Warwickshire are fighting back against Kent at Tunbridge Wells, where Keith Barker has prized out Daniel Bell-Drummond (caught behind) for 16 and pinned the prolific Heino Kuhn lbw for eight. Kent lead by 122 runs on 50-2.

Leicestershire are closing in on maximum batting points against Middlesex at Grace Road. They're on 396-8 with Colin Ackermann 170 not out.

Glamorgan have recovered well to 235-8 against Derbyshire at Swansea after losing their first five wickets for just 52 on day one.

The run feast continues for Sussex at Arundel against Durham where the home side are on 507-8. Michael Burgess is the fifth player to pass 50, reaching the milestone off just 53 balls.

Gloucestershire resume their first innings on 25-1 against Northamptonshire in a day-night game at Northampton at 13:30 BST, trailing by 257.

I think it's fair to say Essex's left-arm paceman Neil Wagner isn't bowling too many full balls to Luke Fletcher.

The big man has faced 41 balls for his eight not out.

And you get to watch one of the county circuit's brightest talents score a century. Not jealous at all Tom!

How close can Lancashire get to Worcestershire's 247 then? They're still 129 behind, but Joe Mennie and Tom Bailey both know which end of the bat to hold.

Ed Barnard and Steve Magoffin are still steaming in for Worcestershire.

Middlesex still need two wickets to end Leicestershire's first innings at Grace Road. The home side are on 374-8 with Colin Ackermann on 158.

Glamorgan have reached 218-8 against Derbyshire at Swansea, a recovery after slumping to 110-6 in muggy conditions on day one. Prem Sisodiya was the last man out, bowled Palladino for a handy 38.

Sussex have reached 473-7 against Durham at Arundel. Chris Rushworth took two wickets in two balls to dismiss Ben Brown (52) and David Wiese (0), but Michael Burgess is still there on 52.

And there it is!

Ollie Pope hits back-to-back fours off Lewis Gregory to reach his third County Championship century of the summer.

It came of 116 balls - mightily impressive batting from the 20-year-old. He's also the Championship's leading run scorer with 571 runs and counting.

Ollie Pope is now five away from his hundred.

Surrey need 13 more runs in five overs to earn maximum batting bonus points.

Think Pope should be given a chance with England? Let me know using #bbccricket on Twitter.

Just the one wicket for Essex in the opening half hour at Chelmsford - Tom Moores nicked the third ball of the day behind off Jamie Porter.

Matt Carter and Luke Fletcher are edging Notts closer to 350 and four batting bonus points.

It’s safe to say that no batsman in the world ever looks happy being given out lbw.

But Dane Vilas and Jordan Clark sure looked unhappier than most.

The ball that accounted for Vilas looked to be comfortably clearing the top of the stumps. And Clark was out shaping to glance a ball going down leg side.

No complaints from the home supporters though.

Lancashire's card. Plenty of quackers on there...

Keaton Jennings is fighting a lone battle out there for Lancashire.

The England opener punches Steve Magoffin to the rope and brings up his fifty.

114 balls, nine fours.

Here's the state of play so far this morning...

Durham are fighting back against at Arundel, where Sussex already have a mammoth 451-7. Chris Rushworth has dislodged Ben Brown, having him caught behind for a breezy 52 off 55 balls and pinned David Wiese lbw first ball.

Glamorgan are battling hard for batting points against Derbyshire at Swansea. Resuming on 175-7, they are now on 189-7. Tony Palladino took four wickets yesterday and needs three more wickets for a career tally of 400.

Kent are building their lead over Warwickshire in a low-scoring game at Tunbridge Wells. The home side are 24-0 in their second innings, leading by 95 runs.

Leicestershire had the better of day one against Middlesex at Grace Road. The home side are 368-8 with Colin Ackermann contributing 155 so far.

Northamptonshire v Gloucestershire at Northampton is our day-night match in this division and resumes at 13:30 BST (weather permitting) with the visitors on 25-1, trailing by 257.

Collapse doesn't quite do it justice.

Correct Martin.

Ollie Pope has begun where he left off, striking a couple of boundaries off Josh Davey to move up to 83.

That's 14 fours in this innings now, impressive stuff from the youngster.
