BBC West Midlands reporter Mike Taylor at Taunton:

"Warwickshire took three wickets in the first hour this morning to strengthen their chances of an important victory, but there is much work to do yet. Oliver Hannon-Dalby's excellent game continued with two wickets in an over, after Jeetan Patel pinned Marcus Trescothick lbw.

"The pitch is offering more help for Patel, who occasionally found sharp turn, and had concerted appeals against Nick Compton and James Hildreth declined in the last half-hour of the session."

BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson at Old Trafford:

"Lancashire look like they are about to take a huge step in their battle to avoid relegation because Durham's nerves look shot on a wicket which is offering turn and bounce to the hosts' bowlers.

"Durham have also played into the hands of Lancashire with all of the talk of this being a spinner's paradise and Simon Kerrigan's left-arm trickery has caused their downfall.

"He's taken 4-42 and Durham are reeling on 129-6 at lunch, just 48 ahead. At this rate, if the wickets keep tumbling, this will be over before tea and the hosts will be out of the bottom two with Durham replacing them in the relegation zone."

Lincoln City manager Gary Simpson has revealed how he used jelly babies to help the team win against league leaders Barnet on Saturday.

Former Southampton striker Rickie Lambert criticises the club's owners during an interview with Fox Sports, external and says: "A few of the players who have left have taken a bit of stick. They'll take it, that's football. It's been surprising that it has all been at the players and not on the owners.

"There is obviously a reason why the gaffer went and I think that was the moment that I think it became clear to the players what the ambition of the club was going to be."

England bowler James Anderson says his row with India's Ravindra Jadeja helped him focus. "Possibly, in the last few games, I have concentrated more on being aggressive with the ball rather than my mouth," says Anderson, who was cleared, along with Jadeja, following an International Cricket Council hearing.

"I think I tried to be as aggressive. Whether I tried to say any less, I don't know. But I think the Jadeja incident made me more determined to perform on the field. What's helped me in the last five or six years is the fact I've been aggressive on the field and had the odd word.

"I've tried not to cross the line. And that's why the umpires are there to monitor that."
