Worcestershire 309-3 v Glamorgan
New Road is one of the grounds where we have the cool, cloudy conditions this morning.
But Worcestershire will still feel confident of piling on the runs... Jake Libby (142*) and Brett D'Oliveira (123*) resume with their fourth-wicket partnership currently at 239.

And a quick wicket at Chester-le-Street too.
Ben Raine also strikes in the first over of the day, as Alex Davies nicks to David Bedingham at slip

Abell c Rossington b Sanderson 12 (Northants 67 v Somerset 166 & 15-2)
Rinse and repeat from day one!
Somerset captain Tom Abell nicks the third ball of day two from Ben Sanderson behind. It's another jaffa.
That's six wickets in the match for the Northants paceman now.

Your memories of watching England players in county cricket

There were thousands of Tweets coming in yesterday using #bbcricket .
Unfortunately, they were all talking about some Test Match and they completely buried your responses to our Counties Get Involved.
That means it's time for an audience interaction rollover!
In honour of Jonny Bairstow, Alastair Cook and Dawid Malan all batting yesterday, we asked you for your tales of watching England players, past and present, on the county circuit.
Tweet using #bbccricket and we'll share as many as we can during play.

- England Test hopefuls Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan fell cheaply, but Yorkshire recovered from 33-3 to 264 all out against Nottinghamshire thanks to youngster Jordan Thomas' 103-ball 98.
- Somerset took a 114-run lead in their clash with Northamptonshire as 21 wickets fell at Wantage Road. The hosts bowled Somerset out for 166, but were then skittled for just 67 in reply.
- Brett D'Oliveira and Jake Libby's unbroken stand of 239 took Worcestershire to 309-3 against Glamorgan. The Pears are in control with both players not out overnight having already made centuries.
- Martin Andersson's career-best 92 helped Middlesex to 252 all out before Hampshire closed on 27-2 at Radlett.

Essex 253-7 v Surrey

It may be a grey start throughout the central swathe of England, but not at Chelmsford where it's another blazer.
Essex will resume batting shortly under sunny skies where they'll be hoping the last three wickets can push them north of 300.
So what else happened yesterday?

Hello, and welcome to a cooler and slightly more overcast second day of the Bob Willis Trophy.
Unless you're in the furnace that is the south-east of England.
Coming up we've got all 18 counties in action with plenty of games finely balanced. Play starts at 11:00 BST.
