Should be resuming at 16:00 at Chelmsford after tea was taken during the downpours.

A very productive mini-session for Yorkshire.

They are three wickets away from a crucial victory in their pursuit of promotion.

Northants 219 & 211 v Derbys 165 & 33-3 (target: 266)

Yuzvendra Chahal almost has an eighth in the match after getting an edge out of David Lloyd.

It turned, it bounce and it carried to Ricardo Vasconcelos.

But it was a tough chance at first slip and it goes down.

Tawanda Muyeye and Ben Compton very comfortable after Kent were asked to follow-on.

Well, that was a cosy five minutes.

Horrid day to be on the ground staff.

The covers are coming back on.

A much better session for Warwickshire after this morning's New Road pounding.

Just one wicket lost in the session - and that was Alex Davies after his second half-century of the match.

105 runs too in 33 overs.

Will Rhodes is on 66. Sam Hain is on 22. And the Bears now trail by just 15.

Today's third session will play a major part in determining the outcome of this Midlands Pears-Bears derby. 40 overs left in the day!

A solid session of play for Lancashire after the early loss of Keaton Jennings.

36 overs left in the day's play after the break.

Jack Carson concedes just a leg bye from his ninth over and that's tea.

Sussex look to be closing in on a seventh championship win of the season after taking three Glamorgan wickets in the afternoon session, including that of Colin Ingram for 71.

The Welsh side trail by 169 heading into the interval, with 43 overs left of the day if light allows.

Sussex may fancy their chances of wrapping things up today.

It was indeed a short delay.

Ajeet Singh Dale will bowl to Max Holden to complete the over.

Middlesex lead by 107.

Sheeesh, Tawanda Muyeye smoked this ball for six.

Out of nowhere, Muyeye rocks onto the back foot and smashes Mo Abbas over the midwicket boundary. A delay as they try to find a suitable replacement ball.

Muyeye and James Vince batting in the same match should come with an "aesthetically pleasing batting" tax for spectators.

Four runs to Luke Wells, driving a very full ball from Chemar Holder to long on.

Lancashire as we know are in the relegation zone but if the team can hold out for a draw, they may yet keep the pressure on Notts, who began this round just above them and are currently in danger of an innings defeat at Chelmsford.

Josh Bohannon gets a thick inside edge onto his pad defending his wicket against Bas de Leede but survives to play a lovely pirouetted pull shot later on through square leg.

Get him on Strictly!

Ben Kellaway must have walked to the crease in decent spirits after picking up his first red-ball five-wicket haul earlier today.

He's off the mark with a fourth-ball boundary as he pulls Henry Crocombe square through the legside for four.

It feels like decades since Yuzvendra Chahal had Brooke Guest leg before with the last ball before lunch.

But after watching the covers for a while, it is time for the action to resume.

Chemar Holder is in the attack at the Finchale End and bowls a tight line and length.

Just that one run from the over.

Bas de Leede is round the wicket to the left-handed Luke Wells, who gets a single off the third ball clipped into the leg side.

The runs have dried up but survival is key for Lancashire here.

We had hoped to resume by now but the ground is covered in dark cloud and the rain threat is still here.

As you were.
