Well that took everyone by surprise.

Tom Scriven takes a single off Mason Crane to take the score to 343-9 and then the players leave the field.

Is it raining? No, the Foxes have declared, 44 runs adrift.

With all the wickets falling and rain interruptions, we failed to celebrate Sam Robson reaching his 34th first-class century.

He reached it from 191 balls by using his feet to get to the pitch before clipping Jack Carson to mid-wicket for four.

Can you believe it is now 10 years since Robson won his seven Test caps for England? Players didn't get as many chances to prove themselves in those days.

Felix Organ is the man of the moment and has three of the four wickets to fallm but Dan Lawrence doesn't seem to care.

He reverse sweeps his first ball for four and then sends the next ball to the boundary.

Lawrence then comes down the wicket to the first ball of Organ's next over and thrashes a third successive boundary off the spinner.

A single then takes the deficit down to exactly 400.

Another big wicket for Hampshire and another for Felix Organ.

He has that knack.

Five balls into Siddarth Kaul's latest over and here come the covers as the umpires decide it is raining too hard to continue - and the teams will have tea.

Despite the hold-up, this game between two winless teams is intriguingly poised.

Yorkshire lead by 217, but if Northants can restrict their fourth-innings chase to under 300, they will fancy their chances.

Shan Masood is 82 not out despite a sore wrist, having struck three sixes and eight fours in his 108-ball knock so far.

Ben Foakes is moving a little gingerly as he plays out a maiden to Liam Dawson's ninth over.

He drops the ball at his feet and can then hardly move his front foot forward to prod the ball to the ball to short leg.

England don't have a Test match until July so there's a fair chunk of time to recuperate.

It looks like more rain may be on the way at Wantage Road.

Will Luxton is beaten by a good one from Justin Broad but drives the next square to get off the mark with four.

Back-to-back boundaries for Harry Finch off Simon Harmer is a good show of intent.

Harmer just hasn't been able to build up the pressure as he normally does.

It's 0-87 from his 26 overs.

There hasn't been any play at Bristol since about 12:45.

Umpires Naeem Ashraf and Paul Pollard have taken a look and decided to hold a further inspection at 16:00 BST.

It's a real shame because Graeme van Buuren and James Bracey provided some great entertainment this morning.

Harry Finch and Joe Denly complete a 50 stand for Kent's sixth wicket.

They are really making Essex toil with the ball.

Finch is on 24, while Denly is 20 away from a century.

With a first innings lead of 135, Alex Davies' 127 not out to carry his bat only grows in significance.

He shows his confidence as he crashes his second ball in his second knock through the covers for four off Tom Bailey.

Davies will be enjoying this match against his old county very much.

Contrasting boundaries for Ryan Higgins off Jayden Seales to open his account.

The first is flashed just out of the reach of second slip, but the second is pulled with authority through the leg-side.

All eyes on the umpires as await 3pm inspections at both Bristol and Worcester.

We've had no play at all at New Road - that's five sessions lost so far in the match to rain.

The spinners for Warwickshire - Jake Lintott and Jacob Bethell have done a very fine job.

So 149 all out and a very healthy looking first innings lead for Warwickshire of 135 runs.
