Sussex 60-5 v Hants 226

Daniel Hughes couldn't believe it but that's a huge wicket. He had a good hard look but Kyle Abbott has got the wicket. I think Hughes was actually cross with himself, he slammed his bat into his pad.
Sussex are in deep, deep trouble.
Robson lbw Aitchison 10 (Middx 29-1 v Derbys 283)
First wicket of the day at Lord's.
Ben Aitchison straightens one off the seam and hits Sam Robson's pad. The opener knows he's gone and barely looks at the umpire before heading back to the dressing room.
Hughes lbw Abbott 21 (Sussex 60-5 v Hants 226)
Kyle Abbott strikes again and Sussex are in danger of capitulating.
Daniel Hughes is forward to block into the off side and struck on the knee in front of off stump.
Looked close... and given.
Sussex captain John Simpson will try to steady the ship.
Worcs 182 v Notts 69-2
Freddie McCann is troubled bit by Ben Allison, who draws him forward to get him playing and missing outside the off stump.
But the last ball is in the slot and driven through wide long off for four.
Sliced that shot a bit but plenty of power and timing.
Somerset 159-4 v Yorks
Tight stuff from Yorkshire so far this morning - just four runs conceded from six overs and the bonus of James Rew's early wicket.
Leics v Glos 417-7
Gloucestershire have three more overs to score 33 runs and earn a fifth batting point.

Worcs 182 v Notts 63-2
Freddie McCann takes three fours off Tom Taylor's latest over, driving with a thick edge wide of the slips, via a more controlled steer and finally with a crunching cut through point.
The Notts runs are flowing.
Essex v Durham 333
Jamie Porter removes Callum Parkinson's off stump for a four-ball duck. Snorter.
Durham have added 17 this morning but Essex picked up the two wickets they needed.
The hosts have extended their advantage in this basement battle to 13 points.
Porter finishes with 4-77.
Essex will now seek to bat long, and quickly, you'd imagine. Durham want early wickets.
Sussex 56-4 v Hants 226
Sussex passed the 50 mark in 25.1 overs via a back foot cover drive from Tom Alsop for four runs off James Fuller.
Not a bad way to get off the mark.
Daniel Hughes is forward to Kyle Abbott, blocking with an inside edge into the on side.
The last ball runs away down the leg side for four byes.
More sharp movement off the seam.
Barnard c Foakes b Atkinson 50 - Surrey 246 v Warwickshire 136-5
Beauty from Gus Atkinson who gets the ball to move away from Ed Barnard, finding the outside edge as Barnard jams the bat down and feathering an edge through to Ben Foakes behind the timbers.
Just what Surrey wanted.
Dan Mousley joins Will Young, who has 37*.
Worcs 182 v Notts 50-2

Ben Slater had a good long look at it, he needed some removing there, he just couldn't quite take it in that either he'd nicked it or that'd he'd been given out.

No luck yet for Kent at Canterbury, where Lancashire have moved on to 31-0 after 12 overs, having bowled out the home side for 293 on day one.
Conners c&b Bracewell 24 - Essex v Durham 332-9
Timely wicket for Essex.
Sam Conners just gets through his attempted clip into the on side a little early and loops a miscue back to Doug Bracewell who takes a tumbling catch to his left.
Maximum bowling points for Essex. Durham 18 shy of a third batting poimt.
Callum Parkinson joins Graham Clark trying to find them.
Slater c Roderick b Allison 24 (Worcs 182 v Notts 50-2)
Worcestershire and Ben Allison strike early.
Ben Slater had brought up the Notts 50 in 111 balls glancing Taylor around the corner but he's out in the next over.
Beautiful line and length, squaring the opener up on the crease and a thin edge goes through to the keeper.
Joe Clarke is in at four for Notts.
Essex v Durham 330-8
Lovely stroke from Graham Clark as Jamie Porter overpitches slightly, allowing Clark to punch to the long-off rope for four runs.
Porter responds by getting one to shape away from the right-hander who wafts his bat but survives the scare and cashes in with a lovely cover drive for another boundary.
Durham need 20 more for a second batting point. Clark is 36*.

That early breakthrough is just what Hampshire would have wanted this morning because what you don't want is your nightwatchman hanging around for half an hour or so.
Surrey 246 v Warwickshire 134-4
Nicely done, Ed Barnard.
Came in at 47-4 but got to work and hit eight boundaries last night and a couple of singles this morning has seen him bring up his half century from 73 balls.
Bears are 112 behind.
Leics v Glos 398-7
Two part-time spinners bowling in tandem for Leicestershire - so it looks like improving their over-rate is of equal importance to taking wickets at the moment.
Rishi Patel beats Matt Taylor, but the Gloucestershire tailender responds with a cover drive for four.
