Warks 372 v Leics 125 & 84-6 – Leics trail by 163
Ooh it could have been better for the Bears but this chance goes down!
It was a total miscue by Ben Green towards mid-on and Olly Hannon-Dalby tried to get around to it but couldn't cling on.
Madsen c Cullen b Allison 0 (Derbys 22-3 - target 333)
Looks like Derbyshire's second innings is going the same way as the first.
Wayne Madsen shuffles forward but is surprised by extra bounce from Ben Allison and feathers a catch to the keeper.
Allison now has 3-6 from five overs.
Glamorgan 505 v Essex 129
Essex will have to bat again as Glamorgan enforce the follow-on.
Just the 376 runs required to make the home side bat again.
Patterson-White c Bess b Coad 0 (Notts 251 & 72-7 v Yorks 179)
Four wickets in the first hour for Yorkshire.
Ben Coad angles one in towards off stump, forcing Liam Patterson-White to play and send a thick outside edge to Dom Bess at third slip.
The lead is 144 as Brett Hutton walks to the crease.
Notts 251 & 71-6 v Yorks 179
Jack White around the wicket to left-hander Liam Patterson-White scenting a five-wicket haul.
LPW has been in good form with the bat this season and more than once has added crucial runs down the order.
He plays out a maiden and his wait for a first run goes on. Terrific stuff from White.
Derbys 22-2 - target 333
Ben Allison is having quite a match for Worcestershire.
Five wickets in Derbyshire's first innings and he now has two in three balls in their second.
Harry Came edges to second slip and departs for 11 and Matthew Montgomery falls lbw to a superb swinging delivery.
Harmer b ul Hassan 35 (Glamorgan 505 v Essex 129)
Just the 29 runs added by Essex this morning for the loss of the final three wickets.
Zain ul Hassan gets one through Simon Harmer's defences to complete his five-fer (5-14).
Harmer goes for 35 - more than a quarter of Essex's runs in a pretty shambolic effort with the bat.
Karvelas run out 2 (Hampshire 128 v Sussex 244 & 301-9 – Sussex lead by 417)
A couple of quick wickets as Sussex continue to enjoy themselves with the bat - they've been smashing it around to all corners this morning.
Jack Carson hit four sixes in his 16-ball 28 before falling to Felix Organ, and shortly afterwards Ari Karvelas was run out by Nick Gubbins.
Sussex have added 85 runs in 50 minutes of play this morning and have passed 300 runs in their second innings.
Glamorgan 505 v Essex 128-9
A wicket-maiden for Zain ul Hassan who has 4-14.
Will Simon Harmer decide to try to go big with last man Jack Auld in with him?
Kent 353 v Glos 229 & 99-4
Second one missed by Kent this morning.
The normally reliable Tawanda Muyeye is the guilty party this time as Daz Ahmed escape.
He times the next ball from Khaled Ahmed superbly through the covers for four off the back foot.
Warks 372 v Leics 125 & 78-6 – Leics trail by 169

Zaib c Duke b Helm 110 (Middx 255 v Northants 103 & 285)
The fun is over as Saif Zaib looks to drag Tom Helm into the legside but top edges high into the St John's Wood sky.
Harry Duke steadies himself and takes his third catch of the innings as Zaib falls for 110.
Northamptonshire have added 37 runs this morning for their three remaining wickets.
Their promotion hopes will now rest on their bowlers.

Is there a page on BBC Sport that explains the points system? Every year I have to refresh my memory when it comes to crunch time! Apologies if you explained this earlier and I missed it.
John, Kent
A maximum of 24 points are on offer for each team in a County Championship fixture.
The winning team gets 16 points, while the losing team gets zero. A drawn or tied game will result in both teams getting eight points.
Teams can also earn up to eight bonus points based on their batting and bowling performances in the first 110 overs of both sides' first innings.
Middx 255 v Northants 103 & 285-9
Middlesex will be rueing those two dropped catches off Saif Zaib on 85.
Having reached his ton, Zaib takes Tom Helm for two boundaries in an over.
Yuzi Chahal gets in on the act as Danru Ferns gooes too straight and the Northants number 11 flicks around the corner for four more.
The lead is 133.
Cook c Carlson b ul Hassan 8 (Glamorgan 505 v Essex 128-9
On comes Zain ul Hassan for Glamorgan and out goes Sam Cook from his first ball.
The Essex tailender gets an edge and the ball just loops into the hands of Glamorgan skipper Kiran Carlson at third slip.
Jack Auld is the last man in for Essex.
Kent 353 v Glos 229 & 92-4
Matt Milnes bangs one into the deck, but it's no bother for Daz Ahmed who pulls powerfully to mid-wicket for four, the first runs of his innings.
Another 32 needed by Gloucestershire to clear the deficit.
Somerset 268-3 v Surrey 422
Surrey should have a had a wicket this morning with Tom Lammonby dropped when on 106.
The visitors take the new ball and hand it straight to Reece Topley.
Cox c Hain b Bamber 2 (Warks 372 v Leics 125 & 74-6 – Leics trail by 173)
Another one!
Ben Cox is another batter who could have made things difficult for the Bears this morning but he goes with just two on the board as Ethan Bamber finds the edge and Sam Hain takes the catch.
I think any concerns the hosts had about this being a tricky morning to take wickets have well and truly disappeared and it looks like being only a matter of time before the Bears wrap up the win and with it the title.
Glamorgan 505 v Essex 128-8
Glamorgan turn to spin for the first time.
Mason Crane is on to see if he can winkle out the final two Essex wickets.
You would think the follow-on will be enforced when that does happen.
Warwickshire 372 v Leicestershire 125 & 74-5

Had a dramatic morning... did Park Run this morning in Cannon Hill Park, which was wonderful. Though I did not enjoy 'Cardiac Hill' right at the end.
I have always done them before days of cricket, but knew I'd be pushing it fine to make it for the start of play at 10:30, even though the park itself is a stone's throw from Edgbaston itself.
So I asked the Warwickshire press officer yesterday if I could shower at the ground. You won't be surprised to know he looked at me like I'd lost my marbles. The Leicestershire press officer said it was the weirdest press request of the year.
But here I am, on time and washed in the indoor school, and with a time of 21:00. Even got the black turtle neck on to perhaps witness history.
Hello to Sid, by the way, who took this picture and asked if I was the cricket commentator who'd been yapping about it yesterday on air. He said he was hoping it would be wrapped up today.
After two early wickets, Warwickshire are heading to the title in quick time.
