Northants are desperate for a breakthrough and they're up appealing for a catch behind from Will Rhodes.

The left-hander has played forward to the off-spin Nathan McSweeney. It grips and turns away from Rhodes' bat.

They all go up but there's clear daylight between bat and ball on replay.

Not out the right call.

Rhodes on 23. Durham 53 ahead.

Surrey 117-7 v Yorks - target 185

Matthew Fisher tries to duck under a fast, short delivery from George Hill and is hit on the side of the helmet.

The players from his former county are quick to ask him if he's okay.

He appears to be but will undergo the necessary checks.

Middx 247 & 200 v Lancs 151 & 45-0

Matty Hurst should be on his way but Middx have spilled a fairly regulation that at third slip off the bowling of Naavya Sharma.

Ben Geddes is the fumbler, unable to hold on chest high but close to his body to his left.

Powerful straight drive from Tom Lawes takes Surrey four runs closer.

Mind you he could have been caught and bowled. Jack White gets a hand to the rapidly travelling ball.

Northants 263 v Durham 205 & 100-1

Faced with a 58-run gap, to wipe that out and add nearly 50 in credit for the loss of only one wicket is fine work from Durham.

Led by Alex Lees, who's 60, they are tiptoeing their way across the ledge before surely reaching much safer ground if they carry on like this.

Northants are starting to look like a side who've lost their car keys.

They must have spares somewhere. Time to find them.

"This partnership is just making the bowlers work a little harder.

It's giving Ed Barnard a little more to think about than he had in the first innings about who to bowl when and where to put the fielders.

He didn't have to worry about that in the first innings."

Mir Hamza is having an almighty swing after every delivery here and has risen to 13 from 16 balls after connecting with a few down the ground from Lewis Gregory.

Two big blows put eight on to the score - both met with lusty cheers from the small section of Glamorgan supporters at the County Ground - and he caps the over with an ostentatious defensive block.

A much-needed 50 for Durham opener Alex Lees. It's only his third this season - a season in which he struggled for form and is averaging 28.

It comes in 71 balls and includes a hefty six onto the committee balcony and 4x4.

His 129 at Bristol came in the first away game of the season. He also made 63 at Derby a couple of games ago. Both were Durham wins.

They are now 81-1 and lead Northants by 23 runs.

Gloucestershire sweep up the Derbyshire tail in double quick time.

Ollie Price is the star for the hosts, with the spinner taking his first career five-wicket haul - finishing with 6-45 from 21.4 overs.

Derbyshire had put themselves into a position to build a decent lead but that late collapse gives them a lead of just 41 to take into the second innings.

The game very much in the balance.

A whipped offside shot from Tom Lawes for three allows Surrey to reach a landmark they couldn't make in the first innings.

It's been a better batting performance and they still have a chance.

They need 83 more. Yorkshire need four wickets.

Tense stuff.

Well played Alex Lees.

His half-century has been crafted without too many alarms, save for one false shot that almost clattered into his stumps off an inside edge, and has come off 71 balls with four fours and one muscular six down the ground off Yuzvendra Chahal.

Durham lead by 19.

Ari Karvelas starts with a maiden as Essex as Paul Walter dots back six balls to get Essex's chase up and running, or at least up.

Rehan Ahmed reached an attacking but disciplined half-century before departing just as he and David Gower... sorry, excuse me, Josh Hull, were approaching a century stand.

Normally a number 11, Hull is actually a very pretty batsman, he plays some very languid drives and has played through mid-off nicely. He's been very dogged, defending stoically and building really solid foundations for a good score.

Ahmed defended well and launched at anything wide. It's him at his best. He's showing England what they are missing.

302 is the first target to avoid the follow-on, carry on like this though and they could get a decent score.
