Yorkshire 273 & 187 v Hampshire 141 & 275-6
Ben Coad bowls a super over to Lewis McManus, but gets no luck at all.
The young seamer twice finds the edge of the wicketkeeper, the second of which goes to the third-man boundary.
45 needed with 10 overs remaining tonight. But they may take the extra half-hour.
Essex 159 & 74-2 v Lancashire 319 & 317-3 dec
Dan Lawrence and Tom Westley have steadied things for Essex after openers Nick Browne and Varun Chopra went in quick succession.

Surrey 454 v Warwickshire 91 & 289-6
What a crucial innings from Keith Barker.
The Warwickshire all-rounder brings up his half-century with a four off Mark Footitt.
The Bears are inching towards making Surrey bat again. The deficit is 74.
Yorkshire 273 & 187 v Hampshire 141 & 263-6
What a catch by Tim Bresnan!
Liam Dawson gets a leading edge and the big seamer leaps forward and just about gets his left-hand underneath it.
Dawson looks to the heavens but is on his way. You never, ever, write Yorkshire off.
Surrey 454 v Warwickshire 91 & 282-6
How many times have we seen this over the last few seasons? Warwickshire's lower order are digging in.
Jonathan Trott and Keith Barker bring up their century stand for the seventh wicket.
Barker is such an important cog in the Warwickshire machine - the all-rounder is up to 47.
Trott is ticking along on 123.

68 runs for Hampshire; five wickets needed for Yorkshire.
Where's your money? Batting is suddenly looking much more difficult as Ben Coad nips one past Liam Dawson's outside edge. Super delivery.
Yorkshire 273 & 187 v Hampshire 141 & 252-5
That brings the game alive again!
Tim Bresnan SCREAMS in celebration as he tempts Rilee Rossouw to nick behind.
It was a super innings from the South African, but it's a huge blow for Hampshire.
Lewis McManus is the new man in - 68 more still needed for Hants.

Sean: Come on @LancsCCC, external let's get this season off to a great start!
Image source, Rex FeaturesSean would no doubt like a few more images similar to this one - Essex opener Varun Chopra losing his off-stump to Ryan McLaren.

That's some prediction from BBC Northampton's cricket commentator Alex Winter, but it was certainly a bit of a shambles this afternoon from Gloucestershire.
Yorkshire 273 & 187 v Hampshire 141 & 242-4
Wow - Rilee Rossouw hits Tim Bresnan for back-to-back boundaries and Liam Dawson follows it up with two more fours at the start of Ben Coad's next over.
The target is suddenly down to 78. Dawson and Rossouw are looking magnificent.
Surrey 454 v Warwickshire 91 & 255-6
Jonathan Trott (116) and Keith Barker's (27) seventh-wicket stand is now worth 74.
But the deficit is still a problem - 108 needed to make Surrey bat again.
Essex 159 & 52-2 v Lancashire 319 & 317-3 dec
Count the cartwheels Varun Chopra's off stump takes. I make it four...

Another one gone at Essex.
This time Varun Chopra is bowled by the skiddy Ryan McLaren.
Like his fellow opener Nick Browne, he got in and got out - not ideal when you're trying to bat four sessions to save the game.
I really need to learn how to spell Rilee Rossouw. Apologies if any of the Rossouw family are reading.
Yorkshire 273 & 187 v Hampshire 141 & 225-4
Milestone at Headingley.
Hampshire are now just 95 shy of their 320 target with six wickets in hand.
Rilee Rossouw (35 not out) and Liam Dawson (17 not out) are looking composed, despite the now-gloomy conditions in Leeds.
Essex 159 & 43-1 v Lancashire 319 & 317-3 dec
Essex opener Nick Browne won't want to see this shot again...

Essex 159 & 40-1 v Lancashire 319 & 317-3 dec
There's one.
Lancashire spinner Stephen Parry, who did the damage in Essex's first innings, is at it again but it's an absolute gift.
Nick Browne smacks a long-hop straight down the throat of Haseeb Hameed in the leg side after doing all the hard work to get a start.
The highly-rated Tom Westley comes to the crease needing to play one of the innings of his life.
Kent 298 & 246 beat Gloucestershire 149 & 61 by 334 runs

It has been a remarkable day in Canterbury.
13 wickets would normally do you for two full days of County Championship cricket, but the members here were treated to it between lunch and tea today.

Kent bowler Darren Stevens' 6-22 was the highlight of Gloucestershire's meagre second-innings total, his coach Matt Walker just described the 40-year-old as "like a fine wine, getting better with age."
All the talk going into this opening match of the season was whether Kent were promotion contenders.
A 334-run win today, while not answering that question, heavily implies they could be.
Yorkshire 273 & 187 v Hampshire 141 & 212-4

No need to apologise, I'm the master of bad jokes.
Yorkshire get the new ball in six overs - they'd love another wicket before then.
Surrey 454 v Warwickshire 91 & 232-6
With 16,750 first-class runs under his belt, Jonathan Trott is certainly doing something right!
