  1. Career milestone for Harris

    Glamorgan 239 v Yorks 361 & 180-6

    Glamorgan’s James Harris reached the landmark figure of 600 first-class wickets when he trapped Jonny Bairstow lbw as Yorkshire lost four wickets in the first hour in Cardiff.

    The 34-year-old, who spent nine seasons with Middlesex and is his ninth with Glamorgan, is playing the 185th red-ball match of a career which saw him on the fringe of England honours for several years.

    All four victims in the current innings have been leg-before as the hosts made the most of overcast conditions early on, with Harris also getting rid of Finlay Bean (57) and James Wharton while Andy Gorvin bowled night-watchman Matthew Fisher.

    But Yorkshire are still in control of the match as their lead has passed 300 - and if they are bowled out, it will give them more time to dismiss Glamorgan to keep up their promotion challenge.

  2. wicket

    WICKET: Robinson b SM Curran 14

    Surrey 415 v Durham 262 & 74-6

    Surrey are making quick work of things this morning.

    Here's their fifth wicket as Sam Curran swings one back into Ollie Robinson, who shouldered arms and lost his off stump.

    Durham desperately need a partnership. They're sliding to an innings defeat at the moment.

    But batting still to come after two nightwatchmen were used.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Morley c Higgins b Hollman 0

    Derbys 173 & 115-9 v Middlesex 358

    Middlesex are almost there.

    Luke Hollman claims his second success in Derbyshire's second innings as Jack Morley departs.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Middleton c Simpson b Crocombe 23

    Glos 109 & 189-7 v Sussex 311

    Gloucestershire had been rebuilding somewhat after losing three early wickets but the budding partnership between Ed Middleton and Tom Price has now ended.

    Middleton edges behind from Henry Crocombe's delivery and is gone for a resolute 23 from 65 balls.

    Zafar Gohar worked wonders with the ball yesterday - picking up his 300th first-class wicket with a haul of 6-76 - but now his team need to him to do something with the bat.

    Glos trail by 11 runs with three wickets in hand.

  5. Lancs 140 & 350-7 v Somerset 146

    Four singles from Archie Vaughan's latest over and the Lancashire lead reaches 344.

    How are Somerset going to take these three wickets? It's Tom Lammonby's time to provide some left-arm variety.

  6. Five wickets for Toby Roland-Jones

    Derbys 173 & 112-8 v Middlesex 358

    Toby Roland-JonesGetty Images

    Five in the innings, 10 in the match and 51 for the season for Middlesex's Toby Roland-Jones as young Harry Moore edges to the keeper and is out for seven.

    What a brilliant servant TRJ has been for his club - and he's still one of the best bowlers around the county circuit.

  7. wicket

    WICKET: Hill b ven der Gugten 4

    Glam 239 v Yorks 361 & 168-6

    Timm van der Gugten gets another and George Hill is furious with himself, trying to leave a nip-backer and dragging it on to his stumps.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Brown lbw Virdi 0

    Hampshire 462 & 67-4 v Worcs 273

    Ben Brown departs without scoring from six balls as Amar Virdi pins him lbw.

    That's the Pears bowler's first scalp of the second innings and he got a five-wicket haul in the first.

    So Hampshire have lost four wickets this morning while stretching their lead out to 257.

  9. Durham slump at The Oval

    Surrey 415 v Durham 262 & 68-5

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    Durham could be heading for an innings defeat on day three at The Oval. I had a feeling before the day began that things would not go well. Sadly it has played out that way.

    The first three batsmen got ducks, albeit two of them were night watchmen. But the other was Ben McKinney, who normally opens. He was one of three victims to fall to Dan Worrall in his first two overs.

    Meanwhile, Alex Lees was bowled by Jordan Clark for four, at the end of the 10th over to leave Durham reeling on 18-4.

    David Bedingham and debutant Emilio Gay then added 40 for the fifth wicket, but Bedingham fell to a snorter from Sam Curran when on 23. It was at the end of the bowler's first over. It pitched on a length and took off. Bedingham couldn't get out of the way and gloved it behind.

