This game is just in a post-lunch lull at the moment. George Hill and Jack White are bowling tight lines, Josh Thomas and Tom Abell are remaining patient.

Their stand is worth 43.

These sort of passages of play hold great fascination for me. I used to do a bit of amateur captaincy and I loved that part of the game.

In this part of the game Yorkshire need wickets, but they cannot all-out attack because of the runs that Somerset need.

They could all-out attack again if they can get a couple of wickets and put the squeeze on, and go for it again.

Timm van der Gugten resumes with Codi Yusuf in his eyeline.

Ollie Robinson drives Sean Abbott down the ground for a handsome boundary.

He knows, with 62 overs to bowl, there is no future in a defensive mindset.

Jack Carson living dangerously now, as he tries to turn Jordan Clark off his hip but gets a leading edge but it falls safe of the mid-off fielder.

What a first over of the afternoon for Sussex - 17 off it.

Sean Abbott bowls a loosener with the first ball after lunch and Jack Carson cashes in, driving for four.

Abbott then pushes one down the leg side, leading to four leg byes off Carson's hip.

The next two balls are both hit to the boundary, the first off the back foot through the off side, the second clipped through mid-wicket.

Back under way after lunch - and George Hill is convinced he's got Tom Abell lbw in the first over of the afternoon session.

It looks a very good shout. The only question must have been whether it was just drifting down the leg side.

We're back under way at Taunton, The Oval, Lord's and Canterbury.

They'll start the afternoon session at Hampshire a little later.

I think we can be fairly sure that this game will end in a positive result, but which side will come out on top is still very much in the balance.

Somerset started well, Craig Overton having Jyhe Richardson caught behind in just the third over, to leave a target of 260 in 92 overs.

But the run chase started shakily against accurate, testing bowling from Jack White and George Hill, and at 24-3 it was Yorkshire who were firmly in the driving seat.

The arrival of Tom Abell steadied the Somerset ship, and on a placid pitch, with plenty of batting to come, the home team will still fancy their chances.

An unbroken seventh wicket partnership of 64 between Jack Carson and Charlie Tear has taken the game into the afternoon session, but with the arrears still 89 Sussex still have a mountain to climb to salvage a draw.

But credit to Tear. The 21-year-old has taken a rare opportunity to play Championship cricket and has grafted his way to a well-deserved half-century in 106 balls.

Surrey know that patience is the key and with the new ball available in just 18 overs will be confident of securing their first Championship win of the season.

However there is still a possibility that Tom Haines who was injured yesterday could bat later today, and Sussex certainly won't give up without a fight.

Hants skipper Ben Brown (82) and Codi Yusuf (11) keep Glam at arm's length to end a first session extended by 15 minutes unbeaten and lunch is now taken at the Utilita Bowl.

Ben Slater reaches his half century with a upper cut six off Josh Hull which flies over the cover boundary rope and secures a emphatic and well-deserved victory.

This has been a victory built on a superb first innings knock from Slater (178) and an excellent five wicket haul for Olly Stone (5-68) in Leics reply that left the Foxes on the back foot.

It was a position which they never fully recovered from despite defiance with the bat from Stephen Eskinazi (100) and Ajaz Patel (62) which brought a glimmer of hope.

After enfrocing the follow-on Liam Patterson-White joined the party in Leics second innings with 5-53 as the pitch increasingly helped spin with some near unplayable turn out of the footmarks.

A chase of 73 was never enough to stop Notts bounding to a second victory of the season, the champions taking 23 points with the home side bagging four points.

Derbyshire pair Luis Reece and Ben Aitchison have done well to see out 10 overs before lunch, with Reece moving onto 29.

But it's a long way back for the visitors. Kent need three more wickets in two sessions for their first win of 2026.

Paceman Matt Milnes has the incredible figures of 4-8 off 12 overs.

A fascinating morning at Taunton, leaving the match in the balance.

Three Yorkshire wickets put them in the ascendancy at 21-3, but Josh Thomas (23 not out) and Tom Abell (24 not out) have given Somerset fans reason to enjoy their lunch a little more.

Glamorgan have been given another 15 minutes to take the ninth wicket and if they do they will take the extra half hour. If not they will go to lunch.

And that is the luncheon interval in south London.

Once again, Sussex's lower order is coming to their team's rescue in this game. Charlie Tear has batted well for an unbeaten 51 and Jack Carson has hit two fours and two sixes, while also playing and missing a fair bit.

Surrey still on top after taking two wickets this morning. The new ball is due in 18 overs.

Haseeb Hameed (19) and Ben Slater (27) are accelerating smoothly towards the target and lunch will be delayed as they complete the match.

Durham's session.

After building their lead to 137 in quick time, the visitors took three Middlesex wickets at Lord's.

Big afternoon coming up in the capital with Middlesex still 80 behind.
