  1. Masood misses out on ton

    Middlesex 401 v Derbyshire 143-3

    Sam Dalling
    BBC Radio London at Lord's

    Well, that’s a turn-up for the books. Shan Masood looked in little trouble in making his way serenely to 91. But with a century - and a big one at that - there for the taking, came a rush of blood to the head.

    Josh de Caires has been brought into the attack, largely to give the seamers a rest. But Masood and Wayne Madsen (20 not out) clearly decided to get after the part-time off-spinner.

    It worked for a little bit before Masood danced past one and was stumped by John Simpson.

    Credit to the bowler though – he saw his man coming and darted a slightly wider one. Huge wicket for Middlesex. Like, really big.

    WICKET

    Sibley b Topley 0 (Warwickshire 0-1 v Surrey 428-8 dec)

    Oh Lawks! Dom Sibley has gone first ball.

    The England opener pushes forward to a widish delivery from left-armer Reece Topley, a ball he did not have to play at - and the ball cannons back to remove his leg bail. Ouch!

    A particularly painful way to go against his native county. Topley celebrates like he has just won the World Cup.

    Skipper Will Rhodes comes in to join Rob Yates.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Barker run out 18 (Hampshire 428 v Somerset 180)

    Hampshire's first innings all over as Keith Barker is run out trying to scamper back for a quick two.

    The throw from the third man boundary almost looked like a direct hit.

    Hampshire with a lead of 248 and five overs to bowl at Somerset before the close.

  4. Surrey declare at Edgbaston

    Surrey 428-8 dec v Warwickshire

    Surrey declare in Birmingham, with Ben Foakes on 132, just nine short of his first-class best score.

    But the team needs are more important - and that gives 12 overs for Dom Sibley and Rob Yates to face before the close of play.

    A big test this for Sibley, who, by all reports, has done a lot of good work this winter since losing his England place.

    Olly Hannon-Dalby (4-78) and Danny Briggs (3-84 from 39 overs) were the Bears' main two performers with the ball.

    It might have been even better for OHD, who twice had Foakes had dropped in the slips, by Yates and skipper Will Rhodes, and misses out on a 'five-fer',

  5. 100 runs

    100 for Rob Keogh

    Northants 245-7, Gloucestershire 223

    Rob Keogh reaches his century with an all-run four.

    154 balls. 13 boundaries. His 12th first-class century.

    His stand with Gareth Berg has now reached 116.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Abbott b Green 0 (Hampshire 418-9 v Somerset 180)

    Kyle Abbott is bowled first ball and his stumps rearranged comprehensively.

    Ben Green now has 3-22.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Fuller c Davies b Siddle 17 (Hampshire 411-8 v Somerset)

    Three boundaries in quick succession from James Fuller and then out.

    Peter Siddle gets one to find his outside edge and Hampshire are eight down.

  8. 400 up for Hampshire

    Hampshire 403-7 v Somerset 180

    James Fuller hits back-to-back boundaries to take Hampshire past 400.

    Their lead is also now at a very imposing 223.

  9. Surrey reach 400

    Surrey 404-8 v Warwickshire

    Surrey go past 400 - and it is also the fifty stand between Ben Foakes and James Taylor.

    Foakes has now moved on to 122, with Taylor strumming along nicely on 17.

    As the original James Taylor once sang: "All you have to do is call and I'll be there, You've got a friend".

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Gareth Berg

    Northants 229-7 v Gloucestershire 223

    Gareth Berg goes to 50, off 88 balls.

    It's also a 100-run stand between Berg and Rob Keogh, who is still there on 86.

    A six-run lead now, still with three wickets in hand.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Organ b Green 21 (Hampshire 394-7 v Somerset 180)

    Ben Green collects his second wicket of the day as he knocks back Felix Organ's off stump.

    Organ tried to work it into the legside but slightly misread the line of it.

  12. Northants take the lead

    Northants 226-7 Gloucestershire 223

    Determined effort from Northamptonshire to take the lead against Gloucestershire.

    It did not look too likely earlier at 129-7. But it only takes two to tango.

    Just as James Bracey benefited from the prolonged company of Naseem Shah earlier for the visitors, Rob Keogh has also had a willing partner in Gareth Berg.

    Keogh is on 86, Berg is on 48.

  13. Kent continuing to accumulate

    Essex 514 v Kent 59-1

    Ben ComptonRex Features

    Daniel Bell-Drummond may have departed but Ben Compton (27 not out) is showing some promise in his first Kent innings.

    Tawanda Muyeye (12 not out) is also looking to make hay in the lengthening evening shadows.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Brown c Aldridge b Green 18 (Hampshire 385-6 v Somerset)

    AldridgeGetty Images

    Somerset pick up a sixth Hampshire wicket but just an over too late for them to collect another bowling bonus point.

    Ben Brown is caught at mid-wicket by Kasey Aldridge off the bowling of Ben Green as he tries to steer a short ball away.

  15. 100 runs

    100 for Ben Foakes

    Surrey 372-8 Warwickshire

    England Test wicketkeeper Ben Foakes duly completes his century with a waft for four through midwicket.

    Bears stat guru Brian Halford informs the assembled gathering in the pressbox that it is his 800th boundary in first-class cricket - a stat unlikely to be bettered today

    Ben FoakesPA Media

    It is his first century since he hit 139 at Bristol in the first Championship game of last season - almost a exactly a year ago.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Bell-Drummond lbw b S Cook 11 (Essex 514 v Kent 36-1)

    CookRex Features

    Essex get their first breakthrough of the Kent reply.

    Sam Cook pins Daniel Bell-Drummond back in his crease with a ball that straightens and takes his front pad.

    Kent had made a decent start but Essex will be pleased to have got one relatively early.

  17. Hampshire pushing towards 400

    Hampshire 377-5 v Somerset 180

    Hampshire's lead nudging towards 200 now as Ben Brown (15 not out) and Felix Organ (12 not out) pick up the run-scoring baton after James Vince's earlier departure.

    A fifth batting bonus point might just be beyond the hosts though with the cut off in less than three overs.

  18. 50 runs

    50 stand for Keogh and Berg

    Northants 188-7 v Gloucestershire 223

    Northamptonshire move to within 35 of Gloucestershire's first-innings score as the eighth-wicket and between Rob Keogh and Gareth Berg goes past 50.

    Keogh has moved on to 67, with Berg now on 28.

  19. Kent try to make steady start

    Essex 514 v Kent 18-0

    Three overs of Kent's reply at Chelmsford and Ben Compton has all 18 of their runs so far.

    He gets two boundaries off Jamie Porter in the space of three balls as Daniel Bell-Drummond watches on from the other end yet to score.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Vince lbw b De Lange 56 (Hampshire 353-5 v Somerset 180)

    James Vince cut off in his prime as Marchant de Lange traps him leg before.

    Vince tried to work the ball into the legside from a fullish ball but gets struck low on the pad by one that straightened.
