    WICKETpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 18 May

    Malik c Abbott b Turner 14 (Warwicks 157-7 - target 310)

    Hampshire need three more.

    Zen Malik looks to hook John Turner and top edges all the way down to the fine leg boundary.

    The sun is shining right in Kyle Abbott's eyes but he takes the catch at the second attempt.

    Che Simmons joins Ethan Bamber.

  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 18 May

    Critchley c Roderick b Brookes 17 (Worcs 358 & 134 v Essex 157 & 77-6) - Essex require 259

    Matt Critchley scores 17 from 39 balls before pushing forward to Ethan Brookes and clipping it behind to give Gareth Roderick his eighth catch of the contest.

    Simon Harmer joins the action alongside Noah Thain.

  3. Postpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 18 May

    Durham 581-7 v Notts 407

    Durham have lost Brydon Carse, bowled by Liam Patterson-White for a six-ball duck.

    On the hosts bat. Perhaps they're giving Graham Clark the chance of a century.

    He picks up the ninth boundary of his innings off Rob Lord and goes to 94.

    George Drissell has five.

    In we go for tea at Taunton following the end of Sussex's second innings.

    Worth mentioning John Simpson's fantastic knock for the visitors as he was left stranded with an unbeaten 82.

    Will there be enough time for Somerset to win the game on day three? Or can Sussex cause a scare and threaten an unlikely victory?

    We'll start to find out in about 20-odd minutes.

  5. 'Somerset have all the time in the world'published at 15:41 British Summer Time 18 May

    Somerset 338 v Sussex 152 & 335 f/o - lead by 149 runs

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    A good catch by Craig Overton on the outside edge, Somerset have all the time in the world to get the runs.

    The wicket is very flat.

    Simpson has led this staunch Sussex rear guard and has given his side a small hope.

  6. DERBYSHIRE ALL OUT FOR 314published at 15:40 British Summer Time 18 May

    Aitchison c Bell b Hartley 45 Lancs 458 v Derbys 314

    Ben Aitchison has 45 and goes big off Tom Hartley trying to reach fifty.

    He's caught in front of the midwicket boundary and goes.

    An important 63-ball innings, with six fours and two sixes.

    Lancashire have a 144-run lead on first innings and that's tea.

  7. wicket

    SUSSEX ALL OUT FOR 335published at 15:37 British Summer Time 18 May

    Robinson c Overton b Leach 18 (Somerset 338 v Sussex 152 & 335 f/o - lead by 149 runs)

    A valiant effort in the end by Sussex but they're all out for 335.

    Jack Leach with another excellent delivery as he gets one to spin away from Ollie Robinson and find the outside edge.

    Craig Overton gobbles it up in the slips for Leach's fourth wicket of the innings to end with figures of 4-51 from 24.2 overs.

    Somerset will need 150 runs to get their second win of the campaign.

  8. Derbyshire avoid the follow onpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 18 May

    Lancs 458 v Derbys 313-9

    Blair Tickner guides James Anderson's fourth ball tentatively over the head of Keaton Jennings at slip and it runs away for four. Not convincing.

    They need one more to avoid the follow-on.

    And there it is! Tickner strokes the next ball through mid-off for back-to-back fours.

  9. Tea at Lord'spublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 18 May

    Middlesex 232 & 143 v Leics 274 - target 102

    They're taking tea at Lord's after Middlesex's second innings comes to an end.

    A job well done today for Leicestershire and they'll want to come out and knock these off before the close of play.

  10. 'Anderson claims his third'published at 15:34 British Summer Time 18 May

    Lancs 458 v Derbys 304-9

    Dave Fletcher
    BBC Radio Derby Sport

    George Bell with a simple catch.

    This will be fascinating now, Aitchison will be joined by Blair Tickner who is capable.

    It was a 68-run partnership, Anderson claims his third and he's on the prowl for his fourth.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 18 May

    Lancs 458 v Derbys 304-9

    James Anderson gets his revenge....

