We've also had a dismissal at Chelmsford and it's the big wicket of Jesse Ryder.

The New Zealander is caught by Hamish Marshall off Josh Shaw for 15.

Graham Napier joins James Foster at the crease.

I just mentioned Hants may need something special from Fidel Edwards and the paceman has delivered.

He traps Ian Westwood lbw for two.

New Warwickshire skipper Ian Bell strolls to the crease.

Safe to say it's pretty wet at most of our grounds this morning.

The match between Notts and Surrey has been somewhat overshadowed at Trent Bridge this morning, but we do have some news for you...

Hampshire may need something special from the West Indies paceman after just scraping past 200 with the bat.

Warwickshire have just started their first innings.

Nottinghamshire director of cricket and England selector Mick Newell on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:

"It's very quiet in the dressing room. We're not playing on time so it's one of the days when you have a lot of time to sit around and it's a lot quieter than it normally is up there. It's a big loss to our dressing room because he's a very highly respected member of our team.

"James is understandably devastated from the cricketing side of it, but is also very grateful it has been spotted. He was told it was very lucky that it was picked up, which helps him to put the cricket into context.

"The operation he will now have at the end of this week will allow him to have a long and healthy life and that's the consolation."

Nottinghamshire director of cricket and England selector Mick Newell on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:

"He's a lovely kid. We've enjoyed his company here - and we will continue to enjoy his company.

"I think he's one of the most influential one-day batsmen in the county game. It's a terrible loss to the county game and a terrible loss for a good kid who works hard, has made the most of every ounce of his talent and it's just a shame it won't be there anymore."

Nottinghamshire director of cricket and England selector Mick Newell on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:

"He was a very smart and intelligent batsman - the sort of player that wins games for the team.

"Once he got in the England side he grasped the opportunities that were given to him and he would've gone on to play a lot of cricket for England in the future, of that I don't have any doubt."

Not particularly encouraging news from Chester-le-Street either...

BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms at Wantage Road:

"Further inspection at 11.30, prospects of any play before lunch look slim."

We've had plenty of reaction to James Taylor's shock retirement this morning. Keep them coming.

Fidel Edwards, not a man known for his batting prowess, brings up Hampshire's first batting bonus point with a boundary, but is out the very next ball - caught by Keith Barker off Rikki Clarke.

Clarke finishes with 3-43.

BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Bob Hunt at Chelmsford:

"Play to begin at 11.30 BST here at Chelmsford. A good chance for Gloucestershire to finish off Essex in drying conditions to cement a remarkable turnaround after Essex were 222-1."

Hampshire's Ryan McLaren falls for 85 at the Ageas Bowl, bowled by Rikki Clarke.

10 more runs needed for the hosts to earn a batting bonus point.

Back to the County Championship for a moment, and we've got delayed starts in five of our six matches.

Hampshire v Warwickshire, which saw no play on Monday, is the only game under way on time, with Hants resuming on 189-8.

There will be an inspection at Wantage Road between Northants and Sussex at 11.30 BST and the umpires will take a look at New Road at 12:30 BST.

The game between Worcestershire and Kent saw no play on Sunday and Monday.

There will also be delayed starts at Trent Bridge, Chester-le-Street and Chelmsford.

While we continue to bring you all the reaction from the world of cricket as the day progresses, we'd also like to hear your own memories of James Taylor's all-too-short playing career and well wishes for the future.

Which of his innings for county or country sticks out in your memory most? How much will you miss his cat-like reactions at short leg? Or do you have any off-field stories of Taylor you'd like to share?
