Thanks for joining us for another day of cricketing thrills and spills around the country!

Wickets continue to tumble at Chelmsford, Trent Bridge and Hove while Somerset and Surrey piled on runs in their games against Kent and Worcestershire - to say nothing of Gloucestershire's record total, topping 700 against Leicestershire.

There was no joy for England captain Ben Stokes, dismissed cheaply by Nathan Lyon at Blackpool - but what a day for Lancashire youngster Tom Aspinwall, who picked up five wickets against Durham.

Will we get some results on day three? Find out as we bring you all the action from 10:45 BST.

Until then, have a good evening!

Joe Denly is down the track driving Jack Leach straight but declines the single.

But he does take a single off the second ball to long off.

Joey Evison defends into the off side.

He blocks the last one down the track and that's stumps.

A truncated day's play ends in Somerset's favour as they racked up a record score against Kent, breaking a record that lasted for over 100 years. 126 to be precise.

Craig Overton got the hosts off to a great start by removing Zak Crawley and Daniel Bell-Drummond in his opening spell.

Ben Compton (43) was the most fluent for Kent with the bat but he fell just before the close, adjudged caught down the leg side by keeper James Rew off the bowling of Leach.

Leach is playing in his first game for Somerset this season and ends day two with 2-22 - which no doubt will please many a fan of a late great Aussie cricketer turned commentator.

Durham have got their work cut out tomorrow if they are to keep themselves in this game but of course they do have another innings to come.

We've seen a collapse that we weren't expecting today - we haven't seen anything like that this season from a Durham point of view. They haven't been skittled like that since May last year.

So they'll know that they have a mountain to climb tomorrow, a few early wickets might change the look of things but certainly Lancashire will feel that they are in the much stronger position this evening.

That's been a really good last hour for Sussex as Tom Alsop (77 not out) and Jack Carson (22 not out) saw them through to stumps without any further damage.

Yorkshire are still favourites, with Sussex's lead at 150, but a good morning with the bat could set up a grandstand finish.

Warwickshire finish day two with their second innings in tatters and their decision not to make Essex bat again looks questionable.

Rob Yates, having batted well for 28, falls in the final over of the day as Simon Harmer traps him leg before.

That means 19 wickets have fallen in the day and the Bears - despite their second-innings travails - are ahead by 278 overall.

A healthy position, but Essex will feel they're not completely out of this game...

Migael Pretorius tests Joey Evison with a short ball and angles a fuller one in off the seam.

Evison defends on the back foot.

The fifth ball takes off just short of a length outside off and Evison withdraws the blade.

Maiden over and Joe Denly will face Jack Leach for the last over tonight.

A really interesting second day, Lancashire with a good advantage at the close of play on day two but it's not out of sight yet for Durham.

An enthralling day's play, with Hampshire recovering from 77-5 to take a handy first-innings lead of 41 thanks to Liam Dawson and Keith Barker.

Haseeb Hameed went early in Nottinghamshire's second innings, but Ben Slater and Will Young have guided them to stumps on 18 and 14 respectively and they trail by just eight runs.

Good bounce and carry away from Migael Pretorius as Joey Evison leaves the ball outside off stump.

Can Jack Leach snare another one tonight?

Joe Denly is well forward to pat the ball safely down the pitch.

He's well down the track to the last ball, driving with flair and elevation to long on for four runs.

Two overs left in the day's play.

Not many left in the ground but it is an interesting game and one that looks likely to end in a win and a loss.

Warwickshire four games drawn and they've lost to Surrey, they're still searching for their first win.

If they can keep their target down to 320 even 350 Essex will have some chance, it still will be every difficult.

Nightwatchman Will Williams survives the final over from Ben Raine and Lancashire go into day three with a healthy advantage of 212.

They'll be pleased with that state of affairs, despite losing Josh Bohannon just before the close. Keaton Jennings, who top-scored with a century first time around, is still there on 38.

But the day belonged to medium-pacer Tom Aspinwall, who returned figures of 5-41 in only his second County Championship game as Durham were bowled out for 236, built around David Bedingham's third century of the season.

Sussex are fighting with the bat late in the day to try and set Yorkshire a tricky target. Tom Alsop (74 not out) has found some good support in the shape of Jack Carson to take them to 186-7. The lead is 141.

It's stumps at Derbyshire where the hosts have reached 170-2 in reply to Northants' 422 all out. Brook Guest will resume on 76 on day three.

Glamorgan have picked up a couple more Middlesex wickets to leave them 303-6, but Middlesex's lead is still a healthy 120.

Leicestershire opener has gone to fifty, but his side are still up against it against Gloucestershire. They're 133-5 and still trailing by 573.

Ben Gibbon bowls too short to Jordan Clark, who waits for it and pushes it into the covers from the crease for two.

That's a 100 partnership for the sixth wicket off 118 balls.

Successive fours are smashed through cover and mid wicket to end Day Two.

Surrey have built a gargantuan lead after a middle session wobble when they lost Ollie Pope, Rory Burns and Ben Foakes inside eight overs.

Dan Lawrence was reprieved on four by Kashif Ali at deep mid wicket with the score on 120-4 and despite some persistent Pears bowling, Surrey have only occasionally looked troubled since.

Dan Lawrence is 86 not out and Jordan Clark leaves the field unbeaten on 69.

Still seven overs left after this one from Migael Pretorius.

Harry Finch gets a couple of runs off a full ball steered to third man.

Finch lets the ball go through to the keeper to see out the over.

Jack Leach may very well be on till the close here.

Joe Denly takes Kent to 100 in the 27th over, going down the pitch to push the ball to mid on.

Harry Finch aims a cover drive and ends up squirting the ball to mid wicket.

He goes well forward to defend.

He's back to the last ball and struck on the pad! Not out.

Rob Yates and Dan Mousley have righted the Warwickshire ship, which looked to be struggling in very choppy waters at the start of this second innings.

Yates has batted solidly to reach 23, with Mousley scoring six so far in the partnership of 20.

The overall lead is 267 and there are six overs to be bowled tonight.

If I was Hampshire I'd be desperate for just one more wicket tonight, just to settle some nerves because this game is nicely poised.
