  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:18 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    C Overton c Alsop b Abbott 6 (Somerset 78-7, lead by 36 runs)

    It's a sixth wicket of the innings for Kyle Abbott!

    Craig Overton edges him behind and it's a very good low, diving, one-handed catch by Tom Alsop.

    Abbott has 11 wickets in all and Somerset are 78-7, with a lead of just 36 runs.

  3. 300 up for Worcestershirepublished at 13:16 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Worcestershire 311-7 v Hampshire

    A third batting point for the Pears.

    The first of two boundaries in three balls off Morne Morkel from fellow South African Wayne Parnell - followed quickly by four leg-byes.

    Surrey two wickets away from a third bowling point.

  4. Play resumes in Southamptonpublished at 13:09 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Hampshire 148 v Somerset 106 & 72-6

    What kind of lead can Somerset build? How many wickets will Hampshire's Kyle Abbott end up with?

    He will finish his over, bowling to new batsman Craig Overton with the visitors 72-6.

  5. Middlesex impress with batpublished at 13:04 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Middlesex 161 & 98-2 v Kent 192

    Kevin Hand
    BBC Radio London

    It was Middlesex's morning on day two at Lord's as the hosts defied the conditions, let alone the impressive Kent attack.

    The Kent innings lasted for only 11 deliveries as they fell marginally short of what could prove a valuable batting point come the end of the season.

    The hosts had to face the vast majority of their innings in poor light, with the floodlights on from the early stages of their second dig, but Kent's bowlers have failed to hit the same lines and lengths as yesterday morning.

    The ball did still pass the edge a tremendous number of times with swing and seam movement but Nick Gubbins and Sam Robson put on 50 for the first wicket to steady the nerves of a line-up short of runs this year.

  6. 11 wickets in one morningpublished at 13:01 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Durham 103, Sussex 96-8

    Adrian Harms
    Sports reporter, BBC Sussex

    A remarkable morning. 11 wickets, on what looks a largely blameless pitch.

    Chris Rushworth, who will be eating his lunch knowing he is on a hat-trick, has taken 7-36, bowling an exemplary line and length.

    But, with the exception of Ben Brown who was unluckily adjudged lbw, the Sussex batsmen have not helped themselves.

    Earlier, in picking up the last three Durham wickets, Ollie Robinson now has 61 County Championship wickets to his name this season - and has now passed 150 first-class wickets in total.

  7. Play to start at 13:30 BST at Trent Bridgepublished at 12:59 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Notts 177 v Essex 133-5

    Good news from Nottingham, where play is set to get under way at 13:30 BST after rain this morning.

    Let's hope it stays dry until then.

    When the time comes, Essex will resume on 133-5 after Notts were all out for 177 yesterday.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:52 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Barnard b Morkel 63 (Worcs 290-7 v Surrey)

    Early strike for Morne Morkel at New Road - 22 balls into the day after the loss of the morning session.

    Without adding to his overnight score, Ed Barnard looked to have played down the wrong line, but he may just have been beaten for pace and by the bounce from the big South African. A fine delivery which hit the top of off stump.

  9. Another 'five for' for Abbottpublished at 12:48 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Somerset 106 & 72-6, Hampshire 148

    Kevan James
    Former Hampshire all-rounder, BBC Radio Solent

    Kyle Abbott's second five-wicket haul in this game (and his third in successive Championship innings) has given him 10 wickets in a match for Hampshire for the first time.

    Seven wickets fell in that morning session, although the 41-run fifth-wicket partnership between Trecothick (23*) and Davies (23) took up almost an hour's play.

    With Somerset leading by just 30, at this rate a lead of anything over 100 looks enough, but that looks a long way away.

  10. Rushworth on hat-trick . . . after lunchpublished at 12:46 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Durham 103 v Sussex 96-8

    It promises to be an interesting lunch break for Durham fast bowler Chris Rushworth.

    He dismissed Chris Jordan and Jofra Archer with the final two balls before the interval, which means that when he bowls his first ball after lunch he will be on a hat-trick.

    Rushworth has got a career hat-trick to his name before, but his figures here of 7-36 have reduced Sussex to 93-8.

  12. New schedule at New Roadpublished at 12:38 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Worcestershire 288-6 v Surrey

    Play is finally due to get under way at New Road.

    It's a 12.40 start.

    The official finish time today will now be 6.00, not 5.30.

  13. Scores at lunchpublished at 12:37 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Rain has disrupted things a tad this morning but we're at lunch in most of our games...

    Division One

    • Hampshire 148 v Somerset 106 & 72-6 (lead by 30 runs)
    • Yorkshire 209 v Lancashire 165-4

  14. Lunch at Headingleypublished at 12:32 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Yorkshire 209, Lancashire 165-4

    After four wickets in the morning session - three of them for Jack Brooks - it's time for lunch at Headingley.

    It is the scheduled lunchtime but it is a slight surprise as, after a start delayed by 15 minutes because of overnight rain, there had been a further announcement to say that lunch would, in fact, be taken at 1.00.

    But the bails are off, the umpires are off, the players are off . . . and so is the BBC commentary team. So it must be lunch!

  15. Five-wicket haulpublished at 12:32 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Gregory b Abbott 5 (Somerset 72-6, lead by 30 runs)

    A second five-wicket haul of the match for Hampshire's Kyle Abbott.

    It's one of his trademark deliveries to the right-hander, it nips back and uproots Lewis Gregory's middle stump.

    He has 10 wickets in a match for Hampshire for the first time, leaving Somerset 72-6 as we take lunch.

  16. Davies battles on at Headingleypublished at 12:30 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Yorkshire 209, Lancashire 165-4

    In between all the wickets tumbling, Lancashire opening batsman Alex Davies has remained resolute this morning at Headingley.

    He has moved on from his overnight 57 to 86.

    This is already his highest score in a Roses match. And he has now within reach of only his fifth first-class century.

  17. Postpublished at 12:29 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Hampshire 148 v Somerset 106 & 67-5

    Kyle Abbott bowling the final over before lunch at the Ageas Bowl - Somerset could do with surviving it without any further losses.

  18. Postpublished at 12:24 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Hampshire 148 v Somerset 106 & 61-5

    Dale Steyn completes a wicket maiden and has figures of 7-3-4-1. Not bad at all from the Hampshire seamer.

    The South African has barely bowled a bad ball this morning, with his fellow countryman Kyle Abbott running riot at the other end.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:16 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Davies c Holland b Steyn 23 (Somerset 61-5 lead by 19 runs)

    Kyle Abbott was seen as the danger man but it's Dale Steyn who strikes for Hampshire with the first ball of his new spell.

    Somerset's Steve Davies is caught by Ian Holland at first slip for 23, ending his 41-run partnership with Marcus Trescothick.

    They're 61-5 - leading by 19 runs - with Lewis Gregory next in.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:15 British Summer Time 11 September 2018

    Vilas lbw Brooks 0 (Lancashire 157-4, Yorkshire 209)

    A third wicket of the morning for Jack Brooks.

    Dane Vilas goes leg before - for a 10-ball duck.

    It's his second duck in as many innings.

    Josh Bohannon is the new man in to join Alex Davies.
