  2. Close of play at Lord'spublished at 19:11 British Summer Time 4 May

    Middlesex 238 & 81-3 (target 365) v Kent 129 & 473

    Luke Hollman steers the final ball of the day into the off side for a single off Joey Evison and this match looks set up for a fascinating finale tomorrow with Middlesex still requiring 284 runs to win with seven second-innings wickets remaining.

    Middlesex 79-3 (target 365) v Kent

    Luke Hollman hits his first boundary of the Middlesex second-innings, cutting cleanly for four.

    We are into the final over at Lord's on day three, which will be bowled by Kent's Joey Evison.

  4. 'Crawley takes a lovely catch'published at 19:02 British Summer Time 4 May

    Middlesex 74-3 (target 365) v Kent

    Henry Brookes pushes with it with hard hands and Zak Crawley takes a lovely catch at third slip, low down to his left, which he makes look very easy indeed - it wasn't.

    Brookes c Crawley b Evison 10 (Middlesex 74-3 v Kent, target 365)

    Well, keeping the strike doesn't look like a very good idea now!

    Kent's all-rounder Joey Evison strikes again, forcing Henry Brookes to push at one straight to Zak Crawley at slip and the England man gets down well to take a sharp low catch.

    Kent are absolutely delighted and Middlesex will be scratching their heads wondering how have they let that happen.

    Middlesex 70-2 (target 365) v Kent

    Night-watchman Henry Brookes sees out another over for Middlesex comfortably and in fact decides to take the strike with the final ball of it.

    We have three overs remaining on day three at Lord's.

  7. Postpublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 4 May

    Middlesex 64-2 (target 365) v Kent

    A big appeal from Kent all-rounder Joey Evison who thinks he has Henry Brookes LBW but replays showed the night-watchman got quite a thick inside edge.

  8. Close of play at Sophia Gardenspublished at 18:47 British Summer Time 4 May

    Glamorgan 431 & 132-5 (lead by 213 runs) v Derbys 350

    A decent day for both sides who can both draw plenty of positives from efforts with bat and ball.

    Derbys recovered from 162-7 to post 350 largely thanks to Luis Reece (70*) and Alex Thomson (60), the pair putting on 105.

    Glamorgan were in trouble at 15-3 in their second innings thanks to a great start from Derbyshire's seam attack, but Colin Ingram and Zain ul-Hassan put together a momentum shifting 109 partnership to keep all outcomes alive.

    A lead of 213 with five wickets in tact offers hope to all when they resume tomorrow with the hosts needing to kick on hard in the morning session of a day which looks guaranteed to be entertaining.

  9. 'The breakthrough Kent wanted'published at 18:43 British Summer Time 4 May

    Middlesex 62-2 (target 365) v Kent

    Guy Swindells
    BBC Radio London

    Max Holden can't believe it, his stumps have been rearranged. It's another good ball but that was just the breakthrough Kent wanted and the man that they wanted to get.

    It pegged back off-stump, lovely delivery, played down the wrong line, it wasn't great batting, went back when he should have gone forward which is why he is so cross with himself.

    He didn't take a proper stride and there's his stump, gone.

    It's a big, big, big wicket. Well done Joey Evison. Nicely batted for 38 but they needed him there for a bit longer than that.

    Holden b Evison 38 (Middlesex 62-2 v Kent, target 365)

    Big wicket for Kent just before the end of the day!

    Joey Evison gets the wicket of in-form Max Holden with an absolute beauty that gets past the batsman's defence and clips the top of off.

    Superb bowling from Evison.

    Night-watchman Henry Brookes walks into the middle for Middlesex.

  11. 'Hampshire will be satisfied with their day's work'published at 18:36 British Summer Time 4 May

    Hants 429-7 (trail by 82 runs) v Durham 511 - close

    Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    Another good day for batting. Hampshire were tested this morning after losing three wickets, they went to lunch at 216-4 and were still trailing by 295 and the second new ball bought a couple of wickets after lunch - Liam Dawson and Toby Albert but Ben Brown has played a captain's innings and will resume again in the morning.

    Hampshire are not totally out of the woods yet they still have work to do and if Durham do polish off Hampshire in the morning then they might have the option of setting a declaration if they want to.

    They trail by 82 currently but on the whole I think they'll be satisfied with their day's work.

    Durham did toil, they did work hard, there's no doubt about it. Matthew Potts did work hard and personified that a hard-earned three wickets to date.

