Durham piled up 445 for four at Chelmsford.
Alex Lees and Ollie Robinson scored contrasting day-one centuries as Durham piled on the runs at Vitality County Championship title rivals Essex.
Fifties from Dom Sibley and Jamie Smith laid the foundations before Dan Lawrence and Ben Foakes increased the tempo during the final session during a stand of 131 in 35 overs. Somerset seamer Kasey Aldridge was the main driver of a mid-innings collapse that saw four wickets fall for 11 runs, finishing with four for 90, while South African seamer Migael Pretorius took three for 73.
Adam Lyth continued his Scarborough love affair with a fourth Championship hundred on his home ground as he and opening partner Fin Bean shared in a stand of 307 to ensure Yorkshire dominated day one against Gloucestershire. Warwickshire trio Olly Hannon-Dalby, Ed Barnard and Craig Miles also took three wickets each as Hampshire were bowled out for 298 after choosing to bat on a good pitch at Edgbaston. The hosts finished on 51 for two.
