WICKET Brown c Patel b Steel 45published at 12:54 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 189-9
Six and out!
Ben Brown gets his foot to a fuller ball from Cam Steel and swipes it over the shiort leg side boundary for six to move to 45.
He tries the same trick to Steel's next ball but top-edges it slight and Ryan Patel takes a fine diving catch down low on the square leg boundary.
Surrey just need one more to wrap this up before lunch.
WICKET: Renshaw c Kashif Ali b D'Oliveira 12published at 12:53 29 April
Somerset 309-9 dec & 66-3, Worcestershire 450-8 dec
Matt Renshaw is gone.
After 126 minutes of batting time, 77 balls and one four, the Aussie opener gets undone by home skipper Brett D'Oliveira's decision to turn to a bit of spin just before lunch.
Renshaw attempts a paddle sweep, but gets an edge and Kashif Ali takes the simplest of catches at short leg.
Former Warwickshire opener Andy Umeed comes in with Somerset still trailing Worcestershire by 75 runs.
The Kidderminster weather permitting, this game is a long way from being over yet.
'Pennington has looked sharp'published at 12:48 29 April
Notts 400, Warwickshire 282-7
Phil Britt
BBC Radio WM and CWREx-Worcestershire paceman Dillon Pennington has looked very sharp in this match.
Former Pear Pennington has taken three of the Bears wickets to fall for Notts in this match - but none so far today.
WICKET Thain c Borthwick b Ackermann 23published at 12:47 29 April
Durham 358 v Essex 431-6
Noah Thain looks to accelerate before lunch but slaps Colin Ackermann straight to skipper Scott Borthwick at mid-wicket.
He falls for a 43-ball 23 as Essex lose their sixth wicket with a lead of 73.
Wicketkeeper Harry Cook strides out to join Nick Browne in the middle.
50 partnership for Essexpublished at 12:45 29 April
Durham 358 v Essex 427-5
It's been brisk stuff from Nick Browne and Noah Thain as they bring up their 50 run stand for the sixth wicket off 63 balls in 40 minutes.
Thain has 23 of them, while Browne is unbeaten on 159 and the lead is 69.
150 for Nick Brownepublished at 12:39 29 April
Durham 358 v Essex 416-5
After a watchful start, Nick Browne turns Colin Ackermann's first ball away for a couple and moves to his 150 off 290 balls.
After a watchful start he's upped the pace a tad, while Noah Thain has a briskish 20 from 35 balls, but anything other than a draw looks highly unlikely.
The lead is 58.
WICKET: Bethell c Clarke b Stone 93published at 12:38 29 April
Notts 400, Warwickshire 276-7
Olly Stone gets his first wicket back at Edgbaston since leaving Warwickshire for Notts at the end of the 2021 season.
The injury-hit England paceman has Jacob Bethell caught behind for a career-best 93.
Gutting for Bethell to go just seven short of a maiden first-class century.
The Bears still trail Nottinghamshire by 124 runs as new man Aamer Jamal comes to the crease for his first bat in a Warwickshire shirt.
Shot!published at 12:37 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 174-8
Where has that come from?
From nowhere, Ben Brown suddenly goes into attack mode, opening his shoulders and whacking Dan Worrall (4-40) over extra cover for four.
He moves to 34 off 108 balls and Hants trail by 34.
Cameron Steel comes into the attack for his first over of spin of the innings.
400 up for Essexpublished at 12:29 29 April
Durham 358 v Essex 404-5
Nick Browne plays a lovely fine reverse sweep off Callum Parkinson for four and then nudges a single to move on to146 and bring up the 400 for Essex.
It's come in the 119th over so no fourth batting point, but it takes the visitors' first innings lead to 42.
Noah Thain then uses his feet nicely to thwack his first boundary off the spinner's final ball.
WICKET Abbott c Pope b Worrall 8published at 12:24 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 165-8
Seven catches in the match for Ollie Pope!
Kyle Abbott can hold back no longer and flashes at a Dan Worrall ball which leaves him and catches a thick edge.
It flies through to Pope at second slip who pouches it comfortably, low to his right. He needs one more catch to equal the first-class record for Surrey.
