  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:58 BST 10 May

    Webster lbw Hill 32 (Warwickshire 147 & 293-4 v Yorkshire 152)

    First wicket of the morning for Yorkshire as George Hill traps big Beau Webster lbw for 32.

    Sam Hain is now on 69.

  2. Postpublished at 11:52 BST 10 May

    Essex 273 v Hants 235 & 93-3 (lead by 55 runs)

    Simon Harmer gets one to spit off the pitch and Nick Gubbins looks accusingly at the pitch in front of him.

    That is the second one of the morning that has really turned.

    Good news for Liam Dawson ahead of Essex's fourth innings run chase but bad news for Hants batters perhaps as they try to set the target.

  3. O'Neill and Stone making the new ball talkpublished at 11:47 BST 10 May

    Surrey 257-4 v Notts 415

    Grace Ballinger
    The Blaze and Manchester Super Giants seamer

    Nottinghamshire have taken the new ball at Trent Bridge, and will be keen to break the building partnership between Dan Lawrence and Adam Thomas.

    The pace duo of O'Neill and Stone look threatening as they bowl in tandem, as Dan Lawrence takes on a fierce Stone bumper and top edges, although safely for a single.

    This Notts seam attack certainly looks something special when they are firing.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:46 BST 10 May

    Lehmann b Porter 27 (Essex 273 v Hants 235 & 93-3)

    Big blow struck for Essex and a big blow sustained by Hants as Jamie Porter jags one back to obliterate Jake Lehmann's stumps.

    This is angled in to the left hander bowling around the wicket and Lehmann just misjudges his line as the ball seams back in.

    That ends a 74 run partnership between Nick Gubbins and the Australian and with the lead just 55 runs that is a significant setback.

  5. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:44 BST 10 May

    Pretorius b van der Gugten 6 (Glamorgan 229 v Somerset 354 & 63-8)

    Tim Van der Gugten strikes again in consecutive overs!

    Off stump removed and Migael Pretorius is back in the pavilion after just 10 balls.

    Captain Lewis Gregory comes to the middle for Somerset. A reminder Tom Abell is still there, too - he could be pivotal in keeping the visitors' noses in front in this one.

  6. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:44 BST 10 May

    Stanley b Roland-Jones 8 (Lancs 201 & 64-6 v Middlesex 169)

    Mitchell Stanley's frustrated Middlesex for more than 40 minutes this morning - but he's on his way now.

    Toby Roland-Jones gets one to straighten and it does just enough to dislodge the bail - although the bowler was appealing for caught behind at first!

    No argument when the bail is off, though - so Lancashire are six down and Chris Green comes out to the middle.

  7. Sussex nine down but increasing leadpublished at 11:40 BST 10 May

    Sussex 418-9 v Leicestershire 328

    Grace Ballinger
    The Blaze and Manchester Super Giants seamer

    Is there anything more frustrating for a bowling attack than a ninth-wicket partnership?

    Leicestershire will want to see the back of either John Simpson or Henry Crocombe, as Sussex look to extend their lead.

    Simpson stands firm on 107, and will need Crocombe to at least hold an end up to keep extending the lead.

    Sussex are currently 32 runs away from the final batting bonus point.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Nick Gubbinspublished at 11:36 BST 10 May

    Essex 273 v Hants 235 & 86-2

    Two fours off Sam Cook bring up Nick Gubbins's half century in 122 balls. It is the second half century of his campaign after an 83 against Somerset.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:35 BST 10 May

    Jones lbw b Roland-Jones 10 (Lancs 201 & 63-5 v Middlesex 169)

    Lancashire are five down now, leading by 95...

    Toby Roland-Jones takes his first wicket of this second innings, slanting the ball in to Michael Jones and striking him on the back leg - it looked close but the umpire was persuaded.

    Matty Hurst emerges to join nightwatchman Mitchell Stanley, who's still there on eight.

    Get Involvedpublished at 11:35 BST 10 May

    Kent's lead of 2: You have to say when they were down to 6/7 after Williams' laser-guided direct hit to run-out Singh, didn't think they'd only have finished batting at 11:20 on Day 3. If light and weather hold, it's going all the way.

