    KENT ALL OUT FOR 222

    Quinn lbw b White 2

    Double Nelson for Kent.

    Michael Hogan hit a nice four for Kent but fellow tail-ender Matt Quinn is pinned leg before by Jack White for the Northants paceman's fourth wicket of the day.

    Chris Tremain's debut 5-44 just outdoes White's 4-57 in the bowling figures, while Zak Crawley was the standout man with the bat for Kent, his 91 helping them establish a 105 first-innings lead.

    But no bonus batting point as they fall short of the 250 mark.

  2. wicket

    Haynes out for 62 at Derby

    Derbyshire 321, Worcestershire 254-5

    After reaching his Worcestershire 50, Jack Haynes then takes hs side to 250 for a first batting bonus point - then he gets out.

    The England Lions man becomes a third scalp for Sam Conners, which brings in wicket-keeper Gareth Roderick to join skipper Brett D'Oliveira.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Bailey c Abbott b Roach 0

    Lancashire 197-8 v Surrey 442

    The duck should be walking across the screen now!!

    Tom Bailey's first ball is sent into the hands of Sean Abbott - him again - at short midwicket for the tamest of dismissals.

    From 182-4 to 197-8, this innings has crumpled in a heap.

  4. wicket

    WICKET - Billings c McManus b Tremain 31

    Kent 216-9 v Northants 117

    A debut five-fer for Chris Tremain as the Aussie has Sam Billings caught behind - Lewis McManus' fifth snare of the day.

    The end is nigh for the Kent innings - or can tail-enders Matt Quinn and Michael Hogan add a few to their near-100 lead?

  5. wicket

    WICKET Wood c Worrall b Abbott 0

    Lancashire 196-7 v Surrey 442

    Sean Abbott does it again!

    Luke Wood falls into the trap fourth ball as he clips one to short midwicket where Dan Worrall had been placed.

    Abbott has 4-31 and has ripped through Lancashire's batting.

  6. 6 runs

    for Kent's Billings

    Kent 216-8 v Northants 117

    Sam Billings is dropped and you know what happens next. Of course, he smashes a six.

    Bowler Jack White is not happy.

  7. wicket

    WICKET Bell c Foakes b Abbott 20

    Lancashire 196-6 v Surrey 442

    Surrey are sensing blood now.

    George Bell had battled hard but Sean Abbott gets him edging behind. It looks a tricky chance but Ben Foakes makes it look easy.

    What a day the champions are having.

  8. 50 runs

    for Middlesex's Higgins

    Middlesex 102-5 v Essex 266

    Essex have turned to the spin of Simon Harmer in an attempt to cure this dry, wicket-less spell they are experiencing.

    But it's not worked yet and Ryan Higgins has reached his half-century off just 72 balls. It's been good steady scoring considering the position Middlesex find themselves.

    He's not taken too many chances but has picked off the runs when they've been there to be picked off.

  9. wicket

    WICKET - Stewart c McManus b Tremain 0

    Kent 209-8 v Northants 117

    And another one falls at Canterbury.

    Chris Tremain has his fourth wicket on his County Championship debut as Grant Stewart edges behind for a duck. A fourth catch for wicketkeeper Lewis McManus.

    Kent's lead is not going to be as a big as they would have hoped when they were 197-5.

  10. Hampshire 231 v Nottinghamshire 185 & 94-4

    We have 22 overs left today.

    If Hampshire grab a couple more wickets, they will be in pole position to take victory on day three.

    Notts have lost all momentum since the fall of Ben Duckett.

  11. 50 runs

    Half-century stand at Headingley

    Yorkshire 517, Leicestershire 125-3

    Two of Leicestershire's foreign contingent are helping the Foxes make more of a fight of it in Leeds.

    South African Colin Ackermann and Aussie Peter Handscomb have now put on 61 for the fourth wicket.

    They now trail by only 392, although the follow-on avoidance score of 368 in the main target.

  12. wicket

    WICKET - Evison c McManus b White 5

    Kent 204-7 v Northants 117

    Northants knock another one off as wicketkeeper Lewis McManus takes his third catch behind this innings and Jack White his third wicket as Joey Evison departs for five.

    Still 29 overs to be bowled in the day at Canterbury so plenty of time to see the start of a potential Northants second innings.

  13. wicket

    WICKET Jennings b Clark 76

    Lancashire 182-5 v Surrey 442

    Bowled him!!!

    This is the one Surrey wanted as they remove the Lancashire captain.

    They had slowed up Keaton Jennings' scoring and now Jordan Clark has knocked his middle pole out of the ground.

    Half the Lancashire wickets have gone and they trail by 260 runs.

  14. 50 runs

    Half-century for Jack Haynes

    Derbyshire 321, Worcestershire 216-4

    England Lions' Jack Haynes eases to his first half-century of the summer for Worcestershire at Derby - and the 11th of his first-class career.

    Skipper Brett D'Oliveira is on 31, the pair have put on 76 together for the fifth wicket and the lead is now down to just 105.

  15. Hampshire 231 v Nottinghamshire 185 & 86-4

    Steven Mullaney has arrived in the middle for Notts.

    He would not have been expecting that 15 minutes ago as his side has gone from effectively 40-1 to 40-4.

  16. wicket

    WICKET James c Brown b Abbott 0

    Hampshire 231 v Nottinghamshire 185 & 86-4

    Two wickets in the over for Kyle Abbott!

    A good ball, in the right area, and it's good enough to get a thin edge off Lyndon James' bat.

    Hampshire have taken three for nought, all to Abbott.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Clarke c Brown b Abbott 0

    Hampshire 231 v Nottinghamshire 185 & 86-3

    Kyle Abbott makes it a double!

    He induces a poor shot from Joe Clarke, who edges injudiciously to the wicketkeeper.

    The lead is 40 and Hampshire are right back in it.

  18. 50 runs

    partnership for Middlesex

    Middlesex 76-5 v Essex 266

    A 50 stand for the sixth wicket is never to be sniffed at - especially when the batters came together at 20-5.

    Credit to Ryan Higgins and John Simpson for steadying the Middlesex ship at Lord's because it appeared iceberg-bound a couple of hours back.

    Albeit Higgins was a tad fortunate a few balls ago that an edge to slip did not carry. Middlesex need those bits of luck right now, and how.

  19. wicket

    WICKET - Overton b Barnard 1

    Somerset 136-7 v Warwickshire

    Two wickets in the space of six deliveries for Warwickshire.

    Craig Overton is also clean bowled.

    Three scalps today for Ed Barnard - his 26th against Somerset.

  20. wicket

    WICKET - Crawley c Berg b Tremain 91

    Kent 197-6 v Northants 117

    And a couple of balls later, Crawley is gone, nine runs short of his century.

    A fine innings from the England man but he is not happy with the manner of his departure, chuntering at himself as he trudges off after looping an easy catch up for Gareth Berg.

    Big end of the day coming up here - Kent looking to build as big a lead as possible, Northants trying to limit their deficit.
