    Warwickshire have been dismissed for 503 at Colwyn Bay - a huge advantage over Glamorgan of 300 runs

    Derbyshire are 238-2 against Kent at Derby. So far so good, but they remain 323 behind. Wayne Madsen is 81 not out.

    Yes, Craig Overton to bowl.

    A bit of luck for Sam Cook, who edges Abbott just wide of second slip for four and he top edges a pull safely through mid wicket for a single.

    Jamie Porter is cut in half by a nip-backer but the ball evades the edge and the stumps.

  14. Morkel (2-13) on form againpublished at 11:37 British Summer Time 31 August 2018

    Notts 101 & 109-4 v Surrey 375
