It's a remarkable reaction catch, at the end of the day when the players are just starting to feel that little bit tired, Liam Dawson produces some excellence.

The players are off in Bristol where Yorkshire have extended their lead to 93.

And that is before Shan Masood, Joe Root and Harry Brook come to the middle.

Ben Compton has managed to avoid a sleepless night - he punches the final ball of the day from Tom Westley for two runs that bring him a century from 237 deliveries!

That completes a very good day for Kent, with Compton and Daniel Bell-Drummond, who reached stumps on 134, adding 218 so far for this second wicket.

They are still 285 behind Essex, but almost halfway to their hosts' total of 530-7 declared with Tawanda Muyeye the only man out.

George Bell has to rush to the crease far quicker than he would have imagined five minutes ago!

The field is in close.

And that is so close! George Bell plays and misses and it does not miss the stumps by much.

Great over from Ian Holland - a double wicket-maiden.

This game is in the balance still.

I think it's good hard cricket this, it's what Division One is supposed to be.

Nottinghamshire have gone bang, bang and Calvin Harrison is having a very special day.

Now Worcestershire have got to be a little bit careful.

Alex Lees eases one run into the offside from Danny Briggs and that takes his total to 90.

Five overs left today to find the 10 runs he requires for a ton.

George Balderson tries to get a touch on a very wide legside ball from Ian Holland that runs down to fine leg for the four the delivery merited.

It is given as byes but that brings up the 200 and the partnership is now 77.

If you're Durham you just have to stop looking at the score and not do the calculations .

Having said Essex had tried everything, that wasn't entirely true because skipper Tom Westley has now decided to give himself a stint with the ball.

Westley's first two overs of off-breaks yield just two runs, which are enough to usher Ben Compton into the 90s. He'll be looking to join skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond on three figures before stumps.

Ollie Robinson is one off the next rank of wicketkeeper-batters, who could be pushed forward for England duty.

He is now at the crease with Alex Lees as Durham eke into that mammoth Warwickshire total.

Robinson has 12 from 23 balls as staying at the crease is the most crucial thing for his county here.

The chat around England's wicketkeeper will only get bigger as the Test series with West Indies in July draws nearer.

Will Jonny Bairstow regain the gloves to stay in the team?

Will Ben Foakes retain his position given he is the best keeper, bar none?

Or will England go down a new direction with what they perceive to be a more dynamic wicketkeeper-batter?

Ben Foakes may not quite be Bazball-enough for the England hierarchy, but he is absolutely no mug with the bat.

He gets both feet off the ground to pull a Migael Pretorius ball to the boundary and notch up his 50.

Somerset have put the pressure on this afternoon, but Foakes has done a fine job for his team.

This has taken 97 balls, but good red-ball cricketers read the match situation.

Is this really Ben Compton we're watching?!

The Kent opener isn't renowned for being particularly flamboyant but he's just belted Matt Critchley for three boundaries in an over to move along to 87.

Essex have tried everything in terms of rotating their bowlers, but so far nothing has worked.

The players are off for bad light in Cardiff where Glamorgan lead Derbyshire by 77 runs.

The headline news is that last week's Lord's record-breaker Sam Northeast was out for a golden duck to Alex Thomson.

How entirely predictable!
