    Notts 487 v Yorkshire 241-4

    Finlay Bean continues on his merry way after lunch, punching a full ball from Farhan Ahmed through the covers for four.

    It probably should have been stopped, but Bean won't care.

  2. Bonus points all done & dusted in Leicesterpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time

    Leicestershire 483-7 v Glamorgan 353

    110 overs gone by and Glamorgan just took the seven Foxes wickets, so missed out on that third and final bowling bonus point.

    A 30 run partnership already for the final wicket between Logan van Beek and Ben Green as they lead by 130 runs now.

    Why has he done that?

    Just 25 runs are required by Surrey and Dom Sibley tries to launch Fateh Singh into orbit but just spoons it high into the air and Jake Libby takes a good catch.

  4. Postpublished at 13:47 British Summer Time

    Lancs 225-2 v Kent 374

    The good news at Blackpool is that the rain which forced a slightly early lunch has passed and they have started the afternoon session on time.

    After one ball from Jack Leaning to complete his interrupted over, Grant Stewart will continue at the other end.

    Ben Green scores the first run of the afternoon session off Timm van der Gugten to go to 7*.

    Logan van Beek is his partner on 14*.

    The first ball after lunch from Fateh Singh is driven to the long-on fence by Ryan Patel.

    The third delivery is smashed over mid wicket for four more runs.

    Have Surrey got somewhere to be?

  8. Resumption at Edgbastonpublished at 13:40 British Summer Time

    Warwickshire 229-3 v Somerset 498

    Craig Overton to finish his over that was interrupted by that wicket of Jacob Bethell just after 1pm.

    Ed Barnard the new batter on strike.

  9. Lunch at Northamptonpublished at 13:40 British Summer Time

    Northamptonshire 433-9 v Middlesex 413

    More than half an hour late, an extended morning session comes to an end at Wantage Road with Northamptonshire 20 runs in front.

    The home side have added 125 to their overnight 308-5, with last-wicket pair Justin Broad (68 not out) and Lloyd Pope having so far put on 83.

    Saif Zaib reached his fourth Championship century of the season before falling to Zafar Gohar, who thereby completed a five-for, and Lewis McManus was caught behind off Ryan Higgins for 71.

    It was the start of a hat-trick for Higgins, who has figures of 3-47 at the interval.

  10. Lunch at Bristolpublished at 13:36 British Summer Time

    Gloucestershire 187 & 153-2 v Derbyshire 398

    Just one wicket for Derbyshire following an hour's delay at the start of play because of the weather.

    The visitors got rid of Ollie Price, who was caught off Zak Chappell for 20, but have been held up by an unbroken stand of 81 between Cameron Bancroft and Miles Hammond.

    Bancroft has played with great discipline for his 74 not out off 162 balls and Hammond has 41 - but Gloucestershire still need another 58 to avoid an innings defeat.

    Northants 418-9 v Middlesex 413

    Justin Broad pulls Zafar Gohar to reach 50 off 65 balls and a reverse sweep to the boundary two balls later carried Northants past Middlesex's first-innings total.

    Lloyd Pope doesn't know a lot about that one from paceman Tom Helm - who has got through a lot of hard graft in this innings on an unresponsive surface - but it runs away to the right of the keeper for another boundary.

  13. Somerset sticking to 'clear plan'published at 13:23 British Summer Time

    Warwickshire 229-4 v Somerset 498 - lunch

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    A very good morning for Somerset, to pick up three wickets for only 71 on a still benign pitch.

    They came out full of resolve and with a clear plan, based on a combination of accuracy and reverse swing.

    Matt Henry was superb, frustrating his fellow Kiwi, Tom Latham, into an unwise drive and nick to the keeper, while at the other end, Tom Kohler-Cadmore took a quite brilliant catch at slip to see off Alex Davies off the bowling of Craig Overton.

    That brought Jacob Bethell to the crease, who was just getting into his stride when he tried to hook a short ball from Overton and was given out caught behind.

