Keaton Jennings cracked a second hundred in two days as Durham dominated Somerset on day two of their County Championship clash at Emirates Riverside.

Graham Onions took 4-62 as Somerset were skittled out for 179, sharing six wickets with Chris Rushworth (3-70) in their opening spells as Somerset slipped to 85-7 - Chris Rogers run out for 23 a ball after Onions took his fourth.

With a first innings lead of 77 banked, Jennings then followed up his first-innings 116 with 105 not out as Durham closed on 223-4, Paul Collingwood also unbeaten on 39.

Surrey's star-studded batting line-up failed to avoid the follow-on against Nottinghamshire, slipping to 225 all out at Trent Bridge, Jackson Bird taking 4-56.

A succession of batsmen failed to capitalise on strong starts; Kumar Sangakkara (32), Jason Roy (28) and Ben Foakes (38) particularly guilty, as Notts pressed home their advantage on day two following their first-innings 446.

Surrey reached 14-0 after six overs of their second innings at stumps.

No play was possible on day two of Hampshire's game with Worcestershire at the Ageas Bowl due to rain.
