It looks like we're going to get some play in Durham...

And, last but not least, Warwickshire reached 312-6 at lunch, with Tim Ambrose (25 not out) and Rikki Clarke (four not out) doing the business.

The Bears still trail the Tykes by 67 runs on first innings, as this game looks to be trundling to an inevitable stalemate.

Gloucestershire 380 & 357-6 v Worcestershire

As our lunchtime sweep around the grounds continues, BBC Hereford & Worcester's Dave Bradley reports from Bristol, where we have another centurion:

"An excellent morning for Gloucestershire as Chris Dent and Jack Taylor helped themselves to some at-times ragged Worcestershire bowling.

"Dent the more sedate, while Taylor after a quiet start played some expansive shots.

"Taylor smashed Moeen Ali for six to go to his run-a-ball century, after the England spinner had conceded 21 runs in one over.

"The game is now in Gloucestershire’s hands, as to when they will declare and set Worcestershire a target."

Having carried on through the early part of lunch in search of a result, the players have now been forced off following a downpour.

Richard Gleeson (13 not out) and Rory Kleinveldt (23 not out) have dug in well for Northants but, as I mentioned earlier, the afternoon forecast still doesn't suggest the weather can save the visitors.

Durham 295-4 v Middlesex 389

It looks like, for the first time since day one, we may actually end up with all seven matches in play simultaneously...

They've also nipped in for a bite to eat at Grace Road, where Neil Dexter's unbeaten 122 has taken Leicestershire to 287-4 against Kent, a first-innings advantage of 23 runs.

Surrey head to lunch on 104-3, with Kumar Sangakkara (39 not out) and England one-day opener Jason Roy (18 not out) stretching their lead out to 214.

BBC Somerset's Stephen Lamb has the latest for us:

"Yesterday’s batting heroes Craig Overton and Lewis Gregory each struck with the new ball early on, Gregory having Arun Harinath caught behind by Ryan Davies for 10, before Rory Burns (six) fell in identical fashion to Overton. 

"A third-wicket partnership of 53 between Kumar Sangakkara and Steven Davies ensued, before Davies (26) provided his Somerset namesake with his first stumping in first-class cricket.

"A flurry of boundaries from Jason Roy saw him to lunch unbeaten on 18, with Sangakkara adding 39 to his first-innings 171."

They've reached lunch at Derby, where BBC Radio Wales' Nick Webb has been watching:

"Glamorgan lost James Kettleborough (20) and Will Bragg (10) cheaply in their second innings as Luke Fletcher and Wes Durston claimed a wicket each.

"Derbyshire need quick wickets to have any chance of forcing a result with Glamorgan already leading by 79, especially with the weather conditions threatening again."

Well played, Richard Gleeson.

The 28-year-old has just moved on to a personal best first-class score of seven - which included only the second four of his entire career.

Northants trail by 111, Essex need two wickets for victory. Here's BBC Radio Northampton's Alex Winter's assessment:

“For the first hour Northamptonshire were steadily getting stuck into the day with Adam Rossington and nightwatchman Azharullah batting out over 16 overs without alarm.

“But Essex captain Ryan ten Doeschate has decided to do the business himself and has taken three wickets, including Rossington and Azharullah - the latter after 114 minutes' resistance.

“Little else now to deny Essex a second win of the season and a handy lead at the top of the Division Two table."

England all-rounder Moeen Ali sounds like he's had an opening over to forget down in Bristol, where Jack Taylor (83 not out) and Chris Dent (113 not out) have moved their seventh-wicket stand on to 122.

It's been slow and steady at Derby, where Glamorgan have moved on to 38-1 in their second innings, a lead of 70. James Kettleborough is the only wicket to fall, bowled by Luke Fletcher for 20.

Hopefully I'm not being too unkind to suggest a few of these matches are just going through the motions a bit now, with little prospect of a positive result on the last day.

Leicestershire 250-4 v Kent 264

Like Mark Cosgrove before him, Neil Dexter reaches three figures as Leicestershire continue to hunt down Kent's first-innings 264.

They've now taken two of the five available batting points.

There will now be another inspection at 13:00 BST at Chester-le-Street, although there's no news yet regarding lunch. Perhaps they'll just decide to knock it on the head there and then.

Either way, there are interviews with Nick Compton and Toby Roland-Jones coming up for you to enjoy, so don't move a muscle.

Gloucestershire 380 & 285-6 v Worcestershire 411

It's not all been about Chris Dent at Bristol this morning, as his partner Jack Taylor brings up his 50. This partnership, a draw-ensuring one by the looks of things, is now worth 81.
