Yorkshire 163-4 (Gale 79), Middlesex 106
Jack Leaning becomes the fourth Yorkshire man out - all of them leg before wicket - this decision going to Neil Dexter in his final County Championship appearance for Middlesex at Lord's before joining Leicestershire next season.
Skipper Andrew Gale remains at the other end, intent on a ton following his personal frustration a year ago when, having been on a two-match suspension, he was not even allowed to lift the Championship trophy.
Somerset 53-0 (Trescothick 18, Abell 33)published at 16:45

Somerset pass 50 without much alarm as Marcus Trescothick and Tom Abell trade the occasional boundary amongst the dot balls and singles in Taunton.
It is pretty slow going but Hampshire will be desperate to pick up a wicket after their afternoon collapse.

Middlesex 106 all out
Image source, Getty ImagesDelayed tea interval at Lord's as they catch up on the day's allocation of overs but finally the two Yorkshire batsmen out in the middle, skipper Andrew Gale and Alex Lees, can join their celebrating team-mates back in the away dressing room.
With Lees having gone in the last over before the break, Gale will be the happier of the two having reached his half century with his ninth boundary, rapidly followed by his 10th.
BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand at Lord's:
"Middlesex were all out for 106 just after lunch when Ryan Sidebottom claimed his fifth wicket, three of which had come in the first over of the day.
"But the leaden skies have now cleared though and the sun has been out for most of the Yorkshire innings, in which skipper Andrew Gale has reached an unbeaten fifty."
Somerset 31-0 (Trescothick 18, Abell 11)published at 16:15

Quote MessageRyan Sidebottom, what a stunning first over that was. The leaders set the right example, set the right tone. Yorkshire have got some outstanding performers and you've got to admire what they've done in the last couple of seasons.

Tea - Kent 259-4 v Glamorganpublished at 15:48
BBC Radio Wales Sport's Nick Webb at Cardiff:
"Kent's two skippers, county captain Rob Key (94) and first team-captain Sam Northeast (56*), dominated the afternoon session in Cardiff.
"Key became one of three wickets for David Lloyd just six short of a ton, while Northeast also reached his half-century before being dropped twice in the same over, but the batsmen rattled along at four runs an over to leave the visitors well placed to take maximum batting bonus points."
