  1. wicket

    WICKET Wells b Snater 21

    Essex 377 v Lancashire 146 & 43-4

    Wickets tumbling regularly at Chelmsford as Shane Snater removes Luke Wells with a beauty.

    The Netherlands international comes round the wicket to the left-handed Wells who decides to play back to one angled into him which nips away to clip the top of off stump.

    With Ronnie McKenna stood up Wells turns round to check the ball had not rebounded off the stand-in wicketkeeper's pads and on to the stumps before getting a cursory nod from the standing umpire to signal him to exit stage left.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Dan Lawrence

    Kent 244 v Surrey 240-1

    He's looking in the mood - and Dan Lawrence dabs Jas Singh for a single to reach 50 off 77 balls.

    Dom Sibley punches down the ground for four - he is 110 not out and the partnership is now worth 93.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Stoneman lbw Coad 0

    Middx 1-1 - target 158

    Interesting.

    Mark Stoneman plays across the line to the third ball of Ben Coad's opening over and that is out.

    Any nerves, Middlesex followers?

  4. 'It's going to take a really resolute effort from Notts'

    Somerset 454 v Notts 193 & 66-2

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    Pedestrian progress made by Notts but that's the way they've got to go about it.

    It's going to take a really resolute effort to bat through the day and they'll have to come back tomorrow and bat even some more if they are to get something out of this one.

  5. 6 runs

    Six for Ollie Robinson

    Worcs 184 v Durham 244 & 392-5

    Ollie Robinson smashes the first ball of Nathan Smith's over for a maximum as Durham continue to pile on the misery for the Pears.

    He's up to 64 now and Graham Clark is two away from a half-century at the other end.

  6. An extra sweater or a two-man juggling demonstration at Taunton?

  7. wicket

    WICKET Bohannon lbw b Cook 5

    Essex 377 v Lancashire 146 & 39-3

    Josh Bohannon survived a big lbw shout earlier but this time he is toast.

    The Lancashire batter steps across his stumps and attempts to work Sam Cook to leg but is unable to get any bat on it.

    No doubt about that one as Cook receives high fives from his Essex team-mates.

  8. Hampshire 158-1 v Warwickshire 455

    Still relatively slow going at Southampton but we have had the first boundary of the day as Fletcha Middleton punishes a first-ball loosener from Craig Miles for four.

    Hampshire's Middleton (69 not out) and Nick Gubbins (75 not out) are slowly chipping away at Warwickshire's first-innings total.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Hill c sub b Helm 75

    Middx 246 v Yorks 159 & 244

    Middlesex will need 158 for their first win of the season.

    George Hill gives himself room and tries to hoist Tom Helm over square leg, but only succeeds in picking out substitute fielder Luke Hollman.

    It was a fine innings by the Yorkshire all-rounder, containing 11 fours, but has he done enough to give his side a sniff of a chance.

  10. Somerset 454 v Notts 193 & 61-2

    A maiden over is almost a wicket maiden for Migael Pretorius with his sixth delivery beating the bat of Will Young all ends up but not quite finding the edge.

    Pretorius can't believe that didn't get a touch!

    Lewis Gregory has now brought himself on for a bowl for the first time.

  11. 100 for Dom Sibley

    Kent 244 v Surrey 221-1

    He had to wait for a bit, but Dom Sibley clips Jas Singh away for four and reaches a 187-ball century.

    Sibley made exactly 100 against Somerset last week but he'll be wanting to go on this time against an inexperienced seam attack.

  12. wicket

    WICKET Lloyd b Mike 54

    Derbys 80-6 v Leics 574-7 dec

    Benjamin Franklin said that "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes".

    Barring an amazing turn of events, you can add Derbyshire being asked to follow on to that list.

    Skipper David Lloyd is seemingly caught in two minds as he is bowled offering no stroke by Ben Mike.

  13. Essex 377 v Lancashire 146 & 35-2

    Shane Snater is into the attack for Essex with stand-in wicketkeeper Ronnie McKenna stood up to the stumps.

    Dutch international Snater starts with a disciplined wicket-to-wicket maiden which is played watchfully by Luke Wells, who is unbeaten on 18 off 46 balls.

    Lancashire looking to patiently rebuild after the early loss of Will Williams this morning.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Pujara run out 86

    Sussex 286-6 v Glos 417

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - it's comedy time at Hove.

    Cheteshwar Pujara steers Dom Goodman through the covers and two runs are a formality.

    Shall we go for a third? A moment's hesitation and the Indian is beaten by Jack Taylor's throw from the deep as he tries to recover his ground after both batters ended up half-way down.

  15. Durham take their lead past 400

    Durham 356-5 lead Worcs by 416

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    The key today is to make quick runs and declare.

    The weather forecast for Kidderminster tomorrow is dreadful, so if Durham have any chance of winning this, you'd imagine they have to bowl Worcestershire out today.

    Ollie Robinson and Graham Clark have taken their partnership to 90 so far. Robinson scored 55 in the first innings and has another 50 today. He also got back to back centuries at Edgbaston last week.

    It is a cool day and the temperature is not set to get any higher than 12C, but at least it is a dry day with no rain forecast.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Moriarty lbw Bamber 5

    Middx 246 v Yorks 159 & 242-9

    Dan Moriarty plays all around one from Ethan Bamber and the paceman has his second wicket of the morning at Lord's.

    George Hill is 73 not out, but number 11 Mickey Edwards is now at the crease for Yorkshire, who lead by 155.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Vasconcelos c Cooke b Hamza 182

    Northants 338-3 v Glamorgan 271

    Even when you have 180 + on the board, a ball like that will still cause problems.

    Mir Hamza produces a beauty which leaves Ricardo Vasconcelos off the pitch and keeper Chris Cooke takes the catch.

    The Northants opener faces 272 balls and hit 25 fours, sharing a third-wicket stand of 125 with Karun Nair, who is still there on 61.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Ollie Robinson

    Worcs 184 v Durham 244 & 358-5

    Ollie Robinson reaches 50 in the second innings, just as he did in the first.

    He brings up his half-century with consecutive fours off Adam Finch.

    It's all looking rosy for Durham at present, they are over 350 in their second innings and lead by 418.

    How many more will they want?

    Hard yards for the Pears at present.

  19. Essex 377 v Lancashire 146 & 30-2

    Josh Bohannon gets himself off a pair but is fortunate to survive a big lbw shout not long after when he is struck on the pad by Sam Cook.

    A very lucky escape for the Lancashire batter.

  20. 'Kent need early wickets or Surrey are going to motor'

    Kent 244 v Surrey 200-1

    Ben Watts
    BBC Radio Kent

    Kent certainly need some early wickets that's for sure with Surrey having a good day yesterday in terms of just building the platform.

    I think if Kent can't get some early wickets or keep the run rate down to an extent then the danger would be that Surrey are really going to motor today.
