Kent have lost a big beast – Jack Leaning for 43. Compton digging in on 82. Even Kent should avoid an innings defeat now, but it is a tough ask to last all day against Abbas, Barker, Abbott and Dawson.

Could it be a late-burning thriller at Cheltenham? Marnus still there on 87, compiler of ridiculous scores Sam Northeast on 62. Glamorgan 261-3, need another 332.

• Seven for 35 are best Championship figures of 2024
• Lyon surprised at England’s stance after ‘amazing’ session

Jimmy Anderson gave England a glimpse of what they will be missing when he is put out to pasture after the Lord’s Test next week, taking seven wickets for 35 for Lancashire against Nottinghamshire – the best bowling figures in the County Championship this year – in his first game for four months.

Anderson, 41, had not played since the innings defeat by India in ­Dharamsala in March that brought his 700th Test wicket. In May he confirmed the first Test against West Indies would be his 188th and last. But in Southport on Tuesday he fell straight back into the groove of excellence delivered with ­devilish control. It all left his long-time ­Australian adversary turned ­Lancashire teammate Nathan Lyon aiming a dig in the direction of the England selectors.

And while Anderson performs ball-polishing duties for Tom Bailey at mid-on, poor Tom Bruce is turning out for Lancashire seconds at Barnsley. And the first drop of the day as Chris Green lets HH through his fingers at midwicket.

HH survives the over, Anderson’s first over of the summer is a maiden and off we go.
