    Ben Cox and Scott Currie leave the fieldImage source, Rex Features

    Leicestershire have still only lost one wicket on day three against Gloucestershire when Rishi Patel went for 117.

    Scott Currie (67 not out) and Ben Cox (48 not out) have taken the Foxes to 325-6 and given them a decent chance of saving the game.

    Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne has gone past fifty for Glamorgan in their second innings against Middlesex. The opener is 64 not out in Glamorgan's 126-3 and they trail by just 34 now.

    Northants earned a first-innings lead of 60 over Derbyshire after bowling them out for 362. Ben Sanderson finished with five wickets.

  2. Postpublished at 16:03 19 May

    Surrey v Worcs 107-8 (target 513)

    Ben Gibbon is nicely forward to Dan Worrall, punching the ball through mid off for two.

    Four slips and a leg slip.

    Gibbon drives to mid on for no run to see out the over.

  3. Tea at Blackpool - Lancashire declarepublished at 15:58 19 May

    Lancashire 357 & 353-9 dec v Durham 236

    Matty Hurst holes out to Scott Borthwick, who takes a fine catch behind square to dismiss him for 30 - and that prompts Lancashire to declare as the teams head in for tea.

    Durham will need 475 to win with four sessions left in this enthralling match.

  4. WICKET Compton LBW b Renshaw 65published at 15:56 19 May

    Somerset 554 v Kent 178 & 194-1 f/o

    Breakthrough!

    I wonder who predicted it would come from Matt Renshaw?

    Full, drifting in and striking the knee roll in front of middle and leg.

    Ben Compton departs for a well made half century and now Daniel Bell-Drummond will bat.

    Another bowling change with Andy Umeed joining the attack at the other end.

  5. WICKET Leach c Foakes b Roach 6published at 15:56 19 May

    Surrey v Worcs 102-8 (target 513)

    A fine shot from Nathan Smith to a leg side ball from Dan Worrall flicks the ball in front of square leg for four, bringing the Pears to 100 in the 40th over.

    One over later Joe Leach is out.

    Fifth catch of the innings for keeper Ben Foakes.

    Kemar Roach strikes, drawing Leach forward and inducing a thin edge off an attempted drive.

    Good, low catch taken by Foakes.

    Ben Gibbon is in next.

  6. 'Game full of twists and turns'published at 15:55 19 May

    Sussex v Yorkshire 140-6 (target 183) - tea, day three

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex

    Yorkshire are inching towards their first win of the season needing 43 to win after tea with four wickets in hand

    Adam Lyth is steering the side to victory his 63 not out coming from 130 balls.

    However this game has been full of twists and turns so a nail biting finish could still be on the cards

  7. Tea at Hovepublished at 15:55 19 May

    Sussex v Yorkshire 140-6 (target 183)

    One way or another, this game is finishing today.

    Adam Lyth goes to tea on 63. Can he help his side find the other 43 runs they need for victory?

    Are Yorkshire slight favourites?

  8. Postpublished at 15:53 19 May

    Somerset 554 v Kent 178 & 194-0 f/o

    Another bowling chance as the occasional off spin of Matt Renshaw is deployed.

    His first ball is wide and back of a length to Zak Crawley, who has plenty of time to go back and across to slap the ball through cover for four runs.

    Tom Lammonby is gun barrel straight at the other end, conceding just a couple of runs off his fifth over.

  9. Tea at Chelmsfordpublished at 15:53 19 May

    Essex 123-4 (target 330) v Warwickshire

    Matt Critchley, yet to get off the mark at that stage, survived a couple of close calls against Ed Barnard as Essex battle through to the interval at four down.

    Critchley squirted one towards silly mid-on, who claimed the catch but was overruled by the umpire and the batter was then saved by an inside edge onto his pads later in the over.

    Critchley has one to his name, while partner Jordan Cox has scored 30. Essex need another 207 to win this, Warwickshire need six more wickets.

  10. Postpublished at 15:49 19 May

    Surrey v Worcs 96-7 (target 513)

    Change of bowling. Kemar Roach is back in the attack.

    The leg slip is back in play - which has already yeilded a wicket in this innings.

    Joe Leach gets a couple to backward square leg.

    Good line outside off as the West Indies bowler has Leach playing and missing.

  11. Postpublished at 15:45 19 May

    Somerset 554 v Kent 178 & 187-0 f/o

    Migael Pretorius bowls a quick bumper and Zak Crawley stays in the crease, swatting the ball through mid wicket for four.

