Glamorgan 231-2 v Derbyshire
Nick Webb
BBC Radio WalesGlamorgan look well placed for another decent haul of batting points after Colin Ingram and Zain Ul Hassan put together a second wicket stand of 193, a county record against Derbyshire.
Ingram was the more aggressive of the two on his fluent path to his first century of the season off 146 balls, allowing Ul Hassan to build a patient knock at the other end.
Derbyshire employed plenty of short-pitched legside bowling during the afternoon without reward, until Ul Hassan, on 69, got a leading edge back to George Scrimshaw.
But the home attack still have plenty to do after the decision to bowl first, with no consistent threat offered so far.
WICKET Westley lbw b Holland 19published at 16:16 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Hampshire 120 v Essex 57-4
Hampshire are back in the ascendancy as they go to tea - with Ian Holland striking in the final over of the session.
Holland ended a 41-run stand for the fourth wicket, bringing the ball back to hit Tom Westley on the pad and the umpire's finger signalled the Essex captain's departure.
Matt Critchley is still there on 21 and the visitors trail by 63 with six wickets standing.

Lancashire v Northamptonshire 211-3
We have not said this very often this summer but Northamptonshire are making batting look easy at the moment.
Luke Procter steers away Tom Bailey's off-spinners for a couple and that sees the partnership between him and Emilio Gay reach 150.
WICKET Sibley c C Overton b Henry 3published at 16:10 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Somerset 170 v Surrey 15-2
Matt Henry strikes again for Somerset!
Good line, good length and he gets Dom Sibley edging it into the slip cordon and Craig Overton's big, safe hands do the rest.
Somerset will feel they are back in this contest.
for Emilio Gaypublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Lancashire v Northamptonshire 202-3
A lovely clip through midwicket for four is enough for Emilio Gay to reach three figures for the first time this summer.
It has taken 191 balls and included 10 fours, and he has batted very nicely.
More importantly, it is setting Northants up for a big score.
up for Essexpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Hampshire 120 v Essex 50-3
Essex will be pleased to pass 50 without any further losses, having slumped to 16-3 during that opening onslaught from Mohammad Abbas and Kyle Abbott.
Matt Critchley has looked in control, cutting James Fuller off the back foot for four and he's 16 not out, with skipper Tom Westley on 17.
Early tea as rain stops again at Edgbastonpublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Warwickshire 60, Middlesex 115-6
On hovers the throbbing hover cover again at Edgbaston as a little rain start to fall.
Last time, the hover cover did oot get as far as the wicket befoe it stopped again.
This time it has been hovered into place - and tea has been taken.
for Luke Procterpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Lancashire v Northamptonshire 193-3
A captain's knock from Luke Procter after coming in at 59-3 as he tickles a couple down off Luke Wells.
That brings up a 50 off 139 balls with five boundaries.
This is his fourth 50 of the summer - can the Northants skipper and ex-Lancashire player go on and make his first century?
Hundred up for Middlesexpublished at 15:58 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Warwickshire 60, Middlesex 104-6
Josh De Caires carves OHD away though the covers to bring the Middlesex 100 up, followed by a gorgeous off drive.
The sort of shots even his dad, Michael Atherton, would have been proud of.
The visitors now lead by 40.

Somerset 170 v Surrey 9-1
County cricket gets knocked a lot but here we have two Test openers in Dom Sibley and Tom Latham (batting at three) facing two Test bowlers in Matt Henry and Craig Overton.
Surrey's batters know they have to get through this opening spell.
The Somerset pair know they have to get a couple more wickets to bring their team back into the match.

Notts 190-4 v Kent
To be strictly accurate, the rain has prevented play from restarting - as the teams were already off the field for an early tea.
The players can enjoy a second cuppa for now, because the covers are on...

Hampshire 120 v Essex 33-3
With no disrespect to Hampshire's change bowlers Ian Holland and James Fuller, Essex will be relieved that Mohammad Abbas and Kyle Abbott are taking a breather after seven overs apiece.
Matt Critchley has just chalked up a rare Essex boundary, crashing Fuller to the cover fence and he's seven not out, with Tom Westley on 11.
First six of the day at Edgbastonpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Warwickshire 60, Middlesex 86-6
After 16 wickets in the day, we now have our first six.
Mir Hamza drops one in short, Higgins tilts and whips him away over midwicket into the almost empty Hollies Stand.
II's Higgins' way of celebrating as he is now the top scorer in the match.
He is the first to get past 20.
WICKET Burns c C Overton b Henry 0published at 15:44 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Somerset 170 v Surrey 0-1
Rory Burns can only survive five deliveries against the new ball.
Excellent ball from Matt Henry angled across the left-handed Surrey skipper and he is pouched in the big hands of Craig Overton at second slip.
Ideal start for the Cider Boys.

Somerset 170 v Surrey 0-0
Tea has been taken in between innings at Taunton and the Surrey openers have made their way to the middle.

Tea at Old Traffordpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Lancashire v Northamptonshire 191-3
The middle session concludes with Lancashire opening bowler Tom Bailey sending down an over of off spin.
That says everything about how Northants have bossed the session, adding 117 runs without losing a wicket.
Emilio Gay is four runs short of a century and captain Luke Procter needs one for a 50.
WICKET - Simpson c Burgess b Hamza 18published at 15:40 British Summer Time 25 July 2023
Warwickshire 60, Middlesex 77-6
Great bowling change for the Bears as Mir Hamza appears to get an inside edge and John Simpson is gone for 18, along with Jack Davies, the joint highest scorer of the day.
It is not the first disputed decision of the day, following a tickle down the legside OHD had turned down earlier.
But umpire Rob Bailey has given this one - and it's in the book.

Runs coming a little more quickly now as Middlesex edge into the lead at Edgbaston.

That's a double wicket maiden for the Hampshire seamer as Paul Walter departs for a third-ball duck, with Ben Brown taking the catch again.
Suddenly that total of 120 is looking a decent one...
