Essex 385 v Gloucestershire 262 & 136-6
Gloucestershire captain Gareth Roderick brings up his second half-century of the match after his unbeaten 88 in the first innings.
Determined stuff from the skipper as he looks to give his side some sort of total to try and defend.
They currently lead by 13 runs.

Essex 385 v Gloucestershire 262 & 124-6
BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Bob Hunt at Chelmsford:
"Although it's hard to say Gloucestershire are batting well, they've been unlucky. Kieran Noema-Barnett was undone by a real daisy cutter from Ravi Bopara.
"But hope springs eternal - at least Essex will have to bat again."
Roy dealing in boundariespublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 12 April 2016
Nottinghamshire 446 v Surrey 225 & 189-3
I'm not sure Jason Roy likes running.
After making 28 - all in boundaries - in Surrey's first innings, Roy is now 17 not out with four fours.
So by my maths, that's one single.
He needs to go on though - Surrey still trail by 28 runs.

I wasn't going to start a 'Should Ian Bell be in the England side?' debate, but since you asked Rick...
Bell is currently 87 not out for Warwickshire.

Although there's not a lot to be unhappy about at Chelmsford for the home side - they could wrap up victory this afternoon.

WICKET Sangakkara (c Read b Ball 83)published at 16:39 British Summer Time 12 April 2016
Nottinghamshire 446 v Surrey 225 & 167-2
There will be no century for Kumar Sangakkara as he edges Jake Ball behind for 83.
Note it down - Sangakkara has failed to convert a fifty into a ton - a rare moment.

"Ian Bell (78* off 157 balls) seemed happy to make sure he didn't lose his wicket.
