  1. 50 runs

    for Rory Burnspublished at 12:38 BST 2 May

    Surrey 105-0 v Sussex 358-9 dec

    A couple of fours off the bowling of Jack Carson take Rory Burns to a half-century and his side over 100 runs without loss.

    Dom Sibley is on 46 not out at the other end.

  2. 100 runs

    for Higginspublished at 12:38 BST 2 May

    Middlesex 356-6 v Durham

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    It's taken him 217 balls but Ryan Higgins has reached his first century since 2024.

    He was dropped at deep mid-wicket yesterday, on 26, by substitute debutant Luke Robinson. It was coincidentally a Robinson delivery, which was despatched for four, which took him to three figures. The knock included eight boundaries.

    That four also brought up the 350 for Middlesex.

    Dropped catches have proven costly. Sam Robson was put down by the keeper yesterday when on six and went on to make 87.

  3. new ball

    New (old) ballpublished at 12:34 BST 2 May

    Leics v Notts 484-9

    Leics have got a new old ball to work with. Just the one wicket to get with it and Ajaz Patel is the man entrusted with the task.

  4. 'Ingram knew he was in trouble'published at 12:32 BST 2 May

    Hants v Glam 458-5

    Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    Colin Ingram got right underneath that and he knew from the moment it came off the bat, he knew he was in trouble.

    Sonny Baker picks up his first wicket.

  5. 250 up for Somersetpublished at 12:29 BST 2 May

    Somerset 252-7 v Yorkshire 162 – Somerset lead by 90

    Will Smeed has made a good contribution since coming in, showing good red ball nous after reversing his decision to retire from the four-day game.

    Lewis Gregory, who took 6-43 with the ball yesterday, is at the other end on 10.

    A first batting point for the hosts.

  6. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:26 BST 2 May

    Ingram c Middleton b Baker 32 (Hants v Glam 458-5)

    Sonny Baker has been stuck on 13 wickets for the season – a Baker's dozen if you like – but he has moved to 14 with a first in this match.

    Colin Ingram aims a stiff-armed jab at an inocuous delivery angled across him but loops it up to Fletcha Middleton at midwicket.

  8. 'A very good morning for Yorkshire'published at 12:20 BST 2 May

    Somerset 229-7 v Yorkshire 162

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    It's been a very good morning for Yorkshire. They've taken four Somerset wickets now.

    It was a good delivery by Logan van Beek.

  9. Methodical progress from Middlesexpublished at 12:17 BST 2 May

    Middlesex 339-6 v Durham

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    It's fair to say the first half hour - or more - of day two was a hard watch. Middlesex pair Ryan Higgins and Zafar Gohar were very watchful, with only 10 runs added in the first nine overs.

    Things were so slow, it looked like they weren't going to bother trying to reach a second batting point. But with 19 runs needed in five overs Higgins decided to put his foot down and we suddenly had a few runs on the board.

    They were on 318-6 when the 110 overs were complete, meaning both sides took two bonus points. The 50 partnership came a few moments later.

    Higgins is eyeing the 13th century of his first-class career. He's currently on 93. Gohar has 30.

    Serene progress for Surrey's Rory Burns (33*) and Dom Sibley (41*) with Sussex unable to budge the seasoned home openers so far.

  11. 'What a morning Green's having'published at 12:14 BST 2 May

    Leics v Notts 451-9

    Richard Rae
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    Ben Green has a sevenfer.

    What a morning he's having to go with a pretty good day yesterday.

    A couple of days to remember for him.

  12. Postpublished at 12:14 BST 2 May

    Somerset 229-7 v Yorkshire 162 – Somerset lead by 67

    Somerset are 28-4 in this session.

    The White Rose are hitting back after what skipper Jonny Bairstow called an "unacceptable" performance on day one.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:11 BST 2 May

    Overton b Van Beek 1 (Somerset 229-7 v Yorkshire 162 – Somerset lead by 67)

    It's turning into an excellent morning for Yorkshire who now have a fourth wicket of the day!

    Yorkshire bowler Logan van Beek breaks his duck with a brilliant delivery to clean bowl Craig Overton.

    It's a beauty and Overton can't do too much about that one.

    The commentary team had just been saying how well Overton had been batting this season!

  14. 'You have to appreciate a knock like that'published at 12:11 BST 2 May

    Hants v Glam 415-3

    Rob Phillips
    BBC Radio Wales commentator

    That was a tame end, but Kiran Carlson walks off to a deserved applause.

    You have to appreciate a knock like that, he set the tone today as well.

  15. 'Notts miss out on maximum batting points'published at 12:08 BST 2 May

    Leics v Notts 449-8

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    Nottinghamshire miss out on maximum batting points.

    Liam Patterson-White for the third innings a row is out for five and Ben Green has a sixfer.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:07 BST 2 May

    Hutton c Cox b Green 0 (Leics v Notts 451-9)

    Another perfect delivery that just shows that pace is not everything.

    Ben Green is not express but he puts it on a sixpence and kisses the edge of Brett Hutton's bat.

    Ben Cox takes the catch behind the stumps and Green has 7-111.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:05 BST 2 May

    Carlson c Currie b Organ 209 (Hants v Glam 436-4)

    A tame end to a magnificent knock.

    Kiran Carlson aims a loose-limbed drive at an unthreatening delivery from Felix Organ and takes a hand off the bat in the process.

    He doesn't get hold of it and chips to Scott Currie at cover.

    That has been a captain's innings given he came in at 79-1 and left his side in significantly better shape at 436-4.

  18. 'Carlson leading by example'published at 12:04 BST 2 May

    Hants v Glam 415-3

    Rob Phillips
    BBC Radio Wales commentator

    This is the best-ever score for Kiran Carlson.

    What a game he's having!

    He's in terrific form, leading by example. He's really enjoying himself out there.

    It's been a brilliantly-paced innings by the Glamorgan skipper.

  19. wicket

    And Ben Green has a sixth and his best ever bowling figures with 6-110.

    Liam Patterson-White has an airy drive at a ball put on a nagging length and slightly loses his balance as he edges it to Ben Cox.

    Leics have battled back well this morning taking 4-45.

  20. 'Scriven was finding good movement'published at 12:01 BST 2 May

    Leics v Notts 442-7

    Richard Rae
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    That wicket possibly had been coming in that Tom Scriven was finding good movement.

    Joe Clarke was moving across, he was on the backfoot and it did come back in.

    It was plum.
