An up-and-down morning for Worcestershire against Durham, in a match that was delayed by rain yesterday.

The hosts have lost two early wickets to be nine down, but have just crept past the 250-mark to pick up a bonus point.

Ben Stokes is about to come in for his first spell of the day for Durham.

Derbyshire also lost a couple of early wickets against Northants, but have powered on since and are 390-5. Ten more runs in the next three overs and that’ll be another bonus point.

Wayne Madsen was dismissed for 59 earlier, having yesterday become the second player to reach 24,000 runs for his county in all forms of the game – emulating Kim Barnett in 1992.

Kent’s chase of Gloucestershire’s 325 isn’t exactly going to plan, the visitors already 48-3 in Bristol, having lost Zak Crawley, Sam Northeast and Mikey Cohen. Will Williams taking two wickets for the home side.
