    Jordan Clark cracks a Mohammad Amir delivery to the boundary to bring up an excellent half century.

    Davies c Overton b Brooks 20 (Somerset 458 v Warwickshire 25-1)

    Berg c Westley b Critchley 75 (Essex v Northants 390 all out)

    Northants' innings is finally over.

    Some last wicket fun between Gareth Berg and Ben Sanderson brings 35 amid some lusty blows but when Berg tries one more, he is caught in the deep.

    Still, a terrific contribution coming in at number ten, as the visitors post an excellent total.

    Yorkshire 39-3 v Kent 291

    Kent's pacemen are causing Yorkshire all sorts of problems.

    Dawid Malan edges Grant Stewart past first slip and down to the rope.

    The visitors are well on top at Headingley.

  8. Unwanted 1,000 for Glospublished at 14:20 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Gloucestershire v Surrey 445-7

    Surrey really do bat a long way down.

    Jordan Clark, coming in at number nine, has reached 46 as he and Jamie Smith have put on 96 for the eighth wicket.

    But alas for Gloucestershire, they have now shipped 1,001 runs in their last two bowling innings for just 14 wickets.

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

    Jack Haynes and Ed Barnard are battling for Worcestershire at Notts, but they're still in all sorts of bother at 57-4 in their second innings. The Pears still trail by 50.

    Glamorgan have finally bowled out Derbyshire for 368, but that's a good comeback after the hosts were 276-2 yesterday.

    Middlesex's batters continue to enjoy themselves at Lord's. They're 287-5, Mark Stoneman top scoring with 108, and leading Leicestershire by 138.

    Sussex batter Tom Alsop has just gone to his half-century with his side in a good position on 180-3 against Durham. They trail by just 43.

  10. Postpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 155-7

    Lancashire are fighting hard at the Rose Bowl where Phil Salt and Tom Bailey have reached a 50 partnership for the eighth wicket.

    Joe Weatherley's two drops are starting to count. He has now been removed from his third slip station.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:06 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Procter c Walter b Critchley 113 (Essex v Northants 355-9)

    Finally, Luke Procter has to go.

    He comes down the wicket to Matt Critchley's leg spin and hits it straight to the tall figure of Paul Walter at mid-wicket.

    A fine, nuggety, knock from the Northants man off 270 balls with 10 fours, coming in at 100-2 and leading his side to a very competitive score.

  12. Postpublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Somerset 458 v Warwickshire 1-0

    Alex Davies and Dom Sibley are in the middle for Warwickshire after lunch.

    A mammoth batting effort needed from the Bears to get close to Somerset, but the pitch is good.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:56 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Lyth c Robinson b Milnes 7 (Yorkshire 23-3 v Kent 291)

    Gone! First ball after lunch.

    Matt Milnes strikes as Adam Lyth edges one down legside to Ollie Robinson. A complete strangle.

    After battling so hard to make it to the interval, that will really irritate the opener as he trudges back to the pavilion.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Bergpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Essex v Northants 344-8

    An excellent contribution from Northants' number ten.

    Gareth Berg has provided a lot more than just hanging around to help Luke Procter, as he brings up his half century from 107 deliveries.

  15. 150 runs

    150 for Smithpublished at 13:52 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Gloucestershire v Surrey 408-7

    Jamie Smith sends a half volley from David Payne through mid-wicket to bring up his 150.

    It also brings up his team's 400 as they continue to set an imposing first innings total.

    Smith has now hit 25 boundaries in his score - most of them shots which have been very easy on the eye.

  16. Procter benefits from move up orderpublished at 13:50 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Essex v Northants 336-8

    Glenn Speller
    BBC Essex sport at Chelmsford

    Great work from Luke Procter. A gritty century from 256 balls.

    He is batting higher in the batting order than in previous games this season and has proved full value for that move.

    He looks like a man others can play around but can also take the leading role when required.

  17. 100 runs

    100 for Procterpublished at 13:46 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Essex v Northants 336-8

    There it is!

    Luke Procter turns one behind square for a couple and he claims a deserved hundred.

    He wasn't bothered by going to lunch on 99 as he reaches his fifth first-class century off 256 balls.

  18. Postpublished at 13:42 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Away we go after lunch. Hope everyone is feeling refreshed and ready for a couple of hours of cricket.

    Commentators are discussing their various lunches. Mine was a nice plate of Spanish grains - a mix of things with rice. Yum!

  19. Mini-collapse costs Somerset maximum batting pointspublished at 13:39 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    Somerset 458 v Warwickshire

    Honours even in an extended morning session, with Somerset suffering a mini-collapse which cost them a fifth batting point, but then frustrating Warwickshire and denying them a third bowling point, as the last two wickets added 85.

    As so often, it was a run-out that triggered the collapse, Craig Miles scoring a direct hit to see off Steven Davies.

    Then Tom Banton was bowled by Miles without playing a shot, before Craig Overton and Lewis Gregory both lost their middle stumps, so that three wickets fell on 373.

    But Josh Davey, Jack Leach and Jack Brooks showed spirit, determination and no little skill in taking Somerset to a total which they would most definitely have settled for when put in yesterday morning.

  20. Broad helps Notts into dominant positionpublished at 13:37 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

    After a morning session of total Nottinghamshire domination at Trent Bridge, Worcestershire stand on the brink of a huge defeat unless they can find some middle and lower order resistance.

    With Stuart Broad swashbuckling his way to 45 not out from only 27 balls, the home side extended their first innings advantage to 107 before knocking over four cheap wickets before the break.
