Luxton c Lawrence b Jacks 10 (Yorks 517-6d & 83-4 v Surrey 577)
Hmm. Another wicket to spin and Surrey just keep things alive.
Will Luxton caught at slip and the lead 67.
WICKETpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 25 July
Guthrie c Cracknell b Higgins 8 (Middlesex 625-8 dec v Northants 261 & 210-9)
Oooh caught behind and suddenly Middlesex only need to find one more wicket.
32 overs is a lot for Northants' Rob Keogh and number 11 batter Yuzvendra Chahal to survive.

Barnard c sub b Taylor 16 (Warks 312-5 v Worcs (target 393)
Ooh, hang on a minute...
Ed Barnard has just crunched Tom Taylor to the mid wicket fence for four.
The next ball lifts a little outside off stump and Barnard edges behind.
The home side require a further 81 runs.
WICKETpublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 25 July
Sanderson c Higgins b Geddes 12 (Middlesex 625-8 dec v Northants 261 & 206-8)
A simple catch for Ryan Higgins at slip off Ben Geddes' bowling and Ben Sanderson departs.
He scored 12 from 62 balls but this has not been about scoring runs for Northants for a long time, they just need to stay in.
We're reaching crunch time in this one now - 32 overs left and two wickets remaining.
Gloucestershire all outpublished at 16:27 British Summer Time 25 July
de Lange c Jennings b Hartley 12 (Glos 381 & 285 f/o v Lancs 577)
Lancashire are through!
Marchant de Lange the last man out but a rare dismissal to a defensive stroke.
Some turn from Tom Hartley takes inside edge and pad and presents a catch to the left hand of Keaton Jennings at short leg.
It leaves Lancashire 26 overs to chase 110.
11 wickets in the match for Tom Hartley - plus a first-innings century.
'He might get a wicket?'published at 16:25 British Summer Time 25 July
Hants 454 v Notts 578-8d & 61-1
Amelia Clark
BBC Radio Solent commentatorThis was the point when I used to play at school and they would say, 'if you're the wicketkeeper you are not allowed to bowl'.
Then you get to a position in the game when they say you can bowl, to have a bit of practice - it feels like that.
You never know he might get a wicket?
300 up for Warwickshirepublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 25 July
Warks 300-4 v Worcs (target 393)
A single is nudged to bring up the home side's 300.
The required run rate is just over three so there's no need to hurry.

The Hampshire captain and wicketkeeper(!) Ben Brown is coming on for a bowl.
If I could leave I would...
'Malik has set up a winning chance'published at 16:19 British Summer Time 25 July
Warks 286-4 (target 393) v Worcs
Mike Taylor
BBC WM commentatorZen Malik has set up a winning chance for Warwickshire and has played with a great deal of patience and control all day.
With 107 runs or six wickets to win, it is all to play for!
WICKETpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 25 July
Malik c Taylor b Brookes 142 (Warks 286-4 - target 393 v Worcs)
Worcestershire finally break through!
Zen Malik has made a superb career-best 142 but won't be seeing his side home.
He looks to loft Ethan Brookes over midwicket but doesn't get the contact and is well held by Tom Taylor running back towards the Hollies Stand.
Still 107 to win.

Hants 454 v Notts 578-8d & 61-1
A 50 stand between Haseeb Hameed (20*) and Freddie McCann (35*).
A cheeky little not out here would be nice for their averages.
WICKETpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 25 July
Wharton c Lawrence b Kishore 25 (Yorks 517-6d & 66-3 v Surrey 537)
A wicket for Surrey and they may still think they can make this final session interesting with Yorkshire leading by 51.
James Wharton goes to flick to leg and gets an inside edge via pad that is held in the gully by Dan Lawrence diving forward.
50 up for Nottinghamshirepublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 25 July
Hants 454 v Notts 574-8d & 51-1
It's fair to say this latest landmark isn't met with a raucous reception.
The Notts 50 is up.
They lead by 175 runs.
WICKETpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 25 July
Murphy b Hartley 33 (Glos 381 & 272-9 v Lancs 577)
Tea has done the trick for Lancashire!
Todd Murphy had shown better resistance than some today but he becomes Tom Hartley's 10th wicket of the game - he's having the match of his life.
Floated up into the footholds, Murphy's forward defence is beaten by some turn.
The injured Marchant de Lange, who only played one way, is the last man and the lead is 96.
'Leicestershire have finally got across the line'published at 16:06 British Summer Time 25 July
Derbys 189 & 256 v Leics 398 & 236-9d
Richard Rae
BBC Radio Leicester SportLeicestershire have finally broken this most stubborn of last wicket partnerships by Derbyshire.
They have finally got across the line and have won by 189 runs, they extend their lead at the top the Second Division.
If you can get half way you can get the rest of the way and there was air of weariness from the Leicester players but they managed to the job.

Hampshire and Nottinghamshire head out for the final knockings of this one.
We should have one hour of play before they shake hands and go their separate ways.
'Malik making a significant impression'published at 16:00 British Summer Time 25 July
Tea: Warks 267-3 - target 393 v Worcs
Mike Taylor
BBC WM commentatorZen Malik’s chance in the County Championship came late. At 27, he is playing his first full season at this level, leaving him less time than many others to make a significant impression. With this innings he has settled beyond doubt that he belongs here.
It also added to the mounting evidence of the value of the work of the South Asian Cricket Academy, which has brought a series of players through to the professional game who might otherwise have been lost to it.
Whether this is a match winning hundred is still to be decided, but today Malik has demonstrated both his technical class, and also that his temperament is well-suited to the task.
He has been unhurried throughout, lifting the tempo only as he moved towards three figures, raising his second Championship hundred by lifting Ben Allison over long-on for six. Beau Webster, who sold his wicket cheaply in the first innings after a good start, has been content to operate in his slipstream in a partnership that is so far worth 142.
Worcestershire appeared powerless to stop the flow. Their remaining trump card is the second new ball, which will be available seven overs into the final session – but unless it makes an immediate impact, their will be no chance of the win that seemed the most likely outcome for most of the last two days.
Warwickshire have had probably their worst session of the season, and now their best session of the season, within the same game. The remaining session of this match may be go a long way towards settling the eventual fate of both teams in this year’s Championship.
