Chopra lbw b Fletcher 0 (Essex 6-1 v Notts 380)
There's the wicket before lunch Notts wanted...

Tom Westley is in at three.

Worcestershire 247 & 42-0 v Lancashire 130
Worcestershire's lead has already ballooned up to 159 with Daryl Mitchell and Martin Guptill smashing boundaries left, right and centre.
Lancashire must feel hugely dejected after such a sorry batting performance, but a couple of wickets before lunch would certainly change things.

Clarke lbw b Gregory 42 (Surrey 459 v Somerset)
And there ends the Surrey innings.
Lewis Gregory pins Rikki Clarke lbw for 42.
Somerset will have to bat seriously well to get anywhere near Surrey's total.

Essex 2-0 v Notts 380
Alastair Cook is 38 shy of 22,000 first-class runs.
Cooky is only 18 days older than me and that makes me wonder what I've done with my life.
Ah well, guess you can't complain when you get to follow the game you love!

Worcestershire 247 & 25-0 v Lancashire 130
Worcestershire are flying along at more than six an over at the start of their second innings.
Daryl Mitchell, fresh from his century on Wednesday, has already struck three boundaries in his 14.
Martin Guptill could explode at any time at the other end. Things are looking ominous for Lancashire.

You won't be surprised to learn that Jade Dernbach hasn't lasted long...
The swing bowler edges one to Jack Leach at slip to give TIm Groenewald his fourth wicket.
Last man Amar Virdi joins Rikki Clarke at the crease.

Morkel b Groenewald 20 (Surrey 447-8 v Somerset)
Surrey lose their eighth wicket but not before Morne Morkel has done a bit of damage with the bat.
Tim Groenewald clatters one into his middle stump and the big South African is gone for 20.
Surrey are on course for a big first-innings total though.

Worcestershire 247 & 8-0 v Lancashire 130
Worcestershire openers Daryl Mitchell and Martin Guptill are in the middle.
Eight runs come off Tom Bailey's first over. Batting is always much easier when you've got a first-innings lead of 117.

Milnes c Wagner b Harmer 22 (Essex v Notts 380)
Matt Milnes' fine cameo is ended by Simon Harmer. Notts are 380 all out.
Milnes swats the spinner into the hands of Neil Wagner for a breezy 22.
I'd say that's a slightly above par first-innings total at Chelmsford.

Rubbing salt into the Somerset wounds.

Glamorgan 260-9 v Derbyshire
Nick Webb
BBC Wales SportGlamorgan’s lower order continued their revival on the second morning as the cloud and drizzle of day one was replaced by bright sunshine.
Debutant Prem Sisodiya made a breezy 38, though he was badly dropped on 24, before seamer Tony Palladino bowled him to claim his fifth wicket.
He’d shared a half-century stand with Andrew Salter, who reached his own 50 after tail-ender Lukas Carey belted a couple of straight sixes off Matt Critchley.

Fletcher c Coles b Wagner 19 (Essex v Notts 362-9)
Essex will be mightily relieved that Luke Fletcher is gone.
He smashes Neil Wagner to Matt Coles at mid-on for a useful 19.
Harry Gurney, first-class average of 5.78, is the last man in.

Onions b Morris (Worcs 247 v Lancs 130)
And it's all over.
Graham Onions is bowled by Charlie Morris first ball attempting a leave.

What a sterling comeback from Worcestershire.

Bailey c Clarke b Morris 8 (Worcs 247 v Lancs 130-9)
Nine down.
Tom Bailey simply chips Charlie Morris straight to Joe Clarke at cover for the softest of dismissals.
Lancashire have fallen from 77-0 to 130-9, I'll let you do the math (s).
