Day two of round four of the County Championship
All 18 counties play
Teams split into three groups of six
Warwickshire, Hampshire & Lancashire top of groups
England batsman Pope makes century for Surrey; Amla makes double ton
Worcs v Essex 269-2
Essex start day two in an extremely strong position at New Road.
Captain Tom Westley is closing in on a century, while England batsman Dan Lawrence will be looking for a big score of his own on a decent track.
There is a bit of weather about in Worcester this morning though. One to keep an eye on.
Lancs v Sussex 320-7
Exciting session coming up at Hove where Sussex are trying to stretch out to a fourth batting point.
Their lower order rallied well last week against Yorkshire, if it does so again, Sussex could have a nice number to work with.
Derbys 86-9 v Notts 256
It didn't take long for Notts to get stuck back in to Derbyshire.
Luke Fletcher has just removed Ben Aitchison to leave them 86-9. 21 still needed to avoid the follow-on as last man Sam Conners comes in.
Fletcher has 4-23.
Derbys 86-8 v Notts 256
It could be a pivotal morning in this East Midlands derby.
Derbyshire need another 21 to avoid the follow-on. Notts need another two wickets.
With some weather around, Notts may well want to enforce it.
Surrey 131-1 v Hants 92
Hashim Amla (59 not out) and Rory Burns (61 not out) resume their innings for Surrey.
Hampshire need wickets. And lots of them.
Day two is now under way.
Big session coming up for quite a few sides. Let's see what happens...

It was a poor opening day from two of the three group leaders.
Group One leaders Warwickshire were bowled out for just 87 at Durham having been 30-8 at one stage.
Durham then overtook that without losing a wicket to reach 88-0 at stumps.
In Group Two, leaders Hampshire were also skittled for a low score at The Oval. Surrey dismissed them for 92 before unbeaten half-centuries from Rory Burns and Hashim Amla took them to 131-1 at the close.
Group Three leaders Lancashire also endured a tricky first day at Hove - Sussex closed on 318-7 and will be looking to push towards 400 this morning.
