Gorgeous square drive from Simon Harmer to the first bit of width offered by Logan van Beek of late.

So long as the South African is there, Essex are alive in this. Michael Pepper made a century in the first innings too, don't forget.

There are two types of leave, as they say. This was a good one.

Timm van der Gugten has a fresh cherry in his hand and gets one to jag back at Louis Kimber by a mile from outside off.

He shoulders arms and looks a very relieved man after the ball flies over the top of middle stump.

A boundary off the next ball takes the deficit down to nine.

This game was over, in terms of a Durham win, after the first 10 overs of their second innings last night.

They lost three wickets during that period of gloomy cricket, one when most people in the ground would not have expected to see any play.

Even though the lights were on it was dark. The sky leaden in colour and it felt like the end of October, not August.

Durham resumed this morning on 15-3, needing another 405 to beat Somerset. But the reality was they needed to bat out the day for a draw.

Archie Vaughan got the first wicket of the day, as nightwatchman Callum Parkinson was out for 18, while Jack Leach took the other two wickets to fall before lunch, including that of the other night watchman, George Drissell, for a career-best 33.

Ollie Robinson also fell for four. So at six down this is very much a battle for survival on another gloomy, but humid afternoon, in Taunton.

Simon Harmer gets off the mark with a couple off Logan van Beek and that takes the ask to 99.

They have four wickets remaining.

Don't go anywhere.

A Farhan Ahmed delivery spins past everything and goes down as four byes - the first Kyle Verreynne has conceded all match.

Sai Sudharsan tucks the next one legside and that sees Surrey's lead reach 250.

There are a possible 60 overs left.

Four overs into the afternoon session at Headingley... anything doing?

Well, Yorkshire have added another 16 runs, with Finlay Bean crashing a couple of back-foot boundaries off Tom Helm and he has 13, with Adam Lyth registering the other 17 so far.

But there doesn't appear to be a great deal of urgency - and that's no massive surprise given where both teams are in the table.

If this does end in a draw, they'll stay third and second respectively, with Middlesex just one point ahead of their opponents.

Glamorgan 550-9 dec v Leicestershire 251 & 278-6

Mason Crane has dropped another one. This one would have been a stunner, in fairness.

Diving low to his right in his follow-through to get a hand to Louis Kimber's drive, but the ball comes out as he hits the deck.

That's his fourth chance, perhaps the hardest of all. Glamorgan hands on heads again. They need one to stick.

The lead is 21 and though there are 61 overs remaining, who knows if we see them all.

Michael Pepper survives a HUGE shout for lbw first ball to Amar Virdi.

Might just have been sliding down leg.

Pears tails are well and truly up.

Essex look shell-shocked.

The sun is out in Hove with the players back on the field.

Ollie Robinson opens up as Sussex begin the hunt for six wickets.

Jack Leach bowled exactly half of the first 44 overs in this Durham second innings and he gets proceedings under way again with the first six balls after lunch.

Two runs conceded, with Ashton Turner advancing his score to 13, but it's all about wickets now - and Somerset need four more of those.

Final session of the match under way, you'd expect... don't look away.

The next hour is huge, you feel.

If Glamorgan can pick up another scalp or two, particular if it's the gritty Peter Handscomb, then they will fancy their chances of sealing a win which looked highly likely 24 hours ago. They have a new ball due in three overs time.

However if Rehan Ahmed and Handscomb can wipe out the 28-run deficit and build a lead then the draw will be odds on.

It has felt like the clock has been turned back eight years at Taunton this morning, with spinners wheeling away from both ends on a turning pitch, straining every sinew to winkle out batsmen defending as if their lives depend on it.

The combination of Jack Leach and Archie Vaughan claimed three more Durham victims this morning, but a lot more hard work lies ahead as the ball gets softer, if Somerset are to win, as they must do to sustain their challenge to Surrey.
