  1. Wickets galore at Southport

    Lancashire 161 v Worcestershire 222 & 8-0 (lead by 69 runs)

    Ged Scott
    BBC Sport at Trafalgar Road, Southport

    After 15 wickets here at Trafalgar Road on the first day, another five have fallen here in little over an hour on day two - to enable Worcestershire to build a potentially priceless 61-run lead in this battle of the bottom two.

    Half the game over inside four sessions. But, of those 20 wickets, three have been run outs - the last of them bordering on lunacy this morning when Lancashire youngster Josh Bohannon, on his former home ground, turned blind for a third and was sent back.

    In reality, the clatter of wickets has been down to good fast bowling - and some ill chosen shots by too many of the batters. And you wouldn’t rule out a few more by the end of the day.

  2. dropped catch

    Dropped catch off Adam Lyth on 5

    Yorkshire 19-1 v Somerset 399

    Unlucky for Lewis Gregory, who gets an away swinger to take the outside edge of Adam Lyth's bat but he survives when Jack Leach spills the chance at gully.

  3. Pears start second innings

    Lancashire 161 v Worcestershire 222 & 1-0 (lead by 62 runs)

    Worcestershire are under way in their second innings - now leading by 62 runs at Southport.

    There have already been 20 wickets in this one and it's not even lunch on day two.

    Daryl Mitchell and Tom Fell opening for the Pears, with Tom Bailey bowling for Lancashire.

  4. Division Two round-up

    Here's the latest in the Division Two matches...

    Sussex are close to parity with Middlesex in a tense low-scoring game at Lord's. They're now 166-9 and trail by three runs.

    Four wickets in the innings for James Harris.

    Leicestershire have stumbled to 56-2 against Gloucestershire at Bristol, with openers Harry Dearden and Paul Horton both dispatched early. They trail by 146.

    Warwickshire will expect to earn an innings lead against Glamorgan at Colwyn Bay, where they're on 170-4 and trail by 33. Ian Bell is 74 not out.

    Durham are 28-2 in their second innings at the Riverside after dismissing Northants for 198 this morning at the Riverside. The hosts trail by 41 runs.

    Kent have surged past maximum batting points against Derbyshire and now have 449-7 at Derby.

    Joe Denly top-scored with 106 yesterday and Grant Stewart is 58 not out.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Morkel c Milnes b Gurney 5

    Surrey 315-8 v Nottinghamshire

    Harry Gurney's short ball finds the top edge of Morne Morkel's bat and is taken by Matt Milnes at long leg.

    He goes for five, Surrey are now 315-8 and Conor McKerr is in at 10 to join Mark Stoneman, who's not out on 122.

    This is turning into a good morning for Notts.

  6. wicket

    WICKET Clark b Tongue c Pennington 27

    Lancashire 161 v Worcestershire 222

    Lancashire are all out for 161 and Josh Tongue has his fifth wicket!

    Jordan Clark's cameo of 27 ends as he's caught at fine leg by a stretching Dillon Pennington.

    Tongue finishes with figures of 5-63 and Worcestershire lead by 61 runs going into the second innings.

  7. Essex rebuild at Chelmsford

    Essex 49-1 v Hampshire

    Huge appeal from Ian Holland as Tom Westley misses one that seams into the pads. Not out.

    Holland switches to a straighter line and the batsman blocks.

    The 6th ball is wider and slightly back of a length - Westley drives to mid off for four.

  8. wicket

    WICKET T Curran c Root b Milnes 43

    Surrey 309-7 v Nottinghamshire

    Notts needed that - Tom Curran attempts a pool shot but picks out Billy Root at fine leg.

    It comes from a Matt Milnes delivery and it's their first wicket of the day.

    He goes for 43, with Surrey 309-7 - Morne Morkel comes in for the leaders to accompany Mark Stoneman (121*).

  9. Yorkshire tested at Headingley

    Yorkshire 9-1 v Somerset 399

    Lewis Gregory tries to york Williamson, who manages to dig it out.

    Maiden over.

  10. Essex rebuilding at Chelmsofrd

    Essex 44-1 v Hampshire

    Kyle Abbott is back into the attack and Tom Westley defends into the off side.

    Batting is hard work at the moment but the hosts can breathe a bit more easily now.

  11. Early wicket for Somerset at Headingley

    Yorkshire 9-1 v Somerset 399

    Josh Davey is getting the ball to move into Adam Lyth but he's a bit too straight as the opener clips him away for 4.

    Key partnership between him and Williamson.

  12. Sunny by the sea in North Wales

    Glamorgan 203 v Warwickshire 155-3

    Clive Eakin
    BBC Coventry & Warwickshire Sport

    It's nice day at Colwyn Bay where another decent crowd has gathered. Already they've enthusiastically applauded Ian Bell who's reached his half century with a trademark cover drive.

    Warwickshire need to bat well today to take advantage of having bowled Glamorgan out for what looks a below par score on a slow pitch offering some variable bounce.

    Glamorgan will be frustrated that Bell, dropped on 34 yesterday, has survived another sharp chance this morning.

  13. Early struggle for the batsmen at Chelmsofrd

    Essex 40-1 v Hampshire

    Dawson is looking dangerous here - as he gets one to fizz past the outside edge of Westley's bat. The Essex number three survives.

    It's no easier for Chopra at the other end, who is nealry cut in half by a big nip-backer from Ian Holland. He survives.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Maharaj c Cox b Parnell 0

    Lancashire 143-9 v Worcestershire 222

    Lancashire unravelling - Keshav Maharaj gone for a duck.

    It's the same combination for Worcestershire - Wayne Parnell getting a nick off the South African with Ben Cox catching behind.

    The Red Rose 79 runs behind with one wicket left - Graham Onions is in - this could be a decisive lead for the Pears...

  15. wicket

    WICKET Bailey c Cox b Parnell 4

    Lancashire 143-8 v Worcestershire 222

    Tom Bailey looks disappointed, but that had been coming.

    He has a waft at a couple Wayne Parnell deliveries outside off stump, and then edges one behind for Worcestershire wicketkeeper Ben Cox to collect.

    Lancashire 143-8, trailing by 79 runs, with debutant Keshav Maharaj joining Jordan Clark, who is just looking for someone to stay in with him.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Brook b Gregory 2

    Yorkshire 5-1 v Somerset 399

    Bowled him!

    Perfect length, drawing Harry Brook forward and the ball beats the outside edge, hitting the top of off stump.

    Time for Kane Willamson to have a bat.

  17. 300 up for Surrey

    Surrey 300-6 v Nottinghamshire

    A third batting point for Surrey, who look solid with Mark Stoneman (116*) and Tom Curran (39*) at the crease.

    Worth mentioning 104 rovers will be bowled today, with a scheduled finish time of 18:30 BST at The Oval.

  18. Early trial by spin

    Essex 32-1 v Hampshire

    Liam Dawson comes into the attack and Tom Westley edges the fifth ball just wide of first slip for a four.

    A hint of turn there?

  19. Yorkshire batting at Headingley

    Yorkshire 5-0 v Somerset 399

    Lewis Gregory gets a bit of movement outside off stump but it's wide enough for Harry Brook to leave alone.

  20. Essex on the defensive

    Essex 28-1 v Hampshire

    Essex are digging in here.

    Ian Holland, in just his third Championship match this summer, comes into the attack and Tom Westley is forward in defence.

    He gets a single off the third ball and Chopra defends.
