Surrey draw with Hampshire
Surrey 329 & 137-2 v Hampshire 582-9 dec
Apologies for those interested in events at The Oval, but we are now at the 'business end' of the games at Headingley and Trent Bridge, hence my focus on them. Anyway, Kumar Sangakkara and Arun Harinath are still together for Surrey, who need another 116 to make Hampshire bat again.

Yorkshire 460 & 225-2 dec v Durham 265 & 149-8
For the first time in my life, I feel like Britney Spears. Oops I did it again for another Durham batsman.
However, Michael Richardson only has himself to blame for playing at a wide one from Ryan Sidebottom and edging it into the slip cordon.
Just two wickets needed now for Yorkshire.
Believe me, David, if I actually was bowling at Headingley, I can absolutely guarantee Durham would get a draw out of this game - in fact they'd probably win it.
Yorkshire 460 & 225-2 dec v Durham 265 & 149-7
A very handy partnership is developing for Durham between Michael Richardson (33 not out) and Ryan Pringle (25) - I hope that isn't the kiss of death for them - but resisting Yorkshire's powerful attack for another 50 odd overs is a huge task.
The weather forecast for Leeds suggests there may be rain later in the day - but it's unlikely to arrive in time to help the visitors.
Nottinghamshire 241 & 240 v Middlesex 257 & 164-5
No major alarms for Middlesex immediately after lunch. It's 23 overs until the new ball is due, so Notts have to find a way to get the job done with the old one. Jake Ball is one wicket short of a five-for, but James Franklin hits two successive fours off him to bring the runs-required figure down to 71.
The players are out again at Trent Bridge, Headingley and The Oval for the afternoon session.
Notts against Middlesex could go either way - much like arm-wrestling, it's a test of strength now.
Yorkshire will be looking to wrap things up against Durham, requiring three more wickets, while the visitors have a minimum of 64 overs to survive if they are to escape with a draw.
Surrey are also looking to bat out time against Hampshire, who need to force a victory to improve their chances to escaping relegation.
It should be, like Steve Davis' Spittin' Image nickname, very 'Interesting'.
(That's the real Steve below, not the puppet - I wonder if he likes cricket? If he does, as an Essex boy, he must be very happy at the moment)
Yorkshire 460 & 225-2 dec v Durham 265 & 129-7 - lunch
Martin Emmerson
BBC Newcastle
"Durham have managed to drag this out beyond lunch on the final day, but for a period this morning it looked like they wouldn't last an hour.
"Resuming on 39-3 and chasing an impossible 421, they lost three wickets for 14 runs in the space of six overs, all to the left-arm bowling of Ryan Sidebottom.
"Nightwatchman Graham Onions perished on his 34th birthday as he drove to Gary Ballance in the covers, while Scott Borthwick and Paul Collingwood both went lbw, with the latter not offering a shot to an inswinger.
"At lunch Durham are 129-7 and seemingly not long for this world as Yorkshire time their title challenge perfectly. The gulf in class between these two sides has been remarkable in this game."

Having removed Dominic Sibley, Hampshire are unable to pick up another wicket in the final pre-lunch overs at The Oval - but they are still very much in with a chance of victory. Kumar Sangakkara is 28 not out and getting rid of the Sri Lankan would be a major boost to their chances.

Image source, GettyTerrible moment for Middlesex as a mix-up between the batsmen sees a sprawling Nick Compton beaten by Jake Libby's throw. The visitors need 89 to win - but that wicket will breathe new life into Notts. Compton batted for almost three and a quarter hours, faced 171 balls and hit six fours.
Yorkshire 460 & 225-2 dec v Durham 265 & 112-7
Graham Clark and Michael Richardson kept Yorkshire at bay for 18 overs, adding 49 to the Durham total, but Clark has gone and Yorkshire are just three wickets away from victory.
Surrey 329 & 91-2 v Hampshire 582-9 dec
Oh dear, Dominic Sibley becomes the latest batsman to succumb to 'text commentator's curse' (see 11:09 entry below) as he is taken down the leg-side by wicketkeeper Lewis McManus. That's a very important breakthrough by Brad Wheal with only a few minutes to go before lunch. Surrey still trail by 160.
Nottinghamshire 241 & 240 v Middlesex 247 & 132-4
Image source, Getty ImagesNick Compton reaches fifty off 155 balls with a boundary off Imran Tahir. The last time he did so in a Championship game he went on to three figures and if he does the same here, it will go a long way towards Middlesex winning the game. They need another 103.
Surrey 329 & 72-1 v Hampshire 582-9 dec
Where does the time go? I can't believe it's three years since Dominic Sibley became the youngest player to score a double century in the County Championship.
He has yet to reach three figures so far this season, but is playing a very responsible innings for Surrey this morning and has moved on to 37 not out, with Kumar Sangakkara on 12 at the other end. They are still 181 in arrears, though.

After prompting the downfall of Durham's Graham Onions and Paul Collingwood with my words earlier this morning, I will not attempt to comment on the current situation.
Tim Bresnan is now bowling for Yorkshire and Graham Clark and Michael Richardson are the two batsmen.
One bit of good news for Durham, though, as England all-rounder Ben Stokes signs a one-year contract extension. Read the full story here.

Still no joy for Notts at Trent Bridge and leg-spinner Imran Tahir has now been brought into the attack. Nick Compton has moved on to 38 not out for Middlesex. It's been a tough summer for the England batsman, but if he guides his side home today, it'll certainly be a day to remember for him.
Stevie Eskinazi hits a boundary to end Harry Gurney's latest over and the visitors now require another 153 for victory.

Meanwhile, 200 miles south of Headingley a wicket has fallen in the Surrey v Hampshire game, with Rory Burns, on 18, edging a catch to Tom Alsop from the bowling of left-arm spinner Liam Dawson. An important breakthrough for Hampshire, with Surrey still requiring another 200 to avoid an innings defeat
Yorkshire 460 & 225-2 dec v Durham 265 & 63-6
No sooner have I mentioned Paul Collingwood's crucial role as a batsman, than his role changes to simply looking downcast as he trudges back to the dressing room after being trapped in front offering no stroke. That's Ryan Sidebottom's third wicket of the morning and at this rate, Yorkshire will have things wrapped up by lunch.
