It wont last forever that's for sure but just behind this particular cloud burst there looks to be another couple coming.

So on go the covers and I assume we're going to have at least a 15 minute break, possibly a few minutes longer.

If you're a Leicestershire supporter then I'm sure you'll all be keeping an eye on scores elsewhere, particularly at Lord's and Northampton obviously.

Josh Tongue is right behind the line of the ball to defend.

But the next one beats him and misses a defensive bat by a tiny margin.

The ball lifted on a good length.

Tongue drives straight but without timing and there's no run.

18 to win. 12 runs off that last over.

Khurram Shahzad is back in the attack, but this time from the Diglis End.

Lyndon James is forward, pushing into the off side for one.

17 to win.

Two boundaries in three balls for Alex Davies who smites Dan Worrall through the covers before driving off the back foot to send Gus Atkinson to the same rope.

Davies survives another appeal from Atkinson soon after but the skipper has 22* from 45 balls with Rob Yates on 7* from 27 at the other end.

Run-rate still around 5.6 an over. They are just trying to stay out there and see what happens.

A vital breakthrough for Worcestershire, ending a partnership of 31.

Liam Patterson-White was doing a great job for his side.

Well, this game is hotting up a bit.

Play and miss defending from the crease.

Welcome to the middle, Josh Tongue.

Oh, leg side and clipped away square for four!

Leics 342 & 23-1 v Glos 482 & 175-3 dec

While Ian Holland is receiving treatment for a hand injury, the skies darken and here comes the rain again in best Eurythmics style. It's quite heavy too so this will likely be a longer delay than the one which delayed the afternoon restart by 10 minutes.

Colin Ackermann's time in the middle was rather brief.

He was on five runs when he decided to cut a delivery from Simon Harmer, but half way through the shot he seemed to change his mind and ended up edging to Dean Elgar at first slip.

It was not the start Durham wanted after lunch and I am not sure they will be here come tea either - unless it rains.

They are also not making any progress in terms of runs, so they remain nearly 50 behind. Tea is at 3.10pm and that seems a long way off from here.

Ollie Robinson picks up his first runs since before lunch as he gloves one from Jamie Porter down the leg side and it races away for four.

He follows another down the leg side and almost goes, not quite getting anything on the ball which Michael Pepper takes flying to his left. Exactly how Robinson got out in the first innings.

The arrears is below 50 and Robinson is 15* from 39 balls.

Middx 298 v Derbys 283 & 130-4

Olly Stone races in again, drops short and Brooke Guest pounds if for four off the back foot to reach his fifth 50 of the season, this one taking 94 balls.

It's been a valuable knock for his side, who were in a bit of trouble at 87-4. Their lead is now 117.

Ben Allison pushes the next ball out wider.

Liam Patterson-White lets it go.

Four more! Cut square from the crease.

We are nearing crunch time.

Short from Ben Alison and Liam Patterson-White swings the ball behind square for four.

It feels like the gears are shifting.

A single for Graham Clark off Simon Harmer reduced Durham's deficit to 52 runs.

They are playing in some heavy drizzle from what looks to be the sole cloud over Essex at present. Blue skies surround it.

Durham will surely think it's unplayable but you'd need a crowbar to get those Essex fielders off the pitch.

34 to get from here.

Width from Tom Taylor but Lyndon James is not playing this time.

James drives down the ground but he hasn't timed it. No run.

James is forward to block. A leg side fourth ball is nudged away for a couple of runs.

Two more runs to leg but more of a bat-pad shot this time.

They all count. 30 to win.

Ian Holland receives another blow on the hand, this time from a rapid delivery by Ajeet Singh Dale - the second of his innings. Here comes the Foxes physio.

From this end it's been really tough going for Notts. Khurram Shahzad has given nothing away in his 11 overs.

Easy pickings for Rishi Patel and Matt Taylor sends down a full toss wide of off stump. It receives the treatment it deserves as Patel finds the extra cover boundary.

Ben Allison is giving Liam Patterson-White very little to work with.

He tries to turn the ball leg side but is stopped at mid wicket.

Runs this time! Crunched between cover and mid off. Four.

The innings 100 arrives thanks to that shot in 45.5 overs.

Warwickshire secured a first innings lead of two.

It doesn't look particularly significant now but I suppose if they end up winning by one wicket then those two runs will have been huge.