    In the meantime, Sam Hain had taken a nasty blow to the helmet from Migael Pretorius, without, seemingly, any lasting ill-effects.

  14. Essex 'set sights on Dawson wicket'published at 13:18 British Summer Time

    Essex 296 v Hampshire 400-6 - lunch

    Things looked promising for Essex when Simon Harmer dismissed Tilak Varma shortly after making his century early on in the day, but Hampshire have been steadily building their lead since then.

    A sixth wicket just before lunch was important for Essex, who will have their sights set on getting Liam Dawson (135*) after the interval.

    It’s been a better start to the third day for Glamorgan but Leicestershire still have the upper hand with a lead of 118 at lunch and power to add.

    Leicestershire began on 389-3 but the new ball was available in the second over, with James Harris and Timm van der Gugten quickly getting rid of nightwatchman Chris Wright for 19 and Lewis Hill for 70, both caught at slip by Colin Ingram.

    After the pyrotechnics of the Foxes' batters on day two, Glamorgan kept better control, with Ned Leonard claiming the wickets of Peter Handscomb (22) and Liam Trevaskis (25) although the home side still collected maximum bonus points with ease.

    Glamorgan may have to find a new opener for their second innings with Asa Tribe not sighted on the ground because of illness since completing his maiden century.

  16. 'Durham pay price for some loose shots'published at 13:15 British Summer Time

    Durham 327 v Sussex 361 & 0-0 - lunch

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex

    A good morning for Sussex, picking up the five remaining Durham wickets for 78 with some excellent seam bowling on a pitch offering little or no assistance .

    Gurinder Sandhu, whose debut has been slightly overshadowed by the return of Jofra Archer, led the way with three of those wickets and five overall in the innings

    Ollie Robinson picked up the other two this morning during an impressive spell, but Archer went wicketless despite bowling probably his quickest spell of the match.

    Durham didn’t help their cause with some loose shots allowing Sussex to gain a first innings lead of 34

  17. Division Two updatepublished at 13:13 British Summer Time

    Play is continuing at Wantage Road with Northants nine down against Middlesex, but the home side have just reached 400 and are only 13 runs short of first-innings parity. Justin Broad is 43 not out and that is also a 50 partnership with number 11 Lloyd Pope.

    Beccuse of the delayed start at Bristol, lunch will not be taken until 13:30 BST - Gloucestershire are 140-2, needing another 71 to make Derbyshire bat again, with Cameron Bancroft 69 not out and Miles Hammond on 33. They have added 68 together so far.

  18. rain stops play

    Rain stops play at Blackpoolpublished at 13:09 British Summer Time

    Lancashire 225-2 v Kent 374 - lunch

    Josh Bohannon pounds a ball from Jack Leaning through the covers for four at Stanley Park, but the rain arrives and the players go off for a slightly early lunch.

    The Red Rose have added 105 during the morning for the loss of nightwatcher Tom Bailey - with Luke Wells reaching his second Championship century of the season off 195 balls.

    He is 110 not out and has so far added 58 with Bohannon, who is settling in nicely on 19.

  19. Lunch at Chelmsfordpublished at 13:04 British Summer Time

    Essex 296 v Hants 400-6

    Hampshire reach 400 moments before lunch and they will be delighted with where they stand in this game.

    They lead Essex by 104 runs and with Liam Dawson well set on 135, they will fancy adding to that significantly after the interval.

  20. Lunch at Grace Roadpublished at 13:03 British Summer Time

    Leicestershire 471-7 v Glamorgan 353

    Leicestershire eventually got their maximum batting bonus points, having plenty of time to do so thanks to Sol Budinger and Rehan Ahmed's explosive centuries on day two.

    Glamorgan still chasing a third bowling bonus point that Leicestershire seem to have no intention of depriving them of by declaring with a more than hundred run lead and no more bonus points for them to grab in the last couple of overs before the 110 are up.

    107 overs bowled in this innings so far.
