Sussex 442 & 234-4 v Leics 275

Louis Kimber sends down a long hop which Tom Alsop hammers over square leg for six to reach 50 off 102 balls.

It also takes Sussex's lead past 400 - and he and James Coles have added 60 so far for the fifth wicket.

How many more before the declaration?

Warwks 254 v Hants 298 & 231-5

James Vince is back and across to Dan Mousley, driving through cover for four and that takes him to a half century.

That's his third 50 of the season and this may prove to be vital for Hampshire's chances of setting a testing target.

64 balls with a couple of fours and two sixes.

Gareth Roderick is doing his best impression of the immovable object.

Sean Abbott is swinging the ball both ways, but Roderick is getting solidly in behind anything he feels he has to play at. He has four not out from 34 balls so far.

Jordan Clark has been doing a few exercises and he will bowl from the opposite end.

Kent 244 v Lancashire 538-8

Similar to Jack Blatherwick a little earlier, Tom Bailey is of a similar physique and he fairly biffs George Garrett straight down the ground for a big six.

A fun time to bat for any tail end biffer!

Sadly the stream from Trent Bridge is down so back to old fashioned methods of listening on just the BBC commentary, but Notts save costs and have the same commentators for their stream as the BBC so no change in voices telling the story, Mr Gibson and Bracegirdle still present.

Anyway Migael Pretorius and Jake Ball are still providing a nuisance, the tail wagging again much like Notts in the first innings.

The Saffa is 85* and the local lad back on home turf is 0*.

Despite a lead of 248, Durham are not asking Essex to bat for a second time.

Openers Alex Lees and Michael Jones are out in the middle, but one thing we know is that this batting line-up does not hang around.

A fine cut shot from Liam Dawson off Danny Briggs beats Jacob Bethell on the off side and races away square for four.

Briggs gets one to spit up and straighten on a length and Dawson jabs the ball down for a single.

Seven runs off the over.

No quarter being given at Scarborough.

Just 11 runs added since lunch, but from a Gloucestershire point a view, even more important is that no wickets have fallen.

Ollie Price is 27 not out and Cameron Bancroft has 25.

The threat of Migael Pretorius continues to loom large.

The field is spread for spinner Calvin Harrison but you'd have to field in the stands to catch that slog sweep, which lofts the ball high over mid wicket for six.

A full toss arrives two balls later and that ball is slammed down the ground for four, bringing up the Somerset 450 in the 118th over.

Two more fours! One swept square and one edged wide of the keeper to third man.

He's nicked the strike with a single off the last ball as well.

19 off the over.

Worcestershire's approach must surely be to try and wear down the Surrey pace attack - but that's far easier said than done.

Dan Worrall appeals for lbw against Gareth Roderick but the umpire is having none of that and they scamper through for a leg bye.

A positive sweep shot from George Balderson takes him into the forties with those four runs.

Lancashire's lead is 284 and there are 60 overs left in the day's play.

Kent do not look like bowling them out so the question will be at what stage this afternoon captain Keaton Jennings calls the batters in.

Craig Miles is getting good bounce and carry off this Edgbaston surface, but his fourth ball is full, wide and smashed through cover by Liam Dawson for four.

The lead has crept past 250.

Those Calvin Harrison figures are looking a little better now.

The Sussex lead continues to mount at Hove, where they are 205-4 following a James Coles boundary off Louis Kimber, a lead over Leicestershire of 372.

Sam Robson has steadied down a bit after lunch at Lord's where Middlesex are 72-1 in their second innings, 166 ahead of Derbyshire, with Robson 60 not out.

Northants are 17-0 after five over of their second innings against Glamorgan, 190 short of making the home side bat again.
