Peter Moores appointed Notts head coach
Jake Ball takes hat-trick for Notts v Middlesex
21 wickets fall between Warwickshire and Somerset
Four points separate Middlesex & Yorkshire
American-themed XI #bbccricket
Somerset 69-9 v Warwickshire
Rikki Clarke must have been sick of Keith Barker hogging all the attention. Clarke has his third victim of the morning session, removing young wicketkeeper Ryan Davies caught and bowled, and I can see this innings ending very shortly.
Elsewhere, Kent opener Daniel Bell-Drummond is caught behind for 20 against Northants and his side are now 62-1.
American Cricket XI
We asked for your American-related cricketers and boy have you delivered so far. It's almost as if you've been deep fried and served with an extra side of calories.
Ben Winbolt-Lewis: Chicago Bearstow
Simon Wilkinson: WG Grace-land
And my personal favourite so far...
Jeremy Sallis: Straight Outta Denis Compton

It would have been a big ask for Championship debutant Dominic Bess to bring Somerset from the depths against Warwickshire and he hasn't.
I've run out of ways to describe this innings. Ridiculous? Carnage?
If they don't reach 79, this will be Somerset's fifth-lowest total against Warwickshire.
Surrey 69-2 v Hampshire
Kevan said Hampshire needed to make regular inroads into the Surrey batting and they have done just that 10 minutes after he said it.
Gareth Andrew's seventh wicket of the season is a big one, as Kumar Sagakkara is caught by Lewis McManus off his bowling - the wicketkeeper's second catch of the morning.
Glamorgan 76-3 v Gloucestershire
Nick Selman, dropped in the first over of this match, has reached fifty for the third time this season in the Championship.
Meanwhile, for Yorkshire against Durham...
Not bad considering Alex Lees lost his opening partner Adam Lyth for just two.
Notts 57-3 v Middlesex
Good news for England as Steven Finn has his second wicket of the day as Steven Mullaney is caught at second slip off the big fast bowler's bowling.
Title challengers Middlesex and Yorkshire are going rather well this morning - with the White Rose 86-1 against Durham.
Surrey 53-1 v Hampshire
BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James:
"It would have been a difficult decision this morning for Hampshire to exercise their right to bowl first.
"We have cloudy but warm conditions here at the Oval, and the home side have two good swing bowlers in Footitt and Sam Curran.
"The ball has seamed around this morning, particularly for Gareth Berg.
"The problem for Hampshire is that this ground is also good for batting on, and if they don't make regular inroads into the Surrey batting, they risk putting themselves on the back foot.
"The feeling in the camp is that they need to win this one to have a chance of staying up. If Surrey get too many in the first innings, Hants will be staring even more at Division Two cricket come Friday."

As the US Open tennis tournament enters its latter stages we're asking for your American Cricket XI - and aren't you delivering so far!

And one from my BBC Sport colleague Gary Smee: The Big Chapple

Leicestershire 55-2 v Sussex
News of a wicket somewhere other than Taunton? I know, it's a shock to me too.
Somerset 46-7 v Warwickshire
This is just getting ridiculous at Taunton now.
Rikki Clarke replaces Chris Wright in the bowling and with his first delivery has Lewis Gregory caught behind.
The next batsman up - Championship debutant Dominic Bess. Don't think he expected to be in this early.
Good luck, lad.
Yorkshire 67-1 v Durham
Something other than a wicket!!!
Image source, Getty ImagesIf you haven't heard the news coming out of Trent Bridge this morning - former England coach Peter Moores has been appointed Nottinghamshire head coach on a three-year deal.
Somerset 36-6 v Warwickshire
This live text has just become a sea of blue.
I said losing four wickets in the first hour was bad enough but Keith Barker has added an extra two to that total.
Notts 35-2 v Middlesex
Wickets. Wickets. Wickets.
His father may have been named at Notts' new head coach this morning, but Tom Moores has been bowled by Steven Finn - or Steve - as the scorecard at Trent Bridge calls him.
Another big wicket in terms of the Division One title race.
Somerset 36-5 v Warwickshire
The fans are being treated to a bowling masterclass at Taunton as Keith Barker continues his mission to cause smoke to flow out of my fingers as I give you updates on his side's latest victim.
Trego is bowled by Barker and at this rate Warwickshire could be batting early in the afternoon.
Image source, Rex FeaturesSurrey 23-1 v Hampshire
Hampshire seamer Gareth Berg, a man that missed much of this season through injury, has the first wicket of the match against Surrey as Dominic Sibley edges him straight into the hands of Lewis McManus.
Somerset 36-4 v Warwickshire
Oh Somerset. Four wickets lost within the first hour is never the way to start a match.
Tom Abell, the only man to get out of single figures so far, has been caught behind and is Chris Wright's second victim of the day.
Kent 28-0 v Northants
Image source, BBC SportBBC Radio Northampton's Alex Winter:
"Don't let them tell you it's south London here in Beckenham, we're playing cricket and it's very much Kent. The ground has been improved smartly since my last visit in 2009 - a mighty indoor school has been built and a new permanent stand erected, making it an impressive facility here and one that Kent will surely be using for many years to come.
"To the chagrin of those supporters of the Tunbridge Wells festival perhaps.
"On the field, Kent are still in the hunt for promotion and need to win this game to stay in touch with Essex - whom they host in the final round of matches.
"They were invited to bat here by Alex Wakely but so far there's been little in it for the bowlers. Kent have perhaps been handed a great chance to get on top."
Somerset 28-3 v Warwickshire
The superb start from Warwickshire just gets better as James Hildreth edges Keith Barker to third slip and in a match that doesn't have any real impact on either end of the table we have quite a bit of entertainment.
That's Barker's 51st wicket of the season. Why do you I tell you that random number? Because I forgot to mention his 50th earlier...
Glamorgan 35-1 v Gloucestershire
Glamorgan have lost a wicket, but it's not the dangerously-living Nick Selman; it's his opening partner Mark Wallace who has gone lbw to David Payne.
Leicestershire have recovered following the early loss of Paul Horton to 19-1 while Kent are plodding along rather nicely on 24-0 against Northants.
With leaders Essex not in action, second-placed Kent know they have to do all they can to keep up the pressure in the hunt for the the single promotion spot.
