    Essex 314 v Surrey 131-4

    Essex persist with Simon Harmer and he 'gets the treatment' again as Will Jacks sweeps high over square leg for six.

    Jacks is a very dangerous customer if he gets going and a perfect foil for the more old-school batting skills of partner Ben Foakes.

  2. Postpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Worcs 264 v Sussex 226-6

    A flashing square cut brings Fynn Hudson-Prentice a boundary off Matthew Waite, his first scoring stroke.

    Good shot but his first, and most important job, is to play stalwart sergeant to Cheteshwar Pujara's captain.

  3. 50 runs

    for Sam Hainpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Hampshire 229 v Warwickshire 195-4

    A 35th first-class half-century for the 27-year-old, brought up with a four off Kyle Abbott, his seventh of a 110-ball stint.

    He made centuries in the first two matches before two low scores against Surrey last weekend. Can he make it three in four matches? I'm not betting against him.

  4. Resumption at Taunton set for 15:45 BSTpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Somerset 8-0 v Northamptonshire 255

    Hopefully for longer, this time!

    Yorkshire 106 v Glamorgan 245 & 57-2

    Glamorgan have lost their captain David Lloyd for 33, caught at point off the bowling of Mickey Edwards.

    Sam Northeast joins Marnus Labuschagne in the middle - they're two batters Yorkshire need to get rid of quickly with Glamorgan's lead nearing 200.

    And before Northeast can face a ball, the rain returns.

    Essex 314 v Surrey 122-4

    A leg-slip and short leg again in place for Simon Harmer but Ben Foakes deftly turns the ball between them and collects four to long leg.

    He is into double figures and Will Jacks has two. Still no wicket for Harmer, who has completed 12 overs for 0-41.

  7. Postpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Notts 249 v Lancashire 214 & 54-1

    Josh Bohannon is carrying on where he left off yesterday, cutting Olly Stone through point for a boundary.

    Bohannon top-scored with 68 in Lancashire's first innings and is up to 19 not out in the second.

    The lead is now 19.

  8. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 15:30 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Worcs 264 v Sussex 219-6

    The IPL comes to New Road as Cheteshwar Pujara uppercuts the first ball of a new Josh Tongue over point for a six. The Sussex skipper advances to 74 not out.

  9. Postpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Hampshire 229 v Warwickshire 179-4

    Ed Barnard has made a flying start with 13 from 11 balls but Liam Dawson thinks he's pinned him there, pitching just outside off maybe. No dice, says the umpire.

    The deficit is down to 50 and the run rate has crept up and is closer to three than 2.5 for the first time.

  10. wicket

    WICKET - Carter b Waite 23published at 15:25 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Worcs 264 v Sussex 213-6

    That would have been a tough one for Oli Carter to survive, even if they hadn't just been off for a lengthy rain delay.

    Matthew Waite finds some late away swing and cleans the Sussex batter up as he attempts a rather airy drive.

    The Sussex deficit is 51 as Fynn Hudson-Prentice joins Cheteshwar Pujara.

  11. Latest from Derbypublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Derbys 254-4 v Leics 122

    Leicestershire have a much-needed wicket, with Wayne Madsen caught behind off Tom Scriven for 67.

    He was dropped on 18 and shared a stand of 122 with Leus du Plooy, who has now been joined by Matt Lamb.

  12. Play restarts at New Roadpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Worcestershire 264, Sussex 212-5 (59 overs)

    BBC Sport at New Road

    After a 46-minute delay, we are back on at New Road.

    13 overs lost, tea at 16:00.

    But they are already serving the famed afternoon tea and cake in the Ladies Pavilion.

    And the word on the street is that the toffee-coffee slice is well worth queueing for.

  13. wicket

    WICKET - Pope lbw Porter 26published at 15:16 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Essex 314 v Surrey 110-4

    Jamie PorterImage source, Rex Features

    Inspired captaincy by Tom Westley, who removes Doug Bracewell from the attack and calls up Jamie Porter for a new spell.

    His first delivery is too good for Ollie Pope, who plays across the line and is leg before.

    Pope is replaced by another England player, Will Jacks, who made a dazzling unbeaten 150 against Essex at The Oval last summer.

  14. Lancashire into the leadpublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Notts 249 v Lancashire 214 & 36-1

    Lancashire have lost only one wicket in wiping out their first-innings deficit at Trent Bridge.

    Stuart Broad is into the Notts attack.

  15. rain stops play

    Rain stops play at Tauntonpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Somerset 8-0 v Northamptonshire 255

    It has been threatening this for a while but the players head off just three overs into the reply.

    A concentrated dollop looms over Taunton on the radar, but some of those colours look worryingly bright. Might be a quick downpour. We'll see.

  16. wicket

    WICKET - Mousley lbw b Holland 23published at 15:09 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Hampshire 229 v Warwickshire 164-4

    The 69-run partnership is over. Ian Holland has his first wicket of the season.

    Dan Mousley has played nicely after scoring only eight from his first 38 balls but will want this one back. He bends down to attempt an ambitious hoik across the line and misses the ball completely. He can have no arguments there.

    Hampshire have their breakthrough. Ed Barnard joins Sam Hain, who is on 40.

  17. Batting point for Derbyshirepublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Derbys 253-3 v Leics 122

    Derbyshire pass 250 as Wayne Madsen gives himself room and finds the boundary with a delicate, and very well played, late cut off Rehan Ahmed.

    He is 67 not out, Leus du Plooy has 65, and the lead is 131.

  18. Postpublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Yorkshire 106 v Glamorgan 245 & 44-1

    Glamorgan's openers were making steady progress but Jordan Thompson has trapped Andrew Salter lbw and the visitors are 44-1, leading by 183.

    Marnus Labuschagne is next in.

  19. Postpublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Somerset 8-0 v Northamptonshire 255

    The reply has begun at Taunton.

    Somerset openers Tom Lammonby and Sean Dickson both get off the mark with smart drives througn mid-off for four, off Ben Sanderson and Jack White respectively.

  20. wicket

    WICKET - Smith c Pepper b Bracewell 2published at 15:01 British Summer Time 5 May 2023

    Essex 314 v Surrey 107-3

    This is an excellent spell by Doug Bracewell and he earns his second reward with a superb leg-cutter as Michael Pepper takes a sprawling catch behind the stumps.

    Ben Foakes is in at five for Surrey and he could do with some more runs ahead of the summer Tests now that Mr Jonny Bairstow is back in business for Yorkshire.

    He receives another cracker from Bracewell first up, but it just misses the edge of his bat. Essex have their first bowling point.
