Live Reporting

Ben Pheazey and Josh Hunt

  1. Sussex in tatters

    Sussex 14-3 v Warwks 440

    Crikey, Keith Barker nearly gets another one but Burgess jabs the bat down just in time.

    Luke Wells to face Chris Wright now.

    Behind the sofa viewing for Sussex fans.

  2. wicket

    WICKET Mitchell (lbw b Porter 0)

    Worcestershire 94 & 4-2 v Essex

    Perhaps Jamie Porter is angry at being omitted from our team of the season selector?

    Whatever it is, he's looking pretty fired up at Chelmsford, bagging his second wicket of the second innings as he gets Daryl Mitchell with one that keeps very low.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Finch (lbw b Barker) 0

    Sussex 14-3 v Warwks 440

    Well, we might have a rival for Durham's collapse here.

    Keith Barker strikes again with Harry Finch this time pinned lbw.

    Sussex are in danger of imploding. Michael Burgess will try and stop the rot now.

  4. Bresnan back on for Yorkshire

    Yorks 184 v Hants 157-9

    Can he pick up his sixth wicket?

    He goes for a yorker and Gareth Berg digs it out.

    Bresnan drops to back of a length and Berg guides the ball away to third man for one.

    Edwards defends - for now.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Fell (b Porter 1)

    Worcestershire 94 & 1-1 v Essex 474-4 dec

    Relegation is getting ever closer for Worcestershire.

    Jamie Porter rips Tom Fell's middle stump out of the ground with a low full toss.

    Fell was simply beaten for pace.

  6. Durham in danger of record low score, again

    Leicestershire 321 v Durham 61 & 34-6

    Durham recorded their lowest ever County Championship score earlier today.

    They might be on course to go even lower.

    Neil Dexter and Mohammad Abbas have three wickets apiece as Durham have fallen to 34-6, needing 27 more just to match their earlier total.

  7. wicket

    WICKET Briggs (lbw b Barker) 12

    Sussex 14-2 v Warwks 440

    Keith Barker has done it again! He has 2-2!

    Danny Briggs is the man to go this time as the makeshift opener can't get a bat on a straight one and is sent on his way.

    Hm, already murmurings of whether or not Warwickshire will enforce the follow-on.

    Let's park that for now. Harry Finch to bat next.

  8. Play resumes at Headingley

    Yorks 184 v Hants 156-9

    Can Hampshire close the gap?

    It will be an amazing effort if they do on a slowish pitch with a fair bit of seam movement.

    Gareth Berg and Fidel Edwards will try and close the gap.

    Steve Patterson to bowl.

  9. Bears strike early

    Sussex 14-1 v Warwks 440

    Chris Wright runs in from the Cromwell Road End and spears it down to leg. No run.

    He changes his line and Luke Wells pushes defensively on the off side.

  10. Essex declare against Worcs

    Worcestershire 94 v Essex 474-7 dec

    Essex might have been reading some of your comments today.

    They finally declare against Worcestershire, Ravi Bopara finishing unbeaten on 133 with his side leading by 380 runs.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Salt (lbw b Barker) 0

    Sussex 11-1 v Warwks 440

    Keith Barker strikes early as the bowler strikes Phil Salt on the pads...

    The batsman looks aggrieved to be given out but it's in the book now.

    We're only in the third over of the innings and in theory already two down given the injury to Tom Haines.

    Luke Wells to bat next.

  12. wicket

    WICKET Crawley (b Bull 168)

    Glamorgan 186 v Kent 294-6

    Zak Crawley walks off after the best innings of his Kent career.

    He's out for 168 after 237 deliveries and over five hours at the crease.

    Kieran Bull gets the dismissal, getting one of his off-spinners to grip just enough to catch the inside edge and deflect onto the stumps.

  13. Durham collapse again

    Leicestershire 321 v Durham 61 & 20-4

  14. Division Two round-up

    Here's the latest from our Division Two games away from Hove and Canterbury...

    Durham have been asked to follow on after 5-23 from Mohammed Abbas routed the visitors for just 61 runs against Leicestershire at Grace Road.

    They're faring little better second time round at 20-3 with openers Cameron Steel and Alex Lees already gone.

    Graham Clark has just been caught by Ateeq Javid off the bowling of Neil Dexter for a three-ball duck.

    They trail by 240.

    Derbyshire have slipped to 93-4 away to Middlesex at Lord's after centuries from Sam Robson and Max Holden helped the hosts reach 423.

    Harvey Hosein was the last man out, lbw to Ethan Bamber for a second-ball duck.

    Northants are 168-8 against Gloucestershire at Bristol, where the lead is a slender 43 runs.

    Ryan Higgins has just dismissed Saif Zaib, bowled for two.

  15. 50 runs

    50 for Sam Billings

    Glamorgan 186 v Kent 288-5

    Kent captain Sam Billings reaches 50 from 74 deliveries.

    His side's lead is already over three figures and they still have five wickets in hand.

  16. Play resumes at Hove

    Sussex 0-0 v Warwks 440

    The bell has rung and the Sussex openers are on their way to the middle - possibly a bit earlier than they might have expected at lunchtime.

    Tom Haines is unlikely to feature again after picking up an ankle injury on day one...

    So who's opening? Danny Briggs comes in to open with Phil Salt.

    Keith Barker to bowl from the Sea End.

  17. Surrey tear through Somerset

    Surrey 485 v Somerset 42-6

    Surrey are celebrating lifting winning the County Championship in some style.

    Second-placed Somerset are 42-6, Conor McKerr having just taken two wickets in an over.

    Tom Abell made 21 before being caught behind off Rikki Clarke, but no other batsman has reached double figures.

  18. Play to resume shortly at Headingley

    Yorks 184 v Hants 156-9

    Good news.

    The band of rain has come and gone and the covers are being removed.

    If there's no more rain we'll be back underway at 14:40 BST.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Harmer (b Twohig 57)

    Worcestershire 94 v Essex 452-7

    Worcestershire deserve some credit just for keeping going after a disastrous start to their match against Essex.

    Simon Harmer is dismissed for 57, bowled as he swings and misses at a straight delivery from left-arm spinner Ben Twohig.

  20. Innings break at Hove

    Sussex v Warwks 440

    Quite a dramatic turnaround at Hove and if the Sussex batsmen can get off to a good start parity or even a small lead is not out of the question.

    Hats off to Jofra Archer, who ripped out the last four wickets in just a couple of overs.
