Northants 213-8 v Lancs

Excellent knock by Lewis McManus, who goes to his second half-century of the season.

The first of them also came against Lancashire at Old Trafford last month.

What an impressive effort from Liam Guthrie, too - the Northants no 10 has helped McManus to usher this innings towards something very respectable.

The hat-trick ball is wide outside off stump and Matt Revis leaves well alone.

But there's no doubt that the tone of this match has swung in a big way over the last two overs.

Notts 153-4 v Hants

A second half century of the season for Freddie McCann and a much needed 71-run partnership growing between him and Kyle Verreynne.

Sussex have contributed to their own downfall here.

I said Ben Gibbon wasn't happy with that previous delivery and he decided to change the angle of attack. He decided to come around the wicket instead of over the wicket and it's instantly brought reward.

It's a good catch by Roderick, but you've got to say it's a poor shot.

That's a fraction too short from Matt Parkinson and Asa Tribe has plenty of time to rock back and pick the gap in the cover field.

Four runs for the 21-year-old Glamorgan opener, who now has 86 not out - surpassing his previous career-best first-class score of 70.

New over from Nathan Smith and Rob Yates pulls his opening delivery away over the used pitches for a four to mid-wicket.

He moves into the 80s and must have a second Championship hundred of the season in his sights now.

Looks like we are going to have a ball change..... wonder if the replacement will be more conducive for Surrey.

Essex may not be taking wickets, but they've certainly strangled this Yorkshire innings at times.

The batters are unable to get Simon Harmer away and Sri Lankan seamer Kasun Rajitha is doing a similar job at the other end.

So far, no sign of Adam Lyth or James Wharton losing concentration, but they'll need to break the shackles at some stage.

This has been a good partnership for Warwickshire.

Nathan Smith has been as experienced and as solid as you can imagine.

Yates has not always had everything come off the middle of the bat but he has just been patient and kept going out there.

Funny how batting can suddenly look easier.

While the softening ball is undoubtedly helping, Freddie McCann has done well here to stop a rot which had set into Notts' innings.

He is up to 37 and, in South African Kyle Verreynne (15), he has a willing and nuggety partner as Notts try to rebuild some of the damage from the second half of the morning session.

Verreynne's 128 helped his side draw with Essex in the second round of games. McCann scored a half century earlier this season against Durham.

Tom Latham helps a short ball from Nathan Smith down to long leg for an easy single as he and Rob Yates post a century stand for Warwickshire's second wicket.

It has taken them 151 balls since Alex Davies was bowled by Dan Lawrence during the morning session. Latham is now 44 not out.

Northants 150-7 v Lancs

Lewis McManus hasn't let the departure of Calvin Harrison slow his progress - he's continued to score quickly and takes the Northamptonshire total to 150.

That looked unlikely when Lancashire reduced them to 67-6 this morning, but McManus - who has just belted Anderson Phillip to the cover boundary - has given the home side hope of posting a total they can work with.
