There may be some exciting white-ball and red-ball internationals on the horizon but the County Championship Division Two continues to deliver intrigue and top level performances week in week out!
Day one of round 11 on Tuesday was no different and we will pick out some of the top performers, as well as offering some betting tips for the rest of these fixtures, below.

There were three centurions on day one of this round of fixtures, one who has enjoyed a fantastic international career and another who has already been capped but looks set to return at a new level!
| Player | Score | For | Against |
| Kane Williamson | 104* | Middlesex | Gloucestershire |
| Rehan Ahmed | 119 | Leicestershire | Kent |

- Martin Andersson delivered a three-figure score from number seven for Middlesex in Northampton.
A Tough Day For The Bowlers
