Somerset v Gloucs 320-6
They are out in the middle at Taunton following a 45-minute delay.

Gareth Roderick and Joe Leach have posted a 50 partnership for Worcestershire at Sophia Gardens - and they have also secured a third batting point for their side.

A fourth batting point for the visitors with Matt Critchley and Feroze Kushi enjoying a solid opening to day two.

Image source, Rex FeaturesHas the devil gone out of the wicket at Trent Bridge?
Hard to say if you don't pitch the ball on it.
A wide full toss from Michael Finan is slapped through the covers by Haseeb Hameed, who is 23 not out and the Notts lead is now 156.
It's the final scoring shot, though, before the umpires decide the light isn't good enough to continue.
Hants 273-6 v Northants
Forecast suggests lot of rain around the Southampton area today and some has found it’s way to West End.
Glamorgan v Worcs 294-7
We've had another shower at Sophia Gardens, but it was hardly worth the players walking off. They'll resume in a couple of minutes.
Notts 201 & 40-0 v Leics 93
Michael Finan is certainly bending his back at Trent Bridge and his is slightly unfortunate as Ben Slater tries to force one away off the back foot and slices into the gap between the three slips and gully.
It brings the left-hander four runs and he is now 16 not out.
Somerset v Gloucestershire 320-6 (play due to start 11:15)
Image source, Getty ImagesSomerset head coach Jason Kerr admitted his bowlers struggled on the opening day because of the lack of recent red-ball match practice.
Prior to the start of the current round of games, there had been no Championship cricket since 28 July because of The Hundred.
"We looked rusty. It was six weeks since we had played any red-ball cricket and it showed because we weren't able to string dot balls together and create any pressure this morning," said Kerr at close of play.
"We knew it would be a decent surface, but we thought we could utilise what grass there was on the pitch. The ball was swinging when we practised and we felt we could make early inroads. It wasn't to be, but we were so much better in the final session."
Hants 255-6 v Northants
Four boundaries in quick succession from Aneurin Donald help get him to fifty in only 53 balls with ten fours.
Second batting point also up for the home side now.
The dangerous, and very capable, Keith Barker is now alongside him.
Glamorgan v Worcs 294-7
We have play at Sophia Gardens and Joe Leach collects two boundaries to third man to end James Harris' latest over.

Somerset v Gloucestershire 320-6

Notts 201 & 30-0 v Leics 93
Left-armer Michael Finan's length is too full and straight and Haseeb Hameed picks him off twice for fours through mid-wicket.
When play began Hameed was four not out and needed 80 more runs to reach 1,000 in the Championship this season.
He's now on 19, with Ben Slater nine at the other end.
Glamorgan v Worcestershire 285-7
The rain has cleared in Cardiff and the umpires are now planning a 10:45 start.

Ben Sanderson strikes with his fourth ball of the day!
A big blow too to get Liam Dawson who battles out of the tightest corners.
Dawson pushes a fraction hard at a length ball and nicks it into the cordon.
It’s a really good low catch from Emilio Gay diving low to his left.
