Leics 222 v Notts 158-0

It's going to be one of those afternoons. Soon after lunch they're coming off at Grace Road as a heavy rain shower whips through.

Thankfully they weren't delayed for long after lunch at Headingley and the players are back out.

Adam Lyth and Jonathan Tattersall to resume batting for Yorkshire.

Warwickshire, for reasons not yet known, have declared one ball into their 120th over.

One wonders why they didn't bother with the remaining five deliveries?

Anyway they've got a good total on the board thanks to Will Rhodes fabulous double hundred.

It's not a score to take complete control of this game though and Worcestershire will be hopeful for a response.

The hosts need a win to keep alive their hopes of reaching the final considering events at Taunton.

Hants v Essex 83-0 - rain delay

Yep, the covers are back on at Arundel. Quite a bit more rain to come by the looks of things too I'm afraid.

We're back .

There's been a bit of rain about in the lunch break so we may have a couple of delays.

The sun was shining at Arundel, but the rain appears to have moved back in once again sadly.

Northants batsman Charlie Thurston is in sight of his first county century as he accelerated smoothly through the first session against Glamorgan to reach 93 not out

Opener Ben Curran, on 80 not out, has also been able to move up the gears after a quiet start as he scored only 7 in the first hour.

It was a difficult session for Glamorgan with Dan Douthwaite and Timm van der Gugten proving economical, but the attack unable to produce any concerted pressure despite some fine stops in the field.

Just 59 runs in arrears, Northants will look to build up a decent lead by the close.

Warwickshire’s captain Will Rhodes departed to an ungainly slog just before lunch in the scramble for runs before the 120-over limit – but the manner of the dismissal certainly won’t foreshadow an outstanding innings.

His 207 was a handsome effort, not only the highest score of his career by a considerable margin, but surely he can never have played with more assurance.

His timing was almost always right, not only of individual strokes but of the innings as a whole, increasing the pace this morning with the overs-cap in mind.

Stepping up the scoring rate cannot have been straightforward, on a pitch Sam Hain described last night as “turgid”, but still Rhodes managed his fourth fifty from 47 balls.

The teenager Dan Mousley also enjoyed himself, clearly batting with more confidence today from the moment he cover drove Josh Tongue for an early boundary; he fell just short of a maiden half-century, but if he bats in this manner that milestone will soon come.

Other perished in the sprint, and – cricket regulations being what they are – the Warwickshire tail will resume after the break for 16 more balls of batting, if they spin out their remaining wickets for that long, however.

But as every cricket supporter knows, lunch – even pre-packed – will not wait.

It's been a bitter-sweet day for Durham all-rounder Paul Coughlin. While his 90 is highest score in first-class cricket he looked set to get to 100.

That was until Matt Critchley was brought into the Derbyshire attack after they had failed to take a wicket in the first hour and 55 minutes of action on day two.

Coughlin looked to cut the third ball and played on, losing his off-stump. Matty Potts was then bowled two balls later for a duck. But Coughlin put on 157 for the seventh wicket with Ned Eckersley, who has 61 at lunch.

It was Durham's highest seventh-wicket stand against Derbyshire, breaking Coughlin's partnership of 130 with Paul Collingwood here in 2017.

Coughlin's previous best score in first-class cricket was 85, which came on his Championship debut against Lancashire in 2014.

By the 110 over mark Durham were 313-8 so picked up three batting points, restricting Derbyshire to two bowling points. However, the forecast for this afternoon is not good. It is really gloomy here and heavy rain is predicted. The floodlights have been on for most of the session too.

With the players at lunch, myself and Alex will grab a bite to eat ourselves.

In the meantime we'll hear what the local radio commentators have made of those morning sessions.

Back shortly.
