Former England captain Michael Vaughan missed out again as relegation-threatened Yorkshire endured a difficult day in their LV County Championship Division One clash with Sussex.

Vaughan is hoping to win back his England place for the winter tour of India but now has only five more first-class innings to impress after making just 19 at Scarborough.

His team-mates also struggled as Yorkshire closed on 133 for seven, still 132 behind the visitors, after Jason Lewry took three for 27.

Sussex were earlier bowled out for 265 with Andrew Hodd top-scoring with 81. Adil Rashid was the pick of the bowling with four for 56.

The top-of-the-table clash between Nottinghamshire and Somerset at Trent Bridge saw little play due to the weather.

Peter Trego thrashed 86 as Somerset's final three wickets added 109 to their overnight score before being bowled out for 252.

Nottinghamshire were 46 for two in reply after Charl Willoughby struck twice in an over.

Lancashire were unable to take a Durham wicket on another day of restricted action at the Riverside.

Will Smith was unbeaten on 144 and Dale Benkenstein 61, the pair having put on 184, in Durham's 280 for three.

The first day of Kent's clash with Surrey at Canterbury was washed out, as was the third day of the Second Division promotion clash between Worcestershire and Warwickshire at New Road.

Worcestershire, who have signed Sri Lankan Dilhara Fernando for the rest of the season, remained on 45 for one in their second innings, 133 ahead.

Daniel Redfern was 69no as Derbyshire moved to 225 for five in reply to Glamorgan's 348 at the County Ground. West Indian Wavell Hinds weighed in with 54.

Billy Godleman's 106 helped Middlesex claim a first-innings lead over Gloucestershire at Lord's, despite the efforts of Jon Lewis.

Dawid Malan also hit 50 and Shaun Udal was 32no as Middlesex closed on 313 for seven, 95 ahead.

Former England seamer Lewis was the major thorn in the Middlesex side, claiming five for 64.
