It's pretty much been the same as Notts started after lunch with three expensive overs.

Although, wickets quickly followed, they could do with a repeat.

Back they come at Trent Bridge.

Somerset’s lead is 62.

They’re not safe yet and probably need another hour of batting to be certain of a draw.

What plans have Notts cooked up over tea?

Worcs can count themselves unlucky to have lost captain Gareth Roderick but, aside from that, have made a strong enough start to the chase.

They have had 15 overs so far and require a monumental final session 297 runs off 38 overs (minimum) at 7.82 per over.

This game has really come alive after lunch as first Somerset counterattacked but then Notts whipped out four quick wickets to leave the visitors 103-4 and still behind.

But Tom Abell and Tom Banton have gritted out a vital stand to take Somerset into tea in much better shape.

Still work to do in the final session with the lead at 62.

The weather has won at Chelmsford.

It was unlikely Essex could get far enough to defend anyway.

The hosts huge first innings total set up the game but Warwickshire battled hard to save the follow-on and that essentially made the game safe.

A very healthy draw for Essex but they will still have work to do in the final three rounds to avoid relegation.

They had to wait a while for those last three, but Yorkshire Day is Yorkshire's day.

A pretty big win for them in many aspects, in terms of runs and the table itself picking up 22 points.

Notts 554 v Somerset 438 & 159-4

Tom Abell has moved onto 37 and the former skipper is leading the visitors’ resistance.

Tom Banton is there on 16 and the pair have eased Somerset out to a lead of 53.

Notts still very much in the hunt to win here but would like a breakthrough before tea.

Good news if you're a Northamptonshire fan, bad news if you're a Derbyshire supporter.

The rain has cleared away from Wantage Road and they're planning to start at 15:30 BST.

Northants have 40 overs to get the remaining six wickets they need for a chance of victory.

An early tea at Chelmsford so the evening session could begin at 15:30 BST.

But still plenty of rain around.

Almost certainly now we’ve lost an outside chance of an Essex victory.

Somerset have steadied the ship but only have a lead of 37.

Mohammad Abbas is back for a second spell with Calvin Harrison still wheeling away with his leggers.

Archie Vaughan and Craig Overton still to come - but then a decent tail with Jack Leach at nine.

Into the final half hour of the session.

He was absolutely fuming with that dismissal, he ripped his gloves off after that, he's absolutely furious but he did well not to show any dissent.

There's been a lot of decisions where the umpires have kept their fingers in their pockets but not there.

Kent opener Ben Compton moves to 218 to go past his previous first-class best of 217.

The left-hander has scored more than 6,000 first-class runs at an average above 45.

Numbers not to be sniffed at.

There's still 50 overs left today, but another over does pass for Yorkshire's bowlers.

I don't think there will be any panic unless it gets down to 10 overs.

Runs don't matter for Sussex too much unless they get a lead but we are a long way off that.

Joe Phillips enjoys batting at Cheltenham College.

After two fifties in the game against Lancashire last week, the 21-year-old has brought up another half-century.

He's 60 not out with Ollie Price just starting his innings after Cameron Bancroft was dismissed for 58.
