  2. 200 runs

    200 up for Somerset

    Somerset 200-3 & 363 v Leicestershire 157

    Somerset bring up their 200 in this second innings, as Tom Abell collects what is a fifth single off the over of Rehan Ahmed.

    Abell is now on 34, Henry Nicholls is on 35 at the other end and they continue to turn the strike over with regularity.

    The lead is now 406 for Somerset.

  3. 6 runs

    Durham 252 & 244-2 v Middlesex 203

    Seb Morgan had leaked 22 runs off his two overs, so he is pulled out of the Middlesex attack.

    Ryan Higgins is thrown the ball and Ben McKinney effortlessly pulls it down to square leg for six.

    The second of the morning and further proof that Durham are not hanging about.

  4. Worcs 200 & 65-3 v Northants 289

    That Brett D'Oliveira boundary apart, it's been a tidy start by Northants at New Road this morning. Harry Conway is looking to add to his three wickets on day two, but no joy for him yet.

    As a Durham fan, I'm hoping we can wrap up a win to guarantee promotion (& the title?). I'd also love to see Somerset win the Div 1 championship.

    Peter, Chester-le-Street

    You may see both of those things before the end of the month, Peter, though we're sure Warwickshire and Notts have other ideas.

  6. Sussex 393 v Surrey 3-0

    Close for Jaydev Unadkat - who has a decent LBW shout turned down v Dom Sibley.

    No issue with height but the ball may have pitched outside leg.

    He's getting the ball to nip away from the right-handed opener.

  7. Lancashire 134 v Glos 212 & 132-8

    Jimmy Anderson is a bit too full and straight and Matt Taylor nicely puts it away through mid-wicket for four.

    He then nudges a single into the legside.

    The number 10 moves to 21 and this partnership is now worth 45.

    But the annoyance factor is absolutely 10 out of 10.

  8. Yorkshire 390 v Essex 142-7

    A bit legside to end Ben Cliff's latest over.

    George Bell clips fine and runs hard to complete two.

    Essex watchful and creeping closer to the follow on target of 241.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Montgomery c Benjamin b Mahmud 46 (Derbyshire 110-2 & 300 v Kent 219)

    Breakthrough this morning for Kent!

    Hasan Mahmud has bowled really well so far and has his just rewards when he tempts Matt Montgomery into nudging him behind.

    That is frustrating for the Derbyshire batter, who falls four short of a half-century.

  10. Sussex 393 v Surrey 2-0

    Dom Sibley has his first run, clipping his eighth leg side ball from Jaydev Unadkat behind square.

    Rory Burns plays and misses trying to defend but sees out the over.

  11. Yorkshire 390 v Essex 139-7

    Just the two runs added by Essex so far.

    Certainly some movement for Jack White - but George Bell is equal to the task, pushing carefully to mid off.

    Maiden over.

  12. 50 runs

    50 partnership

    Durham 252 & 223-2 v Middlesex 203

    Ben McKinney starts his day by crunching successive deliveries from Seb Morgan away for four.

    The youngster then slips in a no-ball and that takes this stand between McKinney and Mayank Agarwal over 50.

    They look in the mood to have plenty more, and in a hurry.

  13. Sussex 393 v Surrey 1-0

    Sean Hunt shares the new ball with Jaydev Unadkat.

    Rory Burns leaves outside off at first. A drive and a miss later on.

    Two slips and a gully into Hunt, who is nearly through Burns with his fifth ball, jammed between bat and pad. Maiden over.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Kamran Dhariwal

    Lancashire 134 v Glos 212 & 126-8

    Kamran Dhariwal edges the first ball of Jimmy Anderson's second over between second and third slip, but it runs down for four.

    That's enough to see him reach a maiden first-class half-century on his debut.

    It's taken 107 balls with six fours and the 21-year-old has held this second innings together.

    Good signs for Gloucestershire of Dhariwal's temperament.

  15. 6 runs

    Somerset 180-3 & 363 v Leicestershire 157

    Any questions over Somerset's approach this morning might have been answered by that shot by Henry Nicholls.

    He lifts Ajaz Patel handsomely straight back over his head for a maximum to complement a lovely straight four.

    Perhaps they will not be hanging around after all.

  16. Gloucestershire lead by 200

    Lancashire 134 v Glos 212 & 122-8

    Another single apiece for Kamran Dhariwal and Matt Taylor off George Balderson's first over of the morning.

    That is enough for the lead to reach exactly 200.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Jack lbw b Pennington 3 (Notts 377 v Hants 273-8)

    Dillon PenningtonGetty Images

    No doubt there.

    A hint of inswing from Dillon Pennington is too much for Eddie Jack and he is gone in second over of day three.

    Just what Notts wanted as they look for a win to enable them to keep pace with Warwickshire, who thrashed Glamorgan yesterday.

  18. Worcs 200 & 59-3 v Northants 289

    Three slips wait for an edge at New Road but Ben Sanderson's line is awry and Brett D'Oliveira clips it past square leg for four runs.

  19. Yorkshire 390 v Essex 139-7

    A couple of loose leg side balls from Jack White and a single apiece for Zaman Akhter and George Bell.

    Ben Cliff will bowl from the Kirkstall Lane End.

    Akhter has one hand off the bat dropping Cliff safely into the off side. Time to do a bit of "gardening".

  20. Play begins at Derby

    Derbyshire 104-1 & 300 v Kent 219

    Matt Montgomery begins the day with a boundary, off the bowling of Hasan Mahmud - he moves onto 46 and extends Derbyshire's lead to 185.
