  1. No need to rub it in!published at 16:59 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    We've just had this rather cheeky Tweet from BBC Newcastle's Durham commentator Martin Emmerson.

  2. Play abandoned at Cardiffpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Glamorgan 42-4 v Worcestershire 456-6 dec

    Well, BBC Hereford and Worcester's Dave Bradley is not going to be awarded 'slimmer of the week' - play is off for the day at The Swalec. 

  3. Play resumes at Canterburypublished at 16:48 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Kent 402-6 v Gloucestershire 337

    They're back under way after tea and it doesn't take long for Kent to bring up their 400. No extra batting bonus point however, as the 110 overs have been and gone.

  4. 'Gloucestershire rejuvenated'published at 16:37 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Kent 397-6 v Gloucestershire 337 - Tea

    BBC Radio Kent's Ben Watts at Canterbury:

    "A good session for the rejuvenated Gloucestershire bowling attack led by Craig Miles who picked up the wickets of Alex Blake and Adam Rouse.

    "Josh Shaw was rewarded his his own efforts by picking up the scalp of Kent captain Sam Northeast, who made his highest first-class score of 189.

    "Credit must also go to the visiting bowlers for stopping Kent from getting their final batting bonus point, but crucially for the hosts Darren Stevens remains at the crease."

  5. Inspection at 17:00 in Cardiffpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Glamorgan 42-4 v Worcestershire 456-6 dec

    Good to see Bradders has retained his sense of humour despite the rain.

    It appears Freddy may be responsible for that damp scene in Leeds!

  7. Spot the difference...published at 16:29 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    However, not much call for the sunscreen at Headingley today.

  8. Spot the difference...published at 16:27 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    With Stephan's gloomy update from Old Trafford, I thought I'd bring a little sunshine to proceedings.

    This was the scene at Lord's on Sunday...

  9. 'This pair are not moving'published at 16:23 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Lancashire 456 v Hampshire 109 & 76-2

    You have to love the hardiness of county cricket supporters...

    BBC Sport's Stephan Shemilt at Old Trafford:

    "As Old Trafford remains wet and the wait for play pushes towards three hours, my attention is drawn to two hardy souls sitting to the left of the pavilion. 

    "There are no other spectators in the ground, but this pair, covered by a blanket, are not for moving. 

    "The are sheltered by the huge, red Point building and some dark waterproofs but there only entertainment is the falling rain. They deserve an award."

  10. Tea at Canterburypublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Kent 397-6 v Gloucestershire 337

    Kent just miss out on maximum batting bonus points as they reach tea on 397-6 off 110 overs.

    Gloucestershire take two bowling bonus points.

  11. Close of play at Lord'spublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Middlesex 203-3 v Nottinghamshire 354

    The covers have been on and off throughout the afternoon at Lord's, but a decision has been made and it's off for the day.

    We go again tomorrow.

  12. rain stops play

    It's rainingpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Glamorgan 42-4 v Worcestershire 456-6 dec

    You get the feeling Worcestershire's social media person is running out of things to say. (I know the feeling on a day like today!)

  13. wicket

    WICKET Rouse (c Roderick b Miles 8)published at 16:10 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Kent 393-6 v Gloucestershire 337

    Kent lose their third wicket of the day as Adam Rouse feathers Craig Miles to Gareth Roderick.

    Darren Stevens, with 13,217 first-class runs under his belt, is unbeaten on 42.

  14. Play abandoned at Headingleypublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Yorkshire 557-6 v Surrey 330

    And no sooner had I typed that, the umpires call things off at Headingley.

    A declaration from Yorkshire, who have a first-innings' lead of 237, would surely be the sensible option overnight.

  15. 'Prospects of play slim'published at 16:03 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Middlesex 203-3 v Nottinghamshire 354

    With BBC Radio Nottinghamshire's Dave Bracegirdle's news from Lord's, it's looking increasingly likely Canterbury will be our only source of live cricket this afternoon.

    WICKET Northeast (b Shaw 189)published at 15:47 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Kent 376-5 v Gloucestershire 337

    I'm starting to feel a bit short-changed when batsmen don't reach 200 this season, and Kent captain Sam Northeast can add his name to that list as he goes 11 short of the milestone.

    Josh Shaw bowls him for 189 - a first-class best for the 26-year-old.

    Another fine innings in this remarkable 2016 campaign.

    Yorkshire 557-6 v Surrey 330

    I mentioned earlier the weather forecast in Leeds was a bit of a shocker...and this is why...

    Still no news from the umpires.

  19. Covers on againpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Middlesex 203-3 v Nottinghamshire 354

    The umpires have been out to the middle at Lord's but they swiftly returned to the pavilion. The rain is back and tea has been taken.

  20. Canterbury forecastpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    Kent 367-4 v Gloucestershire 337

    The forecast for the rest of the afternoon at Canterbury isn't looking too shabby. Better than elsewhere that's for sure.
