Lancashire 315-4 v Middlesex 211

A sixth time past fifty for Matty Hurst in the County Championship this season.

It has come in a brisk 54 balls - which has included THREE sixes.

Kasey Aldridge scored 180 with the bat earlier in the match.

Can he rustle up some heroics with the ball?

This is his first over of the match, his last at Taunton before joining Durham in the winter.

Surrey 201-5 (Target 315)

Tom Curran steps across his stumps and flicks Lyndon James down to the long-leg boundary.

We've now had 38 runs and a wicket since lunch.

Dan Lawrence surely holds the key for Surrey here?

He's got to 34 not out from 36 deliveries.

The first chance of the afternoon session, and it is a toughy.

Ben Brown advances down the pitch, is done through the gate by one that leaps out of the ground from Archie Vaughan.

All James Rew needs to do is collect the ball and take the stumps, but the mixture of extra-bounce and suddenly appearing from behind the batter sees him fail.

Ryan Patel did not need to do that. He's given Notts a way back in there. He's try to pull a ball he thought was short enough but he's spooned it up high to Hameed. There's a real look of disgust on his face.

Matty Hurst moves a few inches down the track, swings wildly and leathers the ball for six.

He and Mike Jones have freed up their biceps for a few overs, but that is the first time that ball has been well and truly middled.

Josh Tongue is getting up towards 90mph.

He hits Tom Curran in the midriff.

He goes past the outside edge of Tom Curran.

One run from the over.

Surrey require a further 120 runs to win. Notts need five wickets.

Ben Brown doesn't like blocking out, but he is good at it.

Against Worcestershire in July, he batted the entire last day to save a draw but said: "It isn't enjoyable. In those situations, clarity is better than having no plan. I put run scoring out my mind. It was boring and tiring but we got a draw."

So far today he has faced 60 balls for his 16 - barely playing a shot in anger in that time. But he'll certainly "enjoy" escaping Taunton with a draw.

Real intensity from Dan Lawrence and he looks in the mood. He's applying a little bit of pressure here.

Lyndon James will have to change his length a little as he's hit over mid wicket for four.

Ryan Patel drives beautifully for four runs.

He's one who goes under the radar in this Surrey side but can bat anywhere in the top six.

Twenty-seven runs added since lunch.

The end of a Lyndon James over with eight runs from it.

Dan Lawrence steps down the wicket and whips one away for four runs - he's not nervous then!

A quick look at our third and final straw poll then (13:15 BST) and you're saying Notts will win this.

So it's 2-1 in favour of the visitors in our very unscientific poll.

Let's see if you're right...

Disciplined batting needed by Yorkshire.

Ollie Robinson has the new ball for Sussex, with Adam Lyth on strike - he already has 1,100 Championship runs to his credit this season.

Lyth tucks the final ball of the over away behind square for four.

Where have all the close-in fielders gone?

Jack Leach only has two slips in catching positions. Ben Brown has no intentions of playing anything expansive, so this feels odd not to pile the pressure onto him.

Leach might not need them. He is ripping the ball. If anything, he is turning the ball too much, as he passes the outside edge.

Oh Kyle Verreynne...

Ryan Patel gets a big edge to Josh Tongue.

Wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne dives across in front of first slip - should catch it, doesn't...
