Not too sunny in Southamptonpublished at 11:21 British Summer Time 1 May 2022
Hampshire 246 & 344, Lancashire 240 & 9-0
No play so far in the Hampshire-Lancashire game in Southampton.
No immediate prospects either, but the weather forecast does not look too clever.
A shame as the game looked very interestingly poised, with the visitors having been set 351 to win.

Leaning c Duke b Patterson 36 (Yorkshire 571 v Kent 291 & 126-3)
Yorkshire get the early wicket they needed!
Jack Leaning attempts to leave a ball outside off stump from former team-mate Steven Patterson but gets an under-edge through to the keeper.
Kent still need another 154 runs to avoid an innings defeat, but bowling conditions are ripe this morning.

Northants 390 v Essex 193 & 154-3
They're off and running for the day at Chelmsford as an edged four through the slips in the second over for Paul Walter brings up the Essex 150 - and reopens the perennial debate about any cricket team taking the field with no third man.
Walter moves on to 44, while Matt Critchley then takes a single to move on to 45.

Yorkshire 571 v Kent 291 & 119-2
Ben Compton (67*) and Jack Leaning (32*) get things going for Kent at an overcast Headingley.
They're still 161 in arrears, so a bit effort needed this morning.

Play at four matches getting under way then.
Delays at Bristol and the Ageas Bowl. Prospects do look bleak down there I have to say.
Let's go...
Postpublished at 10:57 British Summer Time 1 May 2022
So, looks like we've got delayed starts in Bristol and at the Ageas Bowl. Hove might be next in line.
But further north it appears to be a bit drier so hopefully we'll get some good chunks of play in at Chelmsford, Headingley and Derby.
