County cricket: Surrey v Yorkshire, Kent v Somerset and more – live!

Injury update: Yorkshire’s Duanne Olivier won’t bowl for the remainder of this game because of pain in his hips. He’ll have a scan on return to Leeds.

Things pottering along swimmingly at Swansea (189-5) and Arundel (286-5), Beer just 19 runs away from a century.

Jordan Clark looking good with the bat and speedy between the wickets. A small complaint. Yorkshire’s players have numbers on their jumpers, Lancashire’s don’t. For spectators unfamiliar with the players, or even those who are familiar with them but struggle to distinguish between two six footish, strapping buff figures from 30 yards, it would be a simple thing to make the game more accessible.

And while my computer coughs, Clark is out for 26. Surrey 313, Patterson 5-81. And Morne Morkel is warming up with an ominous air.

My esteemed colleague has suggested that Jordan Thompson has the look of a young Fred Trueman, facially. Here is Jordan, for your contemplation who, incidentally, is a type one diabetic.

An early wicket here at Guildford. Morne Morkel caught in the first over at second slip. Surrey 291 for nine.

It’s fine at Guildford, we’ve even had patches of sunshine and I can see shirt sleeves, so play will start on time.

As it will at the World Cup game at Taunton, and as it will at Swansea and Arundel. They’ve called it quits at Welbeck, with the teams shaking hands on a draw.

But, excitingly, Rishabh Pant is going to fly in as India’s World Cup replacement for Shikhar Dhawan.

Good morning from leafy Surrey, home of both the Diggers and Dominic Raab. The weather is a bit blah, with showers due from the east mid-afternoon, which is a shame as the game is nicely poised after Steve Patterson’s golden arm struck thrice in an over towards the end of the day.

All eyes immediately to Canterbury where 22 wickets fell in the day: the skies are overcast, the covers are on but play is expected to start on time. It rained all night, it rains all day at Chester le Street, there will be no play before lunch at Grace Road, there is a pitch inspection at 10.30 at New Road, no news from Welbeck or Swansea as yet (don’t hold your breath) and at the moment it is clear at Arundel.

And some good news at last for the World Cup: it may be grey and chilly in Taunton, but play is expected to start on time for the Australia v Pakistan match.

Here’s some early reading from Andy Bull:
