    Cox c Wells b Mahmood 31 (Lancs 263 v Leics 397-6)

    Ben Cox pulls a short ball from Saqib Mahmood and it goes straight to Luke Wells on the boundary who manages to deal with some low south Manchester sunshine to catch comfortably.

    His side are now 132 runs ahead of Lancashire with five wickets still remaining.

  3. 'Spinners operating doesn't really suit' Hampshirepublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 20 April

    Hants 336 v Somerset 184 & 103-1 - bad light stops play

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    I think what was going on there was that Hampshire were going to bring on a quick bowler in order to force the suspension of play on the grounds that coming back on with the spinners operating doesn't really suit them at the moment.

    They'd sooner be off and wait until they can get their seam attack going and get in amongst the wickets.

    At the moment they are allowing Somerset to get nearer to eliminating the deficit without any realistic chance of picking up wickets.

  4. Postpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 20 April

    Worcs 137-5 - target 295

    Kasun Rajitha returns for Essex.

    He's slightly quicker than Jamie Porter and Shane Snater and appeals for lbw against Brett D'Oliveira, but that is surely missing leg.

    He starts with a maiden.

  5. Bad light stops playpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 20 April

    Hants 336 v Somerset 184 & 103-1

    Oh dear, here we go again.

    Hampshire, who haven't threatened a second wicket with their two spinners, want to put a seamer back into the attack - a request which is denied by the umpires following a short conversation.

    Spin didn't suit the hosts, and in fact they were allowing Somerset the chance to whittle down the deficit rather comfortably, and the players are going back off the field for bad light for the second time today.

  6. 50 runs

    for Caleb Jewellpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 20 April

    Derbys 307 & 105-2 v Northants 500-8 dec

    Caleb JewellImage source, Rex Features

    Six Championship innings for Derbyshire - five half-centuries. Not bad.

    Caleb Jewell reaches his latest off 68 balls by pulling Dom Leech for four.

    Can he convert this into his first three-figure score for the county?

  7. Postpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 20 April

    Worcs 137-5 - target 295

    We haven't had many boundaries of late at Chelmsford, but there's one for Matthew Waite to extra cover - the first of his innings - off Shane Snater.

    Snater tries him out with a bouncer and the batsman gloves it over the keeper for another boundary.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 20 April

    Came lbw Leech 27 (Derbys 307 & 100-2 v Northants 500-8 dec)

    A setback for Derbyshire as Harry Came is trapped on the crease and leg-before to Dom Leech.

    Came put on 63 with Caleb Jewell, who has now been joined by captain Wayne Madsen. The home side trail by 93.

  9. 'Hain's strength was his downfall'published at 16:54 British Summer Time 20 April

    Warwicks 93 & 77-3 v Notts 367

    Grace Ballinger
    The Blaze bowler on BBC Radio Nottingham

    That was a big, big wicket Sam Hain has looked good so far.

    His strength was his downfall, he got tempted again outside off stump and he nicked it through to the keeper.

  10. 100 up for Somersetpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 20 April

    Hants 336 v Somerset 184 & 100-1

    A single from Tom Lammonby means Somerset are in to triple figures.

    The visitors still trail Hampshire by 53 runs.

  11. Postpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 20 April

    Worcs 129-5 - target 295

    Matthew Waite is given the hurry-up by the final ball of Shane Snater's latest over, which lifts off the pitch and he can do no more than fend it off.

    Brett D'Oliveira clips the first ball of the next from Jamie Porter into the gap at mid-wicket and takes two.

  12. PLAY RESUMES AT HAMPSHIREpublished at 16:48 British Summer Time 20 April

    Hants 336 v Somerset 184 & 91-1

    Some good news to tell you about.

    We are back under way at The Utilita Bowl after bad light delayed the restart to the final session of day three between Hampshire and Somerset.

  13. 'D'Oliveira and Waite have to hang in'published at 16:46 British Summer Time 20 April

    Essex 179 & 317 v Worcestershire 202 & 126-5

    Nick Gledhill
    BBC Essex

    These two have got to hang in and try and build.

    It's not quite last chance saloon for Worcestershire but you feel that they played well in the first innings have got to do it again here.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 20 April

    Hain c Verreynne b Tongue 16 (Warwicks 93 & 69-3 v Notts 367)

    He's looked good since Tea but Sam Hain is now on his way back to the pavillion.

    A quick one from Josh Tongue finds the outside edge and is caught behind by wicket-keeper Kyle Verreynne.

    Big wicket for Nottinghamshire.

  15. Postpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 20 April

    Worcs 126-5 - target 295

    Matthew Waite is beaten by an excellent Jamie Porter delivery which leaves him off the pitch.

    Essex not offering up any freebies in this immediate post-tea period.

    How did that miss? Waite connects with nothing but air as Porter cuts one back the other way.

  16. Postpublished at 16:42 British Summer Time 20 April

    Warwicks 93 & 65-2 v Notts 367

    A superb final delivery of the over from Nottinghamshire's Lyndon James somehow misses both the edge of Hamza Sheikh's beaten bat and the top of off stump.

    The dictionary definition of a jaffa from James.

  17. 'Ali looked to be rediscovering the touch'published at 16:42 British Summer Time 20 April

    Essex 179 & 317 v Worcestershire 202 & 126-5

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Hereford & Worcestershire

    Big blow for Worcestershire losing Kashif Ali just before tea and he was looking so good as well.

    He really looked to be rediscovering the touch, the form that he'd maybe been struggling with, but some encouraging signs for him

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 20 April

    Wharton c sub (Drissell) b Potts 6 (Durham 427 v Yorks 309 & 37-2)

    James Wharton has crawled along to six off 30 balls and then can't resist a short one from Matthew Potts , the ball flying flat to deep square leg where sub fielder George Drissell takes the catch.

    Yorkshire appear a little conflicted about what the plan is here.

  19. Postpublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 20 April

    Worcs 126-5 - target 295

    A thick edge from Brett D'Oliveira falls just short of third slip.

    An anxious moment for Worcestershire's skipper, but he survives.

    County Ground, HoveImage source, BBC Sussex

    With Dan Lawrence and Ben Foakes seeing it like a beach ball and scoring at well over four and a half an over the umpires decide the light is that bad that they cannot continue.