    Amazing shot. Crawley barely moved.

    Quick but not short enough to threaten.

    Another no ball from Tom Lammonby at the other end and Ben Comton sees out the over, leaving a bit of width outside off stump.

    Kent are nearly halfway through the deficit with all 10 wickets in hand.

  12. Yorkshire need 47published at 15:45 19 May

    Sussex v Yorkshire 136-6 (target 183)

    Matthew Revis takes three off Sussex spinner Jack Carson and the target is below 50.

    This is going right to the wire.

  13. NOTTS ALL OUT FOR 209, HAMPSHIRE NEED 169 TO WINpublished at 15:44 19 May

    Notts 235 & 209 v Hants 276

    Nottinghamshire's last five wickets go down for just 40 and Calvin Harrison is the last man to go, dancing down the pitch to Felix Organ and misjudging it as Ben Brown takes off the bails.

    Organ finishes with figures of 3-38, while Kyle Abbott takes 3-41 and that means Hampshire will begin their second innings after tea, chasing 169 for their first win of the season.

  14. Postpublished at 15:42 19 May

    Surrey v Worcs 90-7 (target 513)

    A lovely flick to square leg brings Nathan Smith four runs off the bowling of Sean Abbott.

    Four more off the third ball, pushed through cover off the back foot.

    A single off the fourth ball and Joe Leach survives a shout for caught behind.

    Joe Leach appeared to be walking, but the umpire says not out.

  15. 'Kent needed a big score from Crawley'published at 15:42 19 May

    Somerset 554 v Kent 178 & 185-0 f/o

    Ian Randall
    BBC Radio Kent

    This is Zak Crawley's first 100 of the season and his team desperately needed a big score from him today and he's started the job of trying to save the match for Kent.

  16. Five-wicket haul for Ben Stokespublished at 15:37 19 May

    Lancashire 357 & 325-8 v Durham 236

    There's a fifth wicket for Ben Stokes as Tom Aspinwall hooks a short ball down the throat of deep midwicket.

    Stokes has figures of 5-84, but Lancashire are 446 ahead now.

  17. 100 for Zak Crawleypublished at 15:35 19 May

    Somerset 554 v Kent 178 & 178-0 f/o

    Tom Lammonby bowls to Zak Crawley...

    A very short and wide ball is clubbed into the off side for a single.

    Is that his hundred?

    Possibly not as the ball did not land on the cut strip.

    No! It's a dead ball so no run.

    He pushes repeatedly into the off side for the single but still no run.

    Got it this time! Short and pulled square for four!

    That's his first century of the season!

    136 balls with 18 of the sweetest fours you'll ever see.

  18. Captain's innings comes to an endpublished at 15:34 19 May

    Lancs 357 & 323-7 v Durham 236

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    Keaton Jennings' excellent innings has finally come to an end. Having made 115 in the first innings in Blackpool, his second innings was worth 155.

    He's the first Lancashire player to get a hundred in each innings on this ground and has made sure his team are in complete control of the game against his former side.

    Their lead already looks an impossible one to reach, yet they bat on in the sunshine.

    It was the England skipper Ben Stokes who eventually got him. Jennings tried to drive him towards the boundary but was caught by the diving Scott Borthwick at long-off. He'd earlier edged Stokes to the slips on 75, but it was a no-ball.

    As Jennings headed off to a standing ovation it was Stokes who was first to greet him as well, with a congratulatory pat on the back for a job well done.

  19. WICKET: Elgar lbw b Barnard 60published at 15:33 19 May

    Essex 112-4 (target 330) v Warwickshire

    That's a huge wicket for Warwickshire!

    Ed Barnard was the Bears' hero with the bat in the first innings and he's come on now to make an immediate impact with the ball, pinning Dean Elgar leg before.

    Elgar looked to be the key for Essex and, with him gone, the door might be opening a little wider for the visitors.

    Matt Critchley comes out to join Jordan Cox, who has 20.

  20. Postpublished at 15:29 19 May

    Somerset 554 v Kent 178 & 172-0 f/o

    A mixed over from Tom Lammonby, including two no balls and a single each off the bats of Zak Crawley and Ben Compton.

    Migael Pretorius begins his next over with a no ball.

    Crawley tries to pull the short ball away but doesn't clear the field.

    He gets hold of the fourth ball though, back and across to tap it away to long off for four.

    He drives off the back foot again but only has time for one run as the ball is picked up at long off. He's on 99.
