Leics v Notts 279-2
Break in play while Josh Davey receives attention from the Leicestershire physio.
Not quite sure what's happened here but Davey, who appeared to slip over when the ball was coming to him in the outfield, is at least up.
It does not appear to have concerned his team-mates too much and the bowler is walking to the pavilion for an early tea.
Hants v Glam 251-1
Kiran Carlson has walked into a wonderful straight drive for four, flamingoed a six over square leg and then cut late for another four to move to a 16th first-class century.
It's 14 in three balls off Sonny Baker who has had no luck today.
That has been a superb knock, eclipsing the slower effort of Zain-ul-Hassan at the other end, and he has brought up a batting bonus point in the process.
Rew c Bean b White 7 (Somerset 35-3 v Yorkshire 162)
James Rew may be the third-highest run scorer in the County Championship Division One but he can't add many to his season total today.
Only seven in fact and he won't enjoy watching the dismissal back.
He steps across the crease and down the pitch a little but as he does so the bounce seems to catch him out and he edges it to Fin Bean who is in close at third slip.
A second wicket for Jack White who has 2-13 from six overs.
Middlesex 174-4 v Durham
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio Newcastle
It's a big day for the Durham bowler Luke Robinson. The 22-year-old wasn't in the starting 11 this morning, but is now making his first-class debut at Lord's as a substitute replacement for the injured Kemar Roach.
And his mum and dad just happen to be here to see if after deciding to head to London for a day at the cricket.
Robinson is a right-arm quick who has played five One-Day Cup matches and seven T20s. It will be interesting to see how he gets on.
I questioned earlier how Durham would cope without Roach? He walked off after 9.1 overs because of a groin strain. Middlesex were one wicket down at the time.
At lunch they were 82-1 and then three quick wickets fell as Sam Robson clipped Matty Potts to Kasey Aldridge at first slip on 87. Ben Raine then took two wickets in an over to see off Leus du Plooy for four and Ben Geddes for a third-baller.
Du Plooy was caught behind the delivery after he survived a huge shout for lbw. Geddes fell lbw.
Max Holden has just reached his half-century. It's come in a very patient 136 balls and included four boundaries.
Somerset 26-2 v Yorkshire 162
Anthony Gibson
BBC Radio Somerset
It was a pretty plum lbw and Tom Lammonby's disappointing run continues.
I'm not quite sure why he tried to turn that into mid-wicket - a straight ball like that. He missed it and paid the price.
This game is moving on rapidly.
Northants v Worcestershire 207-9
Frank Watson
BBC Hereford & Worcester
Even allowing for the excellence of the home side’s out cricket and in particular for the fine bowling of Ben Sanderson (4-57) Worcestershire must be disappointed with their batting effort on what I still think looks a pretty good pitch.
Gareth Roderick has been the stand-out batter, just reaching his century, but has deserved better support.
Ethan Brookes (32) and Beyers Swanepoel (17) promised to stick around but were unable to do so. Calvin Harrison with two catches and two wickets has played a big part.

Surrey v Sussex 250-8
The Sussex skipper is the third lower order Sussex batter to make a half-century.
Batters number eight, nine and 10 have all made 50 and Sussex needed them to having been 92-7 earlier.
What a fightback this has been from the visitors.
Hants v Glam 234-1
Michael Carberry
Former England batter on BBC Radio Lancashire
Sonny Baker has been very impressive with the ball again today. I think he's bowled with a lot of intelligence, he's been very patient.
Glamorgan have looked very comfortable at this stage.
Hants v Glam 234-1
Sonny Baker aside this is becoming a very flat bowling performance from Hants who are leaking runs to this pair.
Zain-ul-Hassan (85) and Kiran Carlson (88) are past the 150 mark for the second wicket.
Division Two latest
Kent captain Daniel Bell-Drummond has gone to a swashbuckling century at almost a run-a-ball. Most of his runs have come in boundaries, striking 18 fours and a six.
Kent are 252-5 against Derbyshire, a fine recovery from 93-4.
Worcestershire have crept past 200 at Northants, with Gareth Roderick unbeaten on 95. They're 201-9.
Middlesex are trying to rebuild after losing those three quick wickets against Durham and have moved to 168-4 at Lord's.
Lammonby lbw Richardson 5 (Somerset 26-2 v Yorkshire 162)
The wickets keep on coming.
Tom Lammonby tries to flick a straight ball from Jhye Richardson off his pads but misses so up goes the umpire's finger.
He might have been better off just defending that one.
Somerset two down now with 26 on the board and that means we will see the first of two Rew brothers batting.
James is the third-highest scorer in the County Championship this season. His brother Thomas is making his debut today and we will see him a little later.
Surrey v Sussex 240-8
Image source, ShutterstockJack Carson joins his former batting partner Fynn Hudson-Prentice in reaching a half-century.
After the swashbuckling scoring of earlier Carson took his time getting over the line.
His captain Ollie Robinson is close to a 50 as well and their partnership is worth 77.
Frustration for Surrey in the afternoon after a brilliant morning for them.
Leics v Notts 253-2
Ben Slater delivers the first bonus point of the match and it goes to the visitors who move past first base with a slapped drive through cover.
Somerset 25-1 v Yorkshire 162
Jonathan Doidge
BBC Radio Leeds cricket commentator
You couldn't say Archie Vaughan played a poor shot at that.
He just has a little push at a good delivery that's nipped on him and he's feathered it through to Jonny Bairstow, and Somerset join the procession of wickets now through Archie Vaughan.
Vaughan c Bairstow b White 7 (Somerset 25-1 v Yorkshire 162)
First one down for Yorkshire!
Jack White bowled well last week and is in the wickets again today, getting Archie Vaughan to feather it behind to Jonny Bairstow.
That brings Tom Lammonby into the action.
Somerset 17-0 v Yorkshire 162
A steady start for Somerset in the opening five overs.
Josh Thomas is on 10 from 14 and Archie Vaughan on seven from 18.
Leics v Notts 228-2
Nikesh Rughani
Commentator on BBC Radio Leicester
Big wicket for Ajaz Patel.
Ben Duckett gone for a really well-played 77 from just 88 deliveries, but it was fairly full, it was straight.
Duckett looked to play it into the leg side, misses it completely and the finger went straight up.
Leicestershire have finally have their second wicket.
Duckett lbw b Patel 77 (Leics v Notts 228-2)
Ben Duckett attempts to sweep and misses. Ajaz Patel raps him on the pad bang in front and his energetic little cameo is over.
The England opener looks a little aggrieved to have been given having got a little way down the wicket before attempting the shot.
But there was little doubt that would have knocked on wood had it been given free passage.
Leics v Notts 226-1
Richard Rae
BBC Radio Leicester Sport
Even though he did get a little bit tied down in getting to the landmark, it's still a pretty impressive effort by Ben Slater.
Ben Duckett is not far behind him.
Leics v Notts 226-1
Ben Slater has spent a little time in the nineties but has his single which brings up three figures – the 16th of his first-class career.
He is embraced by Ben Duckett and applauded by his team-mates on the away balcony.
It has taken him 152 balls and contained 15 fours.
