We've reached tea at Yorkshire too with the white rose county losing four wickets in the afternoon session.

It's in the balance at Canterbury.

A clenched fist, a beaming smile and plenty of back slapping from his team-mates.

Simon Kerrigan, playing at Emirates Old Trafford for the first since leaving Lancashire, dismissed Josh Bohannon on 68 towards the end of the afternoon session. A moment he understandably enjoyed.

The ball before the wicket bounced and turned and may have played its part in the dismissal as his very next delivery hit Bohannon’s pad and Kerrigan celebrated. Had there been a crowd inside the ground even the home supporters would have applauded.

Lancashire will be the happier of the two sides as the afternoon session comes to an end.

But that late wicket to Josh Bohannon (68) will be so frustrating.

It's tea in Nottinghamshire and I'd say that's the hosts' session.

The Green and Golds added 100 runs and lost two wickets to frustrate Warwickshire who had edged the morning's play.

If the morning belonged to Gloucestershire, the afternoon has belonged to Somerset.

Steven Davies and Craig Overton have shared an unbroken stand of 112 to drag the hosts back into the match at Taunton.

Breakthrough for Kent as Miguel Cummins traps Harry Brook lbw.

A lovely cameo from Brook comes to an end, with the batsman making 54 from 80. England spinner Dom Bess is the new man in.

And now they're off at The Oval again! That'll be tea.

That's First-class wicket number 100 for Cook.

Hassan Azad and Sam Evans have both now passed fifty as Leicestershire continue to dominate at The Oval.

They're onto 108-0.

Steven Davies looks in terrific touch here, first driving through the covers and then clipping serenely off his legs for two fours in the space of three balls.

Davies (64 not out) and Craig Overton (43 not out) have also brought up the 100 partnership.

A patient knock so far from Lancashire's Josh Bohannon who also reaches his 50 off 147 balls.

Northamptonshire have bowled so economically and will be pleased despite only taking three wickets. The Lancashire batsman aren't being offered any freebies and are really having to work for every one of their runs.

Yorkshire's Harry Brook has just reached a brilliant 50 off 72 balls.

Kent need wickets and they need them fast. The visitors have looked the better of the two sides all day.

They're back under way at The Oval, by the way, after that earlier delay for bad light and rain.

Hassan Azad (48 not out) and Sam Evans (40 not out) have been going along very nicely so far.

How often are Somerset rescued by their lower order?!

It's been a superb counter-attacking partnership from Steven Davies and Craig Overton, who've rebuilt from 110-5 and are gradually edging their side to a score to bowl at.

Davies has just brought up his half-century, including eight fours and one six, while Overton is there with him unbeaten on 39.

Another player has entered the nervous 90s.

Derbyshire's Leus du Plooy is on 94 from 152 deliveries.

The South African hasn't put a foot wrong so far as Derbyshire race towards 200.

Middlesex have taken a couple of key wickets to start to pressure Hampshire's sold start - in particular removing last week's top scorer James Vince.

On that back of that 231 at Leicestershire, the right handed arrived in the middle with his side having made a studious start to keep the persistent visiting attack at bay.

The pitch is a fraction on the slow side but there is seam movement with a generous grass cover left on and Hampshire have been clear in the shot selection and judgement.

However, the removal of opener Ian Holland, at second slip, paired the big named middle order of Sam Northeast and Vince - only for Martin Andersson to have the latter snared at slip.

One of last week's other centurions, Liam Dawson, comes out with a solid foundation still there but equally a chance for a seam attack, that have shared the wickets so far, to drive home the pressure.

Essex are nine down.

Ben Allison is the latest to go, caught by keeper Stuart Poynter off the bowling of Chris Rushworth.

Not a great day one for the County Championship holders.

Fantastic pace from England international Olly Stone to remove Joe Clarke for 29.

A bouncer catches out Clarke who top-edges it to keeper Michael Burgess.

It's advantage Warwickshire with new men Tom Moores and Liam Patterson-White both at the crease yet to get off the mark.