  10. champagne moment

    600 up for Harris

    Glam 239 v Yorks 361 & 157-5

    Take a bow James Harris.

    The fourth wicket in this second innings has brought up a major milestone for the 34-year-old and fitting he has hit 600 with Glamorgan.

    After starting out here in 2007, making his debut as a 17-year-old, he spent five seasons in Cardiff before departing for greener pastures.

    Ten years later and a couple of loan spells he returned in 2022 and makes the 600 wicket mark with an average of just a fraction over 30.

  11. Lancs 140 & 335-7 v Somerset 146

    Yes, it is time for spin. Here's Archie Vaughan.

    Very different situation to last week but Somerset's need for wickets is equally acute.

    Can the teenager supply them?

  12. wicket

    WICKET: Trevaskis c Sales b Chahal 2

    Northants 383 v Leics 203 & 92-7

    A fourth wicket for Yuzvendra Chahal.

    Some turn into the left-handed Liam Trevaskis and an inside edge via the pad pops up for an easy catch to short leg.

  13. wicket

    WICKET: Bedingham c Foakes b SM Curran 23

    Surrey 415 v Durham 262 & 58-5

    Sam CurranRex Features

    Another big blow for Surrey as David Bedingham edges Sam Curran behind.

    It bounced on him a fraction just outside off and Bedingham couldn't get out of the way in time.

    Surrey on the march this morning.

  14. Lancs 140 & 334-7 v Somerset 146

    An hour's play gone at Old Trafford and Somerset have yet to take their first wicket of the day.

    Worth a go for Jack Leach or Archie Vaughan by way of giving the batters something different to think about?

    Luke Wells dabs Lewis Gregory square for a single and is 102 not out.

  15. wicket

    WICKET: Finch c Schadendorf b Lord 0

    Kent 225 & 134-6 v Notts 433

    The collapse continues with Dane Schadendorf taking another fine catch behind the stumps off the bowling of Rob Lord.

    Harry Finch follows five balls after his captain Daniel Bell Drummond to leave Kent staring down a potential 10 wicket session.

  16. 100 runs

    for Luke Wells

    Lancs 140 & 333-7 v Somerset 146

    Luke WellsRex Features

    Luke Wells receives a standing ovation from his team-mates as he runs Kasey Aldridge down to third man, takes three runs and reaches his second Championship hundred of the season off 196 balls.

    It is the 26th first-class century of his career and has included a six and 12 fours.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Gubbins c Jones b Leach 16

    Hampshire 462 & 48-3 v Worcs 273

    Joe Leach is on fire!

    It's an interesting dismissal, the kind you need to look at a few times to actually see what happened.

    Leach pitches it quite wide and Nick Gubbins edges as he attempts a cover drive but the ball then balloons up off Gareth Roderick's wicket-keeping gloves and Rob Jones steps in from slip to take the catch.

    The ball seemed to stay in the sky for an age!

    Leach has 3-15 from seven overs and has stopped Gubbins well short of repeating his 201 not out in the first innings.

  18. wicket

    WICKET: Cox lbw b Sanderson 8

    Northants 383 v Leics 203 & 85-6

    Northants have another as Ben Sanderson strikes!

    A big inswinger beats Ben Cox on the inside edge, he's struck on the bag leg and plumb lbw.

  19. 6 runs

    Lancs 140 & 325-7 v Somerset 146

    It was only a change of ends for Lewis Gregory.

    But he is fractionally short of length and Luke Wells pulls it over backward square for six.

    He is 97 not out - what an innings for his team.

  20. Derbys 173 & 98-7 v Middlesex 358

    Seventeen year old Harry Moore will face the hat-trick ball from Toby Roland-Jones.

    He lets it go by harmlessly past off stump. Roland-Jones needs one more for a second five-for and 50 wickets for the season.