  12. Postpublished at 18:34 British Summer Time 4 May

    Middlesex 61-1 v Kent (target 365)

    Middlesex have been set a target of 365 by Kent to take victory at Lord's in Division Two.

    The hosts are currently 61-1 after Sam Robson was bowled by George Garrett for nine.

    Currently at the crease are Stephen Eskinazi (13 not out) and Max Holden (37 not out).

  13. Close of play at Old Traffordpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 4 May

    Lancs 450 v Gloucestershire 589-8 (lead by 139 runs)

    Ollie Price has dominated day three for Gloucestershire and walks off unbeaten on 253 alongside Josh Shaw (21).

    A gargantuan innings from the 23-year-old all-rounder built in 405 balls with 30 fours and three sixes.

    The lead is 139 and on a pitch which has proved difficult for bowlers from both sides the draw is favourite but Glocs should be able to give themselves an unlikely shot at a victory at some stage tomorrow.

    Lancashire 450 v Gloucestershire 584-8

    On and on he goes at Old Trafford!

    Gloucestershire number three Ollie Price goes past 250. It's an innings that has contained 30 fours and three sixes.

    Incredible numbers. The lead is up to 134.

  15. LEICESTERSHIRE WIN BY 132 RUNSpublished at 18:19 British Summer Time 4 May
    Breaking

    Leics v Northants 156 all out (target 289)

    Spinner Rehan Ahmed is put into the attack by Peter Handscomb and his googly gets through the defence of Ben Sanderson, who put on an impressive 32, to take the final wicket and win the match for the Foxes.

    It's another comprehensive victory for the Division Two leaders who were helped earlier this afternoon in their quest thanks to some superb inswinging bowling by Josh Hull, who took the first three wickets of the the visitors' second-innings in quick succession.

    It's been a difficult start to the season for Northamptonshire on the other hand and they remain winless following their third defeat from four matches.

  16. Postpublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 4 May

    Leics v Northants 154-9 (target 289)

    You get the sense that Ben Sanderson is enjoying himself out there.

    The fast-medium bowler has moved on to 32 not out and one would bet that every single run of those has been in front of square.

    He has never hit a first-class half-century and may just be fancying his chances of doing so here.

  17. Close of play at Southamptonpublished at 18:15 British Summer Time 4 May

    Hants 429-7 (trail by 82 runs) v Durham 511

    Ben Brown has produced a superb unbeaten knock to extinguish hopes of a Durham victory and walks from the field on 143 alongside Kyle Abbott.

    The loss of Felix Organ close to the finish of the day was a minor inconvenience with the 25-year-old's 70 contributing to a stand of 161 with his captain.

    The draw will be confirmed at some stage tomorrow with recriminations about a pitch that has appeared indestructible to follow.

  18. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 18:10 British Summer Time 4 May

    Leics v Northants 150-9 (target 289)

    Ben Sanderson attempts a lofted drive for six but mistimes and the ball goes more or less straight to Josh Hull at mid wicket.

    However, the seamer completely misjudges the flight of the ball and can only get finger tips to it.

    That should really have been the match there.

    In the midst of that all, Northamptonshire move on to 150.

  19. Close of play at Tauntonpublished at 18:07 British Summer Time 4 May

    Somerset 145 & 216-6 v Essex 206 & 259

    Nearly a run out there to finish a brilliant session.

    It ends with four overthrows as Craig Overton tries to nick the strike in order to protect James Rew is sent back and the shy at the stumps evades two fielders and goes to the rope.

    That is the final over of the night and we will be back for another day.

    Somerset end the night with more than a mathematical chance of nicking this game and if they do it will be a thrilling run chase.

    Much of the credit for their overnight position goes to Lewis Gregory (57) and James Rew (65*), the former who dragged on, and the latter who walked off unbeaten.

    Essex's Simon Harmer has looked a huge threat all the way through and there will be a new ball to contend with in 12 overs time which could be significant in the hands of Jamie Porter and Sam Cook.

    But this match is poised for a great final day with Somerset needing 105 runs with four wickets still in hand.

  20. Postpublished at 18:04 British Summer Time 4 May

    Somerset 145 & 212-6 v Essex 206 & 259

    Sam Cook finishes his final over with a perfect away swinger... well perfect apart from the fact it was too good for Craig Overton to lay a bat on.

    The Somerset bruiser cocks his jaw in an appreciative nod towards a fellow toiler to acknowledge the skill but to remind him he is still there.
