It’s been an evenly-fought first session at Derby but the home side look to have built a decent foundation thanks to the opening-day efforts of Brooke Guest, Shan Masood and Wayne Madsen.

No individual batsman has taken control on day two with Mattie McKiernan caught behind off Michael Neser for a single, Anuj Dal edging Michael Hogan to slip for 24 and Leus du Plooy trapped lbw by spinner Andrew Salter for a cautious 24.

Alex Thomson got off the mark with a lofted straight six off Salter while Suranga Lakmal also opened his shoulders with a similar effort dropping just short of the boundary.

Thankfully the temperature has risen from the chilly opening day but Glamorgan still need to finish the innings off quickly to stay in the game.

Sussex have nibbled away at the Durham first innings total adding 73 runs in the session, against tight accurate Durham bowling.

The visitors have been impeded by the loss of Chris Rushworth through a concussion injury, after he was hit whilst batting yesterday.

Matthew Potts has been the pick of the visitors' attack, but on what looks a good batting surface and with Cheteshwar Pujara looking in ominously good form, Sussex will be disappointed if they don’t post a significant first innings total

A good old fashioned morning of ‘muck and bullets’ County Championship cricket with neither side willing to give an inch but Northamptonshire are making the most of a slow and some might say, dead, surface.

Luke Procter’s lunching just one run short of a nuggety, gritty century during which he’s offered just one sharp caught and bowled chance to Simon Harmer when he was on 27.

It is still difficult to analyse exactly where this match might go until Essex have batted but at the moment these are four sessions which will not live long in the memory as far as histrionics go.

Somerset bring up 450published at 13:16 British Summer Time 29 April 2022

13:16 BST 29 April 2022

Somerset 457-9 v Warwickshire

Some lusty hitting from Jack Brooks takes Somerset past 450.

First he launches Danny Briggs over the boundary for a maximum and follows that up by driving him down the ground for four more.

The last-wicket stand with Jack Leach is now worth 40.

Div One:

• Essex v Northants 328-8
• Gloucestershire v Surrey 396-7
• Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 130-7
• Somerset 447-9 v Warwickshire - still in play
• Yorkshire 23-2 v Kent 291

Div Two:

• Derbyshire 360-8 v Glamorgan
• Middlesex 248-5 v Leicestershire 149
• Notts 266 v Worcestershire 159 & 37-4
• Sussex 155-3 v Durham 223

All games are at lunch now, apart from the match at Taunton.

Time for a look at the scores and what the radio commentators have made of things...

I mentioned how good Jack Leach is... Jack Brooks isn't a bad man to have coming in at 11 either.

He sweeps Danny Briggs for six and then cuts the spinner away to the rope for four more.

They'll carry on until Warwickshire can break this last-wicket stand.

They'll take lunch at 13:10 BST to make up for time lost yesterday.

Can Kent sneak another wicket?

Is Jack Leach the best number 10 or 11 in the game for sticking around and annoying bowlers?

The Somerset and England man has grinded his way to 28 not out.

We'll do a vote.

Thumbs up if you think he's the best 10 or 11 around. Thumbs down for no.

Simon Harmer has twirled away for 31 overs without a wicket. Luke Procter has been out there for 248 deliveries as he moves to within three of a century.

I wonder what those children in the crowd have made of this somewhat meandering morning of county cricket.

Very different to the zoo or definitely a visit to a soft play centre! I hope they've brought some great sandwiches!!

Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 111-7

Another chance goes down, and it's Joe Weatherley at third slip again.

This time, it's Phil Salt who is reprieved and Mohammad Abbas the unlucky bowler.

Hampshire 246 v Lancashire 109-7

Almost a second wicket in the over for Fuller.

Tom Bailey edges it and it goes quickly to Joe Weatherley, but the third slip man can't hang on and it ends up going for four.

The first thing Hampshire have got wrong in this session.

Tight start from Kent bowlers Grant Stewart and Matt Milnes, with 10 maidens from the opening 12 overs of Yorkshire’s first innings.

Earlier Nathan Gilchrist was bowled for 0 by a toe-cruncher of a yorker by Haris Rauf. That’s his fifth duck in five Championship innings, which I’m told equals a record set by former Kent wicketkeeper Isaac Ingram in 1878.

Rauf looked a bit too quick for Kent’s lower order in collecting his five-wicket bag. The visitors will though be disappointed to miss a third batting bonus point.

Essex v Northants 300-8

Excellent resistance this morning from Northants as a single from Gareth Berg brings up the 300.

That's also a 50 partnership for him and Luke Procter with number ten Berg an impressive 32 not out.
