  1. Lunch at Canterbury

    Kent 446 v Notts 15-1

    Kent have made a promising start to the reply with Jack Leaning's fine catch ousting Ben Slater from just the third ball of the innings.

    The hosts did secure a fourth batting bonus points this morning but they rather collapsed from an overnight 387-4 to 446 all-out.

    More inroads are the key in the day's remaining two sessions while the visitors will seek to make the most of the sun and the still decent-looking deck before any deterioration begins.

  2. Lunch at Old Trafford

    Lancs 0-0 v Middx 194

    Weather permitting - play will resume at 1:10.

    But it is a bit gloomy out there, sorry.

  3. Lunch at Hove

    Sussex 262 & 7-0 v Leicestershire 108

    An astonishing morning.

    Sussex blitzed Leicestershire, skittling them for 108 just over 90 minutes after the visitors resumed on 68-2.

    Ari Karvelas finished with 4-14 from 12 overs with Jaydev Unadkat collecting 3-23. Rishi Patel's 48 was the only real defiance.

    Sussex opted not to enforce the follow-on, despite a lead of 154, but will surely seek to bat the visitors out of the game in the next few sessions.

  4. Glos 377 v Derbys 6-0

    Harry Came gets his first run off the fifth ball of the over, guided wide of third slip.

    Reece sees out the over and Dom Goodman concedes four at the other end as Came drives through point off the back foot.

    One more run is deflected through long leg.

  5. wicket

    NORTHANTS ALL OUT FOR 250

    White b Hannon-Dalby 0

    Warwickshire's Oliver Hannon-Dalby strikes again.

    A seventh wicket for the beanpole Bears paceman as Jack White plays on.

    And that is a career-best 7-46 for OHD!!!

    It eclipses his 6-33 for the Bears against Gloucestershire at Bristol in the Bob Willis Trophy in 2020.

    His previous County Championship best was 6-40 against Kent Edgbaston last summer.

    Incrediibly, they are not having lunch. That has been put back to 12.40 because of the earlier half-hour rain break.

    Kraigg Brathwaite and Rob Yates are padding up to face just one over before lunch is served. It seems lunacy, but . . .

  6. wicket

    WICKET Kerrigan lbw b Hannon-Dalby 2

    Northants 250-9 v Warwickshire

    OHD takes his sixth wicket as Simon Kerrigan is lbw next ball.

    He has only twice taken a 'six-fer' before.

    And then . . .

  7. 250 runs

    Northants get a batting point

    Northants 250-8 v Warwickshire

    Northants claim only their fourth batting bonus point of the season with Ben Sanderson's clip through mid on.

    But it comes at a cost . . .

  8. Derbyshire batting at Bristol

    Glos 377 v Derbys 0-0

    A good morning for Derbyshire, wrapping up the Gloucestershire innings from an overnight 333-6 and denying the hosts two batting points.

    Harry Came and Luis Reece will start the innings.

    Josh Shaw will bowl from the Ashley Down Road End to Harry Came.

  9. Kent 446 v Notts 7-1

    A little loose from Nathan Gilchrist, who is taking the other end in his first Championship appearance since April.

    Steven Mullaney tucks in with gusto, leaning back and cutting the short, wide delivery past point for a boundary.

  10. wicket

    WICKET Slater c Leaning b Hogan 0

    Kent 446 v Notts 0-1

    Third ball. Ben Slater follows Michael Hogan's short and wide delivery but can only offer a low catch to Jack Leaning at second slip.

    A perfect start for the hosts. Slater spends a long time looking to the skies in search of divine intervention.

    You don't get those back, sadly.

    Skipper Steven Mullaney is the new man.

  11. Sussex 262 & 0-0 v Leicestershire 108

    Sussex have chosen not to enforce the follow-on and Tom Haines and Tom Clark have begun their second innings, with a lead of 154 of course.

    Chris Wright takes the new ball for the shell-shocked Foxes.

  12. Kent 446 v Notts 0-0

    Ben Slater and Haseeb Hameed stride out to begin the Notts reply.

    Michael Hogan takes the first over in the glorious Garden of England sunshine.

  13. wicket

    WICKET Goodman c Guest b Dal

    Glos 377 v Derbys

    The Gloucester innings ends eight balls after the rain delay.

    Dom Goodman is forward to defend and gets a thin edge through to the keeper.

    Anuj Dal finishes with career best figures of 23.1-4-69-6.

  14. DURHAM ARE PROMOTED

    Not bad for a day-off...

    Leicestershire's capitulation is good news for Division Two leaders Durham who have mathematically sealed at least a top-two finish.

    They will have loftier ambitions, of course.

  15. rain stops play

    Rain stops play at Old Trafford

    Lancs 0-0 v Middx 194

    Sorry, folks. As you were. The heavens have opened over the Pennines and the covers are coming on.

    Told you to bring a brolly!

  16. wicket

    WICKET Salisbury c Haines b Unadkat 0

    Sussex 262 v Leicestershire 108

    From 68-2 at 10.30 this morning to 108 all out just 97 minutes later.

    Matt Salisbury is the last man to fall, clipping Jaydev Unadkat into the leg side, where the ball loops to Tom Haines.

    Leicestershire trail by 154 runs.

    Will Sussex enforce the follow-on?

  17. Play resumes at Nevil Road

    Glos 376-9 v Derbys

    80 overs left in the day's play after that rain delay.

    Anuj Dal will complete his 23rd over. One ball left.

    Luke Charlesworth facing.

  18. wicket

    WICKET Taylor c Hain b Hannon-Dalby 10

    Northants 233-8 v Warwickshire

    Five wickets for Oliver Hannon-Dalby!!!

    Tom Taylor edges OHD's third ball after the restart and Sam Hain moves to his left to take the catch at second slip.

    It is the 12th 'five-fer of OHD's career - but his first this season and only his fourth at Edgbaston.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Chahal c Moores b Hutton 0

    Kent 446 v Notts

    All over. Three wickets fall in the final six balls.

    Debutant Yuzvendra Chahal edges his second ball behind to Tom Moores for his fourth catch.

    Brett Hutton joins Lyndon James, Dane Paterson and Calvin Harrison with two wickets apiece.

    Kent now set out trying to take wickets for bowling bonus points as they seek to close the gap to Middlesex.

  20. Back underway in Brum

    Northants 233-7 (90 overs) v Warwickshire

    After a 27-minute rain break, at the cost of eight overs, they are back on in Birmingham as Chris Rushworth completes his rudely interrupted over.

    OHD to continue from the City End.
