  1. 150 runs

    for Colin de Grandhommepublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 453-9 v Surrey

    Tremendous. Will Jacks floats one up wide of off stump and Colin de Grandhomme powers it over extra cover to reach 150 from 192 balls. It's the third six of his innings and this is now a first-class career-best score by the New Zealander.

  2. Somerset declarepublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Somerset 461-9d v Leics 1-0

    A great start, a great end and a big collapse in the middle.

    It all adds up to a commanding total for Somerset and plenty for their attack to bowl at.

    Marchant de Lange's fun ended at 75 with Josh Davey unbeaten also 75.

    Eight, Nine and 10 all making 70s.

    You're never through Somerset.

  3. 50 runs

    for Miles Hammondpublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Glos 122-2 v Middlesex

    Gloucestershire trying to settle again after another early wicket went down in the session.

    Miles Hammond, who did very well when coming into the side for Kraig Brathwaite last month, goes to a half-century.

  4. 50 runs

    for Rob Yatespublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Warwickshire 110-2 v Durham

    Rob Yates reached 50 from 131 balls with a four through the covers off Ben Raine. He already has two Championship hundreds this season - will there be a third for him today?

  5. Northants all outpublished at 14:37 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Northants 170 v Yorks 158

    Dom Bess has finished Northants off and claims 7-43 - a career-best.

    It's kept Yorkshire right in the game because the deficit is only 12.

    The hosts were well placed at 88-2 but apart from the openers, only one batsman made more than 11.

  6. Postpublished at 14:37 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 15-3

    Kent have survived a James Anderson over without losing a wicket and it contained a single for Joe Denly. Anderson's figures are now 4-3-1-3.

  7. Postpublished at 14:35 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 430-9 v Surrey

    Hampshire are still batting at the Ageas Bowl following a late lunch. Four from the last over, bowled by Rikki Clarke and Colin de Grandhomme is now 143 not out, with Brad Wheal on 23. They have so far added 56 for the last wicket.

  8. Two in two for FHPpublished at 14:30 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 25-2 v Derbyshire 149

    Fynn Hudson-PrenticeImage source, Rex Features

    A double breakthrough for Derbyshire at Trent Bridge as Ben Slater pulls a ball from Fynn Hudson-Prentice but is caught at mid-on for seven and Ben Compton follows first ball, caught at third slip.

    FHP is on a hat-trick - but Steven Mullaney survives the next delivery.

  9. Postpublished at 14:28 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Warwickshire 104-2 v Durham

    Rob Yates nudges Brydon Carse behind square for an easy single and Warwickshire's total reaches 100. Another at the end of the over takes the left-hander to 46 not out.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Robinson c Vilas b Anderson 0published at 14:22 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 5-3

    There can't be many batsmen who would relish taking on James Anderson in these conditions. There goes another as Ollie Robinson edges to the keeper. Joe Denly is joined by Jack Leaning for Kent.

  12. Postpublished at 14:22 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 20-0 v Derbyshire 149

    Haseeb Hameed is batting with some fluency at the start of the Notts innings. He punches Fynn Hudson-Prentice away square of the wicket for four - a shot which was very productive for Geoffrey Boycott during his illustrious career - and is 16 not out.

  13. Six-wicket haul for Dom Besspublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Northants 154-8 v Yorks 158

    Dom Bess has single-handedly kept Yorkshire in the game at Wantage Road.

    He's added another quickfire brace of wickets to his two this morning and now has a six-for.

    If the hosts do squeeze into the lead it'll probably only be a marginal one now.

  14. Postpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Somerset 445-8 v Leics

    Marchant de Lange is causing some mayhem at Taunton.

    He's got recent history in merry slugging - taking Northants for a maiden first-class hundred last season.

    Six sixes so far at Taunton, the sixth time he's passed fifty in his first-class career, and he's whacking the Foxes out of the game.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Cox c Wells b Anderson 1published at 14:10 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 1-2

    It's that man again.

    No, not the 1940s radio comedy show - James Anderson taking another Kent wicket.

    The one that dismissed Zak Crawley was a good delivery, but this one - to Jordan Cox - is even better and Luke Wells takes it chest-high at first slip.

  16. Postpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 6-0 v Derbyshire 149

    Overpitched by Michael Cohen and the left-armer's natural angle makes it easy for Haseeb Hameed to stroke the ball through the covers for the first boundary of the Notts innings.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Crawley c Jones b Anderson 0published at 14:03 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 0-1

    Finally, there is action at Old Trafford and it's a wicket maiden by James Anderson who removes England team-mate Zak Crawley with the final delivery of his opening over.

    It was a beauty which left him and Rob Jones took an excellent catch low to his right. What a start!

  18. wicket

    WICKET Bracey c Simpson b Cullen 38published at 14:00 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Gloucestershire 87-2 v Middlesex

    A big wicket for Middlesex. The ball from Blake Cullen is angled across James Bracey and the England wicketkeeper edges through to John Simpson as he tries to force it away off the back foot. A pretty loose stroke which he rehearses before walking off.

  19. Postpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Warwickshire 95-2 v Durham

    They are back out at Edgbaston. Ben Raine opens up for Durham and the over yields just a couple of singles. Rob Yates is 44 not out and Sam Hain has 14.
