Glamorgan 3-4-8 v Worcestershire 267Glamorgan earned a first innings lead after century-maker Jacques Rudolph and Chris Cooke set a new County seventh wicket record in County Championship matches against Worcestershire on day two at New Road.The duo added 168 in 50 overs and turned the game on its head after Glamorgan had been in deep trouble on 58-6 yesterday evening in reply to the home side's 267.Their partnership surpassed the 106 by Jonathan Hughes and Robert Croft on the same ground in 2002.Rudolph reached the 51st first class ton of his career off 158 balls with 13 fours before he and Cooke were dismissed in the same over from Joe Leach.Cooke, whose 93 of 153 balls contained a six and 11 fours, was caught at short mid on while Rudolph (111) went for a cut and was bowled.Futher resistance came from Lukas Carey (29) and Andrew Salter (42) during an unbroken stand of 77 as Glamorgan reached 304-8 by tea. -

Sussex 177-7 v Leicestershire 340Sussex lost four wickets in the afternoon session as Leicestershire continued to press home their advantage in the Division Two county championship match at the Fischer County Ground.Luke Wright and Harry Finch had added 65 for the fourth wicket when Wright, who had hit eight fours in going to 36, tried to pull a delivery from Ben Raine which kept low, and lost his off-stump.The bounce was becoming increasingly unpredictable, and Michael Burgess, formerly of Leicestershire, never looked comfortable before going leg before to Clint McKay.

Notts 125-2 v Gloucestershire 303Nottinghamshire progressed slowly but surely between lunch and tea in response to Gloucestershire's first innings total of 303 all out.
Resuming after lunch on 32 for 0, openers Steven Mullaney and Jake Libby took the visitors to 72 for 0 on a Bristol wicket that was slow, but of even bounce.
However, having looked in precious little trouble up to that point, they lost two quick wickets. First, Mullaney chanced his arm and was duly caught at mid-off, by David Payne, off the bowling of Graeme van Buuren for 38. Then, Libby, who had been particularly watchful in reaching 30, departed in the very next over when he edged a Craig Miles delivery to wicket keeper Gareth Roderick.
Cheteshwar Punjara and Samit Patel provided an even keel during the remainder of the session and took Notts through the 100 run barrier without any serious alarms.
Van Buuren continued to bowl with terrific accuracy and received good support from the likes of Miles and Payne.
At tea, Notts were 125 for 2 off 48 overs. -
Essex 134-4 trail Surrey 399 by 265 runsAn unbroken stand of 55 between skipper Ryan ten Doeschate and Ravi Bopara revived Essex after skipper Gareth Batty had lifted Surrey hopes with two quick wickets on the second day at Guildford.Batty picked up Nick Browne (43), lbw working to leg, and then had Dan Lawrence cutting to backward point for 21 as Essex, replying to Surrey’s 399, wobbled on 134 for 4.But Bopara and ten Doeschate played with freedom and both had 31 at the interval, Bopara having scattered spectators with a flat six off Batty as they reached 189 for 4.Essex lost three wickets in the session with left-armer Mark Footitt benefitting from a change of ends when he squared up Tom Westley (22) and had him caught behind.Earlier, Surrey had lost their last four wickets for seven in four overs as they just missed out on maximum batting points.Mark Stoneman also missed out on a maiden double hundred when his six-and-a-half hour innings ended on 197, caught behind by a diving James Foster. It was still Stoneman’s career-best score.

Durham 142-2 lead Kent by 365 runsDurham again enjoyed the better of a session here in Canterbury where the basement side went in at tea on 142 for two after 50 overs of their second innings.Having opted against enforcing the follow-on; Durham lost Keaton Jennings for a first ball duck, then, soon after lunch, Cook nicked to the keeper to depart four short of his 50.Otherwise it was plain sailing for the visitors as they added exactly 100 runs in the mid session to extend their overall match lead to 365 runs.Kent suffered an injury blow before tea when Sean Dickson, their short leg fielder, went off after taking a blow on the back of the neck following Graham Clark's full blooded sweep shot.

Yorkshire 35-1 lead Somerset by 11 runsA fascinating second day at Taunton sees Yorkshire 13 runs ahead at tea with nine second innings wickets remaining.
Starting the morning on 41 for three, Somerset’s late order batsmen helped them past the 200 mark and to a batting bonus point.A welcome 35 from Steve Davies, 43 from all-rounder Lewis Gregory and an unbeaten 44 from Craig Overton, his best of the season, saw the hosts to 224 all out.
Veteran seamer Ryan Sidebottom ended with five for 56, claiming his 750th first class wicket on the way.
Batting for a second time, Yorkshire had reached 35 by tea for the loss of Adam Lyth, lbw to off-spinner Dom Bess for ten. -
Northants 176-1 lead Derbyshire by 218 runsRob Newton made his second half-century of the match as Northamptonshire moved into a very strong position against Derbyshire by tea on the second day at Wantage Road, 176 for 1 and a lead of 218.Newton, who was awarded his county cap before the game, followed up a first-innings 67 with another fifty in 66 balls and eight fours. He went to tea 89 not out, feeding off some ill-disciplined bowling, cutting well and working around a Derbyshire attack looking shorn of enthusiasm.That might have been expected with the wicket of Max Holden - pinned lbw by a Conor McKerr yorker for 31 - their only success in 51 overs.Tom Taylor provided some hope with an excellent second spell from the Wantage Road end where he beat the bat with deliveries of variable bounce but generally batting was straightforward as Northants looked to build a lead to take the game away from Derbyshire.

This made me laugh, I do wonder if we are getting to the moment where like Buttler in the UAE Tests he needs taking out for his own good
To be fair, that was a useful boundary first ball from Jason Roy. Should be enough to keep him in ahead of Bairstow next match. #bbccricket

Somerset 224 lead Yorkshire 202 by 22 runsKyle Carver has been spotted with the ball in his hand - and it has brought to an end Somerset's firstinnings. He has dismissed Dom bess, who hit around him usefully for 24, in classical SLA style, slikght turn and a catch at first slp.Yorkshire picked Carver ahead of Brooks yet have hardly bowled him. He might bowl more in the fourth dig but at this point either the selection was dodgy or his under-use is - as the offspin of Azeem rafiq has been fallible.Useful runs for Craig Overton.Somerset lead 22.
