Kumar Sangakkara’s unbeaten 180 put Surrey in charge against Yorkshire in Division One of the Specsavers County Championship at Headingley.

The former Sri Lanka Test batsman hit 21 fours and four sixes in a four-hour stay at the crease as he became the first batsman to pass 1,000 championship runs this season to help Surrey declare on 516 for seven.

In a rain-hit match Yorkshire were 21 for one in reply at the close, having lost opener Adam Lyth to trail by 489 runs.

There was a second wicket of the match for England seamer James Anderson in Lancashire’s finely-balanced game with Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

Anderson caught and bowled Sam Hain as Warwickshire finished the day on 259 for seven in reply to the visitors’ 273.

There were contrasting fortunes for former England team-mates Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell who scored 56 and nought respectively for Warwickshire.

Somerset lost former England opener Marcus Trescothick for just 13 as rain meant only a handful of overs were possible against Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl.

The visitors were 43 for one at the early close in reply to the home side’s 211 for nine delcared having added 25 runs to their overnight score.

A second century of the summer from Worcestershire opener Brett D’Oliveira left the visitors on top against Durham at Chester-le-Street in Division Two.

D’Oliveira scored 122 as Worcestershire finished the day on 367 in reply to the home side’s 197 for a lead of 170 runs when rain forced a premature end.

England team-mates Mark Wood and Ben Stokes had differing days, with the former finishing with five for 54 and the latter wicketless.

England one-day batsman Alex Hales continued his fine summer with a half-century for leaders Nottinghamshire against promotion rivals Kent at Trent Bridge.

Hales scored 85 out of Nottinghamshire’s first-innings 371, but he was overshadowed by Steven Mullaney scoring a career-best 168 at Trent Bridge. By the close Kent were 105 for four in their second innings to trail by 86 runs and facing a difficult task to save the match.

Leicestershire’s batsmen struggled against Northamptonshire at Wantage Road as only five made it into double figures, Lewis Hill the top scorer with an unbeaten 38 out of a first-innings total of 157.

Richard Gleeson, Azharullah and Ben Sanderson took three wickets each for Northamptonshire who ended the day on 60 for three in their second innings to lead by 164 runs.

Tony Palladino’s four wickets for 36 gave Derbyshire the edge against Glamorgan at SSE Swalec as the visitors led by 53 runs.

Derbyshire were two without loss at the close having bowled the home side out for 237.

There was no play due to rain in the Division One clash between Essex and Middlesex and the Second Division encounter between Sussex and Gloucestershire.
