Another tidy over from Jamie Porter costs just one run, but no further breakthrough.

He has figures of 1-8 from five overs.

Simon Harmer continues at the other end and tempts Colin Ackermann to play across the line. Encouragement.

He then wraps Alex Lees on the pad, but it was sneaking down leg.

His compatriot Dean Elgar then calls for the pads as he's sent in under the batsman's nose. Full marks for attacking intent.

Notts openers Haseeb Hameed and Ben Duckett are back out there again.

But for how long? And who cares?

Two hours before they can shake hands on a draw. Nothing to play for here.

Notts skipper Hameed is immediately off the mark with a four to the cover boundary off OHD. One more than he managed in the first dig.

It's taken just eight overs, but Simon Harmer - so often the second inning destroyer - comes into the attack.

Three runs, no alarms. So far.

Ah, maybe it was just a move to allow Jamie Porter to switch ends.

Derbyshire's Aneurin Donald (97) is denied the chance of a century after being caught behind off the bowling of Joe Root. He leaves behind Zak Chappell (78*), who hit two sixes in the same over, and is scoring at a fast rate. Derbyshire (417-8) trail Yorkshire by 33 runs.

Leicestershire have lost a couple of quick wickets with Rehan Ahmed (85) and Ben Cox (0) both falling to Ben Sanderson. Peter Handscomb is 93 not out but his side trail Northants by138 runs with four wickets remaining.

Gloucestershire need 303 runs to beat Middlesex. They are currently 28-1 in their second innings.

We weren't sure how the afternoon would pan out.

Would Essex declare? Was the plan to see Nick Browne reach the fifth double hundred of his career?

Either way, none of that happened. As Essex tried to push the score along at the start of the session, Browne was run out on 184. Moments later Harry Duke was run out on 20 and the visitors were soon all out for 488 and a lead of 130.

In theory Durham had 59 overs to bat out for a draw. But in gloomy, overcast conditions, they lost an early wicket. Skipper Scott Borthwick fell LBW four four to Jamie Porter at the start of the third over.

This has generally looked like a good batting track, but with a bit of drizzle in the air, the conditions may well suit the Essex seamers. Durham have their work cut out and need a sensible approach.

The pitch has not offered a lot of help for the bowlers in this match, but another ball keeps low, this time from Sam Cook.

Alex Lees just about jams his bat down on it.

Then the same again! Lees is late on this one and he's slightly lucky not to get an under-edge on it. Maiden, but no wicket.

Essex will need everything to go their way if they're to force a result.

From Warwickshire's point of view, they really have to get cracking.

They really can't afford to score at only one or two an over.

(Only five overs left to the 110-over bonus-point cut-off mark)

Essex on the attack.

Matt Critchley is barely a step off the cut strip as he fields to Jamie Porter to try and unsettle Colin Ackermann, but the South African plays out a maiden.

A more conventional field for Sam Cook, but there's still plenty of man around the bat.

A great piece of fielding on the rope keeps an Alex Lees' legside flick down to three.

Play and miss.

Alex Lees aims a big drive at a full and wide delivery from Sam Cook and it sails just past his outside edge.

Nervy moments for the hosts.

One of the things that might benefit Essex is that it's quite gloomy here.

There is a bit of damp in the air and the lights are on.

See what I mean?

With Stephen Eskinazi on 65 not out Middlesex declare on 449-7 to set Gloucestershire a target of 331 at Bristol.

Peter Handscomb (74*) and Rehan Ahmed (71*) are ticking along for Leicestershire against Gloucestershire. They are 278-4 but trail by 176 runs.

Derbyshire are 348-7 at Headingley and closing the first-innings gap on Yorkshire, with Aneurin Donald not out on 81. They trail by 102 runs.

Nick Browne not getting what would have been his fifth double 100 which would have been a remarkable achievement.

Essex have reshaped their batting order this season with Browne getting his chance in this game and, my word, has he taken it.

Somerset continue to block it out as the wind gets up after lunch at Chester Road.

Andy Umeed has six singles so far from his 35 balls.

Tom Lammonby has at least briefly entertained the windswept public with four fours.

But the Cidermn still trail the Pears by 53 runs.

A free swing for the Essex bowlers as they chase quick wickets in search of an unlikely win.

Jamie Porter opens up the second innings against Alex Lees who takes a single from the second ball.

Porter then sends the next into Scott Borthwick's pads. Close but no dice.

The next one keeps very low and the Durham skip does well to get his bat down in time.

The fifth clips Borthwick on the thig pad for four leg byes who then guides the final ball fine down to the third man boundary. Nine from the over.

Nottinghamshire 400, Warwickshire 338-7

Warwickshire going along nicely after lunch at Edgbaston.

Wicketkeeper Michael Burgess (30) and new signing Aamer Jamal (36) have so far put on 62 for the eighth wicket - to move within sight of a third batting point.

Still time to add a fifth too, if they give it the hurry-up.

Callum Parkinson has a five-for!

Essex have lost their final four wickets and hit 38 runs in a crazy 25-minute post-lunch smash.

Shane Snater looks to hit Parkinson back over his head, but picks out Paul Coughlin at long off.

Brilliant work from the left-arm spinner who finishes with four wickets today and figures of 5-131.

Essex end their first knock with a 130-run lead.

Could we yet see a twist?
