for Rob Keoghpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Kent 222 v Northamptonshire 117 & 202-6
A much-needed half-century for Rob Keogh as Northants try to build up their lead which is now a couple short of 100.
Half-century for Chris Wrightpublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Yorkshire 517 v Leicestershire 401-9

Yorkshire 517, Leicestershire 397-9
Josh Hull is ninth man out in Leeds. Only 15 from his maiden first-class innings, but the big left-hander did at least plunder three fours.
Dom Bess takes the catch to earn paceman Matthew Revis a first wicket of the season.
for Fletcha Middletonpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Hampshire 231 & 89-1 v Nottinghamshire 185 & 177
Excellent work Fletcha Middleton!
He has his second 50 in his first Championship game and he is steering his team to victory.
This has come off 89 balls with six fours and he has shown real maturity.
WICKET Burns c Vilas b Parkinson 54published at 15:21 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Lancashire 291 v Surrey 442 & 134-4
Rory Burns goes to sweeps and ends up top-edging it with Dane Vilas taking a good catch diving forward being square.

Middlesex 170 v Essex 266 & 171-6
Three for Tim Murtagh!
Matt Critchley departs shortly after reaching his half-century - he's not the first person to do that today.
It's a big wicket for Murtagh who traps Critchley lbw.
Dropped catchpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Lancashire 291 v Surrey 442 & 131-3
Ben Foakes really should be on his way for 24, but Tom Bailey, normally a safe pair of hands, has put down a dolly at mid-on.
Matt Parkinson is not amused!
for Marcus Harrispublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Glamorgan 404 v Glos 165 & 209-2
Applause ripples around Sophia Gardens as Marcus Harris reaches a century.
That's the Australian's fourth ton for Gloucestershire and this one came from 131 balls.
Glamorgan's dwindling lead is now 29.

Middlesex 170 v Essex 266 & 167-5

His side's lead creeps over 260.
Foxes avoid follow-on threatpublished at 15:10 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Yorkshire 517 v Leicestershire 378-8
Leicestershire still trail at Headingley - but they have at least reached their preliminary target, avoiding any threat of being asked to follow on.
They needed 368 to do that - and tfheir ninth-wicket pair of Chris Wright have sailed past it.
The 37-year-old former Middlesex, Essex and Warwickshire paceman has always been one of the handier tailenders down the years, with 13 previous first-class half-centuries to his name. Can he nail down another one?
Wright is on 37 not out, with Josh Hull on 10. 141 the deficit.

Hampshire 231 & 80-1 v Nottinghamshire 185 & 177
It has reached desperation times for Notts now.
Nick Gubbins and Fletcha Middleton are quietly eating at this total.
Only 52 more for victory.
for Rory Burnspublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Lancashire 291 v Surrey 442 & 119-3
Image source, Getty ImagesA first 50 of the summer for the Surrey captain.
He has taken 92 balls and hit four fours in what is a nice scenario for batting.
He's in the ideal position to discuss with partner Ben Foakes about when to hit the accelerator.
Bears batters plough on at Tauntonpublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 8 April 2023
Somerset 284, Warwickshire 166-2 (39 overs)
Anthony Gibson
BBC Radio SomersetAlex Davies and Sam Hain are continuing to make largely untroubled progress against some lacklustre Somerset bowling with a distinct hint of rust about it.
Not even the stentorian encouragement of Somerset's most famous supporter, the legendary Tractor Driver, has been enough to lift the body language in the field. Worrying.

Kent 222 v Northamptonshire 117 & 176-6

Four wickets needed for Kent, with Northants' lead currently at 72.

People are now streaming away from the other Old Trafford back to their cars and trams.
There is plenty of activity in the car parks at the cricket ground, which are used for the football.
Surely a few fans must be tempted to do a football-cricket double on such a gorgeous afternoon!

A lovely on-drive off Dane Paterson takes him to 39, the stand to 53 and the target down to 73.
Hampshire look like they have unearthed a real talent here.
