Division One leaders Somerset all out for 326 against Notts after 50s for Davies and Bess
Tom Westley makes 50 in Essex's 122-3 after they dismissed Yorkshire for 208
Surrey six wickets down at stumps against Kent at the Oval
Yates makes maiden 50 for Warwickshire after Hampshire post 539 on day two
Both teams bowled out on crazy day one of Worcs v Derbyshire at Kidderminster in Division Two
Bavuma makes 100 for Northants against Lancashire
Surrey 119-3 v Kent
Image source, Rex FeaturesDean Elgar reaches the interval unbeaten on 62, having taken a blow to the body, with Ben Foakes six not out. This innings could go either way.
Middlesex 131-6 v Gloucestershire
A dominant session for Gloucestershire at the Middlesex out ground of Merchant Taylors' School has put them in command. Four wickets went down and it's left the home side on 131-6 with two new faces at the crease.
Wicketkeeper John Simpson is the last recognised batsman, although partner Toby Roland-Jones can give it a real whack when he wants to.
Essex 42-1 v Yorkshire 208
Keshav Maharaj and Steve Patterson couldn't find a breakthrough for Yorkshire in a short spell before tea, so Essex reach the interval for the loss of only Nick Browne to Matthew Fisher. Alastair Cook (16) and Tom Westley (16) are at the crease.
The pace at which the home side are scoring their runs means all of sudden their eating into that Yorkshire first-innings total, which based on previous efforts this season is actually a pretty good score.
This final session of day one should tell us whether or not the Yorkshire batsmen got value out of the wicket.
Northants 215-4 v Lancashire
It's tea at Wantage Road and the South Africa batsman has a half-century for the home side.
Somerset 195-6 v Nottinghamshire
Steven Davies (28) and Dom Bess (25) reach their 50 partnership on the stroke of tea and Somerset will be happy with how the pair have battled to the interval.
Three wickets fell in that session and it was looking dicey for the home side with Notts spinner Ravi Ashwin in particular getting the ball to turn a fair bit.
He'll be hoping to add to his two scalps after a drink and a snack.
Essex 42-1 v Yorkshire 208
Essex, like Yorkshire did, are scoring at a very quick rate.
Alastair Cook and Tom Westley have ridden the dismissal of Nick Browne and taken their side to 42-1 from just 10 overs.
Westley's been the chief run-scorer - his 16 runs have all come via boundaries.
Somerset 193-6 v Nottinghamshire
Somerset are moving towards 193 against Nottinghamshire at Taunton courtesy of an impressive, unbroken stand between Steve Davies and Dom Bess.
They came together with the score on 145-6 and with Somerset in danger of being skittled out.
Surrey 113-3 v Kent
Image source, Rex FeaturesDean Elgar displayed an unusual method of keeping loose while waiting for Ben Foakes to make his way to the crease.
Foakes has made a patient start since arriving in the middle. The England wicketkeeper has four from 26 balls.
But Surrey's hopes of avoiding the follow-on probably rest with Elgar, who has 58 from 125 deliveries. It's slow, painstaking but sensible batting.
Away from the flurry of wickets at Kidderminster and Leicester, things are a little more low-key.
Josh Shaw has three wickets for Gloucestershire against Middlesex, who are 123-6, and South Africa batsman Temba Bavuma is 38 not out for Northants, who are 197-4 at home to Lancashire.
Sussex v Australia A
The game is finally due to start as Sussex take on an Australia A side led by Test captain Tim Paine and featuring likely Ashes bowler Josh Hazelwood.

Essex 11-1 v Yorkshire 208
A Matthew Fisher delivery just holds in the pitch slightly and Nick Browne gets a leading edge. There was still plenty to do though as Fisher needed a sprawling dive to the left on his follow-through to complete the dismissal.
Safe hands from the young Yorkshire seamer and Essex lose their first wicket.
Essex 5-0 v Yorkshire 208
Image source, Rex FeaturesAn expected turn of events if you can remember the impact Matthew Fisher made as a 17-year-old for Yorkshire before a spate of injuries set him back, but still this is interesting.
On the now 21-year-old's return to the team he's immediately usurped Duanne Olivier as Ben Coad's new-ball partner.
That's the Duanne Olivier who'd taken 48 Test wickets at 19 a piece before he quit the South Africa team to turn Kolpak.
Faith in Fisher indeed.
Surrey 99-3 v Kent
Scott Borthwick is down on one knee in frustration after being cleaned up by a fine inswinger from Harry Podmore to give the Kent bowler a second wicket.
There might have been a slight inside edge as Borthwick tried to drive but Podmore will not be too fussed.
Kent are a wicket or two away from being in complete charge as Ben Foakes arrives at the crease.

Warwickshire 52-2 v Hampshire 539
Rob Yates hits Keith Barker through backward point to take him to 24 and bring up the Warwickshire 50.
Sam Hain is one not out but the Bears still trail by 487.
Durham 117 v Leicestershire
After a bit of a rally, Durham collapse from 102-6 to 117 all out - their final three wickets fell for just three runs. Superb stuff from Chris Wright, who finishes with figures of 5-30.
Surrey 97-2 v Kent
Image source, Rex FeaturesDean Elgar works Darren Stevens off his hip for two to bring up his half-century from 106 balls.
Scott Borthwick is with him on two not out.
Yorkshire 208 v Essex
Image source, Rex FeaturesEssex spinner Simon Harmer seals a five-for with figures of 5-76 by trapping a sweeping Matthew Fisher lbw for 25 and in turn bowling Yorkshire out for 208.
Harry Brook top-scored with 46 while, along with Fisher, Will Fraine, Jonny Tattersall and Keshav Maharaj all contributed 20-something.
Alastair Cook and Nick Browne will be the men out to the crease first for Essex.

Warwickshire 39-2 v Hampshire 539
It's never nice to be caught at cover, but especially galling when you're being talked about as a possible England Ashes opener.
Dom Sibley tries to drive Kyle Abbott but gets a leading edge low down on the bat and Rilee Rossouw takes a good catch.
Sibley swishes his bat in frustration as the fielders race to congratulate Rossouw. Warwickshire need a partnership pretty badly.
Derbyshire 108 all out v Worcestershire
Four wickets for Charlie Morris and three for captain Joe Leach as Worcestershire's bowlers make short work of Derbyshire, for whom Luis Reece and Fynn Hudson-Prentice top-scored jointly with 31.
The decision to bat first at Kidderminster does not look at great one.
Daryl Mitchell, making his 200th first-class appearance, will shortly be opening Worcestershire's reply.
Yorkshire 206-9 v Essex
On comes Aaron Beard and he strikes straight away for Essex, taking the edge of Ben Coad's bat and leaving Adam Wheater to do the rest with a smart catch behind the stumps, diving in front of the first-slip fielder.
A very handy 14 from 15 balls from the Yorkshire tailender though.
