  1. for Ajeet Dalepublished at 12:46 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Worcs 143-9 v Gloucs 231

    It's a big moment for Ajeet Dale, who bowls Josh Tongue for 11 to complete the first five-wicket haul of his career.

    Last man Dillon Pennington comes to the crease. Can Tom Price pick up this final wicket to for his five-for?

    Sussex 361 & 30-0 v yorks 298

    Shot by Ali Orr!

    The ball angles into the opening batter gets into line and drives Fisher away for three.

    After a strong Yorkshire resurgence this morning, momentum is swinging back to the hosts.

    A quick reminder that there will be late lunches at some of our grounds today because of time lost to rain over the first two days.

    Have no fear, we won't have ours while there is play going on.

    De Grandhomme c Rew b Gregory 0 (Somerset 441 v Lancashire 413-4)

    Two wickets in the over for Lewis Gregory!

    Colin de Grandhomme plays a flat-footed drive away from his body off his third ball and he's caught behind.

    A double wicket-maiden for Gregory with the new ball!

    Suddenly the complexion of the game has changed in the last 15 minutes with two wickets and Keaton Jennings limping off.

  5. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:41 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Simpson c Clarke b James 6

    Breakthrough! Five people are out on the leg side for the hook and the keeper-batter pulls the ball round the corner and feathers a catch to the keeper.

    Middlesex are in big trouble - 193 adrift.

  6. Essex declarepublished at 12:40 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Kent v Essex 451-5 dec

    Michael Pepper clubs one down the ground for two more runs to bring up the 450 and the team's fifth batting point.

    There is no hesitation or word between the batters - they are straight back to the dressing rooms.

    Whiteman b Abbott 6 (Northants 149 & 14-3 v Hants 482-8 dec)

    Carbon copy of the Ricardo Vasconcelos' wicket earlier in the over as Kyle Abbott cleans up Northamptonshire's Australian signing.

    Hampshire won their opening match of the season and lost their second. Looks like the seesaw is on the way up again.

  9. wicket

    Vilas c Rew b Gregory 17 (Somerset 441 v Lancashire 413-3)

    Somerset have the new ball in their hands and it only takes one ball to work its magic!

    A lovely delivery from Lewis Gregory, with a little bit of shape and it takes Dane Vilas' outside edge.

    Dropped catchpublished at 12:38 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Sussex 361 & 23-0 v Yorks 298

    Ali Orr on 13 swats a delivery from Fisher to mid wicket and the ball is put down.

    The next ball is a jaffa, played and missed outside off.

    Sussex 361 & 22-0 v Yorks 298

    Haines drives Fisher confidently down the ground for a couple of runs as the sound of a helicopter buzzing over the ground is picked up on the commentary mic.

    A glorious four driven on bended knee through the covers off the same bowler.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:36 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Vasconcelos b Abbott 6 (Northants 149 & 13-2 v Hants 488-dec)

    Another one gone at Wantage Road.

    Ricardo Vasconcelos plays down the wrong line as Kyle Abbott find enough movement to beat the bat and hit off stump.

    Northants need another 320 to avoid an innings defeat. Skipper Luke Procter comes out on a pair.

    for Michael Pepperpublished at 12:35 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Kent v Essex 443-5

    Michael Pepper nudges a single into the onside to bring up a run-a-ball half century.

    Just a third 50 of his career for the 24-year-old wicketkeeper.

    Middlesex 168-5 v Notts 364

    Great shot by Ryan Higgins, stepping back and driving Paterson through the covers for four runs.

    Four more off Lyndon James at the other end, this time driving in the same region on the front foot.

    Northants 149 & 9-1 v Hants 482-8 dec

    Hampshire have a silly mid-on in place for Ricardo Vasconcelos as Kyle Abbott starts out on his latest over. Two from it and there is little more Northants can do at the moment except hang on and try to see off the new ball.

  16. ouch!

    Jennings retires hurtpublished at 12:30 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Keaton JenningsImage source, Getty Images

    Keaton Jennings gingerly defends two balls from Jack Leach, before deciding that he is not fit enough to continue.

    That is a real pity as the Lancashire captain walks off, 189 not out, with another huge score at his mercy.

    Wicketkeeper George Bell is the new man at the crease.

  17. Postpublished at 12:28 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    Sussex 361 & 12-0 v Yorks 298

    Good shot by Ali Orr, who drives Coad through cover and runs three.

    Solid start for the Sussex opening pair.

    Oops! Orr miscues a leg glance off Fisher but fortunately the ball pings off the outside edge wide of the slips and through to the boundary for four.

  18. wicket

    Browne c Cox b Leaning 159 (Kent v Essex 424-5)

    The end of Nick Browne's three-day knock!

    He comes down the wicket looking for a big shot off Jack Leaning's part-time spin and he holes out in the deep.

    A wonderful innings comes to an end that has lasted 299 balls and 383 minutes with 23 fours and one six.

    Somerset 441 v Lancashire 413-2

    Keaton Jennings hobbles through for a single off Peter Siddle and goes down clutching the back of his leg.

    The Lancashire physio is summoned for treatment to deal with the captain.

    He may well need a runner to continue his innings.
