    for Malanpublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Yorkshire 118-3 v Kent 291

    Dawid Malan has shown all his experience at Headingley as he brings up his half-century, although he might have had a little luck along the way.

    The former England batsman has got there in good time too, off 65 balls, with eight fours.

    His stand with Harry Brook is worth 98, and Yorkshire have turned things around since lunch.

  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Hassan Ali (Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 240)

    Hassan Ali goes for a big heave to bring the scores level but he sends Keith Barker's low full toss to Liam Dawson at long on.

    Barker ends with 5-67 so a great effort from him.

    Lancashire end six adrift of Hampshire's first innings, so we are in for a cracker of a game here.

  3. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Westley c Young b Taylor 25 (Essex 45-2 v Northants 390)

    A wicket right on the stroke of tea for Northants!

    Tom Westley nibbles at one from Tom Taylor that threatens to shape away and the edge travels into Will Young's hands at second slip - his second of the innings.

    Tough going here for Essex.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Lamb c Renshaw b Gregory 4 (Somerset 458 v Warwickshire 70-5)

    Matt Lamb prods forward at a full ball from Lewis Gregory and nicks him to Matt Renshaw at second slip.

    The Bears are in strife and still trail by 388. Is this the game that kickstarts Somerset's season after three straight losses?

  5. Record breakingpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Gloucestershire v Surrey 574-7

    This stand between Jamie Smith and Jordan Clark is now a Surrey-best for the eighth wicket.

    Now at 225, it beats the previous best of 222 from Ben Foakes and Gareth Batty in 2016.

  6. Postpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Yorkshire 100-3 v Kent 291

    Dawid Malan hits a sweet cover drive off Matt Quinn to the boundary and that's Yorkshire's hundred up.

    Batting is beginning to look much easier in the Headingley sunshine.

    Malan has 40 and Harry Brook is on 39.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Salt b Barker 55 (Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 225-9)

    Hassan Ali helps Keith Barker over the short midwicket boundary for six, but when Phil Salt tries a big shot later in the over, his leg stump is uprooted.

    Still, a more than valuable knock from the wicketkeeper.

    A fourth wicket of the innings for Barker.

  8. 100 runs

    for Clarkpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Gloucestershire v Surrey 549-7

    A third centurion of the Surrey innings and this time it's Jordan Clark.

    The number nine reaches the second first-class ton of his career off 151 balls and he has added over 200 with Jamie Smith.

  9. Postpublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Yorkshire 83-3 v Kent 291

    Boundaries are beginning to flow for Yorkshire pair Dawid Malan and Harry Brook after the difficulties the batters faced either side of lunch.

    Brook drives Matt Quinn to the rope to bring up the pair's fifty stand.

  10. 50 runs

    for Saltpublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 216-8

    Wallop, have some of that!

    Phil Salt reaches the landmark as he hits Ian Holland back over his head four four. It has come off 68 balls with five fours.

    His second half century since his move from Sussex but a much more valuable knock in the context of the two games for the Red Rose.

  11. 200 runs

    for Smithpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Gloucestershire v Surrey 500-7

    Take a bow Jamie Smith!

    He laces one through the covers off Miles Hammond to bring up his double century.

    It has taken 400 balls and included 30 fours and the 21-year-old has batted superbly, especially as he came in at 37-3.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Rhodes c Lammonby b Gregory 5 (Somerset 458 v Warwickshire 64-4)

    That's such a strange shot.

    Will Rhodes simply scoops Lewis Gregory into the air and it's caught at mid-on by Tom Lammonby.

    Bears minds are scrambled at the moment.

  13. 500 for Surreypublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Gloucestershire v Surrey 500-7

    A leg bye brings Surrey to their latest landmark, while the eighth wicket partnership between Jamie Smith and Jordan Clark is now worth 151.

    It's now a question of when the visitors may want to declare.

  14. Division Two updatepublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Stuart Broad wicketImage source, Rex Features

    Worcestershire were fighting back at Trent Bridge but they've just lost Jack Haynes for 49. Stuart Broad with his second wicket. The Pears are 99-5 in their second innings and still trail by eight runs.

    Glamorgan are 35-0 in reply to Derbyshire's 368, while at Lord's Middlesex are 308-5 and lead Leicestershire by 159. John Simpson has an unbeaten half-century to his name.

    Sussex continue to dominate Durham at Hove. They're 217-4 and closing in on Durham's first-innings 223. Cheteshwar Pujara is unbeaten on 42.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Bailey c Dawson b Abbas 59 (Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 199-8)

    The pendulum swings again at the Rose Bowl.

    Tom Bailey is tempted into one outside off stump and steers it to Liam Dawson at second slip for a fine 59.

    The partnership with Phil Salt ends at 94 and Hampshire will fancy a first innings lead, although substantially less than it could have been at 105-7.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Yates c Overton b Davey 9 (Somerset 458 v Warwickshire 51-3)

    Somerset are in complete control now.

    Rob Yates get an inside edge onto his pad as Josh Davey comes around the wicket and the ball loops to Craig Overton.

    Davey has 2-4.

  18. Play to restart at 14:55 BSTpublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Yorkshire 39-3 v Kent 291

    They'll resume in five minutes at Headingley after that medical emergency in the crowd.

    As soon as we get any update on the supporter who was taken ill, we'll bring it to you.

    Our best wishes go to them.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:49 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Browne c Young b Sanderson 12 (Essex 12-1 v Northants 390)

    First man down for Essex.

    Nick Browne darts at one he really doesn't need to play off Ben Sanderson from round the wicket - wide of his body - and it's a comfortable catch at second slip for Will Young.

    Great start for Northants.

  20. 50 runs

    for Baileypublished at 14:42 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Hampshire v Lancashire 189-7

    Tom Bailey slashes it backward of square off Mohammad Abbas for four to bring up a battling 50.

    His partnership with Phil Salt is now worth 84 and Bailey is showing his worth as a quality county performer.
