Lancs 10-0 v Durham
Keaton Jennings has rarely been renowned as a dasher, but the Lancashire captain has just injected some impetus against his former county, cracking Matthew Potts for two boundaries in three balls.
Jennings has contributed all 10 runs of the Red Rose total so far, with Luke Wells yet to get off the mark.
Somerset 18-1 v Kent
A bit of respite for the hosts as Tom Lammonby drives Beyers Swanepoel for four and picks up four more turned to square leg.
A slightly ragged over from Swanepoel after a great start with the wicket of Sean Dickson.
Four more to deep backward square leg.
Essex v Warwicks 14-0
It's not quite T20 season yet, but this is a decent start for the Bears at Chelmsford.
Alex Davies and Rob Yates have taken seven runs apiece off the first four overs from Jamie Porter and Sam Cook.
Surrey 9-1 v Worcs

Rory Burns has missed an attempted scoop to leg off Nathan Smith and is trapped in front of middle.
That ball looked a bit low too. Barely above ankle height.
Ollie Pope is in next and in need of runs after a lean spell thus far in 2024 with Surrey.
A top score of 44 in five innings so far for Pope.
Notts 0-1 v Hants
Image source, Rex FeaturesEven better than three maidens, a wicket - and Hampshire have one of those now!
Mohammad Abbas gets one to leave Ben Slater and the left-hander tickles it behind for wicketkeeper Ben Brown to clasp it safely.
Will Young is the new man in for Notts.
Somerset 2-1 v Kent
Beyers Swanepoel is looking really dangerous and comes close to getting the other opener out as Matt Renshaw plays and misses with a crooked bat outside off stump.
He gets away with a leg bye and Tom Lammonby sees out the over.
Essex v Warwickshire 13-0

The pitch looks very dry.
Normally you get a bit of grass around on day one but it looks like a much later in the season pitch than it is.

Rory Burns is only dealing in boundaries so far.
Nathan Smith bowls just outside off stump and Burns is forward, closing the face of the bat at the last moment to tap the ball through mid wicket for his second four.
No early alarm for Surrey so far.
Notts 0-0 v Hants

Hampshire have got such a terrific record up here in Nottingham.
They'll be looking to get their first win of the campaign.
Lancs 2-0 v Durham

It's a cloudy start to the day but we're starting on time.
We are going to see a certain Ben Stokes play his first County Championship match for two years.
We've also got Nathan Lyon in the Lancashire side so it's a real star studded line-up for this fixture and we're expecting a pretty big crowd to develop.

Hampshire certainly won't be too unhappy with their economy rate so far this morning - they've started with three maidens in a row.
Keith Barker has sent down two of those, with Mohammad Abbas delivering the other. Notts openers Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater are clearly biding their time.
Somerset 0-1 v Kent
A maiden for Grant Stewart and now Beyers Swanepoel has struck in his first over!
Sean Dickson is caught behind for a fourth ball duck.
Tom Lammonby is in at three for the hosts.
Surrey 4-0 v Worcs
Not the best start for Joe Leach, who drifts wide of leg stump with his second ball, allowing an easy glance for Rory Burns through square leg for four.
Nathan Smith will bowl to Dom Sibley.
Glamorgan 0-0 v Middlesex
Returning Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne is opening for Glamorgan in Cardiff.
It's his first game in more than two months. The 28-year-old scored 90 and six in his last outing for Australia in the second Test against New Zealand in March.

Here come Rory Burns and Dom Sibley at a sun-kissed Oval.
Joe Leach will bowl the first ball of the match to Burns.
Essex v Warwicks 0-0
Both these sides suffered setbacks last time out, with Essex edged out by Somerset in a low-scoring encounter at Taunton while Warwickshire were heavily beaten by defending champions Surrey.
The Bears are having a bat at Chelmsford after Alex Davies won the toss and he'll be opening alongside Rob Yates.
There are two changes to the visitors' pace attack, with New Zealander Michael Rae making his Warwickshire debut along with Barbadian-born Che Simmons.
Somerset 0-0 v Kent
Openers Matt Renshaw and Sean Dickson are in the middle and Renshaw will face George Garrett to get us started.
Notts 0-0 v Hants
Veteran all-rounder Keith Barker makes his first appearance of the season for Hampshire, who could do with a win to kick-start their campaign.
Barker is handed the ball straight away this morning, after Hampshire skipper James Vince won the toss and sent Nottinghamshire in. He'll open proceedings against Notts skipper Haseeb Hameed, who made a magnificent unbeaten 247 in his last outing.
We're ready to go.
All nine matches getting under way on time. Lovely stuff!
