So far, so good, in Somerset's quest to deny Surrey the win.

After a rain delay of just over an hour, lopping 18 overs off the day's allocation, Lewis Gregory and Kasey Aldridge have taken what is rapidly becoming their crucial partnership on from 42 to 90 runs, with few alarms along the way.

The new ball was taken just before lunch by Kemar Roach and Jordan Clarke, but this pitch remains as placid as ever.

A fascinating little period of play coming up now as experienced Hampshire duo James Vince and Nick Gubbins look to stave off the threat of Nathan Lyon and Will Williams.

We know all about Lyon's qualities, but Williams was hugely impressive with the new ball on Sunday evening, removing both Hampshire openers.

Wicketkeeper Matty Hurst is standing up to the stumps to Williams, to give the two batters that little bit extra to think about.

Umpires Rob White and Tom Lungley have decided - after an early lunch - to abandon the match as a draw, following a heavy storm this morning which saturated the outfield coupled with strong winds to make the groundstaff's job nearly impossible.

It was disappointing for Leus Du Plooy - left unbeaten on 196 - and scuppered Middlesex's hopes of putting some final-day pressure on hosts Northamptonshire who nearly came unstuck in similar circumstances at Hove last week.

Middlesex take 12 points to Northamptonshire's 11.

A good morning for Somerset fans.

If they've had lost their skipper and talisman Lewis Gregory on the stroke of lunch to the new ball, the game would probably be heavenly weighted towards Surrey.

As it is, I think this is now in the balance, completely.

A good session for Durham, they've scored 107 runs for the loss of just one wicket.

They are not safe just yet but they have taken a big step towards it.

Hampshire and Lancashire have started on day four following a delay of just over two hours.

Kyle Abbott and Nick Gubbins have added three runs from Nathan Lyon's first over.

A wicketless session for Yorkshire and a marvellous one for Gloucestershire.

Ollie Price (75 not out) and James Bracey (38 not out) have looked in great nick.

Still plenty of work to do for the hosts after lunch, mind.

Edge, a genuine one too, but it has died just short of Dom Sibley at first slip.

Soft hands from Lewis Gregory saves him there, then Kemar Roach responds with a ridiculously wide legside delivery that of course is not given in red ball cricket, but Ben Foakes does superbly to keep from being four very harsh byes.

Big lbw appeal from the penultimate ball, clearly going down the leg side though, Gregory earns one leg bye for his side.

Somerset can enjoy their lunch - a successful first hour of today from their two batters.

With the outfield at Grace Road saturated by heavy overnight rain and showers still rattling in, they've called it off.

It'll be a match remembered for Sussex's extraordinary lower-order batting where they recovered from 282-6 to post 694-9.

Also a game to remember for Sussex skipper John Simpson who hit a maiden double-century.

Leicestershire take 12 points, Sussex claim 14 in their quest for promotion from Division Two.

David Bedingham and Matty Potts helped themselves to a few boundaries in the short spell between Colin Ackermann's dismissal and the lunch interval at Edgbaston.

It has been very much Durham's morning session as they bid to bat out the rest of the day and save the game.

Nightwatchman Potts reaches lunch on 66 not out and Durham trail by 62 as the players head off for a sandwich and a brew.

Ollie Price is looking in fine touch.

Matt Fisher drops a couple of balls short and Price pulls him sweetly to the rope both times.

He's up to 74. Yorkshire seem a bit short of ideas at the moment.

Three singles, and only one aborted run up from Jordan Clark so they will get another Kemar Roach set of six in before lunch.

Yesterday was my favourite - lasagne, and most of yesterday's press members sadly have not bothered today, so my stomach is rumbling in anticipation at today's potentially extra large offering.

Luis Reece and Brooke Guest have settled things down for Derbyshire in Cardiff after those couple of early wickets.

Both batters are into the 30s. Do the visitors still have a chance of victory if they bat long?

282 more runs needed, 68 overs left in the day.

Two slips for the Barbadian Kemar Roach, who fellow countryman Roland Butcher admitted 'was not bowling with the pace he used to' earlier in this match.

No major concern for either batter yet, four leg byes add to a single off the 80th.

It is Jordan Clark to share the new ball.

Surrey 428 v Somerset 285 & 243-6

100 lead for Somerset now.

Just one run off Dan Lawrence's over (his last for a while?)

Kemar Roach is warming up, still in his long-sleeved, cable-knit sweater.

Jordan Clark out-bowled him in the first dig though, plenty of options for Mr Burns here.

It seems they will share it in the 10 minutes remaining before lunch, maybe they could squeeze three overs in?

Time for a bit of pace.

Matthew Fisher replaces Dan Moriarty... Yorkshire desperate for a breakthrough before lunch.

That Colin Ackermann wicket will put the Warwickshire players in a very good mood.

Dual spin as both Somerset batters now sit on 39*.

One over until the new kooka is available, will Dan Lawrence take it again?!
