Hampshire 455 v Yorkshire 231 & 258-4 (79 overs)
Australia Test batsman Peter Handscomb gives a return catch to spinner Liam Dawson, ending his 88-run stand with Gary Ballance. Jonny Bairstow is the new batsman, having made only seven in the first innings, so Yorkshire now have two England batsmen at the crease. Ballance is unbeaten on 114.
Middlesex 507-7 dec & 239-3 dec v Essex 295 & 74-2 (22.2 overs) - target 452
Another breakthrough for Middlesex as Toby Roland-Jones keeps the ball really low and Tom Westley is trapped in front.
Roland-Jones was so excited by how low the ball kept he forget to appeal, which was slightly naughty from the hosts seamer.
Arguably Essex's two best batsmen are at the crease now as teenage wonder-kid Dan Lawrence joins Alastair Cook at the crease.
Lancashire 109 & 463 (161 overs) v Somerset 278
Three wickets in successive overs bring Lancashire's second innings to an end, and the target for Somerset will be 295.
Lewis Gregory finishes things off by having Stephen Parry caught behind for 44, and that's final figures of 5-74 for the Somerset seamer, the ninth time he has taken five or more wickets in a first-class innings.
Leicestershire 420 & 247-5 (72 overs) v Glamorgan 426

BBC Wales Sport
Leicestershire were prevented from accelerated towards a declaration in the first hour as Marchant de Lange and Michael Hogan bowled tightly in cloudy conditions.
De Lange had Ned Eckersley caught at slip for 73 and Cameron Delport caught at mid-off for one, while Hogan had huge appeals against both Mark Pettini and Lewis Hill rejected.
The sixth-wicket pair eventually stepped up the run-rate as Pettini reached his 50, having taken half-an-hour to score his first run of the morning, while Hill started swinging hard at the other end.
Lancashire 109 & 461-9 (160 overs) v Somerset 278
Kyle Jarvis lasts just two balls for Lancashire, bringing last man Jimmy Anderson to the middle. The Red Rose county are 293 ahead. Will that be enough? With Jimmy's bowling at their disposal in this game, don't bet against it.
Lancashire 109 & 456-8 (159 overs) v Somerset 278
Somerset strike for the first time this morning as Lewis Gregory picks up his fourth wicket of the Lancashire second innings. Ryan McLaren is the man to go after a valuable 77-run stand with Stephen Parry, who remains on 43. Lancashire are 287 ahead.

Anyone who has watched Ian Bell over the years must surely find it incredible that he has not scored a Championship hundred since his 174 against Hampshire in the first round of matches in last year's competition. That is still the situation as he falls agonisingly short of three figures at Edgbaston.
Surrey skipper Gareth Batty brought himself on to bowl to hurry things along to the new ball and has claimed Warwickshire's most prized scalp - Bell batting for 209 minutes and hitting 10 fours.
It's a wicket maiden for the off-spinner and Warwickshire's lead is 117, with Rikki Clarke having joined Tim Ambrose at the crease.

Hampshire 455 v Yorkshire 231 & 232-3 (73 overs)
Image source, RexWhat a brilliant performance by Gary Ballance in this match, 108 in the first innings and there's another century, reached from 210 balls with a single off Liam Dawson.
It's also his third century - all against Hampshire - of the season and he is certainly rising to the challenge to maintaining his batting form despite the additional responsibility of captaining the team.
Partner Peter Handscomb appears to be in assertive mood at the other end, with three boundaries so far in his 29 not out, and Yorkshire are now eight runs ahead.
Middlesex 507-7 dec & 239-3 dec v Essex 295 & 51-1 (14 overs) - target 452
Image source, Rex FeaturesFormer England captain Alastair Cook is remaining watchful under testing conditions at Lord's as the Middlesex bowlers probe for more wickets.
A century by Cook is what Essex may need from the opener if they're going to survive the final day - a notion that has a familiar ring to it.
The brief rain delay earlier on meant two overs were lost, so there are 86 left in the day.
Lancashire 109 & 438-7 (153 overs) v Somerset 278
They're back on at Old Trafford and Ryan McLaren and Stephen Parry have posted a half-century partnership for the eighth wicket. Back-to-back fours off Craig Overton have helped Parry move on to 36 not out, with McLaren on 37. Lancashire are now 269 ahead - and I wonder whether Liam Livingstone will soon be contemplating a declaration.

Will we get a full day in Bristol? Rain is forecast from 5.00pm and it's murky at the moment. They can't turn the lights on for Championship matches here either.
Durham need early wickets but Chris Dent is continuing to thwart them and now has 71 to go with his 59 from the first innings. He's also added 46 so far with George Hankins.

No early alarms for Yorkshire at the Ageas Bowl, where Gary Ballance has advanced to 89 not out, as he looks to score his second century of the match. The White Rose county still need another 33 to avoid an innings defeat.
Middlesex 507-7 dec & 239-3 dec v Essex 295 & 38-1 (10.1 overs) - target 452
Image source, RexNick Browne's luck has run out - having been dropped on eight on Sunday evening - Tim Murtagh bowls the Essex opener through the gate.
Tom Westley joins Alastair Cook at the crease. Middlesex are using the overcast conditions to their advantage at the moment.
Leicestershire 420 & 205-5 (59 overs) v Glamorgan 426
Marchant de Lange had picked up two early wickets for the visitors at Grace Road, dismissing Ned Eckersley and Cameron Delport in successive overs.
The well-set Eckersley prodded the Glarmorgan paceman to Nick Selman in the slips for 73 and Delport departed for just one after driving straight to Lukas Carey at mid-on.
Just the start the Glamorgan bowlers would have wanted this morning if they're going to make a game of this.

Warwickshire 332 & 180-4 (62 overs) v Surrey 437
Tim Ambrose is full of beans this morning at Edgbaston, hitting three early boundaries off left-armer Sam Curran, including two from successive balls in the last over. Warwickshire now trail by 76.
Middlesex 507-7 dec & 239-3 dec v Essex 295 & 20-0 (8 overs) - target 452

Ominous signs at Lord's already and it's the umpires who are taking centre stage.
The light meters are out, it is fairly cloudy and muggy in London today and there is a little bit of rain about.
We could be in for a frustrating day for Middlesex and Essex and the players are taken off the field.
Lancashire 109 & 423-7 (150.5 overs) v Somerset 278
That's a shame, just 11 balls have been bowled and they're off at Old Trafford. Lancashire have yet to add to their overnight score - they lead by 254.
