SOMERSET'S SIZZLING AUSSIE

GIVE HIM AN OLIVIER AWARD
Derbyshire simply demolished Durham on Day One at Chester-le-Street, in large part down to the work of Duanne Olivier who took a five-wicket haul, as he helped bowl the opposition out for 96.

ROARING ON
Rory Burns has seen his name mentioned for international recognition, and he won't have done his chances any harm with this impressive knock to steer the control in Surrey's favour at Hampshire.
Another 💯 in the bag for @surreycricket's @roryburns17!

WHAT'S YOUR POYSDEN?
Warwickshire's dangerous leg-spinner Josh Poysden had a memorable day, recording a career best 5/29 to spin Glamorgan into a spot of trouble. Interestingly, the wicket he claimed to dismiss Andrew Salter was Warwickshire's 25,000 catch in competitive cricket, with Jeetan Patel claiming it.
END OF PLAY: Warwickshire finish day one on 24/2 (Bell 10* Trott 5*), 196 behind.
