Leicestershire 171-7 v Hampshire 214
Tom Scriven has played a useful hand here, helping to add 21 for the eighth wicket with Hamza Shaikh.
Three slips in for Kyle Abbott, bowling to Hamza Shaikh - who pushes a single into cover via a thick edge.
Scriven shapes to drive to off and gets an inside edge into the leg side for one.
Leicestershire scrapping for every run on a seaming surface.
Sussex 18-0 v Notts 240
Two boundaries in a row for Sussex opener Tom Haines as he drives consecutive deliveries from Mukesh Kumar through the covers for four.
Eight from the over and this has been a decent start in reply by the hosts.

Overton has been a thorn in Yorks side this year (1-day cup). We need him him out

Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 86-8
Another beauty from Ben Cliff and Migael Pretorius jabs the bat down in time.
Cliff has 6-37 and has Somerset on the edge. The Cliff edge.
Nasty. The ball rises awkwardly and strikes Pretorius on the glove.
That glove is coming off and the physio is coming on.
Pretorius will bat on.
Kent 184-7 v Lancashire 161
Jimmy Anderson strikes Zak Crawley on the knee roll and he likes the look of it. His team-mate do too as they all go up...
But Crawley is quite a long way forward and his height means that not out is probably the right shout. Would've been going a fair way over the top.
Sussex 10-0 v Notts 240
George Thomas is off the mark for Sussex with a nice drive through the covers off Olly Stone.
Notts got off to a decent start in their first innings, putting on 47 for the first wicket before slumping to 150-8.
Essex 134 v Warwickshire 167-9

He is batting well and is not rushing anything.
Leach c Bairstow b Cliff 6 - Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 86-8
Image source, SWPixVicious. Bouncing and leaving the bat via the edge.
Nothing Jack Leach could've done about that and Ben Cliff has six wickets.
Migael Pretorius to bat next.
Sussex 6-0 v Notts 240
A big appeal from Oly Stone and the Nottinghamshire field as they hear a noise as it zooms through George Thomas on the way to wicketkeeper Mitch Hay.
Not out is the call and replays show it looks to have brushed Thomas' shirt rather than bat or glove.
Surrey 115 v Glamorgan 132 & 57-0
A well directed bouncer from Dan Worrall catches Zain ul-Hassan by surprise and the Glamorgan opener is fortunate to glove it overt the slip cordon and away for four runs. The lead is now 74.
Kent 181-7 v Lancashire 161
Matt Milnes isn't hanging about this morning for Kent.
He guides one down to third man for four off Mitch Stanley and Milnes moves to 29.
The next major target for Kent will be the batting point. They'll need another 69 runs to get there.
Leicestershire 166-7 v Hampshire 214
Hamza Shaikh pushes a ball from Kyle Abbott that barely passes the crease at the non-striker's end. Tom Scriven just makes his ground as the return throw hits the stumps.
Scriven also survives an LBW shout in a probing over.
Essex 134 v Warwickshire 161-9

Image source, ShutterstockWe're looking forward to seeing Jack Auld bowl, according to an email we've had he's really quick. The email said 'I played against Auld this season when he took seven wickets. Easily the fastest bowler I've ever faced. Then he points out he was one of the three Auld didn't get'.

Are Durham going to fall short of maximum batting points?
Matthew Potts is gone, bowled by Matthew Waite for a duck.
They are 444-9 against Worcestershire and need another six runs for the fifth point.
Ollie Robinson is now 84 not out.
Sussex 6-0 v Notts 240
Mukesh Kumar's first over for Nottinghamshire on debut and it's a maiden. Just the one leg bye from it.
Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 86-7
That'll do. Jack Leach gets four runs off Ben Cliff, edging off the toe of the bat and wide of the slip cordon. They all count.
Now Leach is forward to Ben Coad, pushing into the leg side for a single.
We're down to two slips for Craig Overton with deep third now covered.
Overton is on the defensive and Jack Leach will face Ben Cliff again.

In with the Auld... And out with the Rew
Richard, Italy
Nicely done, Richard.
Surrey 115 v Glamorgan 132 & 48-0
Image source, ShutterstockLengthy advice from Dan Lawrence for Auqib Nabi while we wait for a helmet to be brought to the middle so Ben Foakes can stand up to the stumps.
"Keep it away from his pads" would be wise words for anyone bowling at Tribe.
Nabi beats the outside edge - that's a painful blow on the hand for Foakes!
But the next one is angled at the pads and that's four leg byes added to the Glamorgan total - which passes 50.

BBC Sport commentator
Hain just stepped inside the line of the ball and played a lofted perfectly judged shot. A shot of real class and perhaps one that indicates within the first 15 minutes Hain as already got his eye in
Sussex 5-0 v Notts 240
A first boundary of the innings for Sussex as Tom Haines drives Olly Stone on the up through the covers for four.
See ball, hit ball, barely moved. Lovely shot.
