Lancs 121-9 v Somerset
A near yorker length ball from Lewis Gregory brings an end to Anderson Phillip's brief innings at Old Trafford.
A full complement of bowling points for second-placed Somerset - but how will they fare in seamer-friendly conditions when it is their turn to bat?

Kent v Notts 175-0
For those keeping tally, Kent have already sent down 22 no balls today.
The record in first-class cricket is the 65 that Somerset sent down at Glamorgan in 1994.
One to keep an eye on...

Glos 89-8 v Sussex
More agony for Gloucestershire.
Ollie Robinson directs one into the body of Zaman Akhter and he can only divert it through to keeper John Simpson, who takes his fourth catch of the innings.

Northants v Leics 120-4
Youthful abandon from Rahan Ahmed, who lofts Yuzi Chahal away for six after hitting a boundary earlier in the over. He is 13 not out and has now been joined by Louis Kimber.

Warks 78 v Essex 1-1
Bears hit back with an early wicket from OHD, pinning Robin Das in front of leg stump.
Was doing a bit initially but saved by the fact it straightened late.

Kent v Notts 168-0
What a brilliant 14th first-class century for Ben Slater.
He's been in complete control of bullying the Kent attack for 109 balls.
It is brought up with a cover drive to the boundary - his 18th four of the day.
50 for James Vincepublished at 13:37 British Summer Time

Hampshire 129-2 v Worcs
Five balls later and James Vince also reaches his half-century.
Equally streaky as it fires off the outside edge and to the ropes. It took him 92 balls.
WICKET Balderson c Overton b Gregory 1published at 13:36 British Summer Time

Lancs 115-8 v Somerset
Three wickets gone for one run.
Lewis Gregory angles one across George Balderson and Craig Overton takes a good catch by his left knee at third slip.
Anderson Phillip is Lancashire's number 10.

Hampshire 129-2 v Worcs
Nick Gubbins wins the race with James Vince to reach fifty first.
A slightly streak inside edge for a single but he's at the milestone in 106 balls.
The duo also passed a century stand a few moments ago. It feels like a very good batting pitch in the sun.

Lancs 115-7 v Somerset
Image source, Rex FeaturesWhat a beauty.
A magnificent delivery from Craig Overton is too much for George Bell, who becomes his fourth victim of the opening day.
Tom Bailey is the new batsman and Overton immediately finds the edge, but it drops short of the slips.
WICKET Gohar b Robinson 13published at 13:30 British Summer Time

Glos 79-7 v Sussex
Through the gate.
England's Ollie Robinson bowls Zafar Gohar as Sussex continue to work their way through the Gloucestershire's batting line-up.

Northants v Leics 109-4
Did that one keep a little low?
Sol Budinger's innings comes to an end as Jack White, bowling round the wicket, wins an lbw decision.

Warks 78 all out v Essex
Warwickshire have already been bowled out once by Essex for under three figures this season when they slumped to 94 against today's rivals at Chelmsford in May.
But they have comfortably eclipsed that with this 78 all out, their worst since last July when Middlesex bowled them out here for 60.
Essex's attack was faultless. One round after sending Nottinghamshire on their way for 93, they have removed Warwickshire in little more than a session.
Shane Snater deserved to be applauded off the field by his teammates having snagged the final wicket, his 5-13 in 7.4 overs, the eighth time he has a first class five.

Kent v Notts 153-0
New session, same as the last session.
Nathan Gilchrist is the no ball fiend this time as he begins the post-lunch era by overstepping, which Haseeb Hameed lavishly helps to the point boundary.
Kent just need to find some control from somewhere as the 150 is passed.
WICKET: Hannon-Dalby lbw b Snater 1published at 13:23 British Summer Time

Warks 78 all out v Essex
And that is that.
A five-for for Shane Snater who removes OHD lbw and well deserved.
A fine effort from Essex's bowlers.

Lancs 114-6 v Somerset
Two wickets in quick succession at the start of the afternoon session for Somerset, who have their second bowling point.
Craig Overton sends down a full-length inswinging delivery from round the wicket and Luke Wells is beaten on the inside edge as he tries to drive.
Overton now has 3-25 from 10.1 overs.

Northants v Leics 102-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesA boundary off Yuzi Chahal and Sol Budinger reaches his fourth first-class century from 82 balls faced.
He has curbed some of his natural attacking instincts in a good innings for his side, but Leicestershire will want him to build on this foundation and turn it into a 'biggie'.
WICKET Hurst lbw Gregory 11published at 13:18 British Summer Time

Lancs 114-5 v Somerset
The lunchtime bowling practice pays off for Lewis Gregory.
Matt Hurst plays slightly down the wrong line and he is gone.
Lancashire in all sorts of trouble now as George Bell joins Luke Wells.
