Kent 147-3 v Glos 229
One hand comes off the bat as Daniel Bell-Drummond plays a ball from Che Simmons away square - but the resulting single brings up a 50 stand with Ben Compton.
Simmons beats Compton with a beauty - but is again called for a no-ball!
Worrall lbw Leach 5 (Somerset v Surrey 402-8)
If you don't play a shot...
Dan Worrall pads-up to Jack Leach and knows he is out before the finger goes up.
In comes Rahul Chahar.
Somerset v Surrey 402-7
More frustration for Somerset as Adam Thomas cracks away successive Migael Pretorius deliveries for sumptuous boundaries.
The batting conditions look good under the blue skies at Taunton.
Pretorious over pitches and Thomas bangs another four to bring up the 400.
Hampshire 82-6 v Sussex 244
Image source, Adrian HarmsThey may be off for bad light at Edgbaston, but the weather is glorious at Utilita Bowl, when Hampshire captain Ben Brown and Ben Mayes are trying to reduce their side's deficit against Sussex.
They came together at 64-6 and have added 18 so far for the seventh wicket.
Lancs v Durham 376-5
Ollie Robinson turns Mitch Stanley down to long leg for three runs and reaches another 50, this one from 72 balls.

Image source, Getty ImagesRinse and repeat from Olly Stone.
Adam Lyth has struggled against a super spell from the Notts pacer and is squared up by a shorter length, nudging behind to give Mitch Hay a second routine catch of the morning.
Not such a happy birthday for Lyth as the Yorkshire openers fall cheaply once again.
James Wharton joins Sam Whiteman.
Somerset 390-7 v Surrey
Off the back foot, Dan Worrall eases Jack Leach away for a lovely boundary - proper cricket shot that from the tailender.
After those two early wickets this morning, Somerset will have hoped to rush through the final three Surrey wickets but they are finding it tough going.
Middx 255 v Northants 103 & 33-0
Luke Procter plays awkwardly as Danru Ferns angles one in from around the wicket. It moves away, beating the edge and off stump.
Notts 251 v Yorks 26-1
Mohammad Ali in for his first over on his return to Trent Bridge following his Test match duties for Pakistan.
He replaces Brett Hutton and is met with a gorgeous drive from Adam Lyth who moves to 16.
Warks 181-4 v Leics 125
It's very gloomy and cloudy at Edgbaston, and not even the floodlights are able to help produce a playable light, so the players have left the field.
Warwickshire have added 51 runs without loss this morning, with Sam Hain and Ed Barnard unbeaten on 60 and 53 respectively.
The Bears' lead is up to 56.
Glamorgan 351-4 v Essex
They will have to settle for two batting points but Glamorgan seem set for a commanding total with six wickets in hand at Cardiff.
Billy Root cuts away for a couple of runs to bring up the home side's 350.
Somerset v Surrey 384-7
No more bonus points are available as we have now bowled 112 overs at Taunton.
Somerset have collected two bowling points which will not help their cause as they bid to overhaul leaders Warwickshire and win a first title.
It is the first time this season the home side have failed to take maximum bowling points which is some record.

Such a mess that the (Leicestershire) appeal couldn't be heard before this round of fixtures. Essex will need to focus on making it moot, which a draw should do.

Warks 175-4 v Leics 125
Image source, ShutterstockWarwickshire captain Ed Barnard brings up his half-century in the Edgbaston gloom.
It's his sixth score of 50 or more in the Championship this season.
Warwickshire's lead is up to 50.
Ollie Robinson and Kasey Aldridge have posted a 50 partnership for Durham at Old Trafford. The visitors are 362-5 in the 100th over.
Worcestershire have moved on to 44-3 against Derbyshire but Dan Lategan and Rehaan Edavalath have both got away with edges through and wide of the slips in Mo Abbas' last two overs.
Luxton c Hay b Stone 8 (Notts 251 v Yorks 21-1)
Breakthrough at Trent Bridge.
Olly Stone has bowled superbly this morning and gets his reward, but opener Will Luxton is far from happy with the decision.
Stone gets one to move away from Luxton's defensive push which is adjudged to have nicked the outside edge on its way through to Mitch Hay.
The Yorks opener shows his thoughts by shaking his head all the way back to the pavilion.
Sam Whiteman joins Adam Lyth.
Ingram c Elgar b Akhter 42 (Glamorgan 348-4 v Essex)
Zaman Akhter drops short again and Colin Ingram pulls him away to the mid-wicket fence for four.
Bowler and batter try a repeat the next ball and this time the bowler wins.
Ingram top edges and Dean Elgar takes the catch down on the long leg boundary.
Could that be the final time we see Colin Ingram with a bat in hand for Glamorgan after he announced his retirement at the end of this season?
Another forthcoming retiree is next in as Billy Root joins Asa Tribe in the middle.
Middx 255 v Northants 103 & 26-0
Toby Roland-Jones takes a breather after a seven-wicket burst as Tom Helm enters the attack.
The right-armer finds some movement straight off in a tidy opening salvo.
Kent 136-3 v Glos 229
Two short ones in three deliveries from Matt Taylor and both are despatched to the mid-wicket boundary by Daniel Bell-Drummond, who is 21 not out.
In the words of the great Fleetwood Mac... You would never break Sam Hain
