I'm going to have to make some tough choices selecting this final XI. Some great suggestions so far!

Leicestershire 332 & 132-6 v Northants 151

A familiar scene up and down the country I'm afraid.

It's not often I've been able to say that this summer, but the Lancashire pacemen are on top at Old Trafford.

Will Smith has faced 39 deliveries but still can't get off the mark and Hampshire captain James Vince has faced almost 100 balls for his 20.

Lancashire still only have the one wicket this morning though - Jimmy Anderson removed Michael Carberry.

Great response so far. Keep them coming!

Oh dear, they're coming off at Headingley as the rain begins to fall.

The forecast isn't looking great for the rest of the day in Leeds either, but we'll keep our fingers crossed.

We have some early contenders...

This is some pretty resilient stuff from Hampshire pair James Vince and Will Smith.

Vince has moved to 17 off 82 balls, while Smith has faced 29 deliveries and is yet to get off the mark.

Hampshire's run-rate is 1.32. Dig in lads!

If you've been a regular follower of the County Championship live text commentaries this season, you'll have noticed we've created teams based around certain themes.

For example, during the April blizzard of 2016, we asked you for your weather XI - and you came up with some corkers including Shiver-narine Chanderpaul and Kevin Sleeterson. 

Today, in honour of Joe Root's fine double hundred - I feel a link is needed to the Yorkshireman. The first thing that came to mind was root vegetables.

So, on that basis, which players would be in your fruit and vegetable XI? I guess you could have Joe Fruit? Graham Onions is a bit too obvious, so no points for that.

Adil Rashid hits 50published at 11:36 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

Yorkshire 533-5 v Surrey 330

The batting dominance continues at Headingley as Adil Rashid brings up his half-century with successive fours off Tom Curran. He then makes it three in a row off the Surrey paceman.

Joe Root is now just 29 runs short of his highest first-class score of 236.

BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Bob Hunt at Canterbury:

"Forty eight hours ago we had to send out for emergency sun cream from the commentary box.

"Now it's November again but with a slightly warmer feeling.

"The Blotter is doing its best but there's an enormous amount of blotting to get through before play can start at Canterbury."

And there it is, Joe Root knocks Ravi Rampaul for a single to bring up a brilliant double hundred off 232 balls.

He only needed 10 more runs this morning, but he's made it look easy.

The 25-year-old is now the seventh, yes seventh, batsman to pass 200 this season. Incredible.

After his disastrous run out for nought in the first innings, James Vince appears determined to make amends second time around.

The Hampshire skipper is seven off 54 balls. Watchful stuff in tricky batting conditions at Old Trafford.

Yorkshire pass 500 as Joe Root moves onto 197. Three more runs for the Yorkshireman - just three more.

However, the players are in the middle in Leeds where Joe Root (191 not out) and Adil Rashid (23 not out) will look to build a monumental first-innings' lead for Yorkshire.

And at Lord's...
