  1. Thanks for your company

    Kumar SangakkaraRex Features

    That's about it for Friday's County Championship coverage. You can find a full list of today's seven scores at stumps here.

    And all today's reports can be found on the BBC cricket page.

    Do join us again tomorrow, when Kumar Sangakkara and Surrey will resume on 334-7 against Essex, while in the other Division One game, Somerset will resume on 157-5, trailing by just five runs.

    It's been a scorching day - have a fine evening. Good bye.

  2. Stumps on day one at Tunbridge Wells

    Kent 316-8 (96.0 overs) v Sussex

    And at stumps on day one, Kent will be relatively happy with their 316-8, while Sussex will want to get those two remaining wickets quickly in the morning so they can respond.

  3. Close of play on day two at Derby

    Derbyshire 154-1 (15.0 overs) v Leicestershire 619

    At stumps on day two in this one, Derbyshire are 465 runs behind, but not giving in, as Billy Godleman's 60 has given them real hope of at least avoiding the follow-on.

  4. Close - Worcestershire trail by 130

    Worcestershire 108-2 (31.0 overs) v Northamptonshire 238

    Day one ends at Northampton with Worcestershire 130 runs behind - but with eight wickets in hand.

    Daryl Mitchell has passed 50 for the visitors and will resume in the morning alongside Joe Clarke (13).

  5. Close - Surrey v Essex day one

    Surrey 334-7 (96.0 overs) v Essex

    Thanks largely to Kumar Sangakkara's unbeaten 177, Surrey close on 334-7... A fine recovery from 17-4 and 31-5 this morning.

    Division One leaders Essex began to toil in the field the longer a hot afternoon went on.

  6. Close of play - Durham all out

    Durham 342 (94.0 overs) v Glamorgan

    Astonishingly, Durham lose their final four wickets for no runs, with three wickets falling in their final four balls.

    Michael Hogan (5-49) is the happiest man in the Glamorgan camp as the players head to the dressing rooms.

    Birthday-boy Paul Collingwood's 127 helped build Durham's strong score, but they'll be disappointed not to have reached 350 for a fourth batting bonus point.

  7. Sangakkara and Surrey smiling

    Surrey 332-7 (94.0 overs) v Essex

    Meanwhile, at Chelmsford, where there are at least two overs remaining this evening, Kumar Sangakkara has now reached 175, from his 270 balls.

    That's his highest score for Surrey.

    Stuart Meaker is going well alongside him on 43.

  8. Close - Somerset trail by five runs

    Somerset 157-5 (44.0 overs) v Hampshire 162

    Trailing by five runs, Somerset will resume on Saturday morning on 157-5, after a fine day for them at Taunton.

    Spinner Jack Leach's six wickets did the main damage to Hampshire's innings earlier, before Dean Elgar and Tom Abell helped put Somerset in a strong position, looking for their first win of the season in Division One.

  9. Close - Hosts on top at Trent Bridge

    Nottinghamshire 357-5 (96.0 overs) v Gloucestershire

    A bad day for Gloucestershire ends, after they opted to field through an uncontested toss.

    Cheteshwar Pujara (112) and then Michael Lumb (117) shined for Nottinghamshire.

  10. Surrey building big score

    Surrey 319-7 (90.3 overs) v Essex

    Kumar Sangakkara's innings has been absolutely crucial for Surrey.

    If you're just joining us, you'll have no idea the visitors slipped to 17-4 this morning...

  11. BIRTHDAY TON FOR COLLINGWOOD AT 41

    Durham 316-6 (91.4 overs) v Glamorgan, (Collingwood 106*)

    How many times has Paul Collingwood come to Durham's rescue over the years? In the heat of Swansea and on a wicket difficult to judge, the captain has reached his 33rd century in first-class cricket.

    It came in 158 balls. He's also put on partnerships of 60 with Cameron Steel and 91 with Paul Coughlin.

    He scored 127 on his 39th birthday - that was on a similarly difficult pitch at Worcester. His runs in this one could prove vital.

  12. 150 runs

    150 for Sangakkara

    Surrey 299-7 (86.4 overs) v Essex

    Kumar SangakkaraRex Features

    Respectful applause rings out for Kumar Sangakkara - who has been marvellous today - as he passes 150.

    He's got more than half of his side's runs so far. He's on 151 from 248 balls, having hit 19 fours.

  13. wicket

    WICKET: Trego (c Ervine b Dawson) 14

    Somerset 141-5 (36.3 overs) v Hampshire 162

    Trailing by 21 runs, Somerset lose their fifth wicket, as Peter Trego goes for 14. He edges Liam Dawson's delivery to slip.

    Lewis Gregory heads out into the middle for the hosts.

  14. 100 runs

    100 for Collingwood at Swansea

    Durham 299-6 (88.3 overs) v Glamorgan

    Well played, Paul Collingwood. With his 17th boundary of the day, he gets his 33rd first-class ton.

  15. Lumb departs with Notts on top

    Nottinghamshire 342-5 (90.0 overs) v Gloucestershire

    After his 21st career ton, Michael Lumb is out for 117.

    But on 342-5 after 90 overs, Nottinghamshire are by far the happier side at Trent Bridge so far, having been put into bat by Gloucestershire this morning.

  16. Division Two latest

    Just to give you an overview of where things stand in Division Two...

    • Nottinghamshire (334-4) are in control against Gloucestershire
    • Worcestershire trail Northants by 154 runs, with eight wickets remaining
    • Kent (285-7) may well be slightly happier than Sussex, in a fairly even game
    • Durham (282-6) have had a reasonable day at Glamorgan
    • And, on day two, Derbyshire trail Leicestershire by a sizeable 498 runs.

  17. Kent 281-7 (85.2 overs) v Sussex

    Joe Denly has finally gone for 119, out lbw to Vernon Philander, after a magnificent knock.

    But Kent are still looking pretty strong on this first day.

  18. wicket

    WICKET: Elgar (c Bailey b Dawson) 60

    Somerset 121-4 (30.3 overs) v Hampshire 162

    With an outside edge, Dean Elgar goes for 60.

    Thats a really important wicket for Hampshire - they badly needed that.

    And you don't see many dismissals quite like this one - Elgar's outside edge ricocheted back off the wicketkeeper’s knee straight to George Bailey at short leg.

    In comes Peter Trego for Somerset, who will hope for some better luck.

  19. 100 runs

    Century for Lumb at Trent Bridge

    Nottinghamshire 316-4 (83.4 overs) v Gloucestershire

    With his 17th four of the day, Michael Lumb moves past 100. Well batted, sir.

    Gloucestershire are finding it tough in the field so far.

  20. Pujara falls for 112

    Nottinghamshire 307-4 (82 overs) v Gloucestershire

    A wonderful day for Cheteshwar Pujara comes to a close as he is caught behind the wicket from Craig Miles' bowling for 112.

    In his innings of 206 balls and 14 fours the Indian confirmed his status as a class act.

    Michael Lumb has 97 and is nearing his own ton, with Riki Wessels at the other end.
