Four wickets for Tom Norton

SCurran, Lawrence, Pope and Sibley fall as Surrey reach 42 for five. Young Tom Norton is enjoying a strong day.

Stokes drives a Guthrie full toss through the covers for another boundary...

Fifty for Ben Stokes!

A short delivery is pulled firmly for four through deep midwicket to reach fifty from 51 balls, including ten powerful boundaries.

Hampshire continue to struggle - Ali Orr is dismissed by Goodman. Hampshire sit at 66-6, ahead by 98. That total could prove decisive.

Stokes survives a chance

Harry Conway will want to forget this moment. Stokes on 43 edges high and Conway moves left then right but the ball slips through his hands. He drops his head in disappointment. Durham 96-3.

Oooof, Stokes hammers Procter down the ground off Procter's left hand. Ooooh, that could cause issues, the physio attends to what looks painful.

Surrey are 16 for three. Dom Sibley calls for a quick single but overlooks Ben Kellaway's sharp throw. Rory Burns departs unhappily. Tom Norton adds two more - one through Sam Curran's defenses and another persuading Dan Lawrence to edge to Cooke.

Lancs, batting second, have reached six without loss.

Vasconcelos moves to the stumps to offer quiet words to the No. 38.

Sanderson is being attacked - Stokes swivels and pulls a short ball to the rope. Another delivery soon follows to the boundary with quick footwork and a backhand through midwicket.

England selector Marcus North is in attendance at CLS just as Stokes strikes a 60-ball century.

Stokes focuses on boundaries - rocking back to cut Sanderson square for four. An attempted loft on the off side is stopped by Zaib. Durham 56-3, Stokes 20 not out from 18.

Five wickets for Stanley, four for Atkinson

Four economical wickets for Gus Atkinson as Glamorgan reach 358 - centuries for Cooke and Crane plus 80 from Colin Ingram, last man out.

Derbyshire hold a first-innings lead of 203 at Chesterfield - 75 from Ben Aitchison adds to Lancashire's woes. Anderson takes two late wickets.

Hampshire and Middlesex face tricky conditions. Hampshire 19-4 in their second innings, leading by 55. Tom Price takes three wickets.

Middlesex lose a third but Holden and Falkner resist at 47-3.

Stokes is active. After an inside edge he attacks Sanderson. Advancing down the pitch he drives straight for four. The next races between Sanderson's legs for another boundary - 12 not out.

Wooosh! Stokes gets off the mark, advancing to Conway and driving through mid-off for four.

Stokes arrives at the crease

Two quick Durham wickets after lunch - McKinney and Bedingham both caught behind. Northants fielders move briskly between ends with a bowling point secured. Durham 30-3.

Mason Crane and Rehan Ahmed score centuries

In Division One:

Mason Crane joins Cooke with a century against Surrey at Sophia Gardens. 103 not out marks his maiden hundred after earlier near-misses. Glamorgan 332-7.

After a strong 2025, Rehan Ahmed records his first century of the season to remind England of his talent. Leicestershire 236-3 lead Yorks by 51.

Notts match Essex's total with four wickets remaining.

Mousley (54) and Hain (55) build for Warwickshire against Somerset at Taunton - Warwicks 129-2.

Six wickets for Kyle Abbot as Sussex finish at 159. Hampshire reach 9-2 in their second innings.

(An early wicket at CLS - Lees lbw to Sanderson - but McKinney strikes two fine fours - Durham 14-1)

This final-wicket partnership frustrates Durham further - 32 and rising - until Guthrie clips Parkinson to Lees at midwicket. Northants finish on 450.

Updates from around the grounds in Division Two:

Four wickets for Mitchell Stanley - praised by Ali - in Derbyshire's 265-7. Dal and Aitchison continue to test Lancs. Derby lead by 106.

Kent, fresh from a three-day win over Lancs, reach 416 against Middlesex. Chris Benjamin tops the scoring with 70 and Seb Morgan claims a maiden five-wicket haul. Tom Helm takes four.

Gloucestershire lost their last three wickets for 32 this morning, Miles Hammond unbeaten on 139. Worcs reply at 24-0.

“Vasconinconsolable?” asks Tim Maitland. “You would imagine Ricardo Vasconcelos had suffered a king pair from his downcast walk off the field after a career-best 187.

Despite two centuries in April his form has been quiet since. A T20 score of 34 was his best since early May. Hopefully he will recover soon.”

Ben Raine replaces Stokes after a solid spell.

Free entry for Father's Day at Hove

A fine gesture from Hove - free admission tomorrow to watch Sussex, the team of the season, on Father's Day.

Tickets must be reserved online in advance for Sunday cricket. Sunday lunch at the carvery is also available to book.

Stokes believes he has Guthrie caught behind. He is convinced it is out. A sharp ball lifts from a length. Guthrie removes his helmet claiming a blow to the head. The physio checks for concussion while Stokes mutters and glares.

Whatever he said to Potts seems effective as Potts yorks Conway next ball. Conway lingers replaying the shot before departing for five.

A beauty from Potts! Broad departs with a flourish as the ball nips from the surface into middle stump. Northants 406-8 and Durham earn reward this morning.

Plenty of cricket to follow. Stay with CCLive but also check England's match at The Oval

and Ash Gardner with Beth Mooney in form against Netherlands in the WWCup.

From emails yesterday. Romeo hosts a pet corner on his site pairing pets with CCLive readers. Send a pet photo to romeoromeotangocclive@gmail.com if interested.

A breakthrough for Durham as Potts strikes, Vasconcelos edges behind for a superb 187 including 23 fours and two sixes, his career high. Still he leaves with head down and shoulders slumped.

An early wicket for Gus Atkinson at Sophia Gardens. Chris Cooke falls without adding to his overnight 101. Such dismissals happen often though stats would be interesting. Stokes bowls, Conway leaves one that nearly clips the stumps. Stokes exhales in frustration.

Ben Stokes switches ends this morning. With Potts operating from the other end it tests Vasconcelos and Conway early. Cheese scones from the health club at CLS come highly recommended.
