  1. wicket

    WICKET Banton c Lyth b Bresnan 2

    Somerset 46-4 v Yorks

    Got him! Tim Bresnan gets one to hoop in to Tom Banton from outside off stump.

    For a split second it looks like lbw but that's a thin edge through to Adam Lyth in the slips.

    Yorkshire firmly on top.

    George Bartlett to bat next.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Northeast c Borthwick b Clake 5 (Hants 26-4)

    But here is the fourth wicket, Sam Northeast has gone and Rikki Clarke has figures of 3-5 in his fifth over. All manner of trouble for the hosts.

  3. Somerset pegged back by Yorkshire

    Somerset 44-3 v Yorks

    The runs have dried to a trickle since James Hildreth got out.

    That'll help. Tom Abell drives Olivier through the gully for four.

    Still just seven runs in the last 25 balls though.

  4. Hants 26-3 v Surrey

    Big appeal for a fourth wicket at the Ageas Bowl as James Vince lashes at a wide one from Jordan Clark. Ben Foakes takes it behind the stumps but there is nothing from the umpire and the 20th over is completed.

  5. The latest in Division Two

    Here's the state of play so far in the second division games:

    Northants have dismissed Paul Horton and Colin Ackermann at Grace Road, where Leicestershire are now 54-2.

    Gloucestershire are 62-1 at Bristol against Sussex.

    Billy Godleman and Luis Reece have got Derbyshire off to a bright start against Lancashire at Old Trafford with 66-0 off 20 overs to date.

    Durham are 57-2 against Middlesex at Lord's, where openers Alex Lees and Cameron Steel have both been dismissed.

    Hamish Rutherford was bowled by Michael Hogan for 19 to leave Worcestershire 21-1 against Glamorgan at New Road.

    Since then the Pears have recovered to 53-1.

  6. Sibley survives

    Warwicks 62-0 v Essex

    The first edge of the morning at Edgbaston but it falls between first and second slip and Dom Sibley collects another two runs, Sam Cook the unlucky bowler, as Warwickshire enjoy a profitable opening 20 overs.

  7. Cox defiant for Kent

    Notts v Kent 55-1

    Shot! Jordan Cox drives Paul Coughlin down the ground to pick up four and move to 21.

    Coughlin drops short and forces the batsman to sway out of the way.

    Promising innings from the 18-year-old.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Hildreth b Olivier 1

    Somerset 37-3 v Yorks

    Yorkshire are on a roll!

    Duanne Olivier bowls his quickest ball yet and James Hildreth is done for pace.

    The off peg is rocked back and second-placed Somerset are wobbling against third-placed Yorkshire.

    We have two Toms at the crease now - Banton and Abell.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Alsop b Clarke 3 (Hants 21-3)

    Hampshire in all sorts of trouble and 37-year-old Rikki Clarke, with his angled run, has 2-0 in his fourth over. Tom Alsop the man to go, bowled.

    Skipper James Vince is the new batsman for the hosts.

  10. Sibley defies Essex

    Warwicks 52-0

    Dom Sibley re-takes his guard after the drinks break at Edgbaston and punches the final ball of floppy-haired seamer Aaron Beard's opening over down the ground for his first boundary. Essex have the slip cordon packed but they have not been in business yet this morning in the opening 17 overs.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Vijay c Tattersall b Olivier 7

    Somerset 31-2 v Yorks

    Awkward start for Duanne Olivier, who delivers three no-balls in his first over.

    That's much better! His third legal delivery rises and leaves Muarli Vijay and the batsman edges to the keeper.

    Over to you, James Hildreth.

  12. No success for Sussex

    Glos 39-0 v Sussex

    Adrian Harms
    Sports reporter, BBC Sussex

    A solid start from Gloucestershire who having been asked to bat have negotiated the opening hour without undue alarm.

    With the lights on and cloud cover these looked ideal bowling conditions, but so far the Sussex bowlers haven't quite made the batsman play enough against the new ball

    The sun is now out the lights off, and Gloucestershire will be the happier of the two sides.

  13. Kent rebuild after early wicket

    Notts v Kent 41-1

    It's alternating between sunshine and autumnal gloom today at Trent Bridge.

    Ravi Ashwin beats Bell-Drummond outside off stump with his first ball of the 15th over.

    Remember, this is a must-win game for Notts who are bottom of the table with just 51 points in 11 matches - a full 42 points behind Warwickshire.

    Paul Coughlin to bowl the 16th over.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Organ c Elgar b Clarke 6 (Hants 18-2)

    Two wickets in quick succession for Surrey at the Ageas Bowl, first Ian Holland bowled and then Felix Organ with a wild swipe and taken at slip in the next over.

  15. Rhodes making hay at Edgbaston

    Warwicks 40-0

    Big appeal for lbw at Edgbaston as Sam Cook traps Will Rhodes on the pad but not out is the verdict as Essex remain without a wicket after 14 overs, with Rhodes clipping his fourth boundary neatly through mid-wicket.

  16. Abell and Vijay at the crease for Somerset

    Somerset 29-1 v Yorkshire

    Steven Patterson tries to tempt Tom Abell outside off. The batsman leaves.

    Runs! Tom Abell picks up his first four through backward point, opening the face of the bat with deft touch.

    Ouch! Patterson strays to leg and that's four byes. Frustration for the White Rose.

    Tim Bresnan replaces Ben Coad at the River End.

    Is Coad injured? He's off the field after bowling seven overs.

  17. Jason Roy's a Spurs fan then....we are finding out all sorts about him this summer.

  18. Frustration for Jake Ball

    Notts v Kent 39-1

    Jordan Cox leaves Jake Ball outside the off stump.

    The bowler goes full and an lbw shout is turned down. Too leg side.

    Edged wide of the slips and Cox gets a streaky four to third man.

  19. 'Must win for Notts'

    Notts v Kent 32-1

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    Kent are re-building at Trent Bridge after the early loss of Zak Crawley.

    Daniel Bell-Drummond has dominated the strike, making 14 of the 17 so far added with Jordan Cox.

    Luke Fletcher, who took the wicket, and Jake Ball, have bowled testing lines in the early stages in what is, for the home side, a must-win encounter.

  20. Division Two round-up

    Here's the state of play so far this morning in the second division games:

    Northants have struck early at Grace Road with the wicket of Paul Horton, caught by Alex Wakely off the bowling of Brett Hutton for a duck. Leicestershire are now 27-1.

    Gloucestershire are 23-0 at Bristol against Sussex.

    Billy Godleman and Luis Reece have got Derbyshire off to a bright start against Lancashire at Old Trafford with 40-0 off 10 overs to date.

    Durham are 30-0 against Middlesex at Lord's.

    Hamish Rutherford has just been bowled by Michael Hogan for 19 to leave Worcestershire 21-1 against Glamorgan at New Road.
