    WICKET Bailey (b Anderson) 127published at 18:18 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    Lancashire v Hampshire 314-8

    Jimmy has his wicket now alright! And it's the big one.

    Hampshire captain George Bailey chops on and is out for a superb 127.

    Can Lancashire finish off the visitors this evening? There are still nine overs to go after this one.

    A steamy, topsy-turvy first day at Chelmsford comes to a close, with honours just about even.

  16. 'Dramatic turnaround at Durham'published at 18:08 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    Durham v Glamorgan 213-7

    Nick Webb
    BBC Wales Sport

    It's been a dramatic turnaround in the evening sunshine at the Riverside with Chris Rushworth claiming three wickets with the second new ball for a five-wicket haul.

    Nick Selman reached a cautious hundred off 249 balls before becoming one of Rushworth's victims.

    The Durham paceman had already claimed his 500th wicket for his county when he uprooted Aneurin Donald's off-stump.

    David Lloyd on 7 then fell lbw as Rushworth celebrated his fifth of the day, and Matthew Potts had debutant Tom Cullen caught at slip, also for 7.

  17. The evergreen Ryan Sidebottompublished at 18:06 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    WICKET Franklin (b Sidebottom) 17published at 18:01 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    Middlesex 302-4 v Yorkshire

    Wow, where did that come from?

    Just as Middlesex looked set to bat out the day, Ryan Sidebottom bowls skipper James Franklin.

    Can Yorkshire get key man Sam Robson in the nine overs that remain. He must be exhausted by now.

    Fifty for Kyle Abbottpublished at 17:59 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    Lancashire v Hampshire 296-7

    Kyle Abbott is playing some innings for Hampshire here.

    The South African, who certainly knows which end to hold the bat, has raced to a 54-ball half-century.

    Hampshire are approaching 300, George Bailey has an unbeaten century, it's looking very rosy for the south coast side.

  20. Five-wicket haul for Rushworthpublished at 17:54 British Summer Time 19 June 2017

    Durham v Glamorgan 203-6

    Where did that come from? On a day made for batting, Durham paceman Chris Rushworth picks up his fifth wicket, pinning David Lloyd lbw. The big man has 5-40 from 18 overs - incredible.

    At New Road, Worcestershire are now three down against Kent - Matt Coles has removed Daryl Mitchell to leave the hosts 53-3 and 207 behind.

    Notts are continuing to rattle along against Leicestershire - Samit Patel (131 not out) and Riki Wessels (20 not out) have put on 67 for the fifth wicket. Notts are 306-4.
