    WICKET Hameed c Hosein b Hudson-Prentice 57published at 17:09 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 122-4 v Derbyshire 149

    It took a good ball to do it, but Haseeb Hameed is gone at Trent Bridge.

    He edges to the keeper and Fynn Hudson-Prentice has all four Notts wickets so far.

  2. 200 runs

    Glos 203-6 v Middx

    A point on the board for Gloucestershire and I'm sure welcome relief for many of their supporters who feared the worst this morning.

    They were stuck in and are missing captain Chris Dent and Ryan Higgins.

    Debutant Ollie Price has taken them past 200 and he's now in with his older brother Tom.

    How the pair play the second new ball due shortly will go a long way to deciding who claims the spoils at the end of the day.

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 34-4

    An error of judgement by Ryan Patel, who offers no stroke to a ball from Keith Barker and is bowled for 11.

    Two balls later, Jamie Smith does play a defensive shot but suffers the same fate as his off stump is knocked out of the ground.

    Barker now has a James Anderson-like 3-9 and a lot is depending on Hashim Amla for Surrey.

  4. Postpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 33-2

    No joy yet for Hampshire in the final session of the day. Hashim Amla is 20 not out and Ryan Patel has 10. A long way to go for Surrey, though, to reach their first target of avoiding the possibility of following on.

  5. Postpublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire 30-0 v Kent 74

    Things quietened down momentarily at Old Trafford following back-to-back maidens by Harry Podmore and Darren Stevens - but Keaton Jennings has just edged the first ball of a new Podmore over for four to reach double figures. Alex Davies is 20 not out at the other end.

  6. Postpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Northants 170 v Yorks 158 & 64-4

    A big wicket for Northants with Gary Ballance gone for 26 and the lead at 52.

    To borrow a phrase, he did not look happy, but the replay of his lbw to Simon Kerrigan looks pretty good.

  7. Postpublished at 16:48 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Warwickshire 174-3 v Durham

    Rob Yates moves into the 90s with two fours in the same Ben Raine over at Edgbaston. He made 104 against Worcestershire on the same ground in May and would love to surpass that today.

  8. 50 runs

    for Haseeb Hameedpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 110-3 v Derbyshire 149

    Haseeb Hameed has only played one second XI game since the end of May, but he's showing no signs of rustiness here.

    He reaches 50 from 95 balls by chopping Fynn Hudson-Prentice down past point for four - the seventh of his innings.

    As we mentioned earlier, England's top three all failed today. Wonder if Chris Silverwood is watching Hameed, or one of his 'spies', perhaps.

  9. Postpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 103-3 v Derbyshire 149

    Notts have passed 100 but they are now minus their captain, who was caught off Fynn Hudson-Prentice for 42, two balls after pulling him through mid-wicket for four.

    It was undistinguished shot, but a superb catch by first slip Ben Aitchison, who kept his eye on the ball as keeper Ben Duckett dived in front of him.

  10. Postpublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire 11-0 v Kent 74

    What can Kent's bowlers do in these conditions?

    A six by Alex Davies from the final delivery of Harry Podmore's opening over makes it a pretty expensive one for the visitors.

    Podmore dropped short and Davies rocked back before depositing it beyond the rope at mid-wicket.

  11. Postpublished at 16:28 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Glos 176-5 v Middlesex

    Gloucestershire have been going well today but they're now in a sticky spot.

    Glenn Phillips has just whacked one to mid-off and it brings Ollie Price to the crease on debut - with his brother Tom also to come.

    There's no much first-class pedigree about this lower order and Middlesex will sense a chance.

  12. Anderson produces 'masterclass'published at 16:23 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 74 - tea

    For the supporters inside Emirates Old Trafford who sat waiting in the rain this morning, their patience was rewarded by witnessing history.

    Bowling from the end that carries his name, James Anderson gave a masterclass of bowling.

    Inswing, outswing and pretty much unplayable, it was the most outstanding spell of 10 overs, 7-19.

    Anderson becomes the first Lancashire player to pass 1,000 first-class wickets since Jack Simmons in 1988.

    Josh Davey dismisses Marcus HarrisImage source, Rex

    The wicket of prolific Australian Marcus Harris on the stroke of tea confirmed this as another very good session for Somerset, after they'd taken their first innings to 461-9 before declaring.

    Craig Overton, captaining in the absence of both Tom Abell and Lewis Gregory, will be a particularly happy and relieved man, having dropped Lewis Hill at third slip in one over, and then redeemed himself by pinning him lbw in the next.

    A stat of note is that this was only the second time ever in first-class cricket that numbers 8,9 and 10 have all scored more than 75 in an innings, the other occasion being as far back as 2008.

  14. Tea at Edgbastonpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Warwickshire 146-3 v Durham

    A maiden by Ben Raine to Rob Yates ends the afternoon session - but Yates walks off with 74 not out against his name.

    Ben Stokes has bowled 13 overs so far in his first Championship game for Durham for three years and has figures of 1-46.

  15. Tea at the Ageas Bowlpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 16-2 - tea

    A single each for Hashim Amla and Ryan Patel off Kyle Abbott in the final over before tea. It has been a tough session for Surrey, who again had to toil in the field without New Zealand paceman Kyle Jamieson.

    His compatriot Colin de Grandhomme made a marvellous unbeaten 174 for Hampshire and shared a 10th-wicket partnership of 114 with Brad Wheal, who made 45.

  16. Tea at Hovepublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Sussex 226 v Glamorgan 146-5

    In the balance this one.

    Glamorgan made healthy progress but Sussex have chipped away.

    The visitors still 80 runs behind.

  17. Tea at Wantage Roadpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Northants 170 v Yorks 158 & 55-3

    A lead of 43 for Yorkshire in spinning condition at Wantage Road.

    Dom Bess took seven-for early and now Simon Kerrigan and Rob Keogh have been bowling in tandem for the hosts.

    How many would Yorkshire fancy defending?

  18. Tea at Tauntonpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Somerset 461-9d v Leics 60-3

    Leicestershire lose Marcus Harris on the stroke of tea and are in big trouble.

    The main reason being the giant total Somerset racked up early from their lower order.

    Josh Davey was one of them and he's picked up Harris.

  19. Lancashire wrap up Kent inningspublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Lancashire v Kent 74 - tea

    Kent's last-wicket partnership of 23 is the highest of their first innings - but now it's over after James Logan was caught behind off Danny Lamb for 11.

    Matt Quinn was caught at fine leg in the previous over but the fielder's foot was over the rope, so he was awarded a six and finished on 13 not out.

    Lamb takes 3-16 - but the demolisher in chief was James Anderson, with career-best figures of 7-19 from his 10 overs.

  20. Tea at Trent Bridgepublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 5 July 2021

    Notts 94-2 v Derbyshire 149 - tea

    With England's top three all failing today, Haseeb Hameed has chosen a good day to make some runs.

    He is 45 not out and Steven Mullaney has 36 and they have steadied the Notts innings since the two Bens - Slater and Compton - fell to successive deliveries with the score on 25.
