James Vince's 44 has helped stretch Hampshire's advantage towards 300 runs at the lunch break.

He fell to Amar Virdi (2-57) just before the interval, leaving Liam Dawson and Tom Prest at the crease.

Before that, Pears veteran Joe Leach had starred for the visitors, taking 3-17 in 11 overs, dismissing Hampshire's top three.

Hampshire have five wickets in hand as they look to build that lead up to a daunting total for the visitors.

Northants have moved towards victory this morning with three more wickets.

Two for Indian legger Yuzvendra Chahal and one for Ben Sanderson.

But from 92-7, Scott Currie has gone to fifty in 111 balls and takes lunch 50 not out.

Tom Scriven has played positively for his unbeaten 42 and the Foxes, only eight behind, will surely now avoid an innings defeat.

A morning that gives Surrey one hand on the Championship.

They've taken five wickets - Dan Worrall began the day with two in the first over, including the second nightwatchman Daniel Hogg.

Two wickets also for Sam Curran and Jordan Clark with the other.

Only Emilio Gay has been able to resist and he takes lunch 40 not out.

Durham still trail by 55.

The fall of five wickets for 48 runs this morning had given Glamorgan a glimmer of hope which had seemed unlikely overnight.

But Dom Bess and Jonathan Tattersall have slowly smothered that with a partnership of 56 approaching lunch.

Champagne moment of the morning belonged to the hosts though.

James Harris reached a line that few do, bagging Jonny Bairstow leg before to take a 600th first class wicket as part of a 4-60 haul.

Anderson Phillip blocks the final two balls of Jack Leach's over.

But because Lancashire are nine wickets down, we are going to have a delayed lunch at Old Trafford.

Brett Randell will continue at the other end.

Henry Crocombe came to the fore for Sussex to finish off Gloucestershire and earn the innings win for Sussex before lunch on day three.

He didn't pick up a wicket in Glos' first innings and didn't have one in the second until about half-an-hour ago.

Crocombe then took the last four wickets in eight balls.

Stan: "Roland-Jones in 6 games since June: 41 wickets at 16, 7 five-fers, 2 ten-fers."

*We haven't checked those stats - but that's seriously impressive.

Dom Bess (26no) and his skipper Jonathan Tattersall (25no) have steadied the ship here as Yorkshire have pushed on past the 200 mark, taking their lead to 332.

Bits of weather predicted tomorrow but Yorkshire will not take any risks you would think and keep on batting for a while yet.

Sussex are back in Division One!

Glos started the day on 140-3 but Sussex's bowlers removed Chris Dent early and from then on they tore through the hosts' batting line-up.

Sussex win, and win in style, as they return to Division One for the first time in 10 years.

Congratulations!

Here's Jack Leach. Luke Wells immediately on the attack and hits the spinner away for four.

Another boundary, this one by George Balderson, ends the over and the lead is 373.

Archie Vaughan finds a little bit of turn, but George Balderson plays it wide of slip for a couple of runs.

He then lofts down the ground for a couple before an on-drive brings the left-hander a boundary.

This partnership is worth 119, Balderson is 32 not out and Luke Wells has 123.

Six for Liam Dawsonpublished at 12:09 British Summer Time 19 September

Hampshire 462 & 79-4 v Worcs 273

First six of the innings!

Liam Dawson goes big to Pears spinner Amar Virdi and clears the rope in the Southampton sunshine.

He and James Vince are looking quite settled now after that flurry of Worcestershire (Joe Leach) wickets.

The lead is up to 270 and they are taking the game away from the visitors.

Still trailing by 46, the home side have had a bit of a shocker this morning losing seven wickets for 65 runs.

Relegation will surely be rubber-stamped at Canterbury which will be seeing second flight cricket next season unless something extraordinary happens.

The Division Two promotion race will not be settled until the final week of the season after third-placed Middlesex complete an emphatic victory at Derby.

They needed only 19 overs on day three to claim the seven wickets needed after Derbyshire resumed on 74-3, earning them 22 points.

Captain Toby Roland-Jones took 5-38, giving him magnificent match figures of 10-72.

But the final wicket was taken by Noah Cornwell, who bowled Alex Thomson for 16, leaving Pat Brown unbeaten on two.
