  1. wicket

    WICKET

    Davey c Harrison b Pennington 9 (Notts 544 v Somerset 438 & 32-1)

    Dillon Pennington celebrates taking wicketRex Features

    Notts have the breakthrough!

    A little bit of bounce from the blonde locks of Dillon Pennington and he draws a thick edge from Josh Davey.

    It flies low to second slip where Calvin Harrison gets down and takes a very smart catch.

    Somerset 74 behind.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Gubbins c Roderick b Allison 84 (Worcs 249 v Hants 293 & 197-4)

    Nick Gubbins has been a model of concentration on his way towards a century but doesn't get his feet moving and is reaching for this drive.

    Ben Allison finds the edge and the catch is taken behind by Gareth Roderick.

  3. Essex 602-6d & 34-1 v Warks 485

    How adventurous do Essex want to be today?

    Yorkshire are heading for victory which is going to leave things very tightly bunched in the bottom half of the table.

    Eight draw points may be in the front of Essex minds.

    They lead by 151.

  4. Notts 544 v Somerset 438 & 24-0

    Lewis Gregory battingRex Features

    Josh Davey and Lewis Gregory have got through five overs for Somerset, who need to basically bat all afternoon to save the game.

    Gregory, the Somerset skipper, has twice driven Brett Hutton lavishly through cover for four and angled Mohammad Abbas to third man for another boundary.

    The sooner the visitors can knock off the deficit, the easier it becomes.

  5. Play starts at Old Trafford

    Lancs 230-5 (target 473) v Glamorgan

    The morning rain has moved away from Old Trafford and they're under way.

    Marcus Harris and Tom Bailey are in the middle for Lancashire with another 243 runs needed for victory.

    Survival is probably the name of the game rather than a chase.

  6. 'A lost cause for Sussex'

    Yorks 545-9d v Sussex 222 & 147-7

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex

    It wasn't a great shot at all, he knew it when he walked off.

    Jack Carson will come in and battle away but it's almost a lost cause now for Sussex.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Lamb c Duke b Sutherland 7 (Yorks 545-9 dec v Hants 222 & 143-7)

    The flurry of wickets this morning had given way to a period of calm with Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Danny Lamb taking cue from Yorkshire Day and digging in.

    But Lamb has a rush of blood and takes a cross-batted swipe at a wide delivery from Will Sutherland and edges into Harry Duke's gloves behind the stumps.

  8. 'Yorkshire in a good spot'

    Yorks 545-9d v Sussex 222 & 143-6

    Jonathan Doidge
    BBC Radio Leeds cricket commentator

    Hill is trying to get the ball to swing at the moment.

    Hudson-Prentice has cashed in on a few of these deliveries that are over-pitched.

    Yorkshire won't be too bothered, they're in a pretty good spot.

  9. Division Two latest

    Ben Compton plays a cut shotRex Features

    Not a huge amount to report in Division Two at the moment with delayed starts in three of the four matches.

    The umpires have had a look at Old Trafford where Glamorgan need five more Lancashire wickets for victory... they'll have another inspection in about five minutes.

    There is some play between Kent and leaders Leicestershire - the Foxes have removed nightwatchman George Garrett and Ben Dawkins, but Ben Compton is still going strong on 129. Kent are 249-5 and 222 behind.

    We're still awaiting news of any start time at Cheltenham College and Northants.

  10. Back under way at New Road

    Worcs 249 v Hants 293 & 169-3

    It was just a short shower and they are back on in Worcester.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Thain c Smith b Bamber 2 (Essex 602-6d & 10-1 v Warks 485)

    A smart delivery from Ethan Bamber gets an early breakthrough in the Essex second innings.

    A little bounce from a tight line takes a thin edge from Noah Thain to the wicketkeeper.

    Essex lead by 127.

  12. wicket

    Notts all out

    Harrison c Leach b Davey 31 (Notts 544 v Somerset 438)

    Notts all done as Calvin Harrison tries to punch Josh Davey over cover but picks out Jack Leach.

    Notts have a lead of 106.

    They now have a minimum of 85 overs to try and force victory.

  13. rain stops play

    Rain stops play

    Worcs 249 v Hants 293 & 164-3

    Groundstaff are beavering away to cover the square as a spots of rain force the players and umpires from the middle at New Road.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Pennington b Ball 7 (Notts 542-9 v Somerset 438)

    A third wicket for Jake Ball as Dillon Pennington steps to leg to try and swing towards the short off side boundary but has his middle stump uprooted.

  15. Notts lead by 101

    Notts 539-8 v Somerset 438

    A little psychological milestone for Notts as they edge their lead into three figures.

    The longer they can keep Somerset out there this morning, the better.

    Calvin Harrison has struck three impressive boundaries, including a firm back-foot punch wide of deep midwicket.

  16. wicket

    Warwickshire all out

    Hannon-Dalby lbw Westley 3 (Essex 602-6d v Warks 485)

    Ollie Hannon-Dalby survived 26 balls to help Ed Barnard through to his ton but he falls to Tom Westley's off spin.

    Round the wicket, he slides one into the left-hander, beats the inside edge and traps him plumb lbw.

    Essex take a first innings lead of 117.

    How quickly can Essex build up the lead for a declaration?

    Or can Warwickshire put pressure on with the ball?

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Simpson b White 0 (Yorks 545-9 dec v Sussex 222 & 117-6)

    And this is a really big blow to Sussex's hopes... and a boost to Yorks' of wrapping this up with time to spare.

    John Simpson has gone to the fifth ball he faces, offering no stroke and hearing Jack White's delivery clatter his off stump.

  18. 'A massive blow for Sussex'

    Yorks 545-9d v Sussex 222 & 117-5

    Jonathan Doidge
    BBC Radio Leeds cricket commentator

    That's a massive blow for Sussex.

    There really won't be much confidence in the Sussex dressing room now.

    There's a slight drop of rain which may bring the slightest hope.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Hughes b Milnes 57 (Yorks 545-9 dec v Sussex 222 & 117-5)

    Daniel Hughes adds just one to his overnight score before joining Dan Ibrahim in the hutch, losing his off stump to a beautifully pitched delivery from Matt Milnes.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Tilak c Waite b Taylor 38 (Worcs 249 v Hants 293 & 151-3)

    Tilak Varma goes for a big drive down the wicket but gets under it and skies it to wid mid off where Matthew Waite takes the catch.

    That was just what Worcs need and it is a sixth wicket in the match for Tom Taylor.
