  1. WORCESTERSHIRE RELEGATED FROM DIV 1published at 13:54 BST 17 September

    Durham v Worcestershire 345-5

    Despite Gareth Roderick's excellent hundred, Worcestershire have failed to reach a third batting point.

    It means their relegation from Division One is confirmed, barring any unforeseen points deductions.

  2. Postpublished at 13:54 BST 17 September

    Somerset 454-8 dec v Hants 84-4

    Lewis Gregory has not gone for a change of pace but a change of spin with Lewis Goldsworthy replacing Archie Vaughan.

    It costs one sweetly-struck four off the bat of Ben Brown.

    But now Vaughan is back at the other end which could mean a switch of ends for Jack Leach.

  3. 100 runs

    Gareth Roderick tucks a single into the leg side and brings up a 12th first-class century off 180 deliveries.

    Well played.

    There we are...

    Full from Gus Atkinson and Dillon Pennington's off stump is uprooted.

    Surrey will require 315 runs to win.

  5. 250 runs

    250 up for Nottspublished at 13:48 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 254-9

    Thirty-one runs added since the resumption.

    Each one heaps more pressure on Surrey.

    Make that 35 runs as Brett Hutton slaps one to the extra-cover fence.

    The lead moves to 312 runs.

    Sussex 137-5 v Yorks 194

    Jack Carson scores the first runs of his innings with a square cut for four off Matt Milnes. He pinches the strike with a single to backward point to end the over.

  7. Postpublished at 13:46 BST 17 September

    Somerset 454-8 dec v Hants 78-4

    Washington Sundar and Ben Brown would be two of the more accomplished players of spin in the Hants line up,

    And the pair have looked fairly comfortable against Jack Leach and Archie Vaughan since lunch.

    Somerset skipper Lewis Gregory could be thinking of a seam option shortly as he seeks to regain the momentum they had before the break.

  8. Latest from Derbypublished at 13:45 BST 17 September

    Derbyshire 17-0 v Glamorgan 259 - start delayed

    Nick Webb
    BBC Radio Wales

    It looks likely we’ll get some cricket at Derby on day three with the umpires scheduling a further inspection at 14:15 BST.

    Conditions are drying up slowly after this morning’s downpours, and Derbyshire could get 40-odd overs to pursue their slim hopes of victory over Glamorgan – who are currently 25 points above them in the promotion race.

  9. 'Fisher has 11 wickets in the game'published at 13:43 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 246-9

    Mark Church
    BBC Radio London commentator

    Josh Tongue gets an outside edge and is gone.

    Matt Fisher has his sixth wicket in the innings and his 11th in the game. He's bowled well, never taken a 10-fer in a match before this one.

  10. Postpublished at 13:43 BST 17 September

    Sussex 127-5 v Yorks 194

    The floodlights are still on at Hove, but we have a prompt start following the lunch interval.

    John Simpson takes a fresh guard and will face Matt MIlnes.

  11. Postpublished at 13:41 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 245-9

    An eventful over with the wicket of Josh Tongue making it 11 in the game for Matt Fisher.

    But two boundaries mean Surrey will have to score over 300 to try to win this.

    Mind you, they need the final wicket first.

    The lead is 303 runs.

  12. Postpublished at 13:40 BST 17 September

    Durham v Worcestershire 338-5

    Ben Gibbon survives Ben Raine's latest over, meaning Gareth Roderick is back on strike.

    The Worcestershire wicketkeeper moves to 99 as he turns Matt Potts round the corner for a single...

  13. 300 lead for Nottspublished at 13:40 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 245-9

    Another little milestone in this game as the Notts lead goes over the 300 mark with a Dillon Pennington boundary.

    c Foakes b Fisher 22 (Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 241-9)

    Josh Tongue drives Matt Fisher down the ground for four runs.

    He tries it again...and fails...

    This one seams away and there's an audible edge through to Ben Foakes.

    Eleven wickets for Fisher and Notts lead by 299 runs.

    Dillon Pennington is the last man in.

  15. 'Really handy contribution from Hutton'published at 13:39 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 236-8

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    Brett Hutton has batted well and there's no telling at the moment how valuable his runs will be.

    This a really handy contribution from him for the second time in this game. He's frustrating and holding up this Surrey attack.

  16. Postpublished at 13:32 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 231-8

    Josh Tongue has one first-class 50 to his name and Brett Hutton has seven so they're not about to give this away.

    Hutton flays Gus Atkinson away to the cover boundary where Matt Fisher should stop it but somehow it goes through him for four runs.

  17. Play at Chester-le-Streetpublished at 13:29 BST 17 September

    Durham v Worcestershire 321-5

    Away we go at Chester-le-Street.

    Gareth Roderick moves to 96 with a single into the leg side off the bowling of Ben Raine.

  18. Back in action at Tauntonpublished at 13:25 BST 17 September

    Somerset 454-8 dec v Hants 66-4

    Jack Leach fires down the first ball after lunch and Washington Sundar starts with a bang, going down on to one knee and swiping from outside off, sending it to the mid on boundary.

  19. Postpublished at 13:24 BST 17 September

    Surrey 173 v Notts 231 & 225-8

    Gus Atkinson cuts Josh Tongue in half with one which nips back a long way.

    The bowler thought he was through but it bounces over the stumps.

    That's not really what the Surrey batsmen want to see.

  20. No play possible at Leicesterpublished at 13:23 BST 17 September

    Leicestershire 459-7 dec v Kent 17-0

    Uptonsteel County Ground, LeicesterImage source, Rex Features

    A blow to Leicestershire's hopes of securing the Division Two title on their home ground as no play is possible on day three at Grace Road because of rain.

    Kent have five teenagers in their side and although the weather today has denied them Championship batting experience, the job of leaving with a draw has become a whole lot easier with just three sessions left in the game.
