346 the record opening partnership for Somerset back in 1892 v Yorkshire at Taunton.
Derbyshire's Alex Thomson has taken a couple of wickets as the visitors have turned the game well in their favour at Gloucestershire - the hosts put on 68 for the opening wicket but have dropped to 119-6.
Middlesex have done almost the opposite at Northants - started badly to slip to 33-3 but recovering well to approach a first batting point at 233-6 with the partnership between Joe Cracknell (29no) and Luke Hollman (41no) at 73 runs and counting.
Taylor lbw Santner 4 (Worcs 135-7 v Surrey)
Mitchell Santner strikes.

Durham v Sussex 180-4
Matthew Potts finds the edge of John Simpson's bat and it's a regulation catch at slip, well it should be but it hits the grass as Will Rhodes fails to hang on and, just to make matters worse,for the bowler it goes for four as well.

Lancashire v Kent 129-2
Image source, Rex FeaturesJames Anderson looking a tad frustrated here.

Essex 172-5 v Hants
Charlie Allison hit Liam Dawson for six over extra cover not long ago and the 20-year-old does so again here.
He uses his feet to good effect and smashes it over cow corner into the stands.
Allison moves on to 39.

Lancashire v Kent 106-2
Back under way a few minutes earlier than suggested at Blackpool.

Cameron Bancroft's fine stint comes to an end, the Gloucestershire opener caught behind off Derbyshire bowler Zak Chappell for a patiently-compiled 58 off 127 balls from the Aussie.
The Glos innings could go either way at 110-4.
Joe Cracknell and Luke Hollman are leading a decent Middlesex rally at Northants. The visitors were 33-3 and 95-4 but have clambered to 207-6 thanks partly to this 47 partnership.
Tribe c Handscomb b van Beek 107 (Leicestershire v Glamorgan 178-3)
Asa Tribe has to go for 107 off 171 balls.

Michael Pepper joins Charlie Allison in the middle.
Warwickshire v Somerset 135-0
Harry Everett
BBC Sport from Edgbaston
Josh Davey clips another four off his legs, Ollie Hannon-Dalby having his skipper Alex Davies stood up, then straying too straight, desperately looking for an lbw or bowled.
My press box colleagues are questioning whether they accidentally picked a Dukes not a Kooka out of the spare ball box as a ball jumps off the seam out of nowhere to Davey for a bye Davies had little chance of taking.
Brookes c Burns b N Smith 11 (Worcs 118-6 v Surrey)
Okay, maybe we jinxed it (see 1453 BST)...
Nathan Smith, against his former club, picks up his first wicket of the day.
There is little Ethan Brookes can do as the ball follows him and flicks his glove through to Burns.
