    WICKET Dexter (c Hodd b Bresnan 18)published at 11:36

    Middlesex 44-5 (Robson 19)

    Ryan Sidebottom's hopes of getting all 10 on the first morning against Middlesex at Lord's are ended by another of the Tykes' England pacemen Tim Bresnan, who strikes with the fifth ball of his first over after coming on at the Nursery End for Jack Brooks. 

    Neil Dexter is caught behind, after putting on 30 with opener Sam Robson.

  2. Hampshire 67-1 (Carberry 42, Vince 9)published at 11:34

    Hampshire captain James Vince is living a charmed life in Taunton as the ball flies past his bat on more than one occasion and is lucky not to nick behind.

    Michael Carberry is finding life at the crease far more easy as he sends Craig Overton for consecutive fours to move into the 40s.

  3. Middlesex 43-4 (Robson 18, Dexter 18)published at 11:31

    Okay, the calculators have been out again at BBC Sport towers and we think we've got a definitive answer on what Yorkshire need to win the title...

    If they bowl Middlesex out for less than 300 and Notts fail to reach 350, the White Rose county will be crowned champions.

    In all reality Yorkshire could be celebrating at the end of today.

    WICKET Adams (run out 7)published at 11:15 British Summer Time 9 September 2015

    Hampshire 49-1 (Carberry 33)

    Jimmy Adams falls in rather strange circumstances as Jamie Overton runs him out with a direct hit from deep extra cover, with Adams going for what looks like an easy third run.

    A much needed breakthrough for Somerset.

  6. Hampshire 44-0 (Carberry 31, Adams 5)published at 11:15

    Michael Carberry has found his scoring boots after a slow start with 24 of his 31 runs coming in boundaries, with Lewis Gregory feeling the brunt of his early morning aggression. 

    Hampshire are ticking along steadily as they look to escape relegation.

  7. Middlesex 20-4 (Robson 10, Dexter 3)published at 11:14

    I mentioned earlier that Yorkshire needed six points to claim the title, but it appears they only need five, as even if they finish level on points with Middlesex they will claim the title with more wins.

    It's all academic anyway, but just wanted to get the maths right!

    Yorkshire's England contingent are certainly enjoying their side's good start.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Eskinazi (c Lyth b Sidebottom 4)published at 11:04

    Middlesex 14-4 (Robson 7)

    Four wickets for Ryan Sidebottom and Yorkshire have one hand on the County Championship trophy.

    Stevie Eskinazi edges the 37-year-old to Adam Lyth at second slip and Middlesex are in deep trouble.

    Yorkshire will be batting before lunch at this rate.

  10. A bowling morning...published at 11:00

    The bowlers are certainly making the most of the cloudy overhead conditions.

    At Trent Bridge, Notts are now 7-3 against Durham , with Graham Onions picking up a couple of wickets.

    Kent have also lost Daniel Bell-Drummond early in their match against Glamorgan - they're 23-1.

  12. Hampshire 9-0 (Carberry 1, Adams 0)published at 10:51

    No such alarms at Taunton as Hampshire tentatively ease themselves into the match.

    Just one run has come off the bat so far with eight leg byes having been conceded between opening bowling pair Craig Overton and Lewis Gregory.

  13. Middlesex 5-3 (Robson 4, Eskinazi 0)published at 10:49

    What a baptism of fire this is for Middlesex debutant Stevie Eskinazi. 

    The 21-year-old is now at the crease after those three wickets in the first over.

    It's going to be a tough test, that's for sure.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Malan (b Sidebottom 0)published at 10:44

    Middlesex 0-3 (Robson 0)

    Three have gone in the first over! I can't quite believe this.

    Ryan Sidebottom bowls Dawid Malan first ball.

    Incredible.

    Erm, we could be crowning Yorkshire champions sooner than we thought!

    It's Ryan Sidebottom again - Nick Compton edges him behind.

    0-2.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Stirling (lbw b Sidebottom 0)published at 10:39

    Middlesex 0-1 (Robson 0)

    Well that didn't take long! 

    Ryan Sidebottom has removed Paul Stirling, lbw, with just the third ball of the morning at a very overcast Lord's.

    That's his 700th wicket in first-class cricket as well.

    What a start for Yorkshire.

    FIRST WICKET OF THE DAYpublished at 10:36

    Nottinghamshire 1-1 v Durham

    We have our first wicket of the day ladies and gentlemen. 

    And it's that man Chris Rushworth again! 

    Jake Libby is the man to go, caught by Gordon Muchall.

    Middlesex v Yorkshire (10:30 BST)

    I said it would be a short delay...well the teams are on their way to the middle.

  19. Delayed start at Lord'spublished at 10:32

    Middlesex v Yorkshire (10:30 BST)

    It looks like we're in for a short delay at Lord's because the light isn't quite good enough to start.

    Don't think it'll be too long before we get under way though.
