dive of Zak Crawley on the rope.

It also brings up the Essex 100.

Ben Sanderson has been head and shoulders ahead of all the other Northamptonshire seamers this morning.

Jack White is obviously feeling his way back a little bit, Luke Procter has been tidy and Siddharth Kaul perhaps not at his best this morning.

We may get to see Justin Broad at some point.

A somewhat ungainly pull shot by James Rew but it brings him four runs past mid-on off Ben Stokes.

Somerset fans won't thank us for saying this, but at the moment it looks like batting is just a little bit easier than earlier at the Riverside. Just a little.

Jamie Smith goes bang-bang-bang to race to 14 off 13 balls.

He cracks three successive fours off a frustrated Michael Neser, the third a lovely cover drive off a decent ball.

Can he swing momentum back Surrey's way before the break.

Northants v Yorkshire 78-0

Adam Lyth marks his 200th County Championship game by passing 50 for the fifth time this season.

He turns Luke Procter through square leg for four before running the next ball down to the third man boundary.

A single follows to take Lyth to his half-century from 82 balls faced. He is in great form at the moment.

Michael Neser is back on after a breather, replacing Felix Organ.

He gets a little bounce from his third ball, but Jamie Smith plays back to it and gets off the mark with a single.

No, make that two as a wild throw to the bowler's end brings a buzzer.

Big play and miss as Smith tries to cut hard at Neser's final ball and it flies through to wicketkeeper Ben Brown.

From a Hampshire point of view, there's not too many times you see Ollie Pope get out for a low score. He averages 114 against them.

Solid defence by Tom Banton, who plays out a Ben Stokes maiden. The England skipper has 2-19 from five overs so far.

Not much in the way of peril at Canterbury this morning.

After working his way through his seam options, Kent skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond has opted to have a look at spin 25 minutes before lunch.

The off-spin of Marcus O'Riordan has been chosen to face the two lefties at the top of the order. Matt Parkinson is of course waiting in the wings.

It's a maiden over to start.

Four wickets have fallen in the first 18 overs this morning, with England skipper Ben Stokes taking two of them in his first two overs.

He had Matt Renshaw caught behind for five and then took the wicket of Tom Lammonby for 22, also pouched by the keeper.

The Lammonby dismissal came a ball after Andy Umeed was dropped in the gully by Graham Clark off Stokes.

Umeed fell in the next over though, edging Peter Siddle to Colin Ackermann at second slip for nine. Siddle then pulled up moments later. Seemed to point to his rib area. Completed the last two deliveries and left the field.

There is quite a bit of green in the track and we have had a few wet days in the North East so the ball is doing a bit for the bowlers.

Liam Dawson is down on his haunches after a huge appeal for lbw against Ollie Pope.

The umpire is unmoved and Dawson takes his time before hopping to his feet again. Perhaps it didn't quite do enough.

It's spin at both ends as Felix Organ sends down his second over.

A single apiece as Pope moves to 15 and Rory Burns to 33.

How much will Hants come to regret that missed stumping off Burns on 22?.

Durham v Somerset 54-4

Ben Stokes decides to test out Tom Banton with a bouncer.

It doesn't pay off as the Somerset batter pulls it over backward square for six.

Great Caribbean-style shot and it takes the Somerset total past 50.

Peter Siddle has had to go off so Ben Raine will start a new spell.
