  1. Somerset 454-8 dec v Hampshire 172 & 129-5

    What is it about Taunton and final day drama in September?

    Those two wickets going bang-bang just before tea puts Somerset in a fantastic position to beat Hampshire.

    Standing in their way is Indian international Washington Sundar and Felix Organ for now, and then James Fuller, Keith Barker, Kyle Abbott and Eddie Jack.

    Archie Vaughan starts us back up, and forces Sundar into a defensive block.

  2. 50 runs

    for Jonny Bairstow

    Sussex 250 v Yorks 194 & 85-3

    Back out after tea, Jaydev Unadkat overpitches and Jonny Bairstow on-drives for four to reach 50 off 78 balls.

    It's his seventh in the Championship this season - but he doesn't have a hundred yet.

  3. 'Sensational performance from Tongue'

    Surrey 173 & 294 v Notts 231 & 256

    Dave Bracegirdle
    BBC Radio Nottingham commentator

    A sensational performance from Josh Tongue. Nottinghamshire are the first side to beat the defending champions this season.

    The two best sides in the country have given us an absolute thriller of a game.

    Tongue has been the decider with five wickets in this innings. His wickets were key in the win, he's done his very very best.

  4. What a game that was at the Oval - but Nottinghamshire aren't the only East Midlands team celebrating today.

    Leicestershire were confirmed as Division Two champions earlier this afternoon and having been enjoying the moment.

  5. A rare home defeat for Surrey

    Surrey 173 & 294 v Notts 231 & 256

    Surrey are beaten at home in the Championship for the first time in more than two years.

    That is some game of cricket we have witnessed at The Oval with it swinging one way and then the other over the course of four riveting days.

    The weather even added to the drama by keeping us waiting yesterday.

    A big nod to the captaincy of Haseeb Hameed who held his nerve at crucial moments and got his bowling changes spot on.

    What about Liam Patterson-White? One over of spin to get the breakthrough and a crucial top score of 58 in the game in that second innings for the visitors.

  6. Tea at Bristol

    Gloucs 241 v Northants 206 & 171-5

    Despite a couple of quick wickets for Gloucestershire in the afternoon session, this game is heading towards a draw.

    Justin Broad is 38 not out having blunted the home side's bowlers since his arrival at the crease.

  7. 'That's the wicket Somerset were looking for'

    Somerset 454-8 dec v Hampshire 172 & 129-5

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    Ben Brown has fought so hard but trapped LBW to Jack Leach.

    The players now go in for tea and those two late wickets have changed the complexion of this game.

    Somerset have renewed hope.

  8. Tea at Old Trafford

    Lancashire 375-5d v Middlesex 211 & 26-1

    Lancashire managed to pick up one wicket in 12 overs.

    They need nine more for a sensational win, but only have 138 runs to play with.

  9. Tea at Chester-le-Street

    Durham 277-3 v Worcs 591-9 dec

    The runs continue to flow on this flat pitch at Chester-le-Street.

    Emilio Gay has batted all day and is unbeaten on 149.

    NOTTS BEAT SURREY BY 20 RUNS
    Breaking

    Lawes c Slater b Tongue 33 (Surrey 294 all out)

    Tom Lawes tries to hit Josh Tongue for four but it's gone straight to Ben Slater on the cover boundary.

    Tongue finishes with five wickets.

  11. Surrey 294-9 (Target 315)

    Four runs from a Brett Hutton over.

    Notts allow Surrey the single to keep Tom Lawes on strike rather than trying to get Josh Tongue to have a go at Dan Worrall.

    Surrey require 21 runs.

    The tie is very much in play folks.

    WICKET

    Brown lbw Leach 36 (Somerset 454-8 dec v Hampshire 172 & 129-5)

    THE LAST BALL BEFORE TEA!!!

    In the last four overs, a game that Hampshire had looked on the verge of saving has swung massively towards Somerset.

    Ben Brown's 128-ball stay is done, 22 balls after Nick Gubbins fell.

    Jack Leach skids one on with the arm and into the pads. That is plumb.

  13. 'A fine defensive innings from Gubbins'

    Somerset 454-8 dec v Hampshire 172 & 125-4

    Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    Nick Gubbins could do no more then that, it bounced and turned.

    Kasey Aldridge taking one of those catches where you stick your hand out and it sticks.

    A fine defensive innings comes to an end and some hope for Somerset.

  14. Tea at Hove

    Sussex 250 v Yorkshire 194 & 81-3

    Jonny BairstowGetty Images

    Jonny Bairstow cuts his second boundary of the over to reach 46 not out as tea arrives with Yorkshire 25 in front.

    They were in dire straits at 6-3, all three wickets taken by left-arm spinner James Coles, who took the new ball for Sussex.

    Despite the occasional alarm, Bairstow and James Wharton have added 75 in 26 and a half overs since the fall of Finlay Bean.

    Earlier, Sussex added 18 to their overnight 232-8 following a delayed start to earn a batting bonus point.

  15. Somerset 454-8 dec v Hampshire 172 & 125-4

    Jack Leach beats the outside for the umpteenth time today.

    Next ball, he gets an inside edge from Ben Brown, but straight into the pads.

    A sea of arms goes up each time as the excitement levels crank up.

  16. Surrey 290-9 (Target 315)

    Josh Tongue bowls a full toss and Tom Lawes can't get it away.

    It means last man, Dan Worrall is on strike at the start of the next over.

  17. Somerset 454-8 dec v Hampshire 172 & 125-4

    The verve is back for Somerset with that wicket.

    The chirping is back, men are all around the back and those faint dreams of finally ending their County Championship hoodoo are back.

    Archie Vaughan has all four so far...

  18. 'Have to give credit to Tongue'

    Surrey 173 & 290-9 v Notts 231 & 256

    Josh TongueRex Features

    You have to give Josh Tongue the credit here. He really has switched it on.

    You go to your strike bowler in these situations and he's done a fantastic job so far!

  19. Surrey 290-9 (Target 315)

    Successive fours for Tom Lawes - an outside edge this time down to the third-man rope.

    Twenty-five more needed.

  20. Sussex 250 v Yorks 194 & 74-3

    Too much width from James Coles at the start of a new over and Jonny Bairstow cuts away for four. Yorkshire lead by 18.
