To coincide with Steve Smith's first innings for Sussex - now over - we asked you to tell us who the best overseas player to have played for your county was. Here are a couple of responses.

From Tim: "#bbccricket, external As a Sussex fan I remember watching Imran Khan in his heyday - he was pretty special."

From Adam: "#bbccricket, external for Glamorgan been spoilt. King Viv Richards changed culture and won a trophy or Waqar Younis bowled us to County Champ in 1997 and recently good old Marnus who loves it in South Wales."

James Coles flicks Ben Gibbon away for four but the bowler thinks he has him next up - only for the umpire to turn down the appeal for a catch behind the wicket.

A lot of onus now on Chesteshwar Pujara - who is 35 not out - if Sussex are to achieve a first-innings lead following the dismissal of Steve Smith.

Hampshire 229 v Warwickshire 94-1

Alex Davies risks leaving one from Kyle Abbott and I have no idea how that's not hit the stumps. Plenty of help for Abbott and Mohammad Abbas today, much more than there was last night.

Davies uses that extra adrenaline to slash through the covers two balls later, his seventh four brings up his 37th first-class half-century.

It took him 90 balls and has given his side a fine platform to build on here.

Worrying moments as Jonny Bairstow receives some treatment on the field. It looks like he was hit on the inside of his leg but in an area not protected by his pads.

Doesn't appear to be any lasting damage and he's carrying on. England followers sigh with relief.

Derbys 189-3 v Leics 122

The players are going to take lunch at the Incora County Ground, with only 12 overs of play possible so far.

The umpires plan to inspect at 1.00pm, so let's hope we'll see some more cricket later on.

Well, what an entertaining little cameo that was.

An hour and 19 minutes of classic Steve Smith. All his little whims and foibles at the crease.

Five majestic boundaries. 30 runs. 57 balls. All that and a 10-minute break to change his helmet.

It is a feather in the cap for Josh Tongue to get him - and of particular note to the England selectors, who have had the Worcestershire paceman on their radar for a while, when fit..

But the decision from umpire Peter Hartley to give him was slightly questionable. Maybe a touch high!

At least we still have another Test class player to watch out there, India's Cheteshwar Pujara, who has arguably hit the two most attractive boundaries of the morning.

Shane Snater comes in again and Rory Burns carves it away square for four. A stroke of authority and intent by the Surrey skipper.

He is 27 not out and Dom Sibley has 24.

What a ball from Peter Siddle to beat the outside edge.

Harry Gouldstone, the 22-year-old who will keep for Northants as Lewis McManus has a broken finger, won't have seen many like that in his young career, but he lives to fight another day.

James Sales streakily edges Kasey Aldridge past the slips to begin the next over then lifts another rising delivery for another, more intentional boundary, before Aldridge just misses the edge himself.

Nip and tuck, this one.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Matthew Waite sends down a half-volley, Steve Smith puts his foot to the pitch and strokes it sublimely through cover for four.

He is 30 not out but is beaten twice by Josh Tongue in the next over - a reminder that even cricketing superstars are human.

And with his very next ball, Michael Neser completes a five-for!

George Hill leaves alone and turns back to see his off bail dislodged.

Yorkshire in trouble. Dom Bess comes in to try to keep out the hat-trick ball.

They are back in the middle at Chelmsford - our third start of the morning. Shane Snater has the ball and Dom Sibley picks up a single to move to 24 not out. Essex will be looking for any lapse of concentration because of the rain delays.

You can't bowl there to Steve Smith and he flicks Matthew Waite away to long leg for an easy boundary.

A no-ball bouncer from Josh Tongue in the next over brings up a 50 partnership for Smith and Cheteshwar Pujara.

This was the scene earlier on (see below) when he walked out to bat.

A good little period for Notts, this, as Olly Stone plays a couple of sumptuous cover drives to the boundary to continue eroding that Lancashire lead.

Haseeb Hameed has crept up to 80 not out and Notts are just 40 behind now.
