Luke Hemmings
BBC Sport Wales
As the day draws to a close here in Cardiff, Glamorgan move to 291-3, just nine runs short of a second bonus point. And the man, who has scored more than 11,000 runs for Glamorgan since 2015 finds the boundary.
Nottinghamshire 223-5 v Yorkshire
The new ball is flying off the bat and going for a few here.
Lyndon James flicks one off his pads down to fine leg for four.
15 runs in the two overs with the new ball.
Somerset v Surrey 302-4
Mark Church
BBC Radio London commentator
Goodness gracious that could be in the river. Lawrence got hold of that, a beautiful swing of the bat to bring up the 300. A tiring attack and Lawrence is going after them.
Kent 10-1 v Glos 229
JT Langridge tries a yorker but Sam Notheast just brings the bat down in time and squeezes it away to square leg for four runs - the first boundary of the Kent first innings.
Somerset v Surrey 295-4
Consecutive fours takes Ben Foakes to a half-century before Dan Lawrence smacks the ball into the stands for a six.
And there goes another six from Lawrence - that almost went out of the stadium!
Lancs v Durham 301-3
Emilio Gay may have gone, but Lancashire still have Mayank Agarwal to contend with.
He is 63 not out as the gift of a no-ball from spinner Noman Ali allows Durham to pass 300, giving them a second batting bonus point.
Durham could declare now. They have more than enough against this Lancashire batting line-up.

Warks 71-3 v Leics 125
Image source, ShutterstockIt's been a decent bowling effort by Leicestershire so far, after they were skittled out for 125 earlier in the day.
Ian Holland took the first two Warwickshire wickets to fall and Ben Green dismissed New Zealand's Will Young after tea.
There are a possible 20 overs left on day one - the Bears will probably be close to parity or ahead on runs by that time, so how Leicestershire would love at least another couple of wickets before the close to keep themselves in the contest.
Nottinghamshire 217-5 v Yorkshire
After the end of the 80th over, the new ball has immediately been taken by Yorkshire wicketkeeper and skipper Jonny Bairstow.
With the very first delivery of the second new ball, Lyndon James smashes Ben Coad away into the leg side for four.
Middx 157-5 v Northants 103
A confident square cut from Ryan Higgins goes to the boundary and that brings up the all-rounder's 50.
After his four-fer earlier today, Higgins has certainly earned his corn on day one of this one.
Nottinghamshire 208-5 v Yorkshire
Nicely struck pull shot by Lyndon James goes down to the vacant square leg boundary for four.
James moves on to 17*.
Reece c Edavalath b Gibbon 3 (Worcs 214 v Derbys 47-5)
It's all happening at New Road.
Luis Reece appears caught in two minds as he edges to second slip where Rehaan Edavalath finally manages to cling onto the catch at the second - or possibly third - attempt.
Derbyshire skipper Wayne Madsen is 20 not out and must be wondering what is going on at the other end.
Albert c Leaning b Unadkat (Hampshire 27-2 v Sussex 244)
Jaydev Unadkat angles one across Toby Albert and Jack Leaning, who top-scored with an attacking 78 for Sussex earlier, takes the catch at first slip.
Middx 145-5 v Northants 103
Change of bowling. Northamptonshire need something and something quick here.
In doing so, they've turned to something slow. Yuzi Chahal is on for a bit of leg spin.
Somerset v Surrey 274-4
Dan Lawrence is freeing up his arms now and is playing some expansive strokes.
This one doesn't go where he intended but nethertheless it goes away for another four to bring up the 100 partnership with Ben Foakes.
Crawley lbw Langridge 1 (Kent 1-1 v Glos 229)
JT Langridge has shown himself to be a very promising young pace bowler in recent weeks - and now he has the prized wicket of Zak Crawley.
A full delivery strikes the England opener on the pads as he shapes to play it into the leg-side and the umpire says 'you're on your way'.

Zak Crawley and Ben Compton will open for Kent.
The home side have 24 overs to face before the scheduled close and the first task will be to avoid losing wickets in that mini-session.
Compton plays out a JT Langridge maiden to start.
Nottinghamshire 201-5 v Yorkshire
Lyndon James tickles a couple into the leg side and that brings up Nottinghamshire's 200.
Somerset v Surrey 268-4
You can almost see the steam coming out of Craig Overton's ears as Dan Lawrence advances and baseball-style slaps the ball up in the air.
It's up, up and... safe as it plummets back down to earth just before the boundary rope and goes for four leaving the fielder chasing forlornly.
Nottinghamshire 196-5 v Yorkshire
A statement of intent.
Good use of the feet as Mitch Hay meets Dom Bess, back into the attack, and slashes through the off side for four runs.
Nottinghamshire's total nears 200.
Gay c Harris b Walkden 141 (Lancs v Durham 292-3)
A top-class innings - but now it's over.
Emilio Gay's 205-ball innings containing 18 fours comes to an end as he steers a ball from Ben Walkden straight to Marcus Harris st slip, and he takes a low catch.
He put on 168 for the third wicket with Mayank Agarwal, who has now been joined by Colin Ackermann, with a second batting point just a few runs away.
