Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 9-0
Single to Josh Thomas off the fifth ball of the Ben Coad over.

Lawrence c Tribe b ul-Hassan 9 (Surrey 59-4 v Glamorgan 132)
Great work by Glamorgan.

Tom Lammonby and Josh Thomas will get this innings started.
Ben Coad will bowl to Thomas from the Kirkstall Lane End.
Surrey 58-3 v Glamorgan 132
Ryan Patel unfurls his favourite cover drive from a delivery by Ray Toole but doesn't time this one well enough to reach the rope. The Surrey pair canter through for three runs, though.
Leicestershire 37-3 v Hampshire 214
Nick Kelly gets a single off Kyle Abbott and strikes tow fours in the next over, bowled by Scott Currie - both pulled through square leg.

It's that man again!
James Anderson takes his and Lancashire's second wicket to reduce Kent to 16-2 early on at Canterbury.

Rishi Patel looks to defend Kyle Abbott into the leg side and gets a leading edge through to Scott Currie low at second slip.

Sussex v Nottinghamshire 137-6
Image source, Adrian Harms/BBC SussexNottinghamshire survive the final over before tea, bowled by spinner Jack Carson, without further damage.
They added 68 runs during the afternoon but lost three wickets in the process, including in-form Joe Clarke, who fell to Jaydev Unadkat for 36.
Liam Patterson-White is 14 not out and is now carrying a lot of responsibility if Notts are to get anywhere near a score that will earn them a batting point or two.
Tom Price has been the pick of the Sussex bowlers, taking 2-22 from 11 overs.
Cliff c Thomas b Ball 4 - Yorkshire 212 v Somerset
Jake Ball wraps up the innings and finishes with 3-49.
Ben Cliff is back on the crease trying to clip the ball leg side and he's chipped a catch to Josh Thomas.
Somerset have dragged this contest back to parity at least since Yorkshire reached 168-5, with Jonny Bairstow dropped twice this afternoon on 27 and 44.
The Yorkshire captain top scored with 79.
Back in 10 minutes.
The Durham run spree continues at the Riverside and they are now 325-5 in the 70th over, with Mayank Agarwal 125 not out and Ollie Robinson on 36.
Middlesex are trying to eke out as many runs as possible in Bristol after those two run outs just before tea - they are 233-8 against Gloucestershire in the 68th over.

Vintage James Anderson as he finds the edge of Ben Compton's bat to get Lancashire's first wicket of the contest.

Yorkshire 212-9 v Somerset
Ben Cliff is off the mark second ball with four driven through cover off Migael Pretorius.
Can the Yorkshire tail wag from here?
Northants v Derbyshire 240-6
Northants continue to draw a blank as they try to find the formula to dismiss either Wayne Madsen or Ben Aitchison.
The latter has just moved to a half-century.
Durham 314-5 v Worcs
The final session is under way at the Riverside and two leg byes secure a second batting bonus point for Durham.
Brett D'Oliveira has now brought himself on to bowl and Ollie Robinson hits three boundaries in one over.
Jani lbw Snater 25 (Essex 134 v Warwickshire 63-4)
Vansh Jani snaps a shot into the turf and it bounces up and over the head of bowler Shane Snater to run away for four.
But two balls later Snater gets his revenge as he traps Jani lbw for 25 to break the promising partnership being built with Sam Hain.
The Bears will have wanted to keep Jani and Hain together for a lot longer than that.
Bairstow c Gregory b Pretorius 79 - Yorkshire 207-9 v Somerset
Dropped on 27 and 44 but gone this time.
Somerset have the key wicket and a third bowling bonus point.
Jonny Bairstow lofts a drive off Migael Pretorius to Lewis Gregory at mid off.
We now have two Bens in the middle, as Cliff joins Coad.
Yorkshire 207-8 v Somerset
Jonny Bairstow doesn't get the single this time and Ben Coad sees out a Jake Ball over, missing an attempted drive at one stage - and possibly playing inside the line on purpose to the sixth ball.
Maiden over.
Leicestershire 21-1 v Hampshire 214
Rehan Ahmed is forward to Kyle Abbott, glancing the bowler to fine leg for four runs.
Rishi Patel gets a four of his own off James Fuller with a pull over square leg, going back and across smartly.
Surrey 51-3 v Glamorgan 132
Image source, ShutterstockDan Lawrence takes a single off Ray Toole from the final ball of the afternoon session at the Oval.
Glamorgan collapsed to 132 all out after lunch - with Auqib Nabi taking 4-36 - but it has not been plain sailing for Surrey with the bat.
Dom Sibley fell to early to Timm van der Gugten and two wickets for Zain-ul-Hassan, including Ollie Pope for a first-ball duck, have lifted Glamorgan spirits.
Lawrence is six not out at the interval, with Ryan Patel - who has played a couple of glorious cover drives for fours - on 17.
Really unfortunate for Pope there; looks an awful lot like it's moved past his bat and clipped his thigh pad. When it's not going your way, it's really not going your way.
