This match does not deserve it for the cricket since tea, but there is a huge outburst of fireworks near Trent Bridge.

The City Ground, where Nottingham Forest are about to play Chelsea is the most likely culprit!

A first boundary since tea from Haseeb Hameed.

And it's a trademark shot of his as he whips a half-volley from Will Williams out to a wide midwicket.

Hameed has been in a blocking mode in this session, with him and Lyndon James putting a high value on their wickets.

George Scrimshaw is last man out for Northants as he swings at an Ajeet Singh Dale delivery and edges it to Ben Charlesworth in the slips.

The home side's innings never really got going it has to be said. Ricardo Vasconcelos top-scored with 43 but they lost wickets at regular intervals and the momentum was always with Gloucestershire.

Marchant de Lange starred with the ball for the visitors, taking 5-42 from 16 overs.

Glos lead by 238.

It's a fairly calm crowd. They've seen some fireworks this afternoon.

They've now see these two (Daniel Bell-Drummond and Jack Leaning) settle down after losing those two early wickets and it's become attritional again.

Bell-Drummond and Leaning have shared things in this partnership and they've rebuilt a little bit after that bit of a shock start for Kent but normal service has been resumed.

A typical Alex Lees shot as he stands up tall and drives Kyle Abbott through the covers for four.

He and David Bedingham have now put on exactly 50 for this third wicket for Durham.

Daniel Bell-Drummond and Jack Leaning have taken Kent past 50 as they look to rebuild after a horror start, losing Ben Compton and Zak Crawley cheaply.

They both have 24 and the 50 partnership is drawing near.

Good stuff from Jamie Smith and Ben Foakes since tea.

The Oval looks a picture with the sun out and the Surrey pair are showing this is a good track for batting.

They have now put on 52 for this partnership.

The runs keep on coming for Glamorgan's Colin Ingram.

A flurry of fours takes him past his latest milestone.

This is now his highest score of the season and he is comfortably topping the Division Two batting charts.

Along with Kiran Carlson they have put on almost 300 runs.

The last time Sussex celebrated a wicket was in the eleventh over - we're in the 83rd now.

It's 5pm on a lovely sunny day.

If you've not yet had an ice-cream today, the simple question is why not?

And the next would be what you'd choose. I'd go for a classic cornet.

Lancashire through bowler Will Williams, the slips and wicketkeeper Matty Hurst think they have strangled Lyndon James down leg.

Umpire Tom Lungley disagrees.

There have been 18 runs in 10 overs since tea, as both teams tussle for supremacy.

The big man bangs one down to Ben Sanderson who can't handle the pace and takes one hand off the bat as it rears up before the ball is snaffled at slip to give Marchant de Lange his fifth wicket.

He has figures of 5-38 from 14 overs.

Northants only have one wicket left.

Their innings never really recovered from when de Lange took two wickets in two balls after lunch.

After an expensive start to his bowling, Tom Hartley has settled down since tea.

His 10 overs have gone for 29 runs but Lancashire would love those figures to have a wicket or two in the column.

Another home wicket falls as Gloucestershire bowler Marchant de Lange takes his fourth of the innings.

Siddarth Kaul was excellent with the ball himself but de Lange removes him without scoring as Northants' innings continues to falter badly.

They are 247 behind.

Ben Foakes steers one through the offside and picks up two more for the total and that pushes it over 200.

Surrey trail by 142 runs and they still have Dan Lawrence, Cameron Steel, Jordan Clark and Sean Abbott to come.

Ominous!

Colin Ingram (140*) and Kiran Carlson (124*) just keep going and going.

The hosts are over 300 runs and have a 24-run lead.

A super shot from Ben Foakes down the ground gets him his first boundary.

His style may not fit Bazball, but Foakes is still a terrific county batter.

George Balderson is striving for a fourth wicket and in doing so, he oversteps.

The no-ball, along with Lyndon James' poke into the offside, adds three to the total and that is the team's 200.

They trail by 131 with half their wickets in hand.

A nice shot off the back foot from Alex Lees brings him four runs.

It reduces the Durham deficit to a mere 499! He and South Africa batter David Bedingham have a lot of work to do.
