Preston manager Simon Grayson has revealed his squad was "devastated" after their loss at Colchester cost them promotion to the Championship.

Sitting second on the final day of the season, the Lilywhites defeat allowed MK Dons to finish second in League One.

They now face Chesterfield over two legs in the play-off semi-final, away on Thursday and at Deepdale on Sunday.

"The dressing room is devastated, we're all devastated as staff and the supporters will be," Grayson, 45, said.

BBC Sport's Elizabeth Ammon at Canterbury:

Leicestershire 386 & 81-5, Kent 268

"Leicestershire are having a wobble, they've lost five wickets for just 81.

"They still have a handy lead of 199 runs after bowling out Kent earlier on today but they'll need to be a bit careful here that they don't capitulate and let Kent back into the game.

"Darren Stevens has, as he so often does, been causing problems bowling from the Pavilion end.

"He picked up the wickets of Robson and Pinner within a couple of overs of each other and Mitchell Claydon picked up the vital wicket of first innings centurion Mark Cosgrove.

"It's been an intriguing session in amongst the gale force winds."

Northants 385, Lancashire 377-7

An unbroken eight-wicket stand of 56 between Peter Siddle (61) and Tom Bailey (32) appears likely to earn Lancashire a first-innings lead on day three against Northants at Wantage Road.

They came together when Ashwell Prince was finally dismissed by Steven Crook for 153, an innings lasting just over five hours and containing 21 fours.

The pair saw Lancashire to 377-7 at the interval, just eight runs in arrears, but with only four sessions left in the game, a draw appears the most likely result.

Gloucestershire beat Essex by nine wickets

BBC Essex's Paul Newton at Chelmsford:

"Gloucestershire raced to a thoroughly impressive victory over Essex, racing to 114-1 in just 21.2 overs.

"Will Tavare (57) and Chris Dent (52 not out) batted with complete freedom to put on 106 at five an over, the earlier gremlins of a frequently treacherous pitch having apparently been blown away by a fierce wind.

"Man of the match was undoubtedly Liam Norwell whose 6-33 in Essex's second innings total of 199, gave him career-best match figures of 10-65."

Chelsea will face Notts County in the first women's Cup final at Wembley following their 1-0 semi-final win over City, but Houghton said there were plenty of positives for her side.

"I think we grew as the game went on," Houghton told BBC Sport. "In the second half we probably limited them to just the chance that they scored from. If you look at our performance, I think we were the better team."

Derbyshire 205, Glamorgan 103-4

"Glamorgan and Derbyshire have managed a mere 20 minutes cricket so far on day three because of heavy showers, with Derbyshire claiming their second bonus point of the match as Glamorgan stumbled to 103 for 4.

"But with more poor weather forecast, it's frustration for these two teams who've been denied even a full shot at gathering bonus points.

"Talking point of the day in Cardiff has been James Harris's nine-wicket haul at Lords, believed to be the best-ever first-class bowling performance by a Welshman!"
