Alex Winter

  1. Tea at Taunton

    Somerset 232-7 v Hampshire

    And, last but not least, that's tea at Taunton too.

    Lewis Gregory and Roelef van der Merwe have wrestled Somerset right back into this match from 43-5.

  2. Tea at Chelmsford

    Essex v Notts 166-3

    And that's tea at Chelmsford after a really good couple of hours for Nottinghamshire.

  3. Tea at Derby

    Derbys v Warks 185-5

    That's tea at Derby.

    Warwickshire are 185-5, with the wicket of Sam Hain provided a really boost for Derbyshire late in the afternoon session.

  4. Tea at Grace Road

    Leics 224-2 v Glos

    Gloucestershire fielding first for the eighth consecutive match and struggling.

    Marcus Harris has made his third century of the summer, following up his 185 last weekend.

    He and Colin Ackermann have put the Foxes firmly on top.

  5. 50 runs

    for Lyndon James & Steven Mullaney

    Essex v Notts 166-3

    Well played, Lyndon James and Steven Mullaney.

    In the space of just a few moments both Nottinghamshire batsmen reach their half-centuries.

    The pair have put on 118 for the fourth wicket.

  6. Tea at Canterbury

    Kent v Northants 253-2

    Emilio Gay's maiden first-class hundred has led a wonderful day for Northants at the St Lawrence Ground.

    He fell for 101 but Luke Procter has picked up the mantle, unbeaten on 55.

  7. Tea at Headingley

    Sussex 163-4 v Yorks

    A really good session for Sussex in the end.

    At 68-4 they were in huge trouble but Ben Brown, on 71, and 38 from Aaron Thomason have shared an excellent partnership.

    Still work to do to get stuck into the bonus-points.

  8. Derbys v Warks 180-5

    Got him at last.

    Sam Hain departs for a very well-constructed 77 from 161 balls, caught by Wayne Madsen off the bowling of Luis Reece.

    Tim Bresnan is the next man in.

  9. wicket

    Lancashire all out

    Glam v Lancs 173

    Not quite 180 in the end for Lancashire but they have avoided a complete rout.

    Tom Bailey's 31 added to Luke Wood's 28 down the order to at least put a little something on the board for Lancashire.

    The wickets spread around for Glamorgan who now, after tea, must find a way to resist Lancashire's excellent attack.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Roelef van der Merwe

    Somerset 214-7 v Hampshire

    Like Lewis Gregory before him, Roelef van der Merwe has a half-century.

    These two have now put on a 100-run partnership for the eighth wicket.

  11. 100 runs

    for Marcus Harris

    Leics 209-2 v Glos

    Marcus Harris follows up his match-winning 185 on Sunday with another century here.

    A good toss to win for Leicestershire and they're making the most of it with Colin Ackermann also going past fifty.

    Another struggle in the field for Gloucestershire, not what they wanted to try and regather after last week's defeat.

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Lewis Gregory

    Somerset 203-7 v Hampshire

    This was getting messy for Somerset at 43-5 and, at that point, a batting point looked a pretty long way off.

    But, after some decent work from Steve Davies and Tom Banton, Lewis Gregory and Roelof van der Merwe have gone on the attack.

    And Gregory has brought up his half-century from 56 balls, including eight fours.

    Van der Merwe is unbeaten on 43 and has whacked a couple of maximums in that too.

  13. wicket

    Worcs all out for 131

    It's all over for Worcestershire.

    Matthew Potts and Brydon Carse finish up with four wickets each as Durham run through the hosts at New Road.

    Brett D'Oliveira is stranded not out on 39 at the end - Worcestershire's highest scorer.

    That's also tea.

  14. 100 runs

    for Emilio Gay

    Kent v Northants 233-1

    What a moment this is for 21-year-old Emilio Gay.

    He goes to a maiden first-class hundred in his eighth match.

    157 balls, 15 fours and a six, quite the innings too.

    Northants continue to pour it on at Canterbury.

  15. Worcs 123-8 v Durham

    Worcestershire have lost another couple of wickets since our last update, with Ed Barnard departing for a 26-ball 20 and then Joe Leach for a duck two overs later.

    Brydon Carse took both wickets and now has 4-18.

  16. Glam v Lancs 141-7

    Lancashire trying to scrap for a number at Cardiff.

    Luke Wood made a counterattacking 28 but he's come and gone.

    Can they squeeze their way up towards maybe 180?

  17. 50 runs

    for Sam Hain

    Derbys v Warks 124-4

    He's been short of regular partners - thanks to Sam Conners - but Sam Hain has batted nicely so far and has moved to his half-century.

    It came off 111 balls and included seven fours.

  18. 200 runs

    up for Northamptonshire

    Kent v Northants 205-1

    Northants continue to rattle along at Canterbury and have already brought up a batting point.

    Emilio Gay, in his eighth first-class match, is onto 89, a first-class best, can he make it a maiden hundred?

  19. Derbys v Warks 113-4

    Sam Conners is having a terrific day for Derbyshire, removing Matthew Lamb to take his fourth wicket.

    Sam Hain is closing in on a half-century for the Bears, currently 45 not out.

  20. 50 runs

    for Marcus Harris

    Leics 129-2 v Glos

    A top-two finish is beyond Leicestershire but they can put a big dent in Gloucestershire's ambitions for Division One this week.

    It's a very solid start for the home side with Marcus Harris going to fifty, backing up his 185 from last week.
