They have just missed out on maximum batting points but Middlesex reach 450 in 113 overs.

Leus du Plooy is eight away from a double century and presumably if he reaches that milestone his team won't bat too much longer.

The most recent wicket to fall was not one Zafar Gohar will want to watch back.

He chased a wide delivery from Graeme van Buuren and managed to chop it back all the way onto his stumps - quite a feat!

Haseeb Hameed goes back to Ed Barnard, running the ball to deep third for two to take Notts to 50.

A single off the third ball and Ben Slater glances a leg side ball fine for four.

Notts are within 250 runs of the title. They can clinch it if they make 300 within 110 overs.

Pitches have been a bit of a problem this summer, there has been a lot of pretty dead pitches elsewhere, but this is a decent batting pitch.

Jack Leach is forward to Simon Harmer, pushing the spinner into the off side.

He gets a top edge sweeping the fourth ball, which lands safely and Leach runs tow.

That's the innings 400 in the 114th over.

Yorks openers Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean are not finding this easy against Ben Raine and Matthew Potts with a couple of good shouts for lbw turned down.

A first boundary of the innings finally comes in the sixth over to move them to the cusp of double figures.

Haseeb Hameed moves to 25 with a punch through point off Ed Barnard for four.

Just pushed it from the crease. Super timing.

Ben Slater gets a four of his own, cutting Michael Booth to point.

Somerset are cashing in on what looks like a very good surface.

Lewis Goldsworthy pushes Simon Harmer to mid on for one.

He now has 80.

Jack Leach misses with an attempted square cut but survives the over.

It's still interestingly poised all this. With Nottinghamshire and Surrey we've kept an eye on the top of the table but the bottom of the table could get very interesting.

Hampshire have put themselves under a little bit of pressure this morning due to some good Surrey bowling, there was nothing wrong with the batting

Warwickshire have done a fine holding job in the main this morning but there's no stopping this shot from Haseeb Hameed off Michael Booth.

A touch full and driven past the outstretched boot of Booth for four down the ground.

Spinner Matt Critchley is in the attack for Essex.

His first ball is tossed up and Lewis Goldsworthy plays late to drive the ball off side for one.

Jack Leach gets off the mark with a couple pushed behind cover point on the front foot.

Captain-keeper and now opener Lewis McManus will get the innings started with rookie Arush Buchake.

He's a busy man.

McManus to face opposition captain Ian Holland.

Maiden over from Ed Barnard.

Now Michael Booth is going to have a bowl from around the wicket to Ben Slater, who plays late to nudge to deep third for one.

Haseeb Hameed has one hand off the bat going forward and the ball runs off a thick edge wide of the slips for two.

A play and a miss! Hameed takes a moment to compose himself before the next ball. He sees out the over.

No rest for Ben Raine who takes off his pads, might have a quick cup of coffee if he's lucky, and rummages for his bowling boots.

Just 10 minutes after walking off with a second first class century of his career, he is back at the day job with Adam Lyth is in his sights.

Durham have missed out on a third batting point by just four runs, as Jack White took three wickets on the second morning of this match to pick up his first five wicket haul for Yorkshire.

He took two wickets in a maiden over in the fourth over of the day. He took Matty Potts' middle stump out of the ground when he was on 31. That ended an excellent stand for the eighth wicket with Ben Raine at 87 runs.

White then bowled Daniel Hogg for a fourth ball duck and a few overs later saw off Ben Raine for 101. Raine looked to pull the ball through the legside but edged down to George Hill at third man. White finished with figures of 20.2 overs, 5-69.

How important could that missed point prove to be come the end of the game and relegation though?

Durham survived relegation here on the final day of the 2006 season - by half a point! A nervy couple of days beckon.

Keaton Jennings has just fallen one short of a half-century as Lancashire lose their first wicket of the innings.

Timm van der Gugten, who top-scored with the bat for Glamorgan with 53, pins Jennings lbw for 49.

George Scrimshaw wraps up the innings with a short ball that Josh Hull feathers to captain-keeper Lewis McManus down the leg side.

This is a more than handy total against a Northants side missing the batting of Luke Procter and Ricardo Vasconcelos.
