Second-placed Hampshire at home to Yorkshire, who are third
Middlesex, on top of Division Two, are away to Derbyshire
Dent lbw b Milnes 11 (Kent v Gloucs 46-3)
Image source, Rex FeaturesThree for Matt Milnes now! Kent are right on top, having won the toss and put their visitors in.
Chris Dent is back in the side after injury, but his innings is over already with just 11 to his name, lbw to one that kept low.
Glenn Phillips is at the wicket now and Gloucestershire could do with a rescue act from him...
Yates b Balderson 0 (Warwickshire 26-2 v Lancashire)
This is turning into a fine morning for Lancshire are they were asked to bowl.
George Balderson bowls Rob Yates for nought.
Sam Hain, who's scored 567 runs at an average of 81 this season, comes in at four for the Bears.
Hants v Yorkshire 33-0
George Hill is looking in fine touch.
The Yorkshire batter steps into a full delivery from Keith Barker and pumps the paceman down the ground.
Davies c Bohannon b Bailey 11 (Warwickshire 24-1 v Lancashire)
Alex Davies tries to thwack Tom Bailey into the leg side but gets a leading edge and the ball pops to Josh Bohannon at mid-off.
Lammonby lbw b Worrall 5 (Somerset 21-2 v Surrey)
Somerset's decision to bat at Taunton is looking a little iffy right now, with both openers back in the pavilion already.
Dan Worrall's the man who strikes this time, bowling around the wicket to get Tom Lammonby leg before shuffling across his stumps.

Durham are 31-0 against Worcestershire, while Sussex have lost an early wicket against Glamorgan to leave them 29-1 - Tom Alsop the man to go to Michael Neser.
Bottom side Leicestershire have also lost a wicket against Notts. Hassan Azad was dismissed by James Pattinson with the Foxes now on 28-1.
Bracey c Billings b Milnes 1 (Kent v Gloucs 37-2)
Matt Milnes has really hit his straps this morning - now he has James Bracey nibbling outside off stump and Sam Billings does the rest behind the stumps.
Two wickets in two overs for the Kent seamer - although his opening ball partner, New Zealand's Jacob Duffy, has been expensive at the other end.
Warwickshire 23-0 v Lancashire
Timing!
Tom Bailey digs one in slightly short and Warwickshire opener Alex Davies swats him into the leg side and over the rope.
Scott lbw b Milnes 27 (Kent v Gloucs 35-1)
George Scott's lively knock of 27 from 25 balls - almost as if he's just been playing T20 cricket, perhaps? - comes to an end as Matt Milnes pins him leg before.
That brings James Bracey to the crease to join Chris Dent.
Green c Jacks v Clark 13 (Somerset 17-1 v Surrey)
It's a breakthrough for Surrey! Jordan Clark is the man who strikes, persuading Ben Green to flash outside off stump and Will Jacks pouches the catch at second slip.
Hants v Yorkshire 22-0
Yorkshire opener George Hill has cracked three boundaries in the opening few overs at The Ageas Bowl.
Good start for the visitors who are third in Division One having drawn five of their first six matches.
Kent v Gloucs 18-0
It's the basement battle at Canterbury, with both Kent and Gloucestershire yet to win in the Championship this season.
So far, a lively start from the visitors, who were put in to bat. Chris Dent is back after injury but he's only faced a single delivery so far, with opening partner George Scott crunching a couple of early boundaries to race along to 15.
Warwickshire 3-0 v Lancashire
Yorkshire Roses rivals Lancashire are at Edgbaston today.
Alex Davies and Dom Sibley are opening for Warwickshire - Sibley will be hoping to give the England selectors a nudge with Zak Crawley's place in a bit of jeopardy.
Hants v Yorkshire 3-0
Adam Lyth and George Hill are in the middle for Yorkshire at the Ageas Bowl who won the toss and chose to bat first.
Keith Barker and Kyle Abbott have the new ball for Hampshire.
