Notts 0-0 - target 136
Notts opener Ben Slater will now take guard to Khurram Shahzad, who is bowling round the wicket.
Again we have width outside off and Slater leaves it.
Feels like defensive bowling but the Pears don't have many runs to defend in all fairness.
Khurram is a bit straighter and Slater defends.
Slater tries to whip the ball away leg side but is stopped by Kashif Ali.
Another maiden over.
'Singh Dale desrved that wicket'published at 13:33 British Summer Time 10 September
Leics 327-7 v Glos 482
Ed Seabourne
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt's a good job they put that third slip in place.
You'd have to say that Ajeet Singh Dale really does deserve that. He's at last got the payoff for some hard work steaming in as ever.

Essex 394-6 v Durham 333
Matt Potts and Sam Conners are sticking to the task very well after 116 overs in the dirt.
A couple of deliveries from Conners tray onto the pads allowing Noah Thain (20*) and Simon Harmer (16*) singles into the leg side.
Durham have seemingly staved off the threat of the hosts building a lead well north of 200, which looked very possible this morning, and with the prospect of Simon Harmer twirling away on a last day track, possibly the prospect of a costly defeat too.

Notts 0-0 - target 136
A bit of width and Notts captain Haseeb Hameed leaves Tom Taylor outside off stump.
It's grey, chilly and there's a near constant threat of rain.
Will he try and get after the bowling? Not yet.
Maiden over.

Eskinazi c Hammond b Singh Dale 34 (Leics 327-7 v Glos 482)
Reward for the energetic Ajeet Singh Dale as Stevie Eskinazi fences outside off stump and edges a low catch to third slip.
Two wickets in successive overs for Gloucestershire and Leicestershire still trail by 155.
Rain, though, is on the way, we are told.
The chase is on at New Roadpublished at 13:28 British Summer Time 10 September
Notts 0-0 - target 136
Well, this will give leaders Surrey something to think about while they wait for the rain to shift from the Oval.
Second-placed Notts are ready to chase.
Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater are ready.
Tom Taylor to bowl to Hameed.
PLAY TO RESUME AT 1:50published at 13:27 British Summer Time 10 September
Glamorgan 467 v Northants 309-5
Better news at Wantage Road. It looks quite pleasant there now.
WICKETpublished at 13:26 British Summer Time 10 September
Cox lbw M Taylor 2 (Leics 327-6 v Glos 482)
Fourth wicket for Matt Taylor as he pins Ben Cox lbw with one that doesn't get up as high as the batter expected.
That breakthrough with the new ball earns Gloucestershire a second bonus point and brings Logan van Beek to the crease.
Still raining at Hovepublished at 13:26 British Summer Time 10 September
Sussex 37-1 - target 278
No news of a pitch inspection. The weather isn't good enough.
Very damp and cloudy.
It feels akin to the damage report machine being damaged.

Essex 390-6 v Durham 333
Two boundaries for Noah Thain off Sam Conners and Matt Potts and now one for Simon Harmer off Conners and all of a sudden Essex lead by 57.
Just a tad late for a crack at a bonus point, to Essex's frustration.
Five-wicket haul for Lyndon James at New Roadpublished at 13:20 British Summer Time 10 September

PEARS ALL OUT FOR 160 - NOTTS NEED 136published at 13:19 British Summer Time 10 September
Worcs 182 & 160 v Notts 207
Lyndon James continues his long spell from the New Road End.
Gareth Roderick is looking to farm the strike and he blocks into the off side.
Three dot balls. He pushes a single to mid on.
Khurram Shahzad has two to face.
Out! Lyndon James beats a loose defensive prod and strikes middle and off.
Full, straight and just a bit too good. Roderick stranded on 37 not out.
Notts will be chasing 136.

Kent 293 & 131-2 v Lancashire 284
If there's no further rain, which there might well be, judging by the radar.
Kent lead by 140 with eight wickets standing.
'Quality bowling from Tongue'published at 13:18 British Summer Time 10 September
Worcs 182 & 159-9 v Notts 207
Jim Dale
BBC Hereford and WorcesterIt was good quality fast bowling from Josh Tongue. Regulation nick, regulation catch.
Ben Allison actually played a couple of looking shots but here you felt the edge of his bat was always in play.

Leics 320-5 v Glos 482
After a lengthy delay because something behind the bowler's arm is distracting Stevie Eskinazi, Matt Taylor beats him with an absolute corker to end the over, leaving the right-hander off the pitch.

Essex 377-6 v Durham 333
Sam Conners is on the money to start the afternoon session but is a touch loose at the end, allowing Noah Thain to swivel and pull to the deep square leg boundary for four runs to move into double figures.
The Essex lead is 44.

Worcs 182 & 159-9 v Notts 207
Khurram Shahzad is reputedly a "specialist" number 11.
He pushes the last ball safely down to mid on and the spotlight shifts to Gareth Roderick. What will he do now?
The lead is 134.

Middx 298 v Derbys 283 & 30-1
The umpires will inspect at 1:20pm at the home of cricket.
Two brief passages of play so far, during which Derbyshire lost Caleb Jewell for nine, bowled by Ryan Higgins.
They lead by 15.
WICKETpublished at 13:13 British Summer Time 10 September
Allison c Patterson-White b Tongue 14 (Worcs 182 & 159-9 v Notts 207)
Good pace and rhythm again from Josh Tongue.
Ben Allison is right behind the line of the ball, defending to mid on.
Close! Extra pace and bounce. Allison is back in the crease to defend and he's edged it past a diving Freddie McCann at second slip for four.
Out this time.
Fuller, inviting the edged drive to Liam Patterson-White at first slip.
Notts are nearly there. Khurram Shahzad is last in for the Pears.
