    Yorkshire v Surrey 95-7 f/o - trail by 187

    Jhye Richardson continues from the Kirkstall Lane end and with the second delivery of his over, he produces a dangerous in-swinger to Jordan Clark.

    Clark has to play at it and it hits the bat so hard, the bat comes out of Clark's hand and onto the pitch.

    Richardson and Jack White asking all the questions this morning.

    He puts Rory Haydon away through mid-wicket for four as the Middlesex total reaches 300 and they lead by 101.

    It's just as well the Glamorgan middle order and tail is batting well, our openers aren't setting the world alight right now. Bowling unit is loving the conditions too.

    Glamorgan 210-6 & 360 v Warwickshire 252

    Colin Ingram is into what are commonly known as the 'nervous nineties' - although there was nothing nervous about that beautiful cover drive to dismiss Oliver Hannon-Dalby to the rope which moves him onto 93.

    He has been joined by Timm van der Gugten at the crease, following the removal of Chris Cook in Ethan Bamber's past over.

    Yorkshire v Surrey 94-7 f/o - trail by 188

    Three slips, a leg slip, a leg gully and a short leg greet Sean Abbott who is new to the crease.

    He plays a full and straight delivery from Jack White and the ball pops up but lands just safe.

    Yorkshire have started today just how they left off last night.

    A maiden over from White.

    Somerset 526-8 dec v Sussex 253 & 8-0 f/o

    Dan Hughes is off the mark first ball with a thick inside edge fine for four runs.

    Not entirely convincing but he's off the mark.

    A play and miss and a no ball follows. Two more runs to Hughes to see out the over and now Tom Haines will face Alfie Ogborne.

    Breakthrough for Warwickshire at Edgbaston this morning, as Ethan Bamber tempts Chris Cooke into pushing at one and is caught well, down low at second slip by Rob Yates.

    That is five in the innings for Bamber and eight in the match.

    Brown c Patterson-White b O'Neill 8 (Hampshire 90-5 & 214 v Notts 229)

    The first wicket of the morning for Nottinghamshire - and another for Fergus O'Neill.

    Ben Brown is deep in his crease, looks to run the ball into the off-side but succeeds in only picking out Liam Patterson-White at first slip, regulation catch.

    Hants in some real bother now, only leading by 75 and five down.

    Blake lbw White 19 (Yorkshire v Surrey 90-7 f/o - trail by 192)

    And another!

    What a perfect start to the day for Yorkshire and Surrey are rapidly moving to their first defeat of the season.

    This one looks absolutely plumb and umpire Michael Gough agrees. Jack White traps Josh Blake bang in front, this one would have been hitting middle and off.

    Superb bowling from White, he's hit a beautiful line and length this morning.

    Glamorgan 202-5 & 360 v Warwickshire 252

    Colin Ingram plays what looked a pretty deliberate cut over the cordon and to the third boundary, punishing a half-tracker by Ethan Bamber.

    Glammy move to 202-5 and Ingram is now on 87. The are not showing signs of hanging around this morning having already added 10 to their overnight score.

    Somerset 526-8 dec v Sussex 253

    Lewis Gregory wraps the innings up in double quick time this morning.

    Sussex trail by 273 and we assume the follow on will be enforced.

    TBC.

    Henry Crocombe is last out, squared up on the crease and getting a leading edge off Lewis Gregory to Tom Abell at first slip for four.

    Ollie Robinson is left stranded on eight.
