  1. wicket

    WICKET Chappell c Haines b Carson 7

    Sussex 607-8 dec v Derbyshire 290 & 251-6

    The same combination does for Zak Chappell as Jack Carson drifts one in and Tom Haines snaffles the edge up at slip.

    Sussex tails are right up.

    Derbyshire are 66 in arrears and only have four wickets left. The Division Two leaders are sensing victory.

  2. Five-wicket haul for Liam Patterson-White

    Notts 405 v Surrey 525 & 165-9

    Never mind double-barrel, it's quintuple-barrel today as Liam Patterson-White collects his fifth wicket.

    Tom Lawes tries to smash it over midwicket, but the ball turns noticeably from the slow left-armer and crashes into the stumps and he goes for four.

    5-84 for him now.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Harmer c Roderick b Taylor 19

    Essex 119-7 v Worcs - target 184

    Now then. Simon Harmer and all his bags of experience are back in the hutch. He is tempted into a waft by Tom Taylor and gets a faint edge which dies on Gareth Roderick but he is able to scoop up just infront of his toes.

    Shane Snater emerges from the pavilion, with a runner, Dean Elgar.

    He and Michael Pepper put on a huge century stand in the first innings which set-up this finale. They only need 65 here.

  4. 'No excuses' - Red Rose coach Benkenstein

    Lancashire coach Dale Benkenstein on the Old Trafford outfieldRex Features

    As Worcestershire push for a win against Essex, anyone connected with Lancashire will be keeping a very close eye on that one.

    The Red Rose are going to finish the round of matches in the relegation zone after a second consecutive innings defeat inside three days at home to Hampshire, following a crushing loss to Surrey.

    It is the first time that has happened in Championship cricket for 117 years for Lancashire and head coach Dale Benkenstein was pretty frank afterwards.

    "The Surrey game you put down as the champions and a very good side," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

    "But in Division One, you come up against good sides every week and we're giving players no excuses over the last few days."

  5. Essex 114-6 v Worcs - target 184

    Simon Harmer and Michael Pepper have added 32 from 61 balls for this seventh wicket.

    This is exactly what they need. Ticking over. Rotate the strike. This is Harmer's experience shining through.

    Another hour of this and the game will be won.

  6. wicket

    WICKET: Bean lbw b Hollman 30

    Yorks 601-6 dec & 66-1 v Middx 522

    For the second time in this match, Yorkshire's opening partnership in ended in the 60s.

    Finlay Bean is the man to go, playing back to a ball from Luke Hollman that turned from outside off stump and pinned him in front.

    James Wharton makes his way to the middle, with Yorkshire leading by 145.

  7. wicket

    WICKET McKerr b Patterson-White 7

    Notts 405 v Surrey 525 & 157-8

    Kerplunk!

    Conor McKerr heaves across the line, misses it and his off-stump decides to lie down.

    A fourth wicket for Liam Patterson-White.

    Surrey lead by 277 runs, but they bat on.

  8. Glamorgan 550-9 dec v Leicestershire 251 & 296-5

    Louis Kimber has survived a caught-and-bowled chance, seen a ball he'd left fly an inch over middle stump and edged behind, only for the ball to seemingly drop millimetres short of keeper Chris Cooke.

    He's just been done a kipper again by Timm van der Gugten with an inside edge past his own stumps which drops just short of Cooke again and then a big swing and a miss.

    When your luck is in, it's in.

    He has 17 from 39 balls. Leicestershire are three behind.

  9. rain stops play

    Rain stops play at Taunton

    Somerset v Durham 124-7 (target 420)

    Here we go again...

    It's light rain rather than heavy showers - but nevertheless the ground staff are pulling the covers into place and the players are trudging off.

    Somerset will be praying it doesn't develop into anything more.

  10. Essex 108-6 v Worcs - target 184

    Big cut from Michael Pepper who gets a stroke of luck as a top edge flies a couple of feet out of the grasp of Rob Jones at slip.

    It races away to the rope to bring the target four runs closer.

