Simon Harmer likes them on his legs and puts away a ball from Jordan Clark for four. He's been in decent batting nick so far this season.

Mo Abbas has his wicketkeeper up to the stumps as he bowls outside off to Will Williams who leaves extravagantly.

Waiting for the inducker that got Ed Middleton.

The caught behind appeals are turned down.

Another maiden for the former Pakistan international.

There is the fourth batting point for Sussex.

John Simpson, appropriately, gets his side there.

It's hard to see them reaching a fifth batting point in the next three and a half overs but having been put in to bat they will be pleased with their haul.

Glamorgan do not seem that keen to push for 400 for a fourth batting bonus point.

30 needed off three overs, but Ajaz Patel is driven for four first ball of his 33rd over.

He does have a hundred to his name, the first in this game, more often referred to as a gallon when talking bowling centuries...

Surrey v Essex 366-6

Noah Thain square drives Tom Lawes for four and then adds a single in the next over, bowled by Jordan Clark, as he reaches 50 for the fourth time in a first-class game.

This one has taken him 102 balls and he also has a 50 partnership with Simon Harmer, who is fortunate when he edges just short of Rory Burns at slip.

Having been 13-2, Yorkshire have recovered to 80-2 in the 17th over in the Roses match at Old Trafford, with Jess Jonassen and Sterre Kalis both into the 30s.

Heather Knight is 34 not out in Somerset's 76-2 in the 18th over against Surrey at Taunton.

Durham are 77-3 in the 18th over against Hampshire and Grace Ballinger has two wickets for The Blaze against Essex, who are 69-3 in the 21st.

58* from the former international leg-spinner.

Glamorgan going at a healthy rate of 3.48 runs an over chasing the 400, needing 35 runs off five more overs to get four out of five possible batting bonus points, which would be a decent effort remembering noone's notched an individual century yet for Glamorgan...

Could Mason Crane even change that...?

Stay tuned!

By Gus Atkinson's standards, that's a very poor delivery, outside leg stump, and Noah Thain clips it away for four.

A new Gus Atkinson over, Simon Harmer pushes forward in defence and a single earns a third batting point for Essex. They have seven and a bit overs left to try and add 50 and pick up another one.

James Anderson sends one across the defences of Alex Lees as Durham get their reply going, the opener making no attempt to play with an extravagant leave.

Jordan Clark overpitches and Noah Thain cover drives for his first boundary of the day. He is 41 not out.

"There's no margin for error here," said BBC Essex's Nick Gledhill.

Mason Crane is unfurling all the shots now as Josh Davey continues to get hit around Cardiff.

This one is a long half volley walloped through the covers for four by the tailender.

Davey has gone for 76 off just 21 wicketless overs now.

How often is Mason Crane the aggressor over Timm van der Gugten?

Not often, but vdG is more than happy to cruise in his slip stream here.

Shot, sir.

A huge six as Josh Tongue bangs it in short and Ed Barnard sends it over the rope at deep midwicket.

That was a belter and he follows it up by lifting it over the cordon to third man.

Barnard looks in superb nick here.

Notts v Warks

Ed Barnard drops it down off his hip off Josh Tongue and strolls through for his 150.

That has taken five hours, 202 balls and has contained 20 fours and a six.

A captain's knock if ever there was one given he came in at 97-4.
