    A bad day for England's top order. First Dom Sibley is out for a duck playing for Warwickshire, then Zak Crawley fails to score for Kent, and now Rory Burns has gone cheaply at the Ageas Bowl.

    He only has himself to blame, chasing a ball from Keith Barker outside off stump and Joe Weatherley claims his second catch of the innings.

  2. wicket

    WICKET Stevens c Davies b Lamb 19published at 15:50 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Kent 51-9 v Lancashire

    Just like watching the T20 Blast. Danny Lamb bowls, Darren Stevens gives himself room and hits the ball straight to long-off where Alex Davies barely has to move to take the catch.

  3. Tea at Cheltenhampublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Glos 163-3 v Middx

    A solid day so far for the Glosters having been sent in.

    Miles Hammond has led the way with 75 but they're yet to do too much damage.

    Middlesex have kept the scoring rate in check.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Hain c Bancroft b Stokes 30published at 15:46 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Warwickshire 142-3 v Durham

    Ben Stokes has just taken his first County Championship wicket in three years. That's how long it is since he last played for Durham in the competition.

    It's been tough going for the players today, for both the bowlers and the batsmen on a track which has slowed and is hard to score runs on.

    Sam Hain had added 72 for the third Warwickshire wicket with Rob Yates when he pulled a short one from Stokes to Cameron Bancroft at leg gully.

    Yates has faced 188 balls for his patient 72 and there are 45 overs remaining of day two.

    Notts 69-2 v Derbyshire 149

    Back-to-back boundaries for Steven Mullaney off George Scrimshaw, both square cuts. He is 25 not out and Haseeb Hameed has 33.

  6. Postpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Kent 49-8 v Lancashire

    Relief for Kent as James Anderson takes a rest after a 10-over spell, which brought him figures of 7-19. Danny Lamb takes over and sends down a maiden to Darren Stevens.

  7. Postpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 0-1

    A maiden from Keith Barker to Rory Burns at the start of Surrey's first innings, then Mark Stoneman goes first ball.

    The left-hander, who has been playing for Yorkshire on loan in the T20 Blast, looks long and hard at the pitch after edging Kyle Abbott to second slip where Joe Weatherley takes an excellent catch.

  8. Postpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Kent 49-8 v Lancashire

    A new James Anderson over - his 10th - and Darren Stevens effortlessly lifts the ball over mid-wicket for four. Three deliveries later and Stevens finds the boundary again with a well-directed deflection to third man.

    He is only the second Kent batsman to reach double figures and is now 18 not out. By the way, Kent's lowest total against Lancashire was 38 all out at Maidstone in 1881, so that's one record that won't be broken today.

    Notts 51-2 v Derbyshire 149

    With so much going on at Old Trafford, we've rather neglected evebnts at Trent Bridge for a while. It's been slow going by Notts, but two runs to Haseeb Hameed, tucked round the corner off Luis Reece, has just taken their total past 50. The opener is 28 not out.

    Northants 170 v Yorks 158 & 24-3

    Is this the return of the Wantage Road turner?

    After Dom Bess' seven-for, Simon Kerrigan, Northants' left-armer, has been brought on after only seven overs.

    He struck immediately to remove Sam Northeast, dramatically released by Hampshire last week, and has a second wicket in his second over.

    Yorkshire already three down and just 12 ahead.

  12. Hampshire finally all outpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey

    No maiden fifty for Brad Wheal, who is lbw to Amar Virdi for what is nevertheless the best score of his career.

    Colin de Grandhomme is left unbeaten on 174, made from 213 balls faced, and including three sixes and 17 fours.

    Brilliant effort by the 34-year-old New Zealander on his Championship debut for the county.

    WICKET Podmore c Vilas b Anderson 3published at 15:18 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    The procession continues at Old Trafford. Anderson now has 7-10.

    His career-best figures are 7-42 and they look like being improved today.

    Harry Podmore's innings lasted 10 balls.

    Warwickshire 135-2 v Durham

    Ben Stokes is back into the attack for Durham - but unlike England team-mate James Anderson, wickets continue to elude him.

    Two singles from the latest an Rob Yates is now 68 not out, with Sam Hain on 27.

    These two have put on 65 since the dismissal of Pieter Malan before lunch.

    Sussex 226 v Glam 111-4

    Things have gone rattling along at Hove this afternoon.

    Glamorgan have made progress close to four-an-over so far but they have now lost four wickets.

    Bill Root, on 37, leading the visitors progress.

  16. Hants pair set record against Surreypublished at 15:13 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 485-9 v Surrey

    And still Surrey's torment continues at the Ageas Bowl.Colin de Grandhomme and Brad Wheal have now added 111 and Wheal is only five short of his first half-century.

    It's a 10th-wicket record for Hampshire against Surrey, beating the 96 shared by Lewis McManus and Wheal in 2016.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Milnes c Vilas b Anderson 1published at 15:09 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Kent 29-7 v Lancashire

    James Anderson collects his sixth wicket as Matt Milnes is caught behind down the leg side.

    Darren Stevens has seen most things in his career, but perhaps not many collapses like this one.

    His response? A boundary off the England paceman before he is beaten by the final delivery of the over.

  18. Postpublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Kent 19-6 v Lancashire

    What else could Anderson achieve today? All 10 in an innings?

    Not going to happen as Danny Lamb has trapped Joe Denly lbw for 12.

    Darren Stevens is the new batsman.

    Kent 19-5 v Lancashire

    James Anderson made his first-class debut in 2002. Now, here we are in 2021 and there is another huge milestone wicket for the Lancashire and England pace bowler.

    Heino Kuhn is the man to go, caught behind for a nine-ball duck - the other four were all taken by the slips. His figures now are 7-5-3-5 and that is the 51st time he has taken five or more wickets in a first-class innings.

    Perhaps worth mentioning here that Wilfred Rhodes took more than 4,000 first-class wickets - but he did play into his 50s, so there's still time for Anderson. (insert smiley emoji here)

  20. wicket

    WICKET Leaning c Jones b Anderson 2published at 14:49 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 17-4

    Are there any cricketing superlatives that have not been used about James Anderson? If you can think of one, do let us know. (#bbcricket)

    We'll simply say that this one was a textbook Anderson dismissal. Jack Leaning pushed forward defensively in the approved manner, but the ball swung away, found the edge and Rob Jones held the catch at second slip.

    Anderson now has 4-3 from six overs - his next wicket will be his 1,000th in first-class cricket.
