Jordan Thompson can be a dangerous customer with the bat, and having drilled Ben Sanderson over cover for six in his previous over, he drives in more orthodox fashion for a boundary to reach 50 off just 47 balls. His partnership with Matthew Revis is worth 79.

It's a measure of how good David Bedingham's innings was that Ollie Robinson is the only other batter to pass 20.

Callum Parkinson could become the third - he square drives Jake Ball for four and is now 15 not out.

Jacob Bethell scrambles a single to take his side into three figures in the seventh over of the morning.

Slow and steady, with Lancs probably feeling they are another quick wicket away from taking a commanding grip on this match.

Marchant de Lange directs one in to Matthew Lamb's body, but the Derbyshire batter gets a glove on it and the single secures the fifth batting point for his side.

Lamb is now 195 not out in a monumental innings for his side.

Ben Raine is off the mark by slicing Craig Overton aerially through backward point for four.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that one, though, as a textbook cover drive brings Raine four more.

Toby Albert is warming to his task here and guides Sean Abbott's second ball away for his fourth boundary.

Three balls later and then flicks legside for four more to move to 46. Good timing there from the youngster.

The Bears skipper brings up his 39th first class half-century from 121 balls with seven fours, nudging a George Balderson delivery off his pads to long leg.

A disciplined knock in the circumstances.

The only other two times the 29-year-old reached the milestone he went on to score 256 and 149. How his side could use another of those innings.

Jacob Bethell eventually gets off the mark after nine balls with a nice thick edge past the slips to the rope.

Last night David Bedingham became the first Durham player to score centuries in four consecutive innings. But strangely, in the last three he's been dismissed not long after reaching three figures.

While he made 144 at Hampshire two weeks ago, he was out for 101 and 103 at Blackpool and now 101 again. He edged the third delivery of the day from Jake Ball to the keeper.

In a tight game Durham were 180-7 at the time and leading by nine runs. Ball's figures of 4-41 are his best against Durham and his best for Somerset.

It was gloomy yesterday, with lots of low, heavy-looking cloud over Chester-le-Street. It is nice and sunny today, so batting conditions should be better. We'll see if that proves to be the case!

Just a couple of runs so far at Lord's where Sussex are 297-4 against Middlesex - Cheteshwar Pujara has yet to add to his overnight 91 not out.

Yorkshire, though, are in positive mood and a flurry of early fours has taken them to 337-7 at Northampton, with Jordan Thompson on 33.

Glamorgan are 359-9 at Grace Road following the early loss of Sam Northeast. James Harris has been joined by number 11 Mir Hamza.

Derbyshire are 447-5 against Gloucestershire - a Matthew Lamb boundary at the start of a new Marchant de Lange over takes him to 192 not out.

Sean Abbott gets a little bit of bounce out of the used pitch but Toby Albert deals with it well, dropping his hands and evading the lifting delivery.

The 22-year-old has impressed and is setting his first-class best score. That's 38 from 156 balls. Postively Boycott-esque.

Maiden and the deficit remains at 19.

A second batting bonus point for the visitors, and they have 10 overs and change remaining to find another.

Jordan Cox brings it up with a single to deep square off Grant Stewart. He has 62 with Michael Pepper on 37. Their partnership is 75 from 115 balls.

David Bedingham just pushed at that outside his off stump, a faint edge through to Jathe South AfricanBedingham in only the second over of the morning.

A wonderful innings of 101 but he'll be bitterly disappointed to have gone so early on this sunny morning perfect for batting.

A perfect start for Somerset.

A touching moment before play this morning with a minute's applause for the late Worcs spinner Josh Baker.

Dillon Pennington, one of several former Pears making their return to New Road, opens up at the other end.

A tidy over, two singles from former Notts man Jake Libby and one for Ed Pollock.

Just a couple of scoring shots in the opening two overs at Old Trafford.

Alex Davies moves to 48 with Dan Mousley on two.

We have an extended day in Manchester of course, 104 overs on the slate after the weather hampered day one.

This pitch is slowish, flattish and difficult to make runs on but bowlers having to be very patient for their chances come few and far between.

Quite a lot of cloud today but the sun has broken out this morning.
