    Warwickshire v Essex 107-7

    Tom Westley has had enough of watching wickets tumble from the non-strikers end - the Essex captain takes 12 from the latest Ed Barnard over.

    First he smashes Barnard back over his head, before tickling one to the fine-leg boundary, and then going down the ground for four more.

    Good stuff from Westley - not letting Warwickshire have everything their own way.

    WICKETpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Bracewell c Yates b Hannon-Dalby 0 (Warwickshire v Essex 95-7)

    Oliver Hannon-Dalby has hammered away at the top of off all day, and is getting his rewards now.

    It's another accurate delivery, and Doug Bracewell can only edge through to the safe hands of Rob Yates at first slip.

    Glamorgan 120-6 v Worcs 109

    So many wickets are falling after tea!

    Glamorgan have collapsed from 99-2 to 120-6 against Worcestershire and their first-innings lead might not be so big after all.

    Adam Finch is doing plenty of damage - the seamer has three wickets.

  5. wicket

    YORKSHIRE ALL OUTpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Edwards c Robinson b Raine 13 (Durham v Yorkshire 254)

    A useful 36 added for the 10th wicket to earn a point but it hasn't taken too long for Durham to wrap things up.

    Mickey Edwards last man out, aiming a big drive at Ben Raine with the second new ball that seams back and takes an inside edge behind.

    6-73 the total collapse for Yorkshire.

  6. Close of play at Old Traffordpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Lancs v Somerset 109-4

    The rain has won out in Manchester.

    There will be no further play today between Lancashire and Somerset.

  7. Surrey found their mojopublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Surrey v Middlesex 199-9

    Surrey have found their mojo after a slow start this morning.

    Middlesex have lost four wickets for nine runs - three of those to Daniel Worrall who didn't concede a run after the tea until a single was taken off the last ball of his fourth over after the interval.

    The ball has seamed all day but Surrey failed to make the most of it on winning the toss.

    Toby Roland-Jones and Ethan Bamber have just fallen to become Worrall's fourth and fifth in the spell and surely it's time for Luke Hollman to tee off as the end appears.

    There's a fair spread of grass atop a dampish pitch would should make for an interesting match.

  8. wicket

    Five wickets for Dan Worrallpublished at 17:48 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Bamber b Worrall 0 (Surrey v Middlesex 199-9)

    What a beauty to complete a five-wicket haul.

    Absolutely perfect from Dan Worrall.

    Full length, moves away just a fraction to flick the top of Ethan Bamber's off stump.

  9. Postpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Kent 95 v Hants 17-0

    Wes Agar is steaming in, and almost gets Joe Weatherley to chop onto his stumps.

    Thankfully, for those of a Hampshire persuasion, it just misses and runs away to the fine-leg boundary for four.

    up for Yorkshirepublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Durham v Yorkshire 254-9

    Excellent work from Matt Fisher, who now has 27, and Mickey Edwards, 13, to earn Yorkshire a batting point.

    They had been 218-9.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:44 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Roland-Jones c Patel b Worrall 2 (Surrey v Middlesex 199-8)

    No stopping this Middlesex collapse.

    Toby Roland-Jones reaches to drive Dan Worrall and slices one to backward point.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Harmer v Hannon-Dalby 3 (Warwickshire v Essex 93-6)

    I was just typing that Simon Harmer was battling well for Essex, providing vital support for Tom Westley at the other end, but he's gone now.

    Oliver Hannon-Dalby sneaks one between bat and pad, and Harmer's off-stump is cartwheeling.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:35 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Holden c Jacks b Worrall 7 (Surrey v Middlesex 197-7)

    The Middlesex collapse continues!

    Max Holden squared up by a decent length ball from Dan Worrall, pokes at it slightly and nicks it low to second slip.

    Another good catch and a third wicket for Worrall.

    Surrey have come alive after tea and have taken 4-9 and are suddenly right on top.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Higgins c Foakes b Roach 4 (Surrey v Middlesex 197-6)

    Surrey strike again! And Kemar Roach gets his second.

    This is a big wicket too because Ryan Higgins is one of few in-form batsmen for Middlesex and the type of guy who can mount a counterattack.

    Full of length from Roach. It holds its line just enough to take a thin outside edge low through to Ben Foakes, who takes a good catch diving forward.

    Wickets falling everywhere in this final session of day one!

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Thompson b Carse 2 (Durham v Yorkshire 218-9)

    Whoops!

    Jordan Thompson shuffles way too far across his stumps, tries to flick Brydon Carse to leg, misses and sees his leg stump knocked out of the ground.

    Durham almost through Yorkshire now.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Agar c Brown b Abbott 0 (Kent 95 v Hants)

    And Kyle Abbott wraps up the Kent innings, as he finds the outside edge of Wes Agar's bat.

    A sorry showing from the home batters, amid some excellent Hampshire bowling.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Simpson c Sibley b Worrall 0 (Surrey v Middlesex 192-5)

    Surrey strike again!

    Excellent area from Dan Worrall round the wicket.

    He forces John Simpson to play and he nicks to first slip.

    Surrey have now taken 4-26 and have belatedly got into the day in helpful bowling conditions.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Qadri c Barker b Abbott 0 (Kent 94-9 v Hants)

    Another one goes.

    Hamidullah Qadri chips one straight down Keith Barker's throat, looking to hit over the top, and he's gone for a duck.

  20. Five-wicket haul for James Fullerpublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 11 May 2023

    Stewart c Brown b Fuller 14 (Kent 94-8 v Hants)

    Kent are sinking without trace at Canterbury.

    Grant Stewart flashes hard at James Fuller, but can only edge through to the gloves of Ben Brown, and Kent are eight down.

    Fuller has ripped the heart out of this Kent batting line-up.
