  1. Division Two update

    Gloucestershire fast bowler Marchant de Lange has left the field at Canterbury with what the clubs says is a "muscle injury". Not good news as they try and bring Ben Compton's marathon innings to an end - he is 173 not out and Kent are 3798-, 93 behind.

    Northants are now 315-4 in the 88th over against Derbyshire following the recent loss of Rob Keogh for 51. Luke Procter is 140 not out and has now been joined by Saif Zaib.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    James c Yates b Barnard 42 (Warwicks 93 v Notts 256-6)

    As soon as I say that, Warwickshire do make the break through!

    A full delivery outside off from Ed Barnard is there to be hit but Lyndon James swipes at the ball and it goes straight to Rob Yates at first slip.

    A sixth wicket partnership of 78 finally comes to an end for Nottinghamshire.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Zafar c Cooke b Kellaway 12 (Middx 452-9 v Glamorgan 199)

    Another grab from Chris Cooke, this time at the second attempt as Ben Kellaway takes a fourth wicket of the morning.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Roland-Jones c Cooke b Leonard 31 (Middx 452-8 v Glamorgan 199)

    Great catch from the Glamorgan keeper Chris Cooke who flings himself full length to his right to take the edge.

    Brings to an end an entertaining innings from the Middlesex captain and Ned Leonard should have had another in the same over with Henry Brookes absolutely plumb.

  5. Warwicks 93 v Notts 255-5

    Another over goes by and still no breakthrough from Warwickshire.

    In the final ball of the 74th over, Haseeb Hameed runs the ball down to third man for a couple.

    He currently stands on 95 not out from 192 deliveries.

  6. Essex 179 & 296-8 v Worcs 202

    Shane SnaterRex Features

    He's played and missed a couple of times but nothing wrong with that one from Shane Snater, who pulls Tom Taylor powerfully through mid-wicket for four. The Essex lead is 273.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Robinson lbw b White 16 (Durham 340-4 v Yorks 307)

    Not much doubt about that one...

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Holland c Mahmood b J Turner 35 ( Lancs 263 v Leics 190-3)

    Two wickets in quick succession for Lancashire!

    Ian Holland goes to hook a short ball from John Turner but the ball loops straight up in the air and its a simple catch for Saqib Mahmood at mid-on.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Pope

    Sussex 435 v Surrey 144-1 (trail by 291 runs)

    Ollie Pope has moved to his half century as Surrey settle into day three.

  10. Middx 447-7 v Glamorgan 199

    Toby Roland-Jones is in a rush here whacking a six over long on off Ben Kellaway and now three fours in the same over from Ned Leonard.

    The Middlesex captain has 26 in 22 deliveries.

  11. 'Worcestershire needed that wicket'

    Essex 179 & 287-8 v Worcs 202

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Hereford & Worcestershire

    Worcestershire needed that wicket.

    Simon Harmer has been so disciplined in leaving anything wide of off stump, he hasn't been tempted at all, but on that occasion he was.

    You can tell how much that meant to Worcestershire by the length of time the players took hugging Tom Taylor.

  12. 50 runs

    for Rob Keogh

    Derbys 307 v Northants 310-4

    Rob Keogh pulls Luis Reece high over mid-on for four to reach his second 50 of the season - this one taking 78 balls - and carry Northants into the lead.

    It's Keogh's final scoring stroke, though, as Reece switches to round the wicket and swings one through a wide gap between bat and pad and bowls him for 51 as he attempts another lofted stroke.

  13. 250 up for Notts

    Warwicks 93 v Notts 250-5

    The 250 is up for Nottinghamshire and they are in cruise control on day three so far at Edgaston, adding 46 runs to their overnight total.

    Lyndon James currently stands on 39 not out and Haseeb Hameed is 93 not out.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Ahmed c Bohannon b Hartley 100 (Lancs 263 v Leics 188-2)

    Rehan AhmedRex Features

    Rehan Ahmed is finally dismissed for 100!

    In the following over after hitting a single to earn a ton, he pushes a delivery from Tom Hartley straight to Josh Bohannon at silly mid-on who gathers comfortably.

    A terrific innings comes to an end.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Harmer c Roderick b Taylor 33 (Essex 179 & 287-8 v Worcs 202)

    Much-needed wicket for Worcestershire as Simon Harmer pushes forward at a wide one from Tom Taylor and presents keeper Gareth Roderick with a straightforward catch - his second of the morning.

    When he sees the video, Harmer may feel he didn't need to play at that. Essex lead by 264 as Kasun Rajitha comes to the middle.

  16. 50 runs

    50 for Sibley

    Sussex 435 v Surrey 133-1 (trail by 302 runs)

    Not looking like there is a huge amount for the bowlers in this Hove pitch and Dom Sibley brings up his half century with a glorious on drive off Fynn Hudson-Prentice.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Hampton lbw Lammonby 0 (Somerset 184 v Hants 256-6)

    Tom LammonbyRex Features

    All of a sudden, this match has a different feel to it.

    It's Tom Lammonby again for the visitors with his third wicket of the morning!

    His delivery angles in on Brett Hampton trapping him LBW for a duck.

    The wicket signals career-best figures for Lammonby.

  18. 'Good on Lammonby'

    Somerset 184 v Hants 256-5

    Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    It's almost like the cloud cover, which is quite high, is giving the ball a little chance to do something.

    Tom Lammonby has only taken 11 wickets before today and he's got two. Good on him.

  19. 100 runs

    100 partnership for Northants

    Derbyshire 307 v Northants 301-3

    Rob Keogh steers Luis Reece through the covers for four as he and Luke Procter bring up a century stand from 164 balls.

    Keogh is 47 not out and the deficit is now just six runs.

  20. Essex 179 & 282-7 v Worcs

    Prodigious swing for Matthew Waite and Ethan Brookes has to dive to his left at first slip to prevent four byes after it beats keeper Gareth Roderick.

    Shane Snater flicks one down to square leg for a couple and progresses to 18 not out.
