Glamorgan’s Australian fast bowler Michael Neser turned in a devastating display of pace and swing for career-best figures of 7-32, including a hat-trick, as Jonny Bairstow was left stranded on 20 not out.

Bairstow had struck a couple of stylish boundaries in sunny conditions following the morning rain, before Neser began his work by trapping Dawid Malan leg-before for 25.

George Hill played no shot to a Neser inswinger which hit the top of off-stump, and Dom Bess unbelievably made the same mistake next ball.

Bairstow then needed treatment for a blow on the ankle when a stray throw caught him, but he saw Jordan Thompson edging behind to leave Yorkshire nine down.

Bairstow’s attempt to take the strike then back-fired as he went for an optimistic single and last man Ben Coad was run out by a direct hit from Kiran Carlson without facing.

And here is a tribute to Katherine Sciver-Brunt from one of her former team-mates, Test Match Special's Isa Guha.

We brought you news earlier on of Katherine Sciver-Brunt's retirement from international cricket. Here are a few words from KB herself.

A very entertaining morning of cricket - especially given the ominous weather forecast last night.

The local sages departed for the day predicting doom, gloom, rain and worse.

But we have had a full morning's session, four wickets, almost 100 runs, and a fine innings from Sussex skipper Cheteshwar Pujara, who is warming up nicely for the India Test star ahead of the World Test Championship final againsst Australia at The Oval on 7 June.

Pujara, on 40, is well on course for a repeat of the ton he got here in this sdame fixture last season.

Oh yes. All that and a bit of Steve Smith too!

Lunch still 15 minutes away at Somerset. The shortened morning session has seen Northants add 84 runs so far for the loss of two wickets to just about edge it.

James Sales has breezed on to 42 while Tom Taylor has shown a couple of lovely touches in his 24 from 39 balls including two pulled fours in succession off Craig Overton's last over.

Andrew Salter survives the one over possible in Glamorgan's second innings before lunch and the visitors head into the break in a dominant position at Headingley, courtesy of Michael Neser's 7-32.

Those career-best figures included a hat-trick - Dawid Malan, George Hill and Dom Bess the batters dismissed by the Australia Test seamer.

Jonny Bairstow didn't get the batting practice he might have wanted or expected. He faced 34 balls for his 20 not out.

Cricket between the showers at Chelmsford on the second morning.

Surrey resumed at 1-0 and Rory Burns and Dom Sibley negotiated the new ball with little difficulty, albeit Burns survived a very difficult chance to Dan Lawrence at third slip off Jamie Porter on 11.

He eventually succumbed to a good low catch at first slip by Alastair Cook off the deserving Sam Cook for 27.

Dom Sibley (39) and Ollie Pope (9) safely guided Surrey to lunch.

Notts move into the lead just before the lunch break, courtesy of a lofted straight drive by Stuart Broad off George Balderson.

After losing a couple of early wickets, Haseeb Hameed and Olly Stone brought Notts back into it with an eighth-wicket stand of 50.

Hameed is 95 not out and five runs away from what would be a hard-fought century.

Essex 314 v Surrey 76-1

Has Dom Sibley been reading the Bazball handbook?

Simon Harmer sends one down outside off stump and he clobbers it over mid-wicket for the second six of his innings.

Expect the prolific Essex wicket-taker to come up with a wily response.

Stuart Broad is doing Stuart Broad things, hitting a couple of boundaries as Notts move within five runs of Lancashire's 214.

Haseeb Hameed might prefer Broad to be a tad more circumspect for a little bit - he's into the 90s.

They've taken an early lunch at Derby, very sensibly, given the weather.

The downpour has passed and headed to Trent Bridge. The umpires will head out at 13:00 BST to have a chat about when they might resume at the County Ground.

Doug Bracewell comes in for his first over and Ollie Pope clips him away to leg for four to open his account. Dom Sibley is on 32 at the other end.

Hampshire 229 v Warwickshire 95-3

Why can't we have nice things?

It's one minute later than they came off yesterday but the drizzle in the air has turned into rain and the players troop off. Warwickshire might not mind, this time. They are 17-3 in the 35-ish minute mini-session.

As yesterday, I'm sure that wlll be lunch taken.

Surrey have lost their first wicket with Rory Burns caught at first slip by Alastair Cook off namesake Sam Cook for 27.

Simon Harmer is now into the attack and Dom Sibley has just slogged him over the leg-side for six - a very unSibley like shot.
