  2. Good morning

    Groundstaff at Grace Road, LeicesterShutterstock

    Warwickshire threw down the gauntlet to title rivals Somerset and Nottinghamshire with their emphatic two-day win over Glamorgan in Cardiff.

    It is now up to them to respond and Somerset will be confident of a win at Leicester as they start day three 372 runs ahead.

    Defending champions Notts met with with stern resistance from Hampshire at Trent Bridge and have a lot of work to do if they are to emerge with a victory.

    Division Two leaders Durham, meanwhile, will look to press home their 253-run advantage against Middlesex today, so welcome to our coverage of eight games. Play starts at 10:30.
