  1. 'Notts have been blown away'published at 18:04 British Summer Time 6 April

    Notts 293 all out v Essex 253

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    Nottinghamshire have been blown away here.

    Essex have really, really come back strongly.

  2. wicket

    WICKET - Aspinwall c Overton b Steel 0published at 18:04 British Summer Time 6 April

    Lancs 184-7 v Surrey

    Cameron Steel gets Tom Aspinwall to prod outside off-stump, and the ball flies straight into the bucket-like hands of Jamie Overton at slip.

    Collapses all over the shop in the last hour.

  3. Postpublished at 18:02 British Summer Time 6 April

    Warwks 256-4 v Worcs 360

    Mousley drives on the off side and is close to being caught at short extra, but there's no doubt about the quality of his next shot, driven all along the ground through cover for four.

    The last ball of the over is leg side and left alone.

  4. Postpublished at 18:01 British Summer Time 6 April

    Lancs 184-6 v Surrey

    Cameron Steel hits Tom Hartley on the pad and appeals. Umpire Paul Pollard lifts his finger...towards his eye to wipe something away.

    Not out.

  5. wicket

    WICKET - Bruce c Foakes b Lawrence 17published at 17:58 British Summer Time 6 April

    Lancs 181-6 v Surrey

    Dan Lawrence gets his fourth wicket with a lovely off break that takes a slight edge off Tom Bruce's bat, snaffled with aplomb by Ben Foakes.

  6. Postpublished at 17:57 British Summer Time 6 April

    Warwks 250-4 v Worcs 360

    Jacob Bethell gets a no ball first up and that takes Warwickshire to 250 in the 66th.

    He blocks out the rest of the over.

  7. wicket

    WICKET - Paterson b Porter 4published at 17:55 British Summer Time 6 April

    Notts 293 all out v Essex 253

    Wow, now that is a collapse and no mistake.

    Jamie Porter breaches Dane Paterson's defences to end the Nottinghamshire innings.

    Notts have lost six wickets for 34 runs in 10 overs, and they lead by 40. There could be another hour of play yet, although it looks murky at Trent Bridge.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Barnard LBW b Finch 89published at 17:53 British Summer Time 6 April

    Warwks 248-4 v Worcs 360

    Out! Worcestershire and Adam Finch strikes!

    Ed Barnard is distraught to be given out, struck on the pad with what appeared in real time to be a ball that nipped back in off the seam.

    Struck in the knee roll in front of middle and leg.

    A dramatic pause before the umpire raises his finger.

    Jacob Bethell to bat now.

  9. Postpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 6 April

    Warwks 248-3 v Worcs 360

    Holder drops short and Mousley pulls square for a single.

    Barnard drives on the back foot - and that's a great stop at short extra cover by Rob Jones.

    14 overs left tonight and Worcestershire need at east one more wicket by stumps.

  10. wicket

    Hat-trick for Sam Cookpublished at 17:51 British Summer Time 6 April

    Pennington lbw b Cook 0

    Superb stuff from the Essex seamer as he traps Dillon Pennington in front to secure a hat-trick that leaves Notts on 288-9.

  11. wicket

    WICKET - Hutton b Cook 0published at 17:49 British Summer Time 6 April

    Notts 288-8 v Essex 253

    Right through Brett Hutton's defences, trims the bails and Cook is on a hat-trick!

  12. Postpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 6 April

    Warwks 247-3 v Worcs 360

    Change of bowling for the Pears as Adam Finch replaces his captain, D'Oliveira.

    Barnard waits in the crease and tries to push the ball away through the off side but there's no run.

    He gets hold of the fifth ball though and steers it to long leg for a single to reach 88.

  13. wicket

    WICKET - James lbw b Cook 8published at 17:47 British Summer Time 6 April

    Notts 288-7 v Essex 253

    Sam Cook traps Lyndon James in front with the second new ball and Nottinghamshire's hopes of a big lead seem to be disappearing.

  14. 50 runs

    for Mark Stonemanpublished at 17:44 British Summer Time 6 April

    Middlesex 107-1 v Glamorgan 620-3 dec

    A powerful on-drive off James Harris gets Mark Stoneman four runs and a half-century.

    Stoneman and the rest of the Middlesex top-order were short of runs (in Division One) last summer, so this is a reassuring start to the new season.

  15. Postpublished at 17:44 British Summer Time 6 April

    Yorks 10-0 v Leics 354

    Yorkshire's openers Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean get the Yorkshire reply under way at a sun-drenched Headingley.

  16. Postpublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 6 April

    Warwks 245-3 v Worcs 360

    Two more runs to Barnard, steered through backward point off the bowling of Holder.

    One more turned round the corner and he's on 87.

    Mousley gets a bit of width and pushes with a straight bat into cover for two more.

    It's starting to look a bit easy for the Bears now.

  17. Bad light stops play in Canterburypublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 6 April

    Kent 284 v Somerset

    The Somerset openers have been delayed in coming out to the crease by bad light.

    Maybe the weather that has ended the day early in Hove is moving eastwards.

  18. Postpublished at 17:42 British Summer Time 6 April

    Lancs 160-5 v Surrey

    Tom Hartley safely pats away the hat-trick ball - the England left-arm spinner made some useful runs in India, and Lancashire will need to him to conjure up something tonight.

  19. 'The Joey Evison show'published at 17:42 British Summer Time 6 April

    Kent 284 all out v Somerset

    Alex Hoad
    BBC Radio Kent commentator

    Joey Evison has holed out into deep mid-wicket for 85, a really impressive knock.

    It's been the Joey Evison show this afternoon because Kent were staring down the barrel at 115-5 early in the afternoon session.

  20. wicket

    WICKET - Hurst lbw b Hurst 0published at 17:40 British Summer Time 6 April

    Lancs 160-5 v Surrey

    Matty Hurst goes first ball, padding up horribly and plumb LBW.

    Dan Lawrence is on a hat-trick!

    Yes, you read that right.
