  1. 400 up for Worcestershirepublished at 17:48 BST

    Worcestershire 401-8 v Kent 196 - Worcs lead by 205 runs

    That is the first time Worcestershire have secured a fourth batting in a home match since the 2024 season.

    Might they now throw caution to the wind and go after a fifth?

    Their lead is over 200 so they can afford to go for it.

  2. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 17:45 BST

    Derbyshire 109-3 v Gloucestershire 498

    Quite high and travelling, but Cam Bancroft got hands to it leaping up to his right attempting an AFL-style mark in the cordon.

    Home skip and famous dual-sport man Wayne Madsen gets a life on 38 first ball of Gabe Bell's 11th over. Aussie dropping an Italian off an Aussie's bowling, though Wayne Madsen unlike the Manenti brothers and Joe Burns never played for Australia before Italy!

    Durham 250-9 v Lancs 370

    A batting point for Durham and brought up with a back foot cover drive from Callum Parkinson. Nice shot.

    Lancs are getting frustrated by this pair but they have to keep attacking.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:40 BST

    Jewell b GVB 28 (Derbyshire 108-2 v Gloucestershire 498)

    Graeme van Buuren's left-arm-spin gets the breakthrough.

    1-2 off his 1.2 overs so far has a nice look to it.

    It looped onto the stumps quite slowly past his forward push, potentially with an inside ege? Hard to tell from here.

    In-form all-rounder Martin Andersson in at five ahead of Brooke Guest and injury replacement Luis Reece.

  5. Postpublished at 17:39 BST

    Surrey 135-4 v Essex 409

    First boundary for Dan Lawrence who straight drives Noah Thain just to the leg-side of the stumps at the bowler's end.

    Time for some more Simon Harmer.

  6. Postpublished at 17:38 BST

    Notts 200-4 v Warks 459

    Joe Clarke plays Jordan Thompson back straight, the bowler throws down a hand to half stop it but it runs away and Notts take a single.

    It brings up the 200 mark which is another milestone reached in a 12 miles of the marathon sort of way. They still trail by 259.

  7. Postpublished at 17:36 BST

    Surrey 141-3 v Essex 409

    Who likes a good stat?

    The two wickets taken by Jamie Porter so far in this innings mean he now has 584 in first-class cricket.

    That is just three short of the total number of runs he has scored in the same 154 matches.

  8. Postpublished at 17:35 BST

    Durham 244-9 v Lancs 370

    Lancs captain Jimmy Anderson will be starting to gently fizz and not just because of the drop off his bowling in the previous over.

    Matthew Potts is going well on 46 and the deficit is already down to 126 runs which starts to look a little more manageable.

    There are 18 overs left in the day.

  9. First spin of the innings in Derbyshirepublished at 17:32 BST

    Derbyshire 103-2 v Gloucestershire 498

    Not the leg-spin of Ed Middleton on his first 1s appearance of the season, but the left-arm spin of Graeme van Buuren who is driven to mid on for one first ball by Caleb Jewell.

  10. ouch!

    Postpublished at 17:29 BST

    Yorkshire 151-1 v Sussex 502

    We're back under way at Headingley after a short injury break to allow Sam Whiteman to get some treatment.

    He seems to be fine and resumes on 56.

    About 15 overs remaining.

  11. dropped catch

    Parkinson on 5published at 17:28 BST

    Durham 235-9 v Lancs 370

    Michael Jones has moved to his left at first slip to grab off the edge of Callum Parkinson's bat but the ball has spilled.

    There is a bit of a gap between Smith and Matty Hurst with the gloves and arguably the latter should have made an attempt.

    The bowler Jimmy Anderson does not look hugely impressed as that would have been a wrap on the Durham innings.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:25 BST

    Patel c Byrom b Carlson 79 (Glam 440 v Leic 167-1)

    Kiran Carlson himself is the partnership breaker.

    Rishi Patel thinks he fancies a piece of the home captain's part-time spinners but top edges his slog sweep just past where the 30-yard circle might be, great catch from Eddie Byrom running backwards with the sun glaring into his eyes.

    He hit 14 boundaries in that knock.

    Ian Holland, a generally slower scoring batter, in at three with the run rate still at over five runs per over after 33 overs!

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:24 BST

    Pope c and b Porter 69 (Surrey 134-3 v Essex 409)

    Big wicket for Essex as Ollie Pope drives a fraction early and gives a return catch to Jamie Porter.

    He looks to the heavens momentarily and his demeanour, as he walks back to the Pavilion, is one of a man who feels he has not made the most of a good opportunity.

    Pope put on 105 with Dom Sibley, who has now been joined by Dan Lawrence.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:22 BST

    Swanepoel b Cohen 6 (Worcestershire 377-8 v Kent 196)

    Not the best way to lose your wicket on debut.

    Beyers Swanepoel leaves his bat dangling to a fairly normal Mikey Cohen delivery and manages to drag the ball back onto his stumps.

    I wonder what the Pears are thinking now in terms of how to play the closing stages of the day with a lead of 181 - they'll certainly want to get 400 and a fourth batting point as a first port of call.

  15. 100 runs

    stand for Surreypublished at 17:18 BST

    Surrey 131-3 v Essex 409

    Dom Sibley drives Noah Thain between cover and mid-off. Good fielding denies him a boundary but three runs bring up the century partnership with Ollie Pope.

  16. 150 up for Yorkshirepublished at 17:18 BST

    Yorkshire 150-1 v Sussex 502

    Sam Whiteman reaches a half-century and Finlay Bean is on 79 as Yorkshire reach 150 in 42.4 overs.

    As Adrian Harms mentioned at tea, this pitch is offering very little to the bowlers.

  17. Postpublished at 17:17 BST

    Durham 226-9 v Lancs 370

    Matthew Potts ambles through for a comfortable two to move to 37. His high score is a whopping 149 not out against Warks in April 2024 but a half century would be welcome here.

    Get Involvedpublished at 17:13 BST

    Lancs once again struggling to get 9, 10, jack out, they need to change the way they bowl at tailenders? This happens far to often!

  19. Postpublished at 17:12 BST

    Surrey 124-2 v Essex 409

    Essex aren't happy with the ball and the umpires approve a change.

    Jamie Porter will bowl the first over with the replacement, relieving Shane Snater.

    His first ball is short and Ollie Pope pulls for four - he is 63 not out.

  20. Postpublished at 17:09 BST

    Glam 440 v Leic 152-0

    This might make Mason Crane's 99 less impressive as Rishi Patel and Jake Weatherald make light of Glamorgan's 440.

    A bit like Surrey piling on runs at the Oval, Leicestershire simply went past them, there is a feeling this could happen again here.

    Ryan Hadley has bowled just six overs, the Aussie is back for a second spell against his countryman who is 77*.

    Patel is similarly 75*.

    Run rate still a healthy 5.19.
