    WICKET

    McCann c Ali b Waite 28 (Notts 50-2 - target 136 to beat Worcs)

    Now the focus switches to Freddie McCann, facing Matthew Waite.

    Play and a miss to the keeper. A fielder has come up close to the drive on the off side.

    It's been a bit of a struggle with the bat so far this morning but there's runs here as there's a bit more bounce and width for McCann to stroke the ball through to deep third for four.

    The Notts 50 comes up in 18.5 overs...

    Short...hooked...out!

    McCann has holed out to Kashif Ali at deep mid wicket.

    The Pears strike early and Joe Clarke is in the middle.

    WICKET

    Lawrence c Hain b Booth 43 - Surrey 246 & 306-4 v Warwickshire 248

    Dan Lawrence goes for the boundary once again, but is caught just inside the rope at cow corner by Sam Hain.

    He departs for 43 and Jordan Clark, who can give it a biff, is the fresh batter, alongside Ryan Patel, who has two singles from two balls.

    Interesting development.

    The lead is 304 but two dangerous batters are back in the hutch.

  4. 'Smart catch from Mousley'

    Surrey 246 & 302-3 v Warwickshire 248

    Clive Eakin
    BBC CWR Sport

    It was a smart catch from Dan Mousley and a bonus wicket for Nathan Gilchrist who is loan ahead ahead of his permanent move next season.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Bean c J Rew b Gregory 10 (Somerset 441-6 dec v Yorks 32-1)

    Early breakthrough for Somerset and that is an absolute beauty from Lewis Gregory, which has Finlay Bean caught behind.

    India's Mayant Agarwal comes out to play his first innings for Yorkshire.

  6. Leics 342 v Glos 482 & 33-0

    Logan van Beek tries Ben Charlesworth out with a short one and the tall left-hander pulls it away with some comfort through square leg for four runs. He moves to 33 not out.

  7. 50 runs

    for Ben Foakes and his WICKET

    Foakes c Mousley b Gilchrist 52 - Surrey 246 & 302-3 v Warwickshire 248

    Nathan Gilchrist will operate at the other end from Michael Booth to start this morning but his first ball is dispatched for another four by Dan Lawrence who has a run-a-ball 43*.

    Ben Foakes then pulls the fourth delivery for four through deep square to bring up his half-century from 74 balls with eight fours, but he's gone next ball, caught in the deep trying a very similar shot, with Dan Mousley taking a fine diving catch.

    The lead is 300 as Ryan Patel joins Dan Lawrence.

  8. Notts 46-1 - target 136 to beat Worcs

    Khurram Shahzad to bowl to Ben Slater.

    The ground is bathed in sunshine.

    Slater is back and across to defend from the crease.

    He tries to whip a ball leg side but is stopped at square leg.

    Shahzad is almost through Slater with the fourth ball as the opener miscues a drive and squeezes the ball into his foot. Ouch.

    Maiden over.

  9. 'The weather at the moment is fine'

    Notts 46-1 - target 136 to beat Worcs

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    The most important thing as as far as Notts are concerned is that the weather at the moment is fine. It's bright, it's dry and we're told the first showers across in the area are between 12:00 BST and 13:00 BST.

    It's not easy for anybody out there to score freely, fluently, quickly but Nottinghamshire have the incentive of getting over the line and getting the job done.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Reece lbw Higgins 22 (Middx 298 v Derbys 283 & 39-2)

    Luis Reece is beaten by one which jags in off the seam and is adjudged leg-before as the ball strikes his rear pad.

    Not much doubt about that one.

  11. Hampshire sign Sundar for last two games

    Washington SundarGetty Images

    Hampshire have signed India all-rounder Washington Sundar for their final two County Championship matches against Somerset and Surrey.

    Sundar last played English domestic cricket in 2022 for Lancashire in the County Championship and One Day Cup.

    Read the full story here.

  12. Essex 457-8dec v Durham 333 & 10-0

    Doug Bracewell sends down four probing dot balls, then thumps the pads of Emilio Gay, outside the line, but is loose from the final ball, short and into the left-hander's hip, allowing him to turn to the deep square leg boundary with ease for four runs.

  13. Notts 46-1 - target 136 to beat Worcs

    Matthew Waite to continue from the Diglis End.

    Freddie McCann looking to get on with it.

    He drives at the ball through the off side without piercing the field.

    Two slips in and two in the deep on the leg side.

    Edged! But well in front of second slip as he miscues a prod.

    Runs off the fourth ball as McCann pulls a short ball for two, then misses an attempted hook off the fifth ball.

  14. 6 runs

    for Dan Lawrence

    Surrey 246 & 293-2 v Warwickshire 248

    Michael Booth takes the first full over of the day and his third ball is crunched over a wide mid-on for a maximum by Dan Lawrence.

    Three more singles and a leg bye make it 10 off the over.

    Surrey lead by 291.

  15. Leics 342 v Glos 482 & 19-0

    Are Gloucestershire looking for a declaration in this game?

    Not a bad ball at all from Logan van Beek but Ben Charlesworth mows it through mid-wicket for four.

    The lead is 160.

  16. Essex 457-8dec v Durham 333 & 0-0

    All action opening over with three runs apiece for Alex Lees and Emilio Gay, though Jamie Porter was finding some movement, beat the bat of Lees on one occasion and found the edge which allowed the skipper to run three down to fine leg when he wanted the ball into the offside.

    Doug Bracewell takes the new ball at the other end with Shane Snater unable to bowl after an injury on the first evening.

  17. Notts 44-1 - target 136 to beat Worcs

    Runs for Freddie McCann, driving with the toe end of the bat into the backward point for a single.

    A bit of a miss in the field by Jake Libby.

    Four runs in the over in total.

  18. Surrey 246 & 283-2 v Warwickshire 248

    Ben Foakes whips Ed Barnard's second ball of the morning through mid-wicket for a boundary - a sign of intent.

    A couple more singles take him to 47* with one for Dan Lawrence taking him to 30*.

    Seven an over is what Surrey will be after.

    The lead is 281.

  19. Play resumes at Northampton

    Northants 413-9 dec v Glamorgan 467 & 0-0

    Decent recovery from 309-5 when the hosts were still 158 adrift.

    How to play this now? The innings lead is 54.

    Zain ul Hassan and the much heralded Asa Tribe will open the innings.

    Left arm pace bowler Liam Guthrie to bowl to Ul Hassan.

  20. Somerset 44-6 dec v Yorks 22-0

    Josh Davey is the seamer of choice for the first over at Taunton.

    He starts with a no-ball!

    That apart just a couple of runs from it.
