    Ah, September, the time of year when members of Green Day* - and maybe some of their fans too - hibernate for a month.

    It may be the start of meteorological autumn, but the county cricket season flows on undaunted in the hope of mild days to come.

    The eight matches that began on Monday are continuing, though there could be three-day finishes at Cardiff and Leicester today.

    Welcome to our coverage. Play starts at 11:00 BST
