    WICKETpublished at 14:08 BST

    Thomas LBW Hill 0 (Surrey 44-5 v Yorks 185)

    Surrey five down and George Hill has his second of the session.

    Adam Thomas is hit on the back pad and the umpire raises his finger immediately.

  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:07 BST

    Jani c Brown b Abbott 2 (Hants v Warks 269-4)

    Hampshire delay taking the new ball to give spinner Andrew Neal one more over.

    But tbey strike as soon as they claim it and Kyle Abbott has his second wicket.

    Vansh Jani hangs his bat out and is caught behind

  3. 100 runs

    100 for Bracey!published at 14:05 BST

    James Bracey has scored well over 50% of the runs in this Gloucestershire innings

    James Bracey brings up his 20th first-class century scampering a two off a well-controlled pull from a short Ben Aitchison delivery.

    He reaches the landmark off 148 balls.

    A spectacular innings under pressure for his side, he has been a leading light in a forgettable season for Gloucestershire.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:04 BST

    Westley b Carson 17 (Essex 78-2 v Sussex 275)

    Tom Westley has gone down on one knee in an effort to sweep Jack Carson to the rope but has missed and lost his bails as the ball sneaks through to hit middle.

  5. Let off for Lammonbypublished at 14:03 BST

    Somerset 201-2 v Glam 194

    Tom Lammonby has nicked off to Dan Douthwaite and starts to walk off, stranded nine short of his century but the umpire has signalled a no ball.

    What has happened is that Glam have allowed square leg to drift just behind the crease line making it three behind square on the leg side.

    Square leg umpire Michael Gough has signalled it and replays show he was right.

    Lammonby cannot believe his luck and he has another chance to try and reach his century.

  6. 50 runs

    50 for Sam Hainpublished at 14:00 BST

    Hants v Warks 265-3

    Sam Hain turns one around his pads for two to bring up his half century.

    He's had to do plenty of running, he's only scored three boundaries.

    He was dropped on 32 by Tony Albert who, alas puts down another chance at slip when Hain's on 52.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:00 BST

    Finch lbw b Hasan Mahmud 7 (Kent 238 v Worcestershire 217)

    Won't see a more plumb one today.

    Hasan Mahmud puts on on a length, pitching middle and off, slight angle in, hits Adam Finich just below the knee roll. It's clattering into middle.

    Finch and the unbeaten Ben Allison are leaving it.

    Worcestershire will feel they've let that all slip away.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:58 BST

    McSweeney lbw b Stokes 3 (Northants 37-3 v Durham 205)

    Looks marginal. But it's out.

    Nathan McSweeney's not sure and he might have a case.

    Angled in by Ben Stokes in that usual way and leg stump is almost visible as the ball hits McSweeney's front pad.

    You'd refer that for sure if you could but you can't and he's got to go.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:55 BST

    Foakes c Bess b Hill 9 (Surrey 42-4 v Yorks 185)

    Big wicket this.

    Ben Foakes has to play at a testing delivery from George Hill and Dom Bess takes a good low catch at slip.

  10. dropped catch

    Elgar dropped on 25published at 13:51 BST

    Essex 65-1 v Sussex 275

    Tom Haines gets a hand to a well-struck punch from Dean Elgar at short midwicket but can't hang on. That would have been a superb grab.

    He moves into third slip and the ball follows him off the edge of Tom Westley's bat, again off Ari Karvelas, but not sure whether that one actually carried.

    if it did it would have been half an inch off the dirt.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:48 BST

    Harrison c Agarwal b Parkinson 4 (Northants 28-2 v Durham 205)

    Top edge. Calvin Harrison knew immediately.

    We've seen some wickets fall to ones that have ragged wildly. This one doesn't but does enough to take the outside portion of Harrison's full-bodied slog-sweep.

    Up, up, and away it goes. Mayank Agarwal has all the time in the world at cover point to wait for it as it comes down.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:48 BST

    Yates LBW Neal 109 (Hants v Warks 256-3)

    Spinner Andrew Neal strikes with the old ball.

    He pins Rob Yates back after turning the ball in the rough.

    A great innings from Yates who put on 94 with Sam Hain.

  13. "New ball make or break" - Dawsonpublished at 13:47 BST

    Hants v Warks 256-2

    Liam Dawson on BBC commentary, with the new ball due in five overs:

    "This new ball is going to be absolutely crucial to open this game up.

    It'll be make or break. If we don't make inroads with that new ball it's going to be very hard to win this game."

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:43 BST

    Swanepoel c Dudgeon b Milnes 6 (Kent 238 v Worcestershire 208-9)

    A slap to point. Still 30 short.

    Canny from Matt Milnes who's put one wide of the slot in an attempt to draw Beyers Swanepoel into something.

    The South African responds with something wild - throwing his hands, armchair and bag of spanners at it. Which is fine if you miss the fielder.

    He doesn't. Keith Dudgeon holds on well.

    Kent nearly there.

  15. Postpublished at 13:40 BST

    Surrey 33-3 v Yorks 185

    It's not been a batter's game at The Oval but that's a glorious shot from Ollie Pope.

    Straight through long off for four, only Surrey's fifth boundary in 15 overs.

  16. Back out at Southamptonpublished at 13:38 BST

    Hants v Warks 251-2

    Frustrating already for Hampshire after lunch as Ricardo Fuller finds Sam Hain's edge.

    The first flies past a diving slip, the second goes through along the ground.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:35 BST

    Singh c Duke b Helm 0 (Middx 247 v Lancs 3-2)

    Middlesex's players celebrate a wicketImage source, Shutterstock

    That is a great ball to get second up and it is two in three for Tom Helm.

    Harry Singh has to consider himself unfortunate because this spits up off the pitch and leaves him, grazing the shoulder of his bat and going through to Harry Duke behind the stumps.

    A great start for Middx and a bad one for the visitors.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:34 BST

    Jennings lbw b Helm 2 (Middx 247 v Lancs 3-1)

    No dispute from Keaton Jennings who, to be fair, generally accepts decisions with good grace, and Tom Helm has the breakthough, beating the forward push to hit the pad.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13:32 BST

    Verreynne 8 c Gumbs b Davey (Notts 143-5)

    Kyle Verreynne walks off for Nottinghamshire after getting outImage source, Shutterstock

    Kyle Verreynne departs cheaply for eight, caught at second slip by Sheridon Gumbs to give Josh Davey his third.

    The Notts bowlers might fancy a bowl on this pitch.

  20. Underway at Northamptonpublished at 13:30 BST

    Northants 23-1 v Durham 205

    Callum Parkinson is on with his left-arm tweakers.

    On this surface they may soon turn into cricketing grenades.

    Northants need to be very careful.