    Derbyshire collect their second batting bonus point before Anderson strikes, eight balls into his return.

    He digs one in towards the ribs of Zak Chappell who fends it to George Bell at short leg.

    Blair Tickner is the last man in.

  12. wicket

    MIDDLESEX ALL OUT FOR 143published at 15:32 British Summer Time 18 May

    Paterson b Ahmed 0 (Middlesex 232 & 143 v Leics 274 - target 102)

    Leicestershire celebrate a wicket against MiddlesexImage source, Rex Features

    A golden duck for tailender Dane Paterson as he's bowled by Rehan Ahmed and a miserable second innings comes to an end for Middlesex.

    Leicestershire will need only 102 runs to record their fourth win of the season and maintain their spot at the top of Division Two.

  13. Anderson returns to the attackpublished at 15:30 British Summer Time 18 May

    Lancs 458 v Derbys 287-7

    The new ball is 14 overs old and is thrown to James Anderson for the first time.

    Lancashire did not want to waste his energy on the Derbyshire tail, but stubborn resistance from Zak Chappell and Ben Aitchison have forced the issue.

    Anderson won't like that. Aitchison gives himself room and clobbers the fourth ball over to the long off boundary for four.

    Back-to-back boundaries as a flick off the hip finds the rope at backward square leg.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 18 May

    Sharma lbw b Ahmed 1 (Middlesex 232 & 143-9 - lead by 101 runs v Leics 274)

    Another one goes for Middlesex as Naavya Sharma is trapped leg before by Rehan Ahmed.

    Leicestershire will more than fancy their chances of wrapping up victory on day three now.

    They need just one more wicket to skittle the hosts and a little over 100 runs to knock off as things stand.

  15. 50 runs

    50 up for Yorkshirepublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 18 May

    Surrey 512 v Yorkshire 255 & 51-2 - trail by 206 runs

    Milestone number one achieved in this second innings for Yorkshire as James Wharton picks up two off Matt Fisher and they move past 50.

  16. Postpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 18 May

    Somerset 338 v Sussex 152 & 322-9 f/o - lead by 136 runs

    Sussex are doing their best to try and add as many runs as possible to this currently fairly slender lead.

    Ollie Robinson slaps one away for three off Craig Overton.

    John Simpson then takes a single to move onto 77 not out for the visitors.

  17. 'The door has been opened'published at 15:24 British Summer Time 18 May

    Durham 565-6 v Notts 407

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Hereford & Worcestershire

    The door has been opened just a crack.

    It will be interesting to see how Clark plays from this point.

    Can they bring on another wicket?

  18. Clark breaks his own recordpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 18 May

    Durham 564-5 lead Notts by 157

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    Graham Clark has broken a record he set at Trent Bridge in April this year.

    He and Colin Ackermann put on 145, which was Durham's highest sixth-wicket stand against Notts. Today he's put on 162 with Ollie Robinson for the sixth wicket.

    Durham are 564-5 and lead by 157. There's only been one wicket today and that was this morning when Emilio Gay was out for 104.

    Clark has 83 and Robinson 141.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 18 May

    Robinson c McCann b James 141 (Durham 564-6 v Notts 407)

    A superb innings comes to an end as Ollie Robinson falls for 141.

    Lyndon James squares up the Durham batter and the ball pops up to give Freddie McCann a comfortable catch at backward point.

    The 162-run stand with Graham Clark is broken, but Notts celebrations are muted.

    Brydon Carse has his first bat this season for Durham.

  20. 'It just looked out'published at 15:20 British Summer Time 18 May

    Warwicks 126-6 - target 310

    Kevin James
    Former Middlesex & Hampshire cricketer on BBC Radio Solent

    Fuller's done it again.

    It just looked out from the moment it hit the pad.

    Alex Davies has fought hard out there, it's always disappointing when a ball misbehaves more than you expected it to.

    It feels like we're in the phase where something is happening a lot more regularly now.