    Em, Newcastle

    It's brilliantly poised in that one with plenty of time left in the contest...

  11. Division Two updatepublished at 11:34 BST 10 May

    #bbccricket

    Innings break in Bristol, where Kent have *just* surpassed the Gloucestershire tally of 325 by reaching 327 all out.

    Chris Benjamin was out early for Kent today, having not added to his 74* overnight tally.

    Durham's chase of Worcestershire's 308 continues to be led by Graham Clark, who is edging his side towards a batting bonus point on 231-7.

    In Derby, Northants still trail by 490, but Calvin Harrison and Jack Sales are both approaching 50s in response to Derbyshire's 604-7 declared.

  12. 100 runs

    100 for John Simpsonpublished at 11:33 BST 10 May

    Sussex 409-9 v Leics 328

    John Simpson clips a four off his legs down to fine leg off Ben Green to move to 98 and bring up a fourth batting bonus point for Sussex.

    And the next ball is pulled over backwards square leg for SIX to bring up a second century of his season and a 21st of his first class career.

    The lead is 81 and Sussex are engineering a decent position in this contest.

  13. First batting bonus point for Surreypublished at 11:32 BST 10 May

    Notts 415 v Surrey 253-4

    It's level pegging in terms of bonus points as Dan Lawrence steers Lyndon James to the third man boundary to take the Surrey total beyond 250.

    Lawrence has been looking to accelerate this morning and he's moved along to 80, with Adam Thomas on 20. The pair have added 56 so far for this fifth wicket.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:25 BST 10 May

    Overton c Tribe b van der Gugten 15 (Glamorgan 229 v Somerset 354 & 51-7)

    First wicket of the day in Cardiff!

    Craig Overton plays at one well outside the line from Timm van der Gugten but only serves to prod one straight to Asa Tribe.

    Overton looks to the heavens in frustration, Somerset really needed this partnership with Tom Abell to last a little longer into the day.

  15. Postpublished at 11:24 BST 10 May

    Lancs 201 & 61-4 v Middlesex 169

    Michael Jones is taking a leaf out of the book that Leus du Plooy was reading for Middlesex earlier in the game.

    Like the Middlesex captain, Jones is charging out of his crease against the seamers and it's brought him success so far, including a crisp drive off Ryan Higgins to the cover fence.

    All valuable runs for Lancashire as they stretch their lead to 93.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:22 BST 10 May

    Robinson c Budinger b Green 19 (Sussex 394-9 v Leics 328)

    Ollie Robinson is on his way after looping a leading edge to point where Sol Budinger takes a diving catch to his left.

    Ben Green has a third wicket (3-63) and the Foxes are a wicket away from batting again.

  17. Postpublished at 11:20 BST 10 May

    Essex 273 v Hants 235 & 71-2

    Jake Lehmann is very strong against over-pitched bowling getting low and well anchored in his stance before cracking through the shot with a snap.

    Another one from Sam Cook which is just pitched a little too far up has just been despatched with feeling through cover as he moves to 23.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Graham Clarkpublished at 11:20 BST 10 May

    Worcestershire 308 v Durham 216-7

    The second half century of the innings for the visitors, as Graham Clark joins David Bedingham (83) in passing 50.

    Partner Ollie Robinson has just fallen, though, so Durham are another man down.

  19. 50 runs

    50 for Sam Hainpublished at 11:17 BST 10 May

    Warwickshire 147 & 282-3 v Yorkshire 152

    Sam Hain backs up his half-century in the first innings with another in the second.

    A couple of fours off the bowling of Harry Brook, yes that's right, get him past 50.

    Hain and Beau Webster will have their minds on stretching the Warwickshire lead out - it currently stands at 277.

  20. Dan Lawrence key for Surreypublished at 11:12 BST 10 May

    Surrey 225-4 v Notts 415

    You feel Dan Lawrence needs to be the one to stick around for Surrey at Trent Bridge, with all of the top four back in the shed.

    The all-rounder is 65* as Surrey still trail by 190. It looks like Josh Tongue is employing the short-ball tactic at Lawrence, who has played watchfully so far this morning.
