Migael Pretorius holds the pose after a lovely straight drive off the bowling of Ben Coad. Four runs and a pleasing advertisement for the bat manufacturer.

Matthew Revis joins the attack from the other end and Craig Overton takes Somerset to 100 in the 40th over with a forward push into the leg side.

Tom Scriven is into the 30s with another four, a back foot punch through cover off James Fuller.

Scott Currie is too full and wide to Hamza Shaikh in the next over and that ball is driven to point for two.

A leg bye follows in the third ball.

Currie gets some late inswing and Scriven jabs a little awkwardly into the leg side.

Paul Walter makes no mistake with this one and Matt Critchley dismisses Olly Hannon-Dalby to bring the Bears innings to a close with Sam Hain stranded on 88 not out.

The Bears duo added exactly 40 runs in about 45 minutes of play to give the visitors a first innings lead of 57 runs.

You get the feeling Hain will be disappointed that the innings ended there but the lead has been pushed out to decent one now.

Hannon-Dalby lasted 29 balls with his only runs coming from a four when Walter dropped a catch in the slips.

Too full from Auqib Nabi and Asa Tribe eases it away to left of Rory Burns at mid-on and away for four runs.

Excellent timing and Glamorgan are now 86 ahead.

Two more to the total for Sussex as George Thomas drives straight down the ground from Olly Stone. Haseeb Hameed races to the boundary to stop the four.

It's a much brighter day in Hove than we had for most of yesterday so far this morning.

Three slips in for Ben Cliff as he bowls to Migael Pretorius, but that ball is leg side and flicked away for one.

Craig Overton is forward to drive but doesn't clear long off.

Pretorius on strike for the next over.

A long way to go yet, Craig, but granted, it's not looking great at this stage for Somerset, who trail by 117 runs with two wickets remaining.

The runs are starting to flow for Leicestershire, now within 30 runs of parity.

Tom Scriven gets another four, driving Kyle Abbott with a flowing blade through cover.

10 runs off the over in total.

I think it was a palpable chance. It’s Paul Walter to his left at about waist height. At this level, it might sound a little harsh, but there’s no real excuse. Cold hands possibly. He got both hands apparently wrapped around it so very disappointing from Essex’s point of view.

Matt Milnes continues to go along at a nice pace for Kent, pulling Mitch Stanley for four through mid-wicket.

He's onto 38 from 62 balls and Kent are now 34 runs ahead of Lancashire.

So far, so good for Glamorgan as Tom Lawes begins his first over of the second day.

Zain-ul-Hassan tucks it down to long leg for a single and moves to 24 not out.

Essex 134 v Warwickshire 184-9

Of course what might stop Sam Hain reaching a century is batting partner Olly Hannon-Dalby not being able to stay in and he's been given a reprieve here.

Sam Cook finds the edge of Hannon-Dalby's bat but it goes through Paul Walter who gets a hand to it at first slip but can't cling on and even worse for the Essex fielders is that it runs away for four.

A rare boundary for Leicestershire this morning as Tom Scriven scoops Scott Currie fine down the leg side.

38 behind now.

Four runs to Craig Overton, hitting between long leg and square leg.

A swing and a miss as Ben Cliff tempts him with width.

An attempted cut to point - missed again. There's a run into the off side via a push to cover.

Migael Pretorius sees out the over.

Zak Crawley was dropped in the slips off the bowling of former England team-mate James Anderson about 10 minutes ago.

Crawley picks up three more - a single and a two - from Anderson's latest over and is now 19 runs shy of a ton.

How much will Lancashire rue that missed chance to get the Kent opener?

It was touch and go, but Durham do have the fifth batting point as Ollie Robinson tucks Matthew Waite to square leg for a single.

The question now is 'can Callum Parkinson stay with Robinson while he tries to complete a century?'

He is now 89 not out.

Another absolutely beautiful stroke from Sam Hain to move to 77.

I just wonder if Hain is a man on a mission to make it to a century today.

He is the fourth-highest run scorer in Division One with 865 but only has one century this season.
