Ben Green will be really happy with his five wickets.

He’s bowled really well; it’s been a brilliant performance from him.

It was an excellent contribution from James Bracey who was just short of his century, he made sure Gloucestershire put up a good score in the end.

James Bracey is left high and dry on 93* as last man Ajeet Singh-Dale is cleaned-up by Ben Green who ends with 5-63.

Some recover from 88-7, thanks largely to in-form Bracey who posts his third straight red inker and helped his side claim an improbable batting point.

Plenty of patience and resolve on show for both teams in this game.

But ultimately Somerset have blinked first, losing 5-77 in the middle session of play today.

We've seen some seam movement and swing since lunchtime and the run rate has been kept under three an over.

Tom Lammonby looked the most assured for a 173-ball innings of 76 which ended bizarrely with him being bowled round his legs after moving across his stumps, trying to glance Dan Worrall to fine leg.

Can Surrey wrap the innings up tonight? Will Sean Dickson bat again tonight after a painful index finger injury in the third over this morning?

For now Kasey Aldridge faces James Taylor on four not out.

His batting partner and captain Lewis Gregory is yet to get off the mark after seven deliveries.

Ben Allison is on strike to Jake Ball to begin the evening session after Tom Taylor became the third man to depart for the Pears to the final ball of a session already this season.

It was a good toss to win, as Durham did, but while they'll be keen to whip these final two men out, they wont be relishing building a big total in these conditions tonight.

Haseeb Hameed is batting like he's got 114 but, a good as he's looked, he has only 14.

And he very nearly undoes all his good work thus far to one from Ollie Robinson as he rocks back and waves his bat at the ball as it whizzes uncomfortably close to the outside edge on its way through to John Simpson.

But Hameed doesn't let that slight slip in concentration bother him as caresses another one through extra-cover for four. It's so nice.

You could watch that shot all day. Heck, all year.

A total that Gloucestershire would've taken.

It's been a great fight-back from them.

Division One

Surrey v Somerset 164-5 - Lammonby 76

Notts 14-0 v Sussex 169 - Tongue 5-44, Hutton 4-53 - (back in play)

Worcestershire 142-8 v Durham - Ball 3-38

Division Two

Gloucestershire 236-9 v Leicestershire - Bracey 77* Green 4-61 (still playing)

Derbyshire 164-2 v Middlesex - Lloyd 93, Came 62*

A change of angle almost does the trick for Jayden Seales.

After three balls from over the wicket to the left-handed Ben Slater, he switches to round the wicket and nearly has Slater, who dangles his bat at one quite a way from his body.

But the next delivery is played with much more conviction as he stands up and smacks it off the back foot for four through the covers.

In Ollie Robinson's next over, Haseeb Hameed brings out another exhibit from the Museum of Cover Drives and the ball disappears with the flourish of a confident craftsman.

Kasey Aldridge will face Gus Atkinson.

He's up on his toes, defending a waspish short ball safely past forward short leg.

He sways backwards to avoid another brutal bouncer and ducks under another bouncer which runs away for four byes.

That ball passed his shoulder and swung sharply. Absolutely no way the keeper could've stopped that!

The drama ends for now. Back in 20 minutes.

Dan Lawrence will continue from the Vauxhall End as another aircraft screeches over the Oval.

Kasey Aldridge turns the off spinner into the leg side for one.

This has been a superb session of play for Surrey, who bowled with patience and control throughout.

One more over before tea.

Time for a captain's innings.

The moral of the Surrey bowling is persistence pays.

Former (do we say that now?) England seamer Ollie Robinson opens up for Sussex after tea with the visitors desperate to make early progress through the Notts top order.

But that may take some doing.

Not only because conditions are not as bowler-friendly as this morning but also because Notts skipper Haseeb Hameed is in such diamond form.

His tally currently stands at 230 runs for once out before this knock and he creams the fourth ball of the innings through the covers in typically stylish fashion.

Frame it and stick it on the wall.

Derbyshire's David Lloyd is down on his haunches after attempting to hook away Ryan Higgins, only to hole-out to Max Holden near the rope at deep backward square.

He departs seven runs short of a century and a 156-run stand with Harry Came (61*) is over.

Wayne Madsen comes in as the next challenge for the Middlesex bowlers.

Gloucestershire's revival from 88-7 continues as James Bracey (64*) and No10 Josh Shaw (39*) have guided them to 217-8, a stand of 75, against Leicestershire at Bristol.

Kasey Aldridge tries to work the off spin of Dan Lawrence round the corner but doesn't get the ball past leg slip.

He switches to defending on the back foot and then gets single going back to the fifth ball to long on.

Single to James Rew pushed past square leg.

James Rew picks up two runs driving Dan Worrall on the front foot through cover.

Gus Atkinson is back in the attack from the Pavilion End for a mini burst of bowling before the tea interval.

He bowls a bumper that is angled across Kasey Aldridge who allows that ball to safely pass leg stump.

The fourth ball is a much sharper off stump bouncer and he has to sway backwards to evade it.

The fifth ball is also short, striking the shoulder and Aldridge almost walks back into his stumps. A leg slip goes in.

He plays this ball off the shoulder of his bat down the leg side for one.

A brutal over and now he'll face Dan Lawrence.

Josh Tongue’s return to the first class game continues to go from strength to strength.

The England quick claimed his second five-wicket haul of the season to help blow Sussex away in just 59 overs.

After yorking Tom Alsop in the morning session, the 27-year old roughed James Coles up with a blow to the body before enticing a simple catch from the next delivery.

Returning for a fourth spell, with Sussex seven down, Tongue then picked off the last three wickets in his comeback over, all to nicks behind the wicket to finish with 5-44