As crucially, Surrey need two more to wrap up an innings victory before lunch.
Brad Wheal joins Ben Brown (30 not out).
Division Two: Madsen century, Higgins out for 155published at 12:15 29 April
Middlesex had been creeping along since Max Holden's dismissal but it could get worse now that Graeme van Buuren has claimed the wicket of Ryan Higgins (155) after Miles Hammond collected his cover drive - they are 352-5 against Gloucestershire.
Wayne Madsen reached 104 for Derbyshire before being caught and bowled by Yorkshire's England duo of Joe Root and Harry Brook. Derbyshire are 241-5.
George Scrimshaw picked up his second wicket of the day for Northants in Louis Kimber, caught behind. It was Kimber’s first half-century of the campaign for Leicestershire, who are 163-4.
'Pears have had to wait a long time for that'published at 12:12 29 April
Somerset 309-9 dec & 44-2, Worcestershire 450-8 dec
Frank Watson
BBC Hereford & WorcesterJake Ball has done a great job, more than a great job as nighwatchman.
Worcestershire have had to wait a long time for that. They've had to wait over an hour this morning for the breakthrough.
They have been very patient, they haven't bowled badly but it's a pretty flat pitch.
WICKET: Briggs c sub (McCann) b Harrison 37published at 12:12 29 April
Notts 400, Warwickshire 252-6
First wicket of the day at Edgbaston - and a second bowling point for Notts.
Danny Briggs skies an attempted pull off Calvin Harrison on 37 - and substitute fielder Freddie McCann takes the catch.
It came just after the Bears had earned their first batting point.
Michael Burgess comes in to see if he can help Jacob Bethell (75) add one or two more. 30 overs left yet to do it.
Postpublished at 12:11 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 159-7
This is a fine spell from Gus Atkinson.
He gets one to lift and Kyle Abbott does well to get his bat and gloves out of the way as it fizzes past his chest and through to Jamie Smith.
The South African then wafts at the next ball airily, but it misses the edge.
One from the over and the England man has 2-29.
'Fuller didn't play a positive shot'published at 12:05 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 142-7
Roland Butcher
Former Middlesex and England batter on BBC Radio LondonIt was a bit of indecision by James Fuller.
He just hung the bat out and didn't really play a positive shot.
The ball came off the shoulder of the bat.
He did nothing, he didn't try to leave it, he didn't try to force it.
Looks like Hampshire are slipping to an inevitable defeat unless something miraculous happens.
WICKET Critchley b Parkinson 3published at 12:04 29 April
Durham 358 v Essex 376-5
A second wicket of day four for Callum Parkinson.
Matt Critchley pushes forward to a ball which grips and beats the batter's defence before clipping the top of off-stump.
The spinner is having a fine morning. Wicketkeeper Noah Thain joins the unmovable Nick Browne.
The Essex lead is 18 with five wickets in hand.
WICKET: Ball b Finch 29published at 12:04 29 April
Somerset 309-9 dec & 43-2, Worcestershire 450-8 dec
it's taken over an hour but at last a breatkthrough for Worcestershire at Chester Road.
Jake Ball misses a straight one from Adam Finch - and the nightwatchman is gone for 29.
Tom Lammonby comes in to join determined opener Matt Renshaw, who has laboured to just 7 off 45 balls in his hour and 118 minutes at the crease.
150 up for Hampshirepublished at 12:03 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 153-7
Oof, that lifted!
Gus Atkinson bends his back and gets extra extra bounce and pace.
It flies over the head of both batsmen Ben Brown and wicketkeeper Jamie Smith all the way to the boundary.
A no-ball which costs six runs and brings up the Hants 150.
WICKET Fuller c Lawrence b Atkinson 4published at 11:51 29 April
Surrey 359 v Hants 151 & 139-7
Gus Atkinson has the breakthrough with his eighth ball of the morning.
James Fuller prods at a ball that has a bit of bounce and hits the shoulder of the bat before skewing to Dan Lawrence at gully.
It comes fast and there's a bit of a juggle before Lawrence takes it at the third attempt.
Kyle Abbott plays out a wicket-maiden and Surrey need just three more wickets, while Hants need 69 to make the hosts bat again.
