    Foakes c McManus b Currie 7 (Surrey 526-4 v Hampshire 92)

    Got him!

    England's Ben Foakes doesn't last long getting a thick edge trying to tickle one down to third man.

    He goes for seven and Scott Currie has his second wicket.

    The collapse is on.

    Worcs 37-0 v Essex 561-8 dec

    Worcestershire openers Daryl Mitchell and Jake Libby have resumed at New Road - a ground that is producing plenty of runs this season.

    They'll need to go big in the first innings after Essex's 561-8 declared.

    A first wicket of the day for Sussex as Jamie Atkins pins Josh Bohannon leg before for 37.

    Hashim Amla hasn't come out to bat this morning.

    Instead Ben Foakes joins Jamie Smith (68 not out) at the crease.

    Derbys 26-0 (target 470) v Notts

    Notts haven't won a game in red-ball cricket since June 2018.

    Darren Stevens celebratesImage source, Rex Features

    Darren Stevens' 45th birthday turned out to be a real day for the old boys in the County Championship.

    The oldest current cricketer in the English county game celebrated his big day by completing the 46th five-wicket haul of his first-class career to bowl Kent back into the game against Glamorgan in Cardiff and limit their first-innings lead to just 59.

    But then Michael Hogan, a mere stripling at just 39 years of age, stole the show.

    The long-serving Australian took 5-28 in 10 overs - Stevens was bowled by David Lloyd for the second time in the match for a third-ball duck - and it was all over inside two days at Sophia Gardens with Glamorgan wrapping up a 10-wicket win.

    Meanwhile, South Africa Test legend Hashim Amla, the baby of the day's three heroes at 38, stroked an unbeaten 215 from 367 balls, bolstered by 131 from England's Ollie Pope as Surrey steamrollered their way to 513-3 against Group Two leaders Hampshire at The Kia Oval.
