There's also been a wicket at Taunton, where Tom Lace has been dismissed by Craig Overton for seven.

Somerset continue to chip away at the visitors' line-up.

It's not been an afternoon session for the batsmen so far, has it?! Plenty of wickets tumbling across the county.

Incredible stuff!

Back in the East Midlands and Sam Hain has reached his 50 off 96 balls.

I reckon Hain, or any other batsman, will have to score 350+ if they want to replace Abbas' figures as the lead story on the cricket page today.

And, in the very next over, Kyle Abbott dismisses Toby Roland-Jones - denying Abbas the opportunity for all 10 wickets!

Meanwhile, Essex have lost their first batsman with Chris Rushworth finding Nick Browne's middle stump. He's out for four and Essex are in trouble.

They still need another 156 runs just to make Durham bat again.

And even more wickets to tell you about at the start of the afternoon session as Stuart Broad traps Danny Briggs for 36.

That's dismissal number three for the England international.

Right, it looks like we're just about ready to get back under way in the majority of our nine matches.

I reckon we're in for another busy afternoon.

What an introduction to his first home game in a Hampshire sweater (or two!).

If Mohammad Abbas is looking to regain his spot in the Pakistan Test team then he only needs to send a video of his first 17 balls to the management.

In that time he blew away the Middlesex top order - he was arrow straight, perfectly accurate and unless you got well forward you were more than likely going to be lbw.

Hampshire are well in command,

A tremendous morning for Sussex, who trail by just 74 runs at lunch with nine wickets in hand.

The only wicket to fall was that of Aaron Thomason, who was brilliantly caught low down by Michael Hogan off his own bowling.

Tom Haines, who is looking for his second hundred of the season, remains undefeated on 87, and South African Stiaan Van Zyl has raced to a half-century in just 77 balls with seven boundaries.

Honours just about even in an absorbing morning session, with the Somerset bowlers coming back well after Kraigg Brathwaite and Chris Dent had given Gloucestershire something of a flying start.

Brathwaite looked unhappy about his lbw decision, but there could be no dispute over Dent's outside edge to one of a fired-up Marchant de Lange's thunderbolts.

There doesn't appear to be much in the pitch for Jack Leach to work with but he was accuracy personified, conceding just five runs in six overs.

A great session for Durham, who have moved into a winning position and potentially threaten Essex’s near three-year unbeaten home run in Championship cricket.

Chelmsford-born Matt Salisbury with 41 and an unbeaten half-century from Stuart Poynter have done the damage as Durham added 111 runs this morning.

The Essex bowling looked relatively unthreatening and they must hope the ease with which the visitors’ tail batted means conditions are now weighted towards the batting side.

Simon Harmer’s 38 five-wicket haul only adds to his reputation but he will now need his top order to save the day.

A middle-order wobble has taken the shine off of Leicestershire's innings a bit here, with Callum Parkinson falling to the final ball before lunch.

They're still in command, though.

That's just about been Gloucestershire's morning, I reckon.

Kraigg Brathwaite (18) and Chris Dent (50) were the two wickets to fall.

Having lost Will Rhodes very early this morning, Danny Briggs (36 not out) and Sam Hain (43 not out) have led a really positive Warwickshire recovery at Trent Bridge.

And it's also lunch at Old Trafford.

It looks like new man Rob Keogh wasn't too defensive in the last over after all. He's hit two fours to reach eight not out, the same total as his partner Ricardo Vasconcelos.

Another great session for Sussex finishes with the visitors on 211-1.

Tom Haines remains not out on 87 while Stiaan van Zyl has also survived having just reached his 50.

In the penultimate over before lunch at Derby, Daryl Mitchell fell for nine - bowled by Fynn Hudson-Prentice - leave Worcestershire 25-2 at the interval.

We've reached lunch at Southampton, where Middlesex will be glad to get in for some sandwiches.

I'll not apologise for repeating these figures, either - Mohammad Abbas has taken 5-6 from six overs this morning.
