Joe Root's County Championship summer got off to a stuttering start after he was dismissed for just one in Yorkshire's clash with Warwickshire.

Root's England team-mate Harry Brook was also making his first domestic appearance of the season, and he hit 33 in Yorkshire's first-innings total of 205.

Ethan Bamber claimed five wickets for Warwickshire, who then closed on 161-6 from 43 overs in reply.

Zak Crawley did little to silence his England doubters by scoring only six against Middlesex at Lord's.

The Kent batter, who retained his place in the 13-man squad to face Zimbabwe later this month, was dismissed in single figures for the fourth time this season as his side were routed for 129.

Middlesex eased past that total and lead by 29 with four wickets down.

Spinner Jack Leach took 3-35 as Somerset dismissed Essex for 206, with uncapped England call-up Jordan Cox registering 26.
