Somerset 108-7 v Warks

A leg bye brings up the Somerset century which in the circumstances doesn't get much applause from the home faithful.

Josh Shaw then gets a life as he edges Nathan Gilchrist between second and third slip for four.

Fortunately for him it dropped just short of outstetched hands.

It's been a real struggle.

It sees Hammond advances to 35, one ahead of his captain.

Kent 82-0 v Middlesex

Ben Dawkins replaced Zak Crawley in the Kent batting and how the teenager is delivering.

It's a second half-century in consecutive games for the 19-year-old as he squirts a Seb Morgan delivery through the gully area for a couple.

His 50 has come off 108 balls. Well batted, young man!

Durham v Northants 103-0

The skies are darkening at Chester-le-Street and there might be the odd spit of rain in the air but Northants do not care as Ricardo Vasconcelos and skipper Luke Procter bring up the century opening stand.

Joey Evison completes his fourth over to get the afternoon session under way at Grace Road after striking before lunch.

He beats the outside edge as George Hill faces his first ball. Nice start.

Much of Yorkshire's hopes rest on the shoulders of James Wharton who resumes on 38.

A wicket on the stroke of lunch has tilted the game in favour of Sussex, Jake Lehmann falling LBW to Tom Haines, a decision he clearly didn't like swishing his bat in annoyance.

Prior to that Hampshire had made a good start having won the toss adding 54 for the first wicket against some inconsistent Sussex bowling, the exception being Jaydev Unadkat who bowled an excellent line and length without taking a wicket.

However the introduction of Tom Price who claimed the wicket of Toby Albert stemmed the flow of runs, and Hampshire were indebted to Nick Gubbins for a disciplined, unbeaten 47 at lunch

Taunton is this weekend celebrating a “Festival of Red Ball Cricket”, but a large home crowd might have been forgiven for wondering why the home team appeared to set off as if the ball was white, giving Warwickshire a head start they widened further just before the break.

Red-ball cricket broke out for a 90-minute period in which Lewis Goldsworthy set a responsible tone, with some attractive strokes added by Thomas Rew.

That recovery work was undermined by Beau Webster’s short spell before lunch, in which he persuaded Rew to pad up to a straight ball, and Archie Vaughan to jab to first slip.

Earlier, when there was cloud cover, the top order attacked the swinging ball without success. After Josh Thomas had prodded a low catch to Alex Davies, Tom Kohler-Cadmore immediately advanced to Ethan Bamber and edged a firm drive to second slip.

Bamber had already found both edges of Jordan Hermann’s bat, but Nathan Gilchrist had the South African flashing a drive to third slip in the next over, giving Warwickshire a bonus point only 20 balls into the match.

Surrey cricketers are well on top after the first session of the first day of the county championship fixture against Glamorgan at Cardiff with the hosts struggling at 71-4.

Bowling a disciplined line and length the home side found scoring difficult at Sophia Gardens which resulted in a flurry of wickets .

Billy Root in for the injured Zain ul Hassan was the first to depart as he was caught by Sam Curran off the bowling of Shaun Abbott and the Australian picked his second wicket as he clean bowled England Lions opener Asa Tribe.

Gus Atkinson, who’s hasn’t been picked by England for the 2nd test at the Oval against New Zealand due to disciplinary issues, quickly got in on the act as he took the wickets of both captain Kiran Carlson and Ben Kellaway .

Colin Ingram and Sean Dickson managed to dig in prior to lunch but a lot will depend on the pair if Glamorgan are able to post a decent first-innings total as they will resume on 71-4.

Losing the wicket of captain Tom Westley just before the lunch interval will be hugely frustrating for Essex.

He and Charlie Allison had been rebuilding and looking comfortable following the early wickets of the openers Dean Elgar and Paul Walter but the introduction of the spin of Liam Patterson-White has drawn the breakthrough.

That'll give Nottinghamshire a big boost going into the afternoon session while Essex will need to dig in.

A touching moment at Cardiff before play got underway this morning.

The National Cricket Centre at Sophia Gardens has been named after Hugh Morris.

The very-well respected former Glamorgan and England batsman and chief executive died of bowel cancer aged 62 in December.

Division One

Chelmsford: Essex 87-3 v Nottinghamshire

Cardiff: Glamorgan 71-4 v Surrey

Leicester: Leicestershire v Yorkshire 89-5

Taunton: Somerset 94-5 v Warwickshire

Hove: Sussex v Hampshire 83-3

Division Two

Chesterfield: Derbyshire v Lancashire 106-6

Chester-le-Street: Durham v Northamptonshire 91-0

Canterbury: Kent 69-0 v Middlesex

Worcester: Worcestershire v Gloucestershire 78-2

A strong morning for Surrey and Gus Atkinson.

The England seamer has taken two wickets. Sean Abbott has also struck twice to put Glamorgan in trouble after the hosts won the toss.

Cameron Bancroft has batted through the morning to reach 34 at lunch with Miles Hammond 26 not out to lead a recovery from 35-2.

But Worcestershire have not let them get away and the home bowlers will be reasonably satisfied with their two hours of graft.
