With Sussex already celebrating and rain in Canterbury, we are about to resume in four matches.

What does the afternoon session have in store?

Derbyshire need 86 runs. Lancashire need seven wickets.

Could we be in for a Monday afternoon thriller?

Yorkshire are making Hampshire wait for what should be an inevitable victory.

Whilst we wait, poor Dom Bess has made what can only be described as a painful 26 not out.

Not in a cricketing sense though.

He was first struck full-on on the helmet by a quick delivery from Sonny Baker. After a lengthy delay the same bowler inflicted more pain in an area you would never want to be hit as a batter. Cue an even lengthier delay.

A couple of overs later Bess was struck on the helmet again, this time a more glancing blow off Eddie Jack, with the same bowler then handing out another painful blow, this time on his inner thigh.

Nobody can say Dom Bess isn’t going down fighting.

It has certainly been an excellent response to the 12-point deduction.

And what a lovely part of the world in which to be savouring Sussex's glorious start!

Another big shout from Mitch Stanley for an lbw against Harry Came and another shake of the head from umpire Sue Redfern.

So Derbys survive three down as they go to lunch and, while they have reached 51-3 this match remains in the balance.

Came on 17 and Martin Andersson who has made it briskly to 12 have done well against some spirited bowling and ferocious appealing.

Lancs will rue adding only 23 for the last four wickets this morning. How would the odds be stacked if they had another 50 on the board?

Back in 40 minutes for what should be a cracking and concluding afternoon session.

A bit of spin from Liam Dawson before lunch by way of a change of pace which will be gratefully received by George Hill and Dom Bess.

Hill was the latest to wear one, fending off a steep riser from Sonny Baker with his shoulder.

Nothing compared to the battering Bess received earlier though and whatever happens this afternoon, Yorks cannot be accused of not battling for it.

Bess (26) and Hill (36) have done well and while the target remains out of reach barring a miracle, this pair probably need to reach tea unbroken.

It's going to take a heck of a lot to force a result at The Oval but we can live in hope.

Dom Sibley goes just before the lunch break but Surrey still have plenty of batting to come.

Funny old game though, you never know...

Notts will enjoy their sandwiches a lot more than Glamorgan will.

Five wickets for 68 runs and the defending champions need just three more for victory.

You'd fancy them to wrap it up before tea.

Notts v Glamorgan 200-7 - target 478

Glamorgan pass the 200 mark but it feels like only a matter of time before Notts seal the victory at Trent Bridge.

Surrey 520 & 101-1 v Leics 691 - Surrey trail by 70 runs

Batting, batting and batting our way to a draw at The Oval.

Jamie Smith steps back and smashes a long hop down the ground for four off Rehan Ahmed and with that Surrey move past 100.

The human target that is Dom Bess and all-rounder George Hill have done well for the last 10 overs keeping out Hants pacemen.

Bess has twice been hit in the helmet and once (or possibly twice) amidship.

The pair have found the boundary nine times and Hill has just leant into a rising ball from Codi Yusuf sending it racing to the cover boundary.

Maybe all too familiar a feeling for Glamorgan in this first session.

They lost six wickets for 29 runs to be bowled out for 113 on day two.

And the Welsh side have lost five wickets for 60 runs so far today.

Serious turn for Ajaz Patel all of a sudden.

It rips away from Dom Sibley and it spins so much, it beats keeper Ben Cox as well, before running away for four byes.

Encouragement for Patel though.

What a start to the season for the financially struggling Sussex County Cricket Club.

Emphatic wins at Grace Road and now back at home in front of their supporters who spent the winter being disgruntled at the occurrences at their club.

They conceded a first innings lead to Warwickshire but this awesome unbeaten partnership from home debutants Jack Leaning and Tom Price has got them over the line with aplomb.

Jack Leaning taking a single to start the fist pumps. off the final ball of an over he had taken for 15 off Warwickshire skipper Ed Barnard.

Standing ovation commences and much deserved it is.

Leaning finishing 120* and Tom Price on 70*, steering them from 184-5 to this victory target.

Wonderful shot by sub batter Sean Dickson to send sub bowler Lyndon James for four through the covers.

Glamorgan need 290 more runs to win with four wickets in hand. Seems... unlikely.

Another huge shout from Mitch Stanley and the Lancs fielders but umpire Sue Redfern is unmoved.

Brooke Guest immediately looked back to see whether that was caught, suggesting he thought he might have nicked it.
