    Champions Essex were shocked by Durham's bowlers as they were all out for just 96 on day one. But the hosts also enjoyed success with the ball despite a fine century from Scott Borthwick on a day where 18 wickets fell.

    Elsewhere, Kent's Darren Stevens, 44, notched up yet another career landmark with his 550th first-class wicket.

    That came in a match where England captain Joe Root failed again to make the most of time at the crease, making just 11.

    There were also a few more centurions, Derbyshire's Matt Critchley with 109 against Worcestershire, Glamorgan's Kiran Carlson scoring an unbeaten 127 at Sussex and Leicestershire's Sam Evans reaching 100 before stumps against Surrey.

    And we even saw a Stuart Broad cameo for Nottinghamshire. The England bowler scored a quick 21 with the bat and took 1-10 just before close.
