    That's all of the games done for day one.

    Time for a look at the close of play scores...

    So, just into the final couple of overs of Durham against Worcestershire then where Rachin Ravindra's dream debut continues.

    He's 177 not out with Durham on 373-3.

  5. Close of play at Canterburypublished at 18:46 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Kent v Gloucs 388-7

    Gloucestershire are in control at Canterbury, having recovered from an early triple strike by Matt Milnes that left them wobbling at 46-3.

    Glenn Phillips led the fightback with his 125, well supported by Miles Hammond (66) and Ollie Price - who marked his 21st birthday with a career-best 48 not out.

    He and Zafar Gohar (24 not out) will resume tomorrow with the visitors well-placed on 388-7.

  6. Close of play at Tauntonpublished at 18:37 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Somerset 180 v Surrey 56-1

    Surrey will feel pretty satisfied with the way day one has gone - having lost the toss, they bowled Somerset out for 180 and trail by just 124. Rory Burns is 35 not out and Hashim Amla unbeaten on 19.

    It could have been a lot worse for the home side had the tail not wagged after they slumped to 94-8. Dan Worrall, Jamie Overton and Gus Atkinson claimed three wickets apiece.

    Craig Overton (29) and Josh Davey (retired hurt for 25) were both struck on the helmet by bouncers from Craig's brother, with the latter replaced by concussion sub Kasey Aldridge.

    Somerset 180 v Surrey 52-1

    That could be costly for Somerset! Hashim Amla edges Kasey Aldridge to second slip - where Craig Overton shells the chance.

    It's been a mixed day for Overton, you'd have to say. Four overs left at Taunton, but Surrey will be more than happy if they can reach stumps only one down.

  8. Close of play at The Ageas Bowlpublished at 18:22 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Hants v Yorkshire 324-5

    That's stumps in Southampton.

    It's been Yorkshire's day, led by George Hill's 131. Harry Brook also continued his magnificent form with 76.

  9. wicket

    Hain c Jones b Balderson 130 (Warwickshire 292 all out v Lancashire)

    Sam Hain is last man to go for a brilliant 130 and Warwickshire are all out for 292.

    Hain tries to guide George Balderson down to third man but gets an edge and a diving Rob Jones clings on at slip.

    And that'll be stumps on day one.

  10. wicket

    Norwell b Lamb 10 (Warwickshire 292-9 v Lancashire)

    Warwickshire are nine down.

    Danny Lamb grabs his third wicket as Liam Norwell is bowled.

  11. wicket

    Duke b Holland 27 (Hampshire v Yorkshire 314-5)

    Ian Holland, who took the first wicket of the day, has returned to pick up another for Hampshire.

    Harry Duke is bowled after a knock of 27 from just 28 balls and Dom Bess emerges to try and see out these last few overs.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 18:03 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    T Price c Leaning b Duffy 39 (Kent v Gloucs 350-7)

    Jacob Duffy has his second wicket - and Kent badly needed that after the Price brothers put together a lively partnership of 62.

    Tom Price is the batter who departs, swinging Duffy high into the hands of mid-on.

    Brother Ollie - who's celebrating his 21st birthday today - remains at the wicket and he's joined by Zafar Gohar.

    Somerset 180 v Surrey 29-1

    It's been slow progress for County Championship leaders Surrey during this evening session.

    Rory Burns and Hashim Amla are going along at just under two an over - but, having bowled Somerset out for 180, they can afford to take their time.

    Still 11 overs remaining at Taunton tonight.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Brookes c Jones b Williams 7 (Warwickshire 270-8 v Lancashire)

    Will Williams picks up his second wicket on debut.

    Henry Brookes edges the paceman to slip where Rob Jones clings on.

    Warwickshire number 10 Liam Norwell joins Sam Hain in the middle with eight overs to go tonight at Edgbaston.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:40 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Hill b Abbott 131 (Hants v Yorkshire 280-4)

    George Hill's superb innings comes to an end.

    The Yorkshire opener pushes forward at a full one from Kyle Abbott and is bowled.

    That's a big boost for Hampshire late in the day.

  16. Division Two updatepublished at 17:40 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Colin AckermannImage source, Rex Features

    Division Two leaders Middlesex are all out for 251 at Chesterfield against Derbyshire. Toby Pettman returned impressive figures of 3-40.

    Leicestershire batter Colin Ackermann has just gone to his century against Notts. The Foxes are 307-6.

    Rachin Ravindra continues to dominate on his Durham debut. The Kiwi is 163 not out in their 337-3 against Worcestershire.

    And Sussex's Oli Carter is 98 not out against Glamorgan. Sussex are 212-7.

  17. Postpublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Hants v Yorkshire 276-3

    The boundaries are really flowing late in the day.

    George Hill flicks Kyle Abbott, aerially, through mid-wicket and then guides the Hampshire paceman down to third-man for another four.

    Hill is up to 131 with 21 fours and two sixes.

    Kent v Gloucs 305-6

    The Price brothers have earned Gloucestershire their third batting bonus point at Canterbury, although the scoring rate has dropped since Glenn Phillips departed. In fact, it's dipped just below four an over for probably the first time today!

    Ollie is on 19, with Tom on 10 and Kent will be hoping the new ball - due in three overs' time - can help them to make further inroads.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Briggs lbw b Lamb 17 (Warwickshire 248-7 v Lancashire)

    Sam Hain may be in sparkling form, but wickets keep on falling at the other end.

    This time Danny Briggs it out lbw to Danny Lamb and Warwickshire are in danger of posting a below-par first-innings score at Edgbaston.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 12 June 2022

    Patel c Aldridge b Siddle 0 (Somerset 180 v Surrey 8-1)

    Just what Somerset were looking for - an early wicket in the Surrey reply!

    Ryan Patel had already survived a close lbw call against Peter Siddle and now he slaps the Australian straight into the waiting hands of square leg without troubling the scorers.

    Hashim Amla strides out to join Rory Burns in the middle.
