Four more to Felix Organ, back and across to flay Nathan Gilchrist through extra cover.

He's on 40.

Charlie Tear drives wonderfully through the covers from Mukesh Kumar and he goes onto 36.

And with that boundary comes the 100 partnership between Tear and Tom Clark.

Four more to Nick Gubbins - now on 46.

Tom Scriven is full outside off and driven through cover by the left-handed opener.

A single off the next ball and Felix Organ flicks a four to square leg.

Four more driven to long on with superlative timing.

More of a push really. The over goes for a total of 15.

Michael Jones drives down the ground through mid-off from Matt Quinn and it runs away for four.

Jones is one away from his half-century now.

Jake Ball gets the ball to nip back off the seam to James Wharton.

A promising start in his first spell of the innings.

Sam Whiteman is struck on the pad by Lewis Gregory in the next over.

Umpire Jack Shantry says not out. Outside the line.

Single to Whiteman in the on side.

Northants 121-1 v Derbyshire 372

Luke Procter ensures both Northants openers make half-centuries as he reaches 50 in 157 balls.

Ricardo Vasconcelos earlier made 58 before falling to Ben Aitchison which is the only success for Derbyshire so far.

Following the ball change, Surrey hand it to Dan Worrall who has been their most threatening bowler today.

Kiran Carlson is moving across his stumps to try and combat the swing - he'd better watch out in case he gets bowled behind his legs.

Worrall hasn't tried the leg stump line yet, though. It's a maiden.

Tom Clark is in fine form and he sweeps Liam Patterson-White away for another four to move onto 65.

Nottinghamshire's title defence may well be riding on this Sussex innings.

The reigning champions need wickets and pretty soon. Sussex are within 110 runs of the Notts lead.

Nick Gubbins moves to 40 with four off the bowling of Nathan Gilchrist, but it's streaky!

Driven and sliced over the head of a jumping second slip.

Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 89-2

Marcus Harris nudges a single into the covers off Khaled Ahmed and his partnership with Michael Jones is now worth 50.

Jones was dropped on 37 by Zak Crawley about 20 minutes ago. He's onto 45 and Kent are struggling to break this stand.

Harris has 21.

Full from Lewis Gregory. Sam Whiteman drives and a great stop from Migael Pretorius at mid on keeps it to one.

James Wharton plays and misses outside off stump. Over bowled.

Change of bowling. Jake Ball comes on for Craig Overton at the Howard Stand End.

That is likely the last time an Essex home crowd will see Dean Elgar in action with the former South Africa captain Dean Elgar set to retire at the end of the season.

The 39-year-old mentioned his young family in South Africa as one of the reasons he had decided to call time on his illustrious career.

Left-hander Elgar represented his country for over 11 years and scored 14 centuries and 23 half-centuries, amassing a total of 5,347 runs in 86 Tests, having made his debut in November 2012 against Australia at The Waca where he made two ducks.

Elgar has shown his run-scoring prowess in all formats of the game, scoring 2,594 runs in 104 T20 matches, and a massive 18,981 runs in 279 first class matches.

He will play his final game for Essex in the last game of the season next week away at Glamorgan.

Felix Organ drives Nathan Gilchrist down the ground but that shot is toe-ended somewhat and only brings a single.

Nick Gubbins keeps the strike with a single.

A bit of width from Tom Scriven and Gubbins cuts to cover point for four runs.

An interesting move by Surrey.

They call up Adam Thomas - yet to take a wicket in first-class cricket - to bowl his medium pace.

Ben Foakes, who has just received some treatment to his left hand, is up to the stumps.

Three easy singles from that one. The umpires want to change the ball, which is 52 overs old.

Great line and length from Craig Overton. James Wharton defends.

A slightly shorter ball into the stumps is deflected leg side for one.

The runs dry to a trickle at Headingley. The Yorkshire lead is 21.

Surrey 115 v Glamorgan 132 & 183-2

Short ball from Auqib Nabi and Kiran Carlson plays a cramped-for-room hook shot which nonetheless clears the rope at long leg.

Six runs and Glamorgan are exactly 200 in front with eight wickets still standing.

Surrey followers perhaps have reason now to start getting anxious.

Felix Organ survives an LBW shout against Tom Scriven - just outside the line of off stump.

The next ball is on the pads and glanced behind square leg for four.
