'A jelly-blancmange'published at 13:21 British Summer Time 12 April 2016
Worcestershire v Kent (no play Tuesday, wet outfield)
Here's a bit more information on why there has been no play at New Road yet.
Worcestershire head groundsman Tim Packwood:
"The ground was playable on Friday. If anything, the rain on Saturday afternoon was a lot heavier than anticipated. That probably topped it up to the levels where it was touch and go on Monday as to whether the players would get on.
"But there were just areas of the ground where, the best way to describe it, was that it had turned to like a jelly-blancmange.
"When you put your foot down, it wasn't actually wet on the surface but the ground was starting to move because of the height of the water table."
'Our thoughts are with James Taylor'published at 13:19 British Summer Time 12 April 2016
Nottinghamshire 446 v Surrey 225 & 14-0
BBC Sport's Elizabeth Ammon at Trent Bridge:
"Goes without saying that all our thoughts here in the commentary box are with James Taylor but in terms of prospects of play - there will be an inspection at 13:25 and given it's now dry and the players are warming up I expected we'll probably start some play at about 14:00 or maybe just before."
'Hampshire continue fightback'published at 13:16 British Summer Time 12 April 2016
Hampshire 202 v Warwickshire 77-3
BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James at the Ageas Bowl:
"After taking nine wickets in the corresponding match at the Ageas bowl last year, Fidel Edwards was once more among the Warwickshire wickets trapping Ian Westwood and Varun Chopra lbw leaving the visitors 10-2.
"Jonathan Trott (27) and Ian Bell (26*) staged a recovery of sorts with a series of pleasant drives before James Vince (bowling in place of the injured Reece Topley) had Trott caught at first slip.
"A lack of a penetrating fourth seamer though threatens to let the Bears off the hook."
