County Championship: Steven Patterson six-for gives Yorkshire the edge at Durham

Steven Patterson took 6-56 as Yorkshire bowled Durham out for just 172 on day one of their Specsavers County Championship Division One clash at Chester-le-Street.

After a brief delay for rain in the morning session, Durham's openers got off to a solid start. However, after Josh Shaw bowled Keaton Jennings (20) to end a 49-run stand, the wickets began to tumble.

Scott Borthwick was run out before Patterson ran through the Durham middle-order. Jack Burnham top-scored for the hosts with 49 and he was the final wicket to fall, caught by Kane Williamson to give Patterson his sixth scalp.

Yorkshire lost Adam Lyth for just 12 in their reply and Williamson fell for 10, Chris Rushworth taking both wickets, but Alex Lees and Gary Ballance took Jason Gillespie's men past the 100 mark.

Lees (71) was bowled by Rushworth (4-42) and the seamer struck again two balls later to dismiss Patterson as Yorkshire closed on 129-4, trailing by just 43.

Nottinghamshire closed on 82-2 at the end of day two against Surrey as rain meant it was not until 4:15pm that play began.

When the action did eventually get under way on day two, Surrey added just 24 to their overnight total before they were bowled out for 323.

Jake Ball (4-85) had Gareth Batty caught behind to pick up his fourth wicket before Stuart Meaker was caught and bowled by Samit Patel (2-44) to end the innings.

Notts lost Jake Libby early, Ravi Rampaul getting him lbw, and Zafar Ansari then bowled Steven Mullaney to leave them 50-2 but Michael Lumb (23no) and Brendan Taylor (13no) saw them through to stumps without any further damage.

Lancashire finished day one at Old Trafford on 196-4 after being put in to bat by Warwickshire, rain having wiped out the morning session.

The hosts then found themselves two wickets down with just six on the board and both openers back in the hutch - Keith Barker having Tom Smith (2) caught behind and Haseeb Hameed (0) trapped lbw by Rikki Clarke.

Luke Procter (36) and Alviro Petersen (25) staged a fightback of sorts but Jeetan Patel (2-50) accounted for both to leave Ashley Giles' men in trouble again on 91-4.

However, an unbeaten stand of 105 between captain Steven Croft (82no) and Karl Brown (41no) steadied the ship and puts Lancashire in a decent position going into day two.

In Division Two, Graham Wagg and Craig Meschede put on 160 for the seventh wicket as Glamorgan recovered from 137-6 to reach 351 on day two against Kent.

Rain prevented any play in the morning session at Sophia Gardens and when they did resume after lunch, Mitchell Claydon took three quick wickets to see Glamorgan slip from 93-2 to 129-5, and when Calum Haggett then got rid of David Lloyd it was 137-6.

However, Wagg (83) and Meschede (78) showed great resolve and had taken their side to within three of 300 when Claydon (5-106) removed the former. That sparked another burst of wickets to see Glamorgan bowled out for 351.

Tasked with seeing out the final six overs of the day, Kent openers Daniel Bell-Drummond and Tom Latham did just that, taking their side to 10-0 at stumps.

Essex will resume on 266-9 against Leicestershire on day three at Chelmsford after rain prevented any play on day two.

Heavy and persistent rain saw the umpires take the decision to abandon the day's play less than half an hour after the action was due to get under way.

Derbyshire and Worcestershire will return tomorrow morning hoping to get their game under way after the decision was made to abandon the day's play without a ball being bowled.
