A bit later than elsewhere, but it's time for a cuppa in the garden of England!

Kent have ground their way to 201, but those three wickets from Tom Helm have brought Middlesex right back into it after half-centuries from Bens, Dawkins and Compton.

Sheridon Gumbs looks solid in defence as Jack White pounds in for his third over.

It's a second maiden for the big Yorkshire bowler, but the hosts won't mind maidens too much if they can keep wickets intact.

200 up for Northantspublished at 16:20 BST 19 June

Durham v Northants 202-2

They have lost Luke Procter and Calvin Harrison in the space of four balls but Ricardo Vasconcelos (122*) is going along his merry way as he drives straight to the boundary and up comes the visitors' 200.

Bowling remains a tough choice of profession at Chester-le-Street today.

That is a lovely cover drive for four from Matthew Montgomery off George Balderson and then he crunches the next ball, which is overpitched, for four more through the offside.

He defends the last ball of the over and that is tea.

Montgomery has 41, the highest score of the day and Derbyshire trail by only 86 as they grab a 20-minute break.

No surprises that Somerset skipper Craig Overton will take the new ball as Warwickshire begin their reply.

Just how par or below will Somerset's total of 208 prove to be?

A well-judged leave from Rob Yates as Overton's second ball moves back appreciably off the pitch just past off-stump. Maiden.

Alex Davies will face his first ball from Jake Ball.

Whether 208 turns out to be remotely competitive may become much clearer by the close, but Somerset are indebted to Lewis Goldsworthy for getting even to that mark.

When he faced his first ball, having already seen one partner perish while he was waiting, Somerset were three wickets down only four overs into the match.

His batting was less hurried than any of his colleagues managed, choosing the right balls to attack often enough to hit 13 boundaries, and he only perished for 90 while trying to scramble quick runs before his partners ran out.

Largely thanks to him, Somerset more than doubled their total after Craig Overton and Jack Leach had both fallen within ten minutes of the restart after lunch. Goldsworthy found an able partner in Josh Shaw, who played with commendable restraint for an hour until attempting to hit Manav Suthar into the river, as Thomas Rew did this morning, but was well caught off a steepler by Sam Hain at long-on.

Beau Webster’s sharpest spell for Warwickshire included a burst of 4-8 either side of lunch, leading to his best figures for the county. It now falls to the Bears’ top order to prove that their bowling unit did a fine job to keep the Somerset score so low.

Shane Snater is happy once again.

His first ball of his second over is smacked to the mid wicket fence by Haseeb Hameed.

This is not going well for Snater or Essex.

There's plenty of encouragement for the Yorkshire bowlers as both Hassan Ali and Jack White repeatedly find the edge with the new ball.

Hassan is particularly unlucky as Rishi Patel twice edges to the rope to go to a run-a-ball 11.

You really feared for Glamorgan when they slumped to 79-6 just after lunch. And with Colin Ingram also having been forced to retire hurt after being struck on the hand by Gus Atkinson.

But Chris Cooke and Mason Crane have done an excellent clean up job with a hundred partnership in 167 balls to take their side to tea in reasonable shape.

Cooke is 70 and Crane 36. More is needed after the break as you feel the home side are a long way under par after winning the toss.

The break is perhaps what Surrey need after 32 unsuccessful overs.

May have spoken too soon (16:02).

The groundstaff are back out at Chelmsford with Shane Snater looking at where his front foot will land again.

It has been a frantic Friday of Championship cricket with wickets absolutely tumbling up and down the country. Some games have already had tea, so here is a quick update of the state-of-play in the nine games.

Ricardo Vasconcelos reaches his third century of the season and his 14th in FC cricket. He was dropped this morning on 13!

The hundred comes in 143 balls, with two sixes and 13 fours. It's his second against Durham, following 105 not out here in a draw in 2019.

He should have been out this morning when he clipped Ben Stokes' fourth ball of the day to Ben McKinney at leg slip. But the fielder put it down.

Rishi Patel gets the Leicestershire first innings up and running by taking three off Hassan Ali.

Sheridon Gumbs also gets off the mark first ball with a lucky inside edge.

Good opening over. Can Jack White replicate?

A very smart fightback by Chris Cooke, now 65 having gone to fifty in just 56 balls, and Mason Crane, 31.

Remains to be seen if the damage was already done but a good effort to get Glamorgan back in the day nonetheless.
