Another Gloucestershire game at Bristol, another game petering out on the final afternoon.

The new ball has helped Glamorgan more than the hosts, seemingly, as Colin Ingram has moved onto 70* while Ben Kellaway has a breezy 30*.

It's looking like 12 home games without a win for the Shire, dating back to 2022.

Well, this could be intense.

The lead is a slender 35 and barring a decline in the weather there are still 33 overs left.

Lancashire will need to bat for most of them.

George Balderson takes guard to part time off spinner George Bartlett on 0 not out off four deliveries.

Luke Wells has 14.

Hants 220-4 - target 377 to beat Surrey

Surrey take it at the first opportunity and two slips are in for Jordan Clark, who immediately beats Nick Gubbins outside off stump.

Is that the first time his footwork has faltered in this innings?

Dan Lawrence bowls to Nick Gubbins on 99.

He's got it! Back and across to thump through the off side for the precious single.

His first hundred of the season and his 10th in all first class cricket.

215 balls with 10 fours.

... and so does Ed Barnard, with two boundaries off the first over.

105 runs required...

Barnard is 73*

Still probably too much to do in this final session.

It's been an absolute terrific effort from Hampshire and to only lose the one wicket has been excellent, we all thought they'd be six or seven down by now.

The new ball will be very interesting, it can bring you wickets, but it can also bring the boundaries.

We're back on at the Oval for the final session of the match.

Nick Gubbins faces Jordan Clark on 97 not out.

Toby Albert has 52.

And Fynn Hudson-Prentice wraps up a first win for Sussex on their return to the top flight at the second attempt and a first since September 2015 with the wicket of Lewis Gregory.

James Coles does the business taking a sharp chance at third slip after Hudson-Prenctice gets the outside edge. It brings to an end a partnership of 30 for the final wicket between Gregory and Jack Leach.

It was a victory built on terrific bowling effort from Sean Hunt, who finished injured but with 9-72 in the match, and Hudson-Prentice in the first innings with 4-31 and five in the match.

And with the bat a dominant second innings effort with 141 from Tom Haines, 110 from John Simpson and 91 from Daniel Hughes saw Sussex take the game away from the visitors.

A steady stream of wickets which fell around the sole skyscraper of Tom Abell's 96 ensured that Somerset were only ever staving off defeat rather than chasing victory.

For Sussex this will fuel belief that Paul Farbrace is building a viable Division One outfit rather than one for which survival should be the limit of ambition.

Somerset have much to ponder not least of which the make up of their opening partnership after a defeat to follow the most frustrating of draws against Worcs in round one.

Division One

Surrey 253 & 342-9d v Hampshire 219 & 216-4 - Hampshire target 377 runs

Notts 347 & 329-9 - Haynes 141 v Essex 367 & 60-1 - Notts lead by 309 runs

Durham 387 & 276-8d v Warwickshire 325 & 226-5 - Barnard 64* - Warwickshire target 339 runs

Sussex 294 & 501-7d v Somerset 201 & 334-9 - Somerset target 595

Division Two

Lancashire 228 & 303-6 f/0 - Bohannon 155 v Northants 496 - Lancs lead by 35 runs

Gloucestershire 546 v Glamorgan 385 & 257-4 f/o - Glamorgan lead by 97 runs

Leicestershire 484 & 357-9d v Derbyshire 393 & 179-3 - Jewell 73 - Derbyshire target 449 runs

Off they go tea and a chat about when they will call time on this.

That was the part-session when Notts needed to make significant breakthroughs but the wicket of Charlie Allison is all they have to show for their efforts.

Essex have no interest in a nominal chase of 306 more runs so it will be a handshake and a draw at some point.

First... sandwiches and cake.

It's still drizzling at Bristol but we are back out in the murk.

New ball is due. Light meters are out to see if the Shire quick bowlers are able to use it.

All a little farcical today, in fairness...

Ajeet SIngh Dale gets the nod to deliver the fresh cherry, but for how long.

Lancashire pass 300 in the 120th over with a Luke Wells cover drive for four off Saif Zaib but Josh Balderson falls just before the break.

35 ahead. This could be a nail biter.

A thoroughly satisfying session of play for Hampshire who dare to dream going into the final session of this match.

An unbeaten 50 for Toby Albert and Nick Gubbins is 97 not out.

161 in a session to reach the target is a lot though!

Kai Smith and Ed Barnard have put on 136 in an unbroken middle session at the Riverside and have given their side a real chance of pulling off a victory which looked highly unlikely when lunch arrived with them 90-5.

They need 113 runs in 34 overs after tea. Durham need a wicket, desperately...

Toby Albert reaches outside off stump to scoop Dan Lawrence down to long on for one.

He reaches a deserved 50 off 111 balls with five fours.

"Sometimes if it's your game, it's your game."

"Saif Zaib has had an impact with bat, in the field and with the ball."

119 required.

Daniel Hogg gives up a couple of boundaries to Ed Barnard who us 64*.

Durham need tea and some fresh ideas with a ball they'll be using for 19 more overs as they are bleeding runs at the moment - asking rate is only three an over now.

Somerset 324-9 & 201 (target 595) v Sussex 294 & 501-7d

Tom Haines has put down a relatively easy chance off Jack Leach on 9 as Sussex's catching continues to fail them.

That was a straightforward edge off the bowling of James Coles and that should have been the match.
