Sussex 48-1 - target 278 to beat Hants
A cosy 30 minutes of play there which saw 11 runs and two tough chances missed to dismiss Sean Hunt.
One was a very low chance nicked to the Hapmshire keeper.
The other was a very sharp chance off a flowing bat that scythed the ball between first and second slip.
Hopefully that is not the end.
We will keep an eye on it.
Essex 457-8dec v Durham 333 & 121-7
Ben Raine and Matt Potts have added 25 for this eighth wicket, and it's just what Durham needed.
Raine has 15*, two more than Potts and the deficit is down to three.
Baby steps, but steps in the right direction.
Leics 45-1 - target 316
No, the rain isn't in the mood to pass quickly through.
We have a third break in the action at Grace Road.
Rishi Patel is 15 not out and Ian Holland has 14.
You imagine Leicestershire would be content to settle for a draw and then wait for news from Lord's.
Jennings c Finch b Quinn 4 - Lancs 17-1 - target 303
Now then.
Matt Quinn produces a pearler to Keaton Jennings who pushes at it and feathers an edge to Harry Finch behind the stumps.
A breakthrough for Kent and Lancashire's early momentum has stalled.
Josh Bohannon joins Luke Wells in the middle.
Sussex 48-1 - target 278 to beat Hants
It is spitting with rain but the umpires are trying to play on.
There is in fact better weather to come according to the forecast so maybe it is just a question of getting through this gloomy wave, so to speak.
Ah. Raining harder now. We're going off.
Maybe a short "power" shower. It is raining hard now.
43.4 overs left though that may be revised depending on when we can get back out on to the field.
The floodlights are coming on. It is gloomy out there,
Welcome to autumnal cricket.
Essex 457-8dec v Durham 333 & 117-7
A couple for Ben Raine off the bowling of spinner Matt Critchley reduced the arrears to seven.
The sun is out and they have successfully dodged some showers at Chelmsford so far, but Essex need to finish the job on the pitch while they can.
Somerset 441-6 dec v Yorkshire 60-6
Most of the square is now uncovered at the County Ground.
Tea will be taken at 2.40pm with a view to restarting the game at 3.00.
Somerset need 14 wickets to win, Yorkshire need another 190 runs for a batting bonus point - which of them is more likely? Perhaps neither.
Surrey 246 & 391-8 dec v Warwickshire 248 & 60-1

Probably about halfway through the season people were already eyeing up that Surrey v Nottinghamshire game. It's funny because that's the only time that they play each other this season.
Well done to Nottinghamshire because those are the sort of games that could have gone wrong for them but they've shown a lot of guts and character to get through that against Worcestershire.
Sussex 47-1 - target 278 to beat Hants
Clouds are gathering over Hove but it is not raining. Now.
In theory we have 45 overs left today.
Sean Hunt tries to force Keith Barker through the off side on the back foot but he's missed it.
An attempted flick to leg is also missed but Hunt survives an LBW shout.
That ball swung late.
A shorter ball is tucked off the hip for one.
Warwickshire 60-1 - target 390
It's been coming.
The light is the initial reason, though the rain starts to fall as the players head off.
Not necessarily terminal for the day, but it does the chances of a positive result for either side even more slim.
Lancs 16-0 - target 303
Lancashire are going to have a crack at this, I can sense it.
Eight byes in the opening two overs, plus eight runs off the bat of Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings have given the Red Rose a flying start.
49 overs to fine 287 runs.
Middx 298 v Derbys 283 & 153-4
Three balls into spinner Luke Hollman's opening over of the innings and they are off for rain at the home of cricket.
Brooke Guest is 65 not out, Martin Andersson has 31 and these two have added 66 since the dismissal of Harry Came.
Derbyshire's lead is 138.
Sussex 46-1 - target 278 to beat Hants
Tom Haines drives Keith Barker but cannot clear cover.
Maiden over.
Warwickshire 48-1 - target 390
Dan Lawrence is on to twirl some off-spin before the rain arrives.
Rob Yates has 17* with Will Young 3*.
342 more runs needed, though the floodlights are on, the sky looks like Mordor and they need north of six an over already.
Leics 40-1 - target 316
There is more rain in the air at Grace Road.
They're staying out there for now and Rishi Patel clips Ajeet Singh Dale for four to move to 11 not out.
Leicestershire need 276 from 62 overs to win.
Essex 457-8dec v Durham 333 & 115-7
Ben Raine carves away another shorter delivery from Simon Harmer to the rope through mid-wicket to move to 13* with his third boundary.
Matt Potts has 9* from 15 balls.
Durham trail by nine runs.
Ingram c Vasconcelos b Harrison 55 (Northants 413-9 dec v Glam 467 & 164-5)
Definite change of gears from Glamorgan, who now lead by 218 but Northants have their fifth wicket.
Leg spinner Calvin Harrison gets Colin Ingram on a sweep shot which he top edges from bat to pad and first slip.
The injured Ben Kellaway is in next.
He injured his calf earlier in the match.
Davies lbw b Lawes 31 - Warwickshire 48-1 - target 390
Breakthrough for Surrey, amid the gathering gloom.
Great pace from Tom Lawes who fizzes one in towards off-stump which thumps Alex Davies on the knee-roll and gives the umpire an easy decision. That's Lawes' fifth lbw of the match.
Will Young joins Rob Yates (16*) looking to follow his first innings half-century... weather permitting, of course.
Notts beat Worcestershire by three wickets

Nottinghamshire have got over the line, they've certainly not had things easy today.
Worcestershire were superb this morning, getting Notts in all sorts of difficulties by lunch.
A fifth win of the season for Notts and they still cherish hopes of being able to pip Surrey and get their first County Championship title since 2010.
Sussex 44-1 - target 278 to beat Hants
Tom Haines wafts outside off stump, facing Kyle Abbott.
More frustration for Hampshire.
