Play to resume at Lord's at 15:10published at 14:58 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9
The covers have just about been removed and play will restart in around 10 minutes at Lord's.
The rain map suggests it was just a passing shower and hopefully we'll get through the rest of today unscathed.
Okay, what's the betting on a wide first up?
WICKET Clarke (lbw b Kerrigan) 20published at 14:56 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Warwickshire 219 & 196-6 v Lancashire 152
Lancashire are just about clinging on at Edgbaston. Rikki Clarke is pinned in front by spinner Simon Kerrigan.
Warwickshire's lead is 263 with just over four sessions to go. And I'd bank on Lancashire batting better second time around.

BBC Sport at Lord'sThe groundsmen are hard at work mopping up the rain off the covers as the umpires head out for an inspection.
There are clear blue skies approaching from our right and the Yorkshire fans have started to make their way back to their now rather soggy seats in the Edrich Stand.
Tim Bresnan has had plenty of time to think about getting that single run to keep the White Rose county in the title hunt.
DURHAM BOWLED OUT FOR 361published at 14:51 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Hampshire 411 v Durham 361
Durham wicketkeeper Michael Richardson is left stranded on 99 as Liam Dawson removes last man Chris Rushworth lbw for a duck.
What do Hampshire do now with a lead of just 50? Attack is probably the only option with Lancashire's chances of beating Warwickshire looking slim at Edgbaston.
If Lancashire beat Warwickshire, Hampshire are down if they don't win.
Should Middlesex give Yorkshire 350?published at 14:48 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9 - Rain stopped play
Image source, Getty ImagesOur brains are working overtime here at BBC Sport towers.
Another colleague has just suggested Middlesex should come out and bowl a wide to guarantee that Yorkshire get to 350 and are still in with a chance of winning the title.
If Yorkshire can't become champions, then I can't imagine they'd want to give Middlesex the opportunity.
Hmm, we need this rain to stop to see what's actually going to happen.
Both sides need to winpublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9 - Rain stopped play
My BBC Sport colleague Stephan Shemilt makes a very good point. With Somerset on course to beat Notts, a draw is no good for either side at Lord's.
The next couple of hours could be very interesting if the rain departs. Will we see Yorkshire chuck down a few pies to allow Middlesex to set a target?
Breakthrough at the Ageas Bowlpublished at 14:36 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Hampshire 411 v Durham 351-9
Graham Onions is caught by Tom Alsop for 38 to give Brad Wheal his fourth wicket, but is it too little too late for Hampshire?
Their lead has been cut to 60 and with Warwickshire in a strong position, leading Lancashire by 254 at Edgbaston, Hants realistically need to win to stay up.
A draw is unlikely to cut it anymore.
WICKET Moores (run out) 4published at 14:31 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Somerset 365 & 313-5 dec v Notts 138 & 54-2
Nottinghamshire are losing their heads at Taunton. It's a second run out in the space of a few minutes as Tom Moores and Michael Lumb are involved in a mix up and Peter Trego runs out Moores.
If the ciders are on ice, send one my way please. It's been thirsty work over the last couple of days!
WICKET Libby (run out) 26published at 14:25 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Somerset 365 & 313-5 dec v Notts 138 & 54-2
That's absolutely magnificent from substitute fielder Max Waller.
Tom Moores is dropped at short leg but Waller swoops at square leg from the rebound and runs out Jake Libby with a direct hit.
This rain delay at Lord's is also very good news for Somerset. A draw between Middlesex and Yorkshire coupled with victory for Chris Rogers' men would seal the title.

Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9
Yorkshire and England batsman Jonny Bairstow is feeling the heat too...
Hampshire's survival chances fadingpublished at 14:13 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Hampshire 411 v Durham 325-8
Durham pair Michael Richardson (77 not out) and Graham Onions (29 not out) have shared 60 for the ninth wicket to frustrate Hampshire. The deficit is now just 86.
If Hampshire win, they're safe, but if the game ends in a draw they need Lancashire to beat Warwickshire.
And with the Bears 167-5 against the Red Rose and leading by 234, that's looking an increasingly unlikely scenario.
WICKET Mullaney (c Trego b van der Merwe) 18published at 14:06 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Somerset 365 & 313-5 dec v Notts 138 & 48-1
One down, nine to go at Taunton. Steven Mullaney slaps Roelof van der Merwe to Peter Trego at mid on.
Don't forget, if Somerset win and the Yorkshire v Middlesex game ends in a draw, Somerset will be champions for the first time in their history.
Bad light stops playpublished at 14:03 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9
Ha, you could not make this up. The clouds have indeed rolled in and they are coming off for bad light. I think it may also be raining too.
Replays have suggested Ryan Sidebottom did get a tiny nick on that lbw shout, so it looks like a good decision from the umpire.
Lucky Ryan Sidebottom?published at 14:02 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9
Nope, it pitched in line and was hitting middle.
Unless he got an inside edge, that was plumb. How important will that decision be when the title is decided tomorrow?
Not outpublished at 14:00 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 349-9
Oh my goodness, how close is that?! Toby Roland-Jones pitches one up to Ryan Sidebottom, it clatters into his pad but the umpire shakes his head.
Did it pitch outside leg stump maybe?
Two runs needed for Yorkshirepublished at 13:57 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Middlesex 270 v Yorkshire 348-9
Tim Bresnan waits until the fourth ball of Tim Murtagh's over to steal a single and Ryan Sidebottom plays out the remaining couple of deliveries.
Two quick wickets at Edgbastonpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Warwickshire 219 & 152-5 v Lancashire 152
Lancashire take a couple of quick wickets at Warwickshire - Kyle Jarvis bowls skipper Ian Bell for 31 before Sam Hain is trapped lbw by Arron Lilley for 30 in the next over.
Warwickshire's lead is 219.

BBC Sport at Lord'sThe tension edges up with every ball that is bowled and news that rain could be around 15/20 minutes away is only adding to that.
The Yorkshire fans are applauding every run, block and near miss as Tim Bresnan and Ryan Sidebottom try desperately hard to get the final three runs they need for the fourth batting bonus point.
Leicestershire snatch amazing victorypublished at 13:49 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Leicestershire 96 & 283 beat Glamorgan 199 & 154 by 26 runs
BBC Wales' Nick Webb reports from Grace Road:
"Leicestershire pulled off an incredible victory by 26 runs as Glamorgan fell apart within sight of victory on the third afternoon.
"Four wickets fell for just one run after lunch with Clint McKay and Charlie Shreck doing the damage.
"Will Bragg with 65 was last out, hitting out at Shreck, as the Foxes ended on a high after a barren run at Grace Road."
