A rain-affected day comes to an end, but it's good to have County Championship cricket back and it's definitely Somerset who have had the best of the day and the weather, batting through a whole day uninterrupted.

Join us again for text and radio commentary of day two in nine matches from 10:45 BST on Friday.

Head to the BBC's county cricket page for reports of all of today's matches - some are already there and the rest will appear shortly.

Thanks for your company and your patience today. Fingers crossed for fewer stoppages on day two!

Division One

• Utilita Bowl: Hampshire 60-4 v Yorkshire 173
• Leicester: Leicestershire 113-7 v Glamorgan
• Taunton: Somerset 348-5 v Essex
• The Oval: Surrey 13-1 v Nottinghamshire 184

Division Two

• Derby: Derbyshire v Durham 102-2
• Cheltenham: Gloucestershire 107-5 v Worcestershire
• Old Trafford: Lancashire v Northamptonshire 56-2
• Northwood: Middlesex v Kent 299-6

This looked like it would be a tasty game before it started and we've certainly had a fascinating first day. 11 wickets fell in the 77 overs bowled.

On a green pitch, Notts were quickly in trouble as Dan Worrall and Matt Fisher produced a probing opening spell and the champions soon found themselves 41-5 and 98-7.

But Liam Patterson-White led a counter charge having come in at number eight. In entertaining fashion he scored an unbeaten 76 as Notts added 80 for the last two wickets. Tom Lawes took the final wicket to finish the innings with 5-45.

Crucially Notts struck early in the Surrey innings removing Dom Sibley for a duck before Rory Burns and night-watchman Matt FIsher saw it out.

All to play for going into Day Two.

All over for the day at Utilita Bowl, where 14 wickets have fallen on an eventful first day.

Yorkshire won the toss and chose to bat first but Kyle Abbott starred with the ball for Hampshire to leave them 83-7 and it needed some useful lower-order runs to get the visitors to 173.

George Hill led Yorkshire's fightback with the ball, taking three wickets late in the day.

Delicately poised.

Into the final over of the day's play.

A curtailed day at Leicester belonged to Glamorgan. Only 47 overs could be bowled, most of them in the morning session.

Leicestershire actually started quite steadily, getting through the first hour without scoring many runs. But the Welsh county claimed four wickets in the second hour before lunch. They got the fifth just after the interval and added two more in a 12-over spell at the end of the day.

It's been a team effort. All five bowlers used had claimed a wicket each before Timm van der Gugten became the first to take two.

Leicestershire's other loss came from the winner of the daftest run-out of the day award which saw Sheridon Gumbs stranded.

It is a strange-looking pitch with shaved ends and a green middle, so it'll be interesting to see how Glamorgan fare when they bat.

Those lower-order runs that Yorkshire managed earlier today, having been 83-7, are looking even more valuable now.

How crucial will that last-wicket stand of 53 prove to be in the wider context of the match?

Middlesex cannot claim a seventh Kent wicket and Ekansh Singh and Keith Dudgeon manage to add some handy runs in the last 4.3 overs of the day.

Earlier Sam Northeast with 87 and Zak Crawley's season-best 81 had threatened to drive Kent to a very big score but Middlesex have chipped away and kept the visitors in check somewhat.

Kent will be happy enough, but they are only in a strong position, not a dominant one.

This is a pretty rubbish time to bat for Kent pair Ekansh Singh and Keith Dudgeon.

A handful of overs to survive with little to gain and lots to lose.

Can Middlesex eke out one of them?

Rory Burns nearly gives his wicket away first ball.

Going for a run which wasn't there he's sent back by Dom Sibley and, had Olly Stone hit the stumps from square leg, it would have been out.

Tom Lawes has returned from playing for Sunrisers Leeds in the Hundred to take the fourth five-for of his first-class career.

He wraps up the Nottinghamshire innings by having Dillon Pennington caught behind, leaving Liam Patterson-White stranded on 76 not out.

Lawes, 5-45, will get the whole ball to himself for that.

Surrey will have to negotiate nine overs to the close.

Bad light has brought an early end to proceedings at the OneCoop County Ground.

Durham end the first day on 102-2, which is not a bad position to be in considering the rain interruptions and the cloudy conditions which have lingered when play has been possible.

Alex Lees and David Bedingham will resume on Friday morning, with plenty of batting power - including Ben Stokes - to follow.

No runs off the last two overs at Taunton so Somerset close on 348-5 - still two runs short of a third batting point.

With leaders Nottinghamshire having struggled today at The Oval and failing to gain any batting points, that third point for reaching 350 ought to come for second-placed Somerset first thing in the morning to further narrow the gap at the top.

Getting another 102 runs to reach 450 would give them maximum batting points to wipe out the Notts lead at the top completely.

But, getting 102 inside the first 14 overs of any day of red-ball cricket would be unlikely even if you were a fully trained Bazballer.

Another 52 to get a fourth batting point on 400? Now that's a bit more likely!

James Rew will return in the morning on 21, with Jake Ball yet to score.

Derbyshire v Durham 98-2

It's taken him 122 balls but Durham captain Alex Lees reaches his fifty against Derbyshire.

Five and a bit overs left in the day's play, which has been heavily truncated by rain.