    Amar Virdi continues his vigil at one end. 17 straight overs for the spinner.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Came c Haines b Carson 79

    Sussex 607-8 dec v Derbyshire 290 & 235-5

    Jack Carson, you little beauty!

    This what the off-spinner has been striving for with a ball that catches the edge of opener Harry Came's bat and it's a second decent catch today from Tom Haines at slip.

    Came's innings is broken after a mammoth 273 balls.

    Five wickets needed to finish this innings. Derbyshire trail by 82 runs.

  12. Somerset v Durham 120-7 (target 420)

    Brydon Carse led Durham's counter-attack in the first innings with a brilliant unbeaten hundred and he's on the charge again this time.

    Carse sweeps Jack Leach for six and no sooner has Tom Abell has jogged into the empty stand to retrieve the ball than it's been dispatched to the boundary again, this time for four.

    Durham need another 300 to win - but that looks like a technicality and has done ever since that dramatic mini-session last night.

  13. Essex 103-6 v Worcs - target 184

    Tom Taylor replaces Logan van Beek, Brett D'Oliveira shuffling his pack to try and fashion another breakthrough. This Essex pair are more than capable of rattling off 81 runs in 50+ overs on their own.

    Amar Virdi has bowled 16 overs unchanged at the other end. Will he be given a breather?

  14. Remember the name

    Notts 405 v Surrey 525 & 151-7

    Farhan Ahmed bowling for Notts at Trent BridgeRex Features

    As Clive Tyldesley famously said when a 16-year-old kid called Wayne Rooney scored his first Premier League goal, 'Remember the name'.

    It feels very much the same with Farhan Ahmed. He looks like a spin bowler far beyond his teenage years.

    Skill, guile, determination.

    Remember the name!

  15. wicket

    WICKET Sudharsan c Lord b Patterson-White 28

    Notts 405 v Surrey 525 & 148-7

    Another Surrey wicket goes down.

    Sai Sudharsan tries to hit Liam Patterson-White over cow corner and fails. The ball is straight into Rob Lord's break basket.

    The Division One leaders are 268 runs ahead - are we close to a declaration?

  16. 100 runs

    100 up for Essex

    Essex 100-6 v Worcs - target 184

    This is box office stuff.

    Simon Harmer working his fellow off-spinner Amar Virdi around to tick off the runs, little by little.

  17. 100 runs

    100 for Peter Handscomb

    Glamorgan 550-9 dec v Leicestershire 251 & 291-5

    Peter HandscombRex Features

    In his final appearance for Leicestershire this summer.

    Only time will tell how valuable this knock from the veteran Australian gloveman will be.

    173 balls with 14 fours, bringing the milestone up with a scampered single of Frazer Sheat.

  18. 50 runs

    50 partnership for Lyth and Bean

    Yorks 601-6 dec & 53-0 v Middx 522

    Finlay Bean brings up the 50 partnership in style, slog sweeping Luke Hollman into the stand for the first six of this Yorkshire second innings.

    Bean has 22, with Adam Lyth on 27 and the home side's lead is 132.

  19. Glamorgan 550-9 dec v Leicestershire 251 & 290-5

    Louis Kimber gets an edge to Timm van der Gugten and it flies through to the keeper who takes the catch down by his laces.

    Kimber stands his ground. He doesn't think this carried. Chris Cooke doesn't know. The slips cordon celebrate like it did. The umpires have a chat.

    Kimber survives.

    Benefit of the doubt, in a high stakes moment.

  20. Ten-wicket haul for Farhan Ahmed

    Notts 405 v Surrey 525 & 144-6

    Farhan AhmedRex Features

    Incredible stuff from 16-YEAR-OLD Farhan Ahmed!!

    Jordan Clark tries to paddle one down legside and it's sharply taken by South Africa wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne as the all-rounder goes for six.

    This kid looks something very, very special.

    He has 3-62 here to go with 7-140 in the first innings and he has bowled an incredible 72 overs in this match.
