Matthew Potts is clipped towards the cover boundary by Caleb Jewell but the slow outfield gives the Durham sweeper time to cut it off.

Not to be denied Jewell and Matt Montgomery manage to scuttle through to an all run four.

Potts stomps back to his mark no doubt pondering quite how that was allowed to happen.

The game at The Oval is going through a quiet spell.

After the loss of the early wicket Freddie McCann and Ben Slater have tried to dig in for the away side.

Slater, playing his 100th first-class match for Notts, scored just one run from his first 30 balls.

Ben Stokes is into the Durham attack replacing Brydon Carse as the visitors try to upset this opening pair.

It is looking like Sonny Baker's first over was his best.

Will Luxton has swept him for six behind square, driven him on the up through cover and then, with the best of the lot, lofted back over the bowler's head for another boundary.

It's 14 off the over as Yorkshire erase the Hants lead and move into a 12-run lead themselves.

Toby Roland-Jones is enjoying himself as he tees off against Matt Quinn.

The result is 4-4-0-4-6-0 off Roland-Jones' bat as he goes to 26 not out from 15 balls.

Useful runs though as he tries to get his side past the follow-on target of 23.

Matthew Potts has got Caleb Jewell in all sorts of bother here.

He has beaten the edge twice with balls seaming back at the opener. In between a grubber hardly gets off the ground.

This does not look easy. Another third maiden of four overs.

This is a bowler-friendly pitch of uneven bounce which looks sure to produce a positive result, probably on day three.

Ben Mike has led the way with a hostile four-wicket haul, including Sean Dickson who looked reasonably set on 23 but slashed to gully just after getting hit on the head.

Leicestershire are not likely to receive a good mark for this pitch, and it could even cost them points.

Sonny Baker made a bright start in his first over, cutting Adam Lyth in half with a nip-backer and then seeing Will Luxton edge just short of second slip for four.

But he has started his second over with a real loose one, short, outside the left-hander's off-stump and pummelled to the rope at point by Lyth.

Raise your bat Mason Crane.

A boundary straight after tea takes him to 27, the highest score of the match so far.

Lancashire v Northants 252-7

The third ball after tea and Northants have their first batting point.

George Balderson gets one to bounce a touch and it carches Luke Guthrie high on the bat.

It flies well over slips and down for four to a vacant third.

One to make the Northants bowlers lick their lips for later on.

Somerset in full command after a superb day so far.

They were pegged back to 397-9 but then a 10th wicket stand pulled them to a big score with Migael Pretorius making 48 from No.11 and James Rew an unbeaten 74.

It's the type of stand that changes a day and Somerset then came out firing with the ball and reduced Essex to 2-3.

A 102-run stand with Paul Walter and Matt Critchley got Essex moving but Walter fell for 48 and Noah Thain has since been dismissed.

Matt Critchley takes tea 50 not out and needs plenty more to try and claw back this huge deficit.

Haseeb Hameed gets Notts underway in their second innings with a lovely cover drive for four off Dan Worrall.

Notts now lead by 28.

Durham collapsed in Derby from the moment the new ball was introduced.

They lost their last five wickets in the space of just 14 overs, while adding only a further 23 runs. Bowler Ben Aitchison took 5-70, his second five-for of the season against Durham and his third in three matches.

The bowling conditions looked fantastic with that new ball in hand and I am looking forward to see how Derbyshire cope in their innings.

The follow-on target is 134 and I have a feeling we could see the start of the third innings of this match later today - because there are still 48 overs of the day left to come.
