Glamorgan successfully negotiate the final over before tea at the Spitfire Ground, bowling by Matt Parkinson, having added 143 during the afternoon for the loss of three wickets.

Chief among them was opener Asa Tribe, who was just six runs short of what would have been a maiden first-class hundred when he was bowled by Parkinson's googly.

Sam Northeast (42) and Kiran Carlson (16) were the other batsmen to go - the latter falling to a quite sensational catch by Daniel Bell-Drummond at third slip.

Colin Ingram is 55 not out and Ben Kellaway has 24, the pair having so far put on 78 for the fifth wicket.

Sussex 202-8 v Worcs

Milestone for Sussex and one they probably doubted they would pass when they were 88-6.

Much of the credit goes to Jack Carson, who takes the single off Fateh Singh. The Sussex all-rounder is now up to 61.

Kent v Glamorgan 261-4

It's been an enterprising innings by Colin Ingram but that certainly wasn't his best shot.

A checked drive results in outside edge which runs away to third man for four and carries him to 50 off 47 balls.

He already has a century and three other 50s this season and now has 431 runs in total.

That was a tough one for James Fuller.

He couldn't quite get his fingers underneath it. Out of the three dropped catches on the slips, that's the hardest one to deal with.

Jordan Clark strikes with the first ball of a new over as Sam Hain obligingly clips a catch to Dan Lawrence at square leg, and the umpires decide tea will be taken.

Hain departs for 26 and will be cross with himself for a loose shot after he and Tom Latham had added 69 following the loss of opening bat Rob Yates for 86.

Latham remains on 84 not out, a patient knock in his first County Championship innings for the club.

Warwickshire added 130 during the afternoon, having reached lunch on 121-1.

Liam Guthrie's hopes of a maiden first-class 50 are dashed as he holes out off George Balderson for 43.

But it's been a superb comeback by the Northamptonshire tail, who must have feared the worst after slumping to 67-6.

Balderson finished with 4-55, with Anderson Phillip taking 3-65.

Sussex 187-8 v Worcs

That is a well-deserved and fairly fluent half century for the man from Armagh.

He came to the wicket with his side 88-6 and very much on the slide and he has taken the fight back to Worcs.

His 50 has come in just 69 balls and helped lift Sussex back to some sort of respectability.

There were in fact three fours in that Cameron Steel over.

Following Tom Latham's fortuitous outside edge, he paddled one round the corner for four more and then drove a full toss straight down the ground.

Tom Latham and Sam Hain reach a 50 stand and Latham celebrates by pulling Jordan Clark for four to advance to 71 not out.

He tries a similar shot off spinner Cameron Steel in the next over but is through it too soon and is lucky to see an outside edge run away fine to the boundary.

Matt Critchley sends down the final over of the afternoon session, which has certainly been a good one for Essex.

They've taken four wickets for 69 runs, although James Wharton is still there on 41 and Matt Revis, on six, has helped him get through to tea.

Kent v Glamorgan 250-4

Leg-spinner Matt Parkinson floats one up to Colin Ingram and the South African hits it straight down the ground for six to post a 50 partnership from just 49 balls with Ben Kellaway.

The left-hander jabs George Garrett away for a single in the next over as Glamorgan reach 250 and collect their first batting point.

This has been an impressive fightback by Northamptonshire.

The top order crumbled, but the tail has well and truly wagged and Liam Guthrie is keeping it going.

The Australian left-hander has thrashed six boundaries so far and is on 37 - having almost doubled his previous best first-class score.

Notts 168-5 v Hants

Difficult chance low to James Fuller's right at third slip but another to go down for Hampshire as Lyndon James survives.

Notts could be all out here if they had put glue on their hands this morning.

Glamorgan are having to rebuild following the dismissal of Asa Tribe for 94.

Colin Ingram strokes George Garrett through the covers for four and is 24 not out, with Ben Kellaway on 10.

Tom Latham seems to have been on 49 for ages but he finally reaches 50 off 105 balls by pulling a short one from Jordan Clark for six.

A great way for the New Zealander to mark his first Championship appearance for Warwickshire.

Clark flexes his left leg - we mentioned earlier about him 'pulling up gingerly' during a previous spell.

Sam Hain turns Tom Lawes through square leg for four and looks set for a second boundary in the over, only for committed fielding by Rory Burns, who chases the ball down to long-off and keeps it inside the rope with a full-length dive, to restrict him to three.

This is good from Essex.

You felt they were building pressure but weren't getting the rewards in terms of wickets just before lunch and after lunch.

They definitely seemed like their confidence was up and they were able to create that pressure.

Adam Lyth was really the lynchpin. Since he's gone runs have been really difficult to come by for Yorkshire.
