    for Chaharpublished at 14:48 BST

    Surrey 80-9 v Yorks 185

    That's a lovely pick up from Rohan Chahar over square leg off Ben Coad.

    Fisher c Hill b Coad 12 (Surrey 73-9 v Yorks 185)

    Surrey almost done! They face a first innings deficit of around 100.

    Matt Fisher's resistance doesn't last long as he edges to be caught behind and Ben Coad claims his third wicket.

  3. 6 runs

    for Fisherpublished at 14:42 BST

    Surrey 72-8 v Yorks 285

    Matthew Fisher has had enough.

    He lifts a Matthew Revis delivery behind him for six and then adds a four later in the over.

  4. Postpublished at 14:42 BST

    Essex 121-2 v Sussex 275

    Shot of the day from Charlie Allison who gives it the full flamingo to despatch Dom Goodman to the square leg boundary.

    Wonderfullyl flashy stuff from the Essex man who moves stylishly on to 32.

  5. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:37 BST

    Nabi c Whiteman b Coad 1 (Surrey 62-8 v Yorks 185)

    This is not the Surrey side we're used to seeing in recent years.

    Auqib Nabi gets a leading edge off Ben Coad and the ball is skied to Sam Whiteman at mid off.

  6. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:35 BST

    Compton c Lategan b Taylor 0 (Kent 238 & 11-1 v Worcestershire 217)

    Poor shot from Ben Compton.

    Tom Taylor bowls it very wide of the left-hander's off stump but instead of watching it go through to Henry Cullen, Compton pushes at it a long way from his body.

    It just loops out to Dan Lategan at cover point. Catching practice really.

    Not the best start for the home side.

  7. 50 runs

    50 for Haynespublished at 14:31 BST

    Notts 203-5

    Nottinghamshire's Jack Haynes raises bat after scoring 50Image source, Shuterstock

    Spin has been introduced for the first time with the bowling of Rehan Ahmed.

    Jack Haynes brings up a classy and watchful half-century with a punch into the off-side.

    It's been a good innings from the Notts man, who has steadied the ship nicely after his side lost four wickets in the morning session.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:30 BST

    Lawes c Bess b Revis 1 (Surrey 61-7 v Yorks 185)

    What a catch from Dom Bess!

    Tom Lawes plays a wild shot and the ball flies above Bess' head at third slip. Bess stretches up his right hand and holds on.

    Matthew Revis now has 2 for 8

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:28 BST

    Bracey c Guest b Andersson 133 (Gloucs 207-8)

    James Bracey has to depart after an exceptional 113.

    He gets a fine edge through to Brooke Guest off Martin Andersson.

    Gloucs now 8 down.

  10. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:26 BST

    Flintoff b Sharma 2 (Middx 247 v Lancs 35-4)

    Rocky Flintoff has played all around that and lost his off stump as Lancs' wobble gathers oscillation.

    Naavya Sharma, headband on looking for all the world ike a Bon Jovi tribute act, has sent this down at not more than medium pace.

    But Flintoff has just got his line wrong and a hint of movement has proved enough.

  11. 200 up for Gloucspublished at 14:26 BST

    Glouc 205-7

    Gloucestershire reach the 200 mark off 72 overs. James Bracey called for grit from his teammates to reach the 200 mark, and we have certainly seen that today.

    Bracey is 113* and has spear-headed the innings, but has also had crucial support from Ed Middleton (17), Sai Kishore (20) and Will Williams (27*).

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:25 BST

    Barnard b Abbott 8 (Hants v Warks 285-5)

    Kyle Abbott strikes again with the new ball. Ed Barnard plays down the wrong line and the bails are knocked over.

    In his 40th year Abbott remains one of the best bowlers in the land.

  13. 50 partnership at Trent Bridgepublished at 14:23 BST

    Notts 193-5

    Liam Patterson-White pulls the ball away for NottinghamshireImage source, Shutterstock

    A back-foot punch for a single by Liam Patterson-White brings up the 50 partnership between Jack Haynes (47*) and Liam Patterson-White (20*).

    An important partnership for the defending champions, who have reached the half-century off 70 balls.

    Patterson-White's development into a genuine all-rounder over the last 24 months has been welcome for Notts.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:21 BST

    Vasconcelos c Robinson b Stokes 30 (Northants 62-4 v Durham 205)

    A bit of a waft from Ricardo Vasconcelos. Ben Stokes has a couple.

    Loose outside the off stump from the left-hander. Easy for Ollie Robinson behind the sticks.

    205 looks a bit far away all of a sudden...

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:21 BST

    Harris lbw b Higgins 15 (Middx 247 v Lancs 32-3)

    Not much doubt about this for all that Marcus Harris goes walkabout in order to alter the optics.

    This is right in front of middle and leg and Ryan Higgins has a first wicket.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:19 BST

    Pope c sub (Cliff) b Revis 21 (Surrey 56-6 v Yorks 185)

    A real bonus for Yorkshire.

    Ollie Pope, who had played some fine shots, chases a wide one from Matthew Revis and plays it straight into the covers where sub fielder Ben Cliff takes a straight forward catch.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:19 BST

    Nicholls c Ingram b Crane 19 (Somerset 212-4 v Glam 194)

    Henry Nicholls is looking to sweep from well outside off and takes a top edge on to his pad which loops up to first slip where Colin Ingram takes the catch.

    Somerset have wobbled here from 208-2 with a Tom Lammonby century looking written in the stars, they have lost two in six balls.

  18. Kent begin second inningspublished at 14:16 BST

    Kent 0-0 & 238 v Worcestershire 217

    After securing a 21-run lead thanks to an excellent morning and post-lunch burst, Kent safely negotiate the first over of their second innings from Tom Taylor.

    After Worcestershire were 125-2 yesterday, the home side would have bitten yours, mine, and probably everyone at the St.Lawrence Ground arms off to be in this position.

    Yes, that's a lot of arms but they have a great platform now.

    Over to messers Crawley and Compton.

  19. wicket

    Lammonby c & b Douthwaite 95 (Somerset 208-3 v Glam 194)

    Tom Lammonby is dismissed for 95 against Glamorgan

    You could not make this up.

    Twice reprieved with no balls when twice caught behind - the first called for three fielders behind square on the leg side on 91 and the second when Dan Douthwaite overstepped.

    Given a chance to reach a first century of his campaign on a silver platter he has had his head scrambled and gifted a leading edge back to Douthwaite.

    That is now five half centuries unconverted from Lammonby who had looked a million dollars until he was into his 90s.

  20. Lammonby escapes again!published at 14:11 BST

    Somerset 208-2 v Glam 194

    Tom Lammonby has been reprieved by a no ball on 91 and now he has survived again off a no ball from Dan Douthwaite on 94.

    Escape by three fielders behind square when nicking off to Douthwaite in the last over, he has now edged behind only for the bowler to be called for overstepping.

    If Lammonby does not make a hundred here the gods will be in mischievous form.
