Charlie Tear given a life dropped in the slips by Craig Overton.

That is a collectors item.

He snatched at it a bit, he probably thought how on earth did I drop that as he is a mighty fine slip fielder and cricketer in general.

Runs continue to flow from David Bedingham's seemingly very large bat.

Ben Stokes just slotting into his slipstream with less of the strike thus far this morning.

Gloucestershire still relying on their young loanees JT Langridge and James Hayes, who have done admirably well when you consider who they are bowling at.

Conditions still gloomy up north so not suiting Sai Kishore yet really.

The sharp shower during warm-ups has past and we expect play to begin in 10 minutes at Sophia Gardens.

Another day of Sonny and showers?

Sussex 94-2 v Somerset 202

Back from the knee injury he sustained v Middlesex in the Blast in May, Tom Clark is back in the runs getting there with four of Miggy Pretorius having been more watchful off Lewis Gregory this morning.

52 from 51 deliveries with eight fours and one six.

Home fans are particularly grateful that he will be playing here next season, read the below for more information on that:

Clark 1 year extension at Sussex

Under 100 overs to go at Hove!

Serious value for money by the seaside today as they endeavour to make up overs lost to bad light yesterday.

That's the beauty of the CC, Sam, who knows what the next three days might bring?

We have started on time in CLS, despite the fact there was plenty of rain overnight. There is some in the forecast later this afternoon, but it is very overcast and muggy on the banks of The Wear.

When the players came out the umpires seemed happy with the light but as the first over developed a dark cloud drifted in and the floodlights are now on. They were on all day yesterday.

Durham bowled Gloucestershire out for just 137 yesterday and will soon be in the lead - as long as the light holds. We lost 26 overs to the elements late yesterday so the plan is for 104 overs today - if the weather allows.

We have already seen a bit of action in the first over, with David Bedingham lofting JT Langridge into the East Stand for six. He now has 69.

Full and wide from Ethan Bamber and Ben Martindale cashes in, driving through the covers for four.

A straighter drive, but the same result as Martindale picks up back-to-back boundaries.

A backfoot punch brings four more and takes the Notts opener to 15. His first highest first-class score - albeit it's only his second match.

Michael has clearly put a lot of thought into this for 11am on a weekday morning. What say you?

Nice try, Sam...

Ben Sanderson gets us under way at Northampton and Zak Crawley is quickly into his stride, adding six runs to his overnight 82 from the opening over.

Ben Compton nicks a single from his first ball of the day to Liam Guthrie.

Another single from Crawley takes him within 11 of his ton.

I had the most glorious of British evenings last night.

Sitting in a lovely seaside pub, eating fish and chips, while it poured down with rain. Glorious.

All of that means that, despite it being dry here in Scarborough, we are awaiting a restart. Some, we understand, think we might get on at 12, others after lunch.

But rain is expected today, so I fear that when we are ready to come back on, and things have dried, the rain might come again. But let's hope we can get back on - this match is delicately poised and we might be set for a fascinating encounter.

Durham 100-3 v Glos 137

Just five balls into the day the Division Two leaders' Test star David Bedingham shows his class, whipping James Thomas Langridge over the rope for six.

The angle of left-arm inswing pushed that ball into his arc, Bedingham's body language dismissively saying 'you're not good enough to bowl at me champ.'

Langridge is no rarity here though, one of many to feel inferior bowling to Bedingham at Chester-le-Street in recent years.

Fellow loanee James Hayes opens the bowling from t'other end.

It almost feels unfair for youngsters to have to bowl at this pair, some learning curve.

We have our first action in two Division Two matches, 24 hours late, but better late than never...

Worcestershire have won the toss at New Road and opted to bowl first against Lancashire.

Matty Hurst and Tom Aspinwall come in for the Red Rose and Hurst opens with Keaton Jennings.

Middlesex have won the toss and also opted to bowl at Derbyshire, with Harry Came and Caleb Jewell opening up and Toby Roland-Jones taking the new ball.

Ethan Bamber sends down the first over and Ben Martindale scampers through for a leg bye from the first ball.

Hasseb Hameed aims a loose drive to his second ball which swings away past the edge and will encourage the four slips.

Olly Hannon-Dalby to open up at the other end.

Ben Stokes, yet to get off the mark having only faced two balls before early close last night, faces up to Somerset seamer JT Langridge, whom many thought would replace the injured Jake Ball at Hove for Somerset this round.

Langridge is one of three loanee seamers in a very unexpected bowling attack for Gloucestershire up in the North East, two of their own, Aman Rao and Ed Middleton not picked for this one.

Under way on time at Chelmsford, where Tom Westley and Dean Elgar resume batting for the hosts.

Surrey, only three points above the Division One drop zone, will want early wickets in humid conditions.

Essex are hunting a decent lead after bowling out their opponents for just 183 on day one.

No choice to be made by Lewis Gregory this morning, Migael Pretorius has to open the bowling to complete the South African's third over of this match as light curtailed play early yesterday evening.

Charlie Tear takes strike on 10* with Tom Clark on 45* at the non-striker's end.
