5.30pm BST17:30

Jennings out to Mitch Claydon at the Riverside! He battled for 90 minutes for his 17 and Kent have Durham 35 for two.


5.29pm BST17:29

Stumps at Trent Bridge: Nottinghamshire 188 for nine.


5.27pm BST17:27

Getting a wee bit dark at Edgbaston. Umpires having a chat. Would think light might come on, and we have spin from both ends again.


5.24pm BST17:24

Just fantastic.

Big fan of this: Ollie Robinson, in the same over, is bowling seam to Luke Procter and off spin to Ben Duckett.

Division 2 is lawless

50 stand up between Davies and Abell… Playing nicely.


5.02pm BST17:02

Duckett is on the move…

Nifty few sweeps and that’s his 150 from 164 balls.

The third 50 has taken 36 balls 🙌🏿

4.58pm BST16:58

Rain at Trent Bridge! 188 for nine, just had two wickets in two balls.


4.56pm BST16:56

And now Notts are nine down! Direct hit gets Hutton. Ball and Gurney the last men standing… 188 for nine.


4.54pm BST16:54

Notts are eight down. Leach gets Taylor… 188 for eight.


4.45pm BST16:45

Shot! Abell sweeps Sunny Singh for six behind square. Poor Big Keef is off in the Hollies looking for it. 158 for four.


4.43pm BST16:43

An all-Kiwi wicket at Durham! Milne gets Latham. Durham 19 for one.


4.41pm BST16:41

It’s rather nice here in Birmingham, too! Still cloudy, but light and dry.

@willis_macp is there some sort of Northamptonshire micro-climate that I was previously unaware of?

4.35pm BST16:35

That’s that at the Ageas. What a frustrating day down there! Five overs early doors, then nothing. Surrey 16 without loss and back they will come tomorrow.


4.29pm BST16:29

Stumps at Leicester. The hosts are 90 for four against the Glosters.


4.21pm BST16:21

Wicket! Oh dear. Hildreth has played the flakiest little innings there. Sunny Singh has tossed one up, it’s turning and he’s taken Hildreth’s edge! Troddy does the rest at slip. He made 33. Somerset 131 for four, and Steve Davies, lovely Steve Davies, joins Abell.


4.16pm BST16:16

Tongue gets Read caught and bowled! 171 for seven are Notts. Sense that won’t be Read’s last innings at Trent Bridge….


4.15pm BST16:15

A century for Ben Duckett! That’s his third of the season. Class act, that boy. 128 balls, and arrives with his 13th four. Northants 180 for two.


4.08pm BST16:08

They are on their way back out here at Edgbaston. Somerset 117 for three.


3.55pm BST15:55

Raining again at the Ageas…


3.51pm BST15:51

Tea at Edgbaston! Somerset 117 for three with Hildreth and Abell together. 30 overs left in the day. Let’s hope it doesn’t rain again.


3.50pm BST15:50

Paul Coughlin’s side strain is going to keep him out for the season, I’m told.


3.46pm BST15:46

Wood playing for Durham, then. Good news.


3.46pm BST15:46

Wicket! Lord Byrom just reverse swept Sunny Singh for four. But he tried again, got a wee top edge and is caught at slip! Somerset are 114 for three.


3.44pm BST15:44

Durham: Latham, Jennings, Steel, Clark, Collingwood (c), Richardson (wk), Pringle, Wood, Weighell, Rushworth, Onions

Kent: Bell-Drummond, Dickson, Denly, Northeast (c), Billings (wk), Crawley, Stevens, Haggett, Milne, Qayyum, Claydon

Paul Coughlin’s side strain keeping him out, I presume.


3.42pm BST15:42

A theoretical 4.15pm restart at the Ageas, but every time they have looked like getting on again it’s rained. So my hopes are not up.


3.41pm BST15:41

Kent sack off the toss, and bowl first. Start in 20.


3.31pm BST15:31

4pm start at Durham! Toss soon.


3.30pm BST15:30

100 up for Somerset in a hurry. Spin from both ends. Bell under the lid at leg slip.


3.30pm BST15:30

Rain at Leicester…


3.23pm BST15:23

Tea at Wantage Road, where Northants are 144 for two. Duckett has 84.


3.19pm BST15:19

The Woosters have Notts on the rack. They are 135 for six as Read strides out after Tongue gets Hales…


3.07pm BST15:07

Wessels gone for a duck! Notts 121 for five. Barnard has four. Good thing Taylor is coming in at No7…


3.05pm BST15:05

So George Bartlett, batting No3 on first-class debut, got off the mark with a reverse-swept four off Jeetan. You’ll do, son…

But now he’s gone! The Other Ryan Sidebottom straight through him with a quicker ball! 72 for two…


3.02pm BST15:02

Barnard has Samit and Notts are 117 for four… Hales 24 off 22, joined by his mate Wessels.


3.00pm BST15:00

Duckett has raced to 75. When he’s hot he’s really hot…


2.53pm BST14:53

The Other Ryan Sidebottom coming on here. My first look at him.


2.52pm BST14:52

Here come cricketers!


2.51pm BST14:51

Rain has stopped. Covers coming up. Play starting in a couple of minutes and, I believe, 46 overs left in the day.


2.44pm BST14:44

Really light rain and the covers are going back on. Mop up continues.


2.38pm BST14:38

Two in an over at Trent Bridge! Barnard gets Pujara now! 82 for three. Hales in.


2.35pm BST14:35

Samit’s in at Trent Bridge. Ed Barnard – the Worcester Woakes – gets Jake Libby for 34. Notts 82 for two.

2.32pm BST14:32

A wicket at Wantage Road, as Wiese gets Newton. IVA Wakely in and Northants are 51 for one.


2.29pm BST14:29

Play at the Ageas at 2.45!

Play at Edgbaston at 2.50!


2.25pm BST14:25

50 for Ben Duckett! He loves playing Sussex. 282 not out against them at Wantage Road last year. Took 70 balls, with six fours. Northants 86 without loss.


2.15pm BST14:15

Play abandoned for the day at Headingley! If that’s a draw, a result here would suddenly be massive…


2.13pm BST14:13

Covers coming off! Inspection completed. More as I get it…


2.12pm BST14:12

Off for rain at Trent Bridge with Somerset 70 for one.

Clear up already underway here!
