Warwickshire have so far made a successful start in their bid to win back their top flight place at the first attempt, winning three of their first four matches.

They are currently looking on course for victory against Glamorgan at Edgbaston, needing a further 181 to win.

But one downside is some worrying injury news from BBC Coventry & Warwickshire commentator Clive Eakin about paceman Olly Stone.

The potential England candidate, who missed over a year with knee trouble after signing in 2016, is now out with a side strain.

Stone is expected to be missing for the next six weeks.

BBC Nottingham commentator Dave Bracegirdle mutters that Matt Renshaw should be "back in the hutch" as the Australian takes the strike in a new Matt Mlines over following his earlier lbw let-off.

Steven Mullaney is now on at the other end, with Eddie Byrom dabbing one down to third man for four in his opening over. Somerset need another 222 and Notts have Mark Footitt out there as 12th man as Chris Nash is off the field.

From Charlie Taylor: "Which @SomersetCCC, external will turn up? This year’s confident batting side or last year’s collapse-prone line up? A huge afternoon awaits. #bbccricket, external"

That looks adjacent as Matt Milnes raps Matt Renshaw on the pads, but the umpire is unmoved. Renshaw slices away a boundary later in the over as Milnes strays well wide of off stump and Somerset now need another 231.

"These two are floating along and look quite unruffled," opines BBC commentator Isabelle Duncan.

50 for Will Rhodespublished at 12:26 British Summer Time 12 June 2018

12:26 BST 12 June 2018

Glamorgan 220 & 323 v Warwickshire 250 & 68-1 (27.1 overs)

Warwickshire opener Will Rhodes has now reached 50 in three successive County Championship games - all at Edgbaston.

The first time, against Derbyshire, he made exactly 100 not out in another Bears victory, against Northants.

If he reaches three figures again today, it will go a long way to completing a fourth win in five games for the Div Two leaders.

First innings centurion Ian Bell, after a slightly uneasy start, in which he almost gave a chance to spinner Andrew Salter at leg slip, has now motored on to 28, hitting six fours.

Eddie Byrom thumps a back-foot boundary, the first of Somerset's second innings, through the covers off Matt Milnes, who is sharing the new ball with Luke Fletcher. They need another 240 to win.

Harry Podmore relieves Darren Stevens for Kent and opens up with a maiden to Benny Howell, who has moved on to 63 not out. Chris Dent is on 45 at the other end and Gloucestershire need another 232 toavoid an innings defeat.

The first wicket of the day came in the sixth over when debutant Callum Brodrick edged Chris Rushworth to the keeper on 19 and, for the second time in the game, he should have had two in two balls when Daryn Smit edged his first ball straight through the legs of Michael Jones at third slip.

But Smit went in the next over, lbw to Matt Salisbury, the MCC Young Cricketers loanee who has now taken six wickets on his debut and looks lively.

For Durham to be in a position to win is incredible. They are down to the bare bones because of injuries and call-ups. Not only have they given debuts to four players in this match, they have also used seven substitute fielders from just about anywhere they could find them.

It's been quite an interesting one to commentate on!

50 for Ben Slaterpublished at 11:38 British Summer Time 12 June 2018

Durham 96 & 376 v Derbyshire 205 & 96-6 (34.3 overs)

Derbyshire hopes of chasing 266 to win now seem to depend on Ben Slater - and passing 50 for the 24th time in first-class cricket will do no harm. Another 172 needed.

All going to plan for Warwickshire against Glamorgan at Edgbaston so far in pursuit of a victory target of 294.

Will Rhodes looking the more masterful with six fours in his 38, while Dom Sibley is on 14.

Another Roelof van der Merwe over, another Matt Carter maximum, and the Notts total reaches 500. It's been quite some turnaround by a team who were bowled out in 37 overs in their first innings.

Another scalp for Durham as Daryn Smit, dropped first ball, ends up going fifth ball. Another victim for debutant Matt Salisbury.

Three wickets each now again for Salisbury and Rushworth, who also claimed three apiece in the first innings.

Both of these sides chasing a second Championship win of the season.180 still needed by Derbyshire. But only four wickets to be taken by Durham. They are now obvious favourites.

And, if they pull it off, it would be the first time in their 27 summers of first-class cricket that they have won a game after being bowled out in their first innings for less than 100.

Matt Carter shows fellow spinner Roelof van der Merwe scant respect by slogging him over mid-wicket for six. The Notts lead is now 235, Carter is 13 not out and Luke Fletcher has 19.

Somerset really need to find a way to finish this innings off quickly.
