Glorious from Will Rhodes, who drives a full delivery from Nick Potts back past the stumps at the bowler's end and away for four.

Captain - and current partner- Alex Lees liked that one and has a quiet word with him mid-itch to tell him how much.

Notts Championship debutant Mohammad Ali does not have the quickest run up, but boy can he get some pace from his shoulders and action.

The Pakistani looks pretty nippy in his first over and seems to be getting quicker with every delivery.

James Rew does well to see off the first five balls before playing and missing outside off from the final ball of the over.

An ominous maiden from a Somerset perspective.

Here comes Mohammad Ali for Nottinghamshire then on his County Championship debut.

The Pakistan seamer is into the bowling attack.

Despite losing three wickets in the first hour, Northamptonshire are rattling along at a good rate - almost four and a half per over so far.

Nathan McSweeney has started to find some rhythm now, following up that boundary with two more fours from his next over and he's on 14, while Saif Zaib has faced 15 balls and scored the same number of runs.

Nottinghamshire v Somerset 45-2

Right-hand seamer Dillon Pennington is coming over the wicket to left-hand bat Jordan Hermann.

He strikes Hermann on the pads and the Notts field like the look of it. Up they go but not out is the call. Looked to be pitching outside leg.

Hermann then goes absolutely huge from a half-volley, swiping hard outside off stump and middling it over wide mid-off for six.

Pennington replies with a beauty to end the over, just beating the outside edge.

Opening bowler Fergus O'Neill continues for Notts and Somerset pick up two from the over.

James Rew tickles a single into the legside before Jordan Hermann is struck on the pads and they can come through for one more.

Although Sam Robson hit the first ball of the day to the boundary, it's been hard work for Middlesex's batters at New Road.

Just 25 runs have come from the first 17 overs.

Middlesex suffered a blow before the start of play with news that Ryan Higgins is likely to be out of action for a couple of months due to a wrist injury.

Martin Andersson is summoned to bowl his first over of the game at the Riverside and Will Rhodes pushes for a single as Durham reach 50 in the 17th.

Dillon Pennington is into the attack for Nottinghamshire to replace Brett Hutton.

Three decent line and length balls to start before James Rew nudges into the legside for one.

Jordan Hermann is then quick to pounce on one off his thigh pad, tickling down to fine leg for four. A popular spot for a boundary so far for Somerset.

Hermann is onto 13*, while Rew is 9*.

Sussex v Glamorgan 42-3

Should have been two in the over for Tom Price but Tom Alsop fails to hang onto a chance at first slip and new batter Colin Ingram survives.

How costly a miss will that prove to be?

Northants 51-3 v Glos

No doubt a sigh of relief for Nathan McSweeney, who is finally off the mark and does it with a classic cover drive to the boundary as Will Williams strays outside off stump.

That raises the home side's 50, although they've lost their top three batters in getting there, with the ball doing a fair bit for the Gloucestershire seamers.

Matt Taylor has already had a couple of decent lbw appeals turned down, jagging the ball back into the left-handed Saif Zaib.

James Rew has his first boundary of the morning as he flicks it down to fine leg delicately, making the most of a rare stray from a usually tight line so far by Fergus O'Neill.

Rew then clips hard to deep mid-wicket but it's cut off by Mohammad Ali and Somerset can only add one more to the total.

But Jordan Hermann then gets in on the action, flicking off his legs to the square leg boundary. Brett Hutton tries to make the diving stop but can only succeed in pushing it onto the rope for four.

A good over for Somerset with nine from it.

"Probably the shot of the morning so far," says BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms as Kiran Carlson off-drives Tom Price for four.

The Glamorgan batter moves into double figures.

There is plenty of movement out there for these Notts bowlers, both through the air and with the seam off the pitch.

Another tight over from Brett Hutton to Jordan Hermann and that's a maiden.

Yorkshire 52-0 v Warwickshire

After being put in Yorkshire have got through the early part of the morning session pretty comfortably at Scarborough..

After a cautious start Will Luxton and Adam Lyth have completed a 50 partnership in 13 overs.

Luxton brought up the landmark with his sixth boundary, a lovely cover drive. Olly Hannon-Dalby has T20 style bowling figures, his first two overs going for 20.

James Rew is at the crease earlier than he'd probably have liked to be for Somerset.

He picks up a couple, guiding it down to third man from Fergus O'Neill.

But O'Neill yet again beats the outside edge of a Somerset bat with the next delivery The field goes up but the appeal is short lived and not out is the decision.

O'Neill continues to hammer away just outside off and Rew lets the remaining three balls of the over pass him by.
