Gideon Brooks, Chris Harby, Steve Mather and Paul Grunill

  1. Surrey 380-8 v Durham 262

    New batter Conor McKerr is not hanging around it's fair to say.

    He clubs his first ball from Callum Parkinson for four and then goes aggressive again and pics up three from the next.

    James Minto's 12th over goes for a couple of singles as Surrey close in on a fourth batting point.

    Ten overs left today.

  2. wicket

    WICKET Virdi lbw Dawson 1

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 272-9

    A fourth for Liam Dawson as he traps Amar Virdi lbw.

    Gareth Roderick and Ethan Brookes put on 196 for the sixth wicket and to be honest it looked like Hampshire had run out of steam and ideas.

    But since Roderick departed, the Pears are 4-15.

  3. Kent 225 and 33-0 f/o v Notts 433

    Lyndon James is into the attack for Notts and almost takes out the off stump second ball as Ben Compton shouldered arms.

    Maiden.

    Jacob Duffy and Ben Lord had put the brakes on Kent's early momentum a little, but the visitors are still looking for a dent in the second innings.

  4. Lancs 140 & 269-7 v Somerset 146

    The new ball only brought Somerset one wicket.

    They turn again to England spinner Jack Leach.

    A solitary slip and short leg are in position.

  5. wicket

    WICKET van Beek lbw Dawson 3

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 266-8

    Liam Dawson has a third as Logan van Beek departs and all of a sudden Hampshire have taken three wickets in six overs.

    What a huge difference getting rid of Roderick has made to this game.

    As well the Pears pair batted, the visitors are still a long, long way behind Hampshire.

  6. wicket

    WICKET Patel c de Leede b Parkinson 134

    Surrey 371-8 v Durham 262

    Take a bow, Ryan Patel - that was some innings.

    Patel plays across the line to Callum Parkinson and picks out Bas de Leede on the deep square leg boundary.

    His superb, potentially match-winning 187-ball knock is at an end.

    Conor McKerr joins Tom Lawes.

  7. 6 runs

    Surrey 371-7 v Durham 262

    Ryan Patel welcomes James Minto back into the attack by launching his first ball for a massive six.

    The 16-year-old tries a short ball first up and Patel is on to it in a flash, hooking it for a maximum.

    Three further singles complete the over. Patel is up to 134 and the eighth-wicket partnership to 92.

    Minto will have easier days than this in his first-class career.

  8. Yorkies off to flier

    Glam 239 v Yorks 361 & 56-0

    Yorkshire's openers, Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean, have made a brisk start to their second innings scuttling along at a shade under five an over.

    It is clear the pair are not feeling any particular pressure given the lead is up to 178 but the home attack are offering way too many gifts either side of the stumps

    The top of off might be worth aiming at. Just a suggestion to throw in the mix.

  9. 50 runs

    for Luke Wells

    Lancs 140 & 268-7 v Somerset 146

    Luke WellsRex Features

    Two successive cover drives for four off Brett Randell take Luke Wells to 50 from 98 balls.

    It's been an excellent innings for his side and having looked down and out on day one, thoughts in the home dressing room may now be turning towards winning this match.

    He adds a third four for good measure from an expensive over for Somerset. The lead is now 262.

  10. Surrey first innings lead moves into three figures

    Surrey 362-7 v Durham 262

    Ryan Patel turns Bas de Leede into the onside for a couple as Surrey continue to milk the new ball bowling.

    A single brings Tom Lawes on to strike who almost nibbles at a ball outside off stump but thinks better of it.

    De Leede oversteps to gift the champions more extras.

    Callum Parkinson continues and Patel looks to drive but settles for a single which takes the lead to 100 exactly.

    This looks hugely decisive.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Brookes c Fuller b Dawson 132

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 263-7

    A fine innings comes to an end.

    Ethan Brookes has batted superbly today and has a maiden first-class century to take away from the match.

    He has played a lot of sweep shots in that 132 but it is the shot that ultimately does for him as he tops it and sends it to James Fuller on the boundary who takes a deep breath before taking the important catch.

    So, very quickly after Hampshire broke the 196-run partnership, both men responsible for it are back in the pavilion.

  12. Kent 225 and 32-0 f/o v Notts 433

    Rob Lord is so close to making inroads into the Kent second innings.

    A super delivery cuts Tawabda Muyeye in half, spearing into the gap between bat and pad and whizzing an inch over off-stump.

  13. wicket

    WICKET Ahmed st McManus b Chahal 3

    Northants 383 v Leics 203 & 55-4

    Rehan Ahmed is dismissedRex Features

    If there's anyone in the Leicestershire side who knows about leg-spin bowling, it should be Rehan Ahmed.

    But just like Ian Holland before him, he is beaten by Yuzi Chahal's turn and Lewis McManus does the rest.

    Northants well on course for a second successive win after failing to register a single victory in their first 11 games.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Chris Dent

    Glos 109 & 123-2 v Sussex 311

    Chris DentGetty Images

    A half-century for Chris Dent, who is going along nicely with Miles Hammond (33*) to leave Gloucestershire trailing by just 79 now.

    That's the 67th half-century of Dent's career, and came in 126 balls.

  15. Kent make a fast start

    Kent 225 and 27-0 f/o v Notts 433

    Tawanda Muyeye is into his groove quickly in this second innings with a hat-trick of fours from Rob Lord's first over.

    A strike rate of 200 for his first six balls.

    Ben Compton follows suit, lifting a short, wide ball from Jacob Duffy over gully for anther boundary.

    A Compton single then a textbook cover drive from Muyeye. Shot!!

    Kent click into in T20 mode - nine an over thus far.

  16. wicket

    WICKET Patel c Sales b Zaib 35

    Northants 383 v Leics 203 & 50-3

    Easy pickings for Northants as Rishi Patel chips a catch to mid-wicket.

    James Sales and Saif Zaib did their bit with the bat earlier in the day and the same combination has brought Northants a third wicket.

    There are a minimum of seven overs remaining in the day's play.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Roderick lbw Organ 94

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 257-6

    Gareth Roderick goes six short of a ton!

    It brings an end to a 196-run partnership between the opener and Ethan Brookes (128*).

    Felix Organ takes the all-important scalp shortly after he conceded his 100th run in just 14 overs.

    What a relief for him and for Hampshire!

  18. 250 up for Worcestershire

    Hampshire 462 v Worcs 250-5

    This is a very impressive partnership for the Pears.

    It looked like they were going to get skittled early in the innings but Roderick and Brookes have put in an incredible effort.

  19. Surrey earn third batting point

    Surrey 350-7 v Durham 262

    Surrey are rattling along after tea as they leave Durham's first innings total further and further behind.

    Callum Parkinson has been brought in to slow down the momentum, but Ryan Patel punches him back down the ground for a single to bring up the 350.

    The last 11 runs have yielded 62 runs since the new ball was taken.

    And the lead moves closer to three figures.

    The Durham attack looks to be running out of steam.

  20. 100 up for Glos

    Glos 109 & 109-2 v Sussex 311

    They've equalled their first innings total, with only two wickets down.

    Chris Dent is on 44 and Miles Hammond 24, and the duo have put on 50 together to help their side rebuild.

    They currently trail by 93.
