    Gregory c Dawson b Fuller 5 (Somerset 112-6 v Hampshire)

    Hampshire continue their march through the Somerset batting.

    James Fuller gets in on the act this time, as Lewis Gregory sends a regulation catch to Liam Dawson at slip and he gets his third catch of the innings.

  2. Leicestershire all outpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Worcs v Leics 148

    Leicestershire's first innings has come to an end at New Road with skipper Callum Parkinson caught off Ed Barnard for 22.

    He put on exactly 50 with number 11 Chris Wright - the biggest stand of the innings - and less than two sessions into the game, they are in dire straits.

    Barnard finishes with 3-45 and an early tea is being taken during the innings break.

  3. wicket

    Browne c Vilas b Anderson 71 (Lancashire v Essex 136-3)

    What a catch/stop by Lancashire skipper Dane Vilas!

    He positioned himself about three paces from the bat at silly mid-off and when Nick Browne goes back to Jimmy Anderson, the batter fires it into Vilas and the ball sticks.

    No wonder Browne can't believe it. He has played so nicely for his 71, but a piece of inspiration or luck depending on your viewpoint, has ended his stay.

  4. wicket

    Rhodes c Brook b Loten 29 (Yorkshire v Warwicks 137-6)

    "Sooner or later one of these (dropped catches) is going to cost them" we said in the previous entry.

    But just like Rob Yates and Sam Hain before him, Will Rhodes fails to make the most of a let-off as he gives Harry Brook catching practice at cover.

    It's a wicket maiden for Tom Loten, who has 1-9 from four overs so far, and a second bowling point for Yorkshire.

  5. dropped catch

    Lyth drops slip chancepublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Yorkshire v Warwicks 137-5

    Will Rhodes edges Tom Loten and Adam Lyth floors the chance.

    That's three catches put down by Yorkshire today - two of them by Lyth - and sooner or later one of these is going to cost them.

    Yorkshire v Warwicks 135-5

    Michael Burgess has made a confident start to his innings at Headingley and steers George Hill through the covers for his third boundary.

    Time for spin as Yorkshire call up Dom Bess.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Stokes c Roland-Jones b Hollman 15 (Middlesex v Durham 146-4)

    And the England captain falls to 21-year-old leg spinner Luke Hollman.

    Ben Stokes tries to hit Hollman into the Lord's pavilion but he picks out Toby Roland-Jones, who has been stationed about three quarters of the way back at mid-on.

    It was bright and breezy off 18 balls, but Stokes has to go.

    A nice feather in the cap for Hollman in his tenth first class game.

    For the seventh time this season, Kent opener Ben Compton reaches 50. He turns Rob Keogh round the corner for a single to post his half-century, this one taking him 131 balls.

    Compton's scores this season: 129, 104 not out, 115, 27, 89, 3, 93, 47, 63 not out - and now this.

    Daniel Bell-Drummond is 27 not out at the other end.

    Worcestershire are being held up by Leicestershire's final-wicket pair at New Road. Callum Parkinson and Chris Wright have so far put on 32 and their team are 130-9.

    Leus du Plooy is now 44 not out in Derbyshire's 147-4 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. Stuart Broad has now been taken off after bowling Brooke Guest, the home side's sole success since lunch..

    The fall of Durham captain Scott Borthwick has brought England captain Ben Stokes to the crease.

    Let's see how he gets on at HQ.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Lamb c Root b Revis 45 (Yorkshire v Warwicks 117-5)

    Matt Lamb goes for a big drive without moving his front foot to the pitch of the ball and Joe Root takes a comfortable catch at first slip - his second of the innings.

    Lamb his six fours in his 74-ball innings - and put on 74 for the fifth wicket with Will Rhodes, who has now been joined by Michael Burgess.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:49 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Banton lbw b Abbott 24 (Somerset 94-5 v Hampshire)

    Tom Banton has fought for nearly two hours and faced 77 balls, but he's been undone by Kyle Abbott.

    A bit too quick to force through the onside and Banton is out, hitting middle and leg.

    Somerset in trouble after deciding to bat.

    Yorkshire v Warwicks 109-4

    Will Rhodes is squared up by a fine delivery from George Hill, but a thick edge flies past second slip and brings him four runs. Rhodes is now on 24.

  14. Bears pair post 50 standpublished at 14:37 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Yorkshire v Warwicks 99-4

    A couple of boundaries in the latest Matthew Revis over for Matt Lamb as he and Will Rhodes post a 50 partnership for Warwickshire.

    They've had to work hard for this but Lamb is now 39 not out and Rhodes has 15.

    Dan Lawrence batting for England in the West Indies

    A combination of injury, lack of runs and the sheer weight of runs from Yorkshire's Harry Brook mean that Dan Lawrence is the fall guy in the England batting from the team that lost to the West Indies in Grenada.

    Lawrence has not played since the end of April due to a hamstring injury, but he had managed only 98 runs in five innings for Essex before that.

    He has played 11 Tests and has made four fifties, but at 24, he has plenty of time to regain his spot if he can make a stack of runs at county level.

  16. Division Two round-uppublished at 14:31 British Summer Time 19 May 2022

    Loan signing Matthew Waite has taken his first wickets for Worcestershire, having Harry Swindells caught off the splice for 23 and bowling Ben Mike for 16. Leicestershire are now 98-8, with skipper Callum Parkinson new to the crease.

    No further breakthrough for Middlesex since the wicket of Michael Jones, and Durham are now 100-2, with Keegan Petersen 15 not out and Scott Borthwick on two.

    Northants 114-1 v Kent

    They used to call Rahul Dravid the wall - but this season Kent opener Ben Compton has put up the kind of barrier which very few people bar the Emperor Hadrian could match.

    He has added only seven runs to his 30 not out at lunch, but a boundary down the ground off Matt Kelly by by Daniel Bell-Drummond has moved him into double figures.

    Yorkshire v Warwickshire 88-4

    Unlucky. Matt Lamb wafts unconvincingly at the opening delivery of a new Steve Patterson over and an inside edge brings him four fortunate runs to long leg. Patterson stands with hands on hips as a no doubt delicate series of words form in his mind.

  19. wicket

    Westley c Salt b Parkinson 30 (Lancashire v Essex 102-2)

    Tom Westley really has thrown his wicket away for Essex.

    He tries a big shot against the spin off Matt Parkinson, but ends up ballooning it up in the air for Phil Salt to take a catch that I would challenge anyone to drop.

    Overlooked by England, but in only his third over and Parkinson is already in the wickets.

    Somerset 80-4 v Hamphire

    Keith Barker and Mohammad Abbas have a combined age of 67 and it's that mix of skill, experience and know-how which is keeping Somerset under the pump.

    It's 2-18 from 13 overs for Abbas and Barker's 15 overs have yielded just 20 runs.
