  1. Still waiting to get going at Chester-le-Street

    Northamptonshire (338 & 44-1) need 161 more runs to beat Durham (166 & 376)

    They were due to have a 14:15 BST inspection at Chester-le-Street but the rain keeps coming back there.

    Frustration continues for the visitors in their quest to knock off 205...

  2. wicket

    WICKET Fletcher (lbw b Taylor) 1

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 326-9 v Derbyshire 363

    Tom Taylor is on fire!

    He picks up his third wicket in 13 balls, and his fourth in the innings, as he traps Luke Fletcher lbw for just a single.

    Nottinghamshire lead by 192 runs. Will Derbyshire come out swinging knowing there is more rain to come?

  3. 50 runs

    Chris Read reaches his half-century

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 325-8 v Derbyshire 363

    Nottinghamshire wicketkeeper Chris Read has been made to wait but he finally reaches half-century off just 60 balls with five fours and a six.

    It has been a vital and very well timed innings and may well prove a match-saving knock.

  4. Whiteley departs for Worcestershire

    Sussex 579-8 dec v Worcestershire 312 & 237-8

    Moments after reaching his half-century, Ross Whiteley is caught behind off David Wiese for 53.

    The visitors are still 30 runs behind with just two wickets remaining. Will the hosts be forced to bat again at Hove?

  5. rain stops play

    Rain stops play at Ageas Bowl

    Hampshire 515 v Warwickshire 254 & 155-8 f/o

    Agonising stuff for Hampshire moments after taking Warwickshire's eighth wicket.

    The umpires have decided there's a heavy enough shower to take the players off.

    But for how long?

  6. wicket

    WICKET Wood (c Hughes b Taylor) 0

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 325-8 v Derbyshire 363

    Tom Taylor strikes again! Luke Wood's attempted hook only ends in the ball nestling in Alex Hughes' hands.

  7. Phew...a flurry of wickets after lunch and Warwickshire and Worcestershire are both on the cusp of big defeats.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Thornton (lbw b Crane) 9

    Hampshire 515 v Warwickshire 254 & 154-8 f/o

    Hampshire made the ideal start to the afternoon session in their bid to wrap up victory before the showers.

    Grant Thornton is squared up by Mason Crane's leg spin and is trapped leg before on his back foot.

    Hampshire need two more wickets to complete an innings win.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Hutton (b Taylor) 11

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 321-7 v Derbyshire 363

    Derbyshire take just 2.5 overs to take the first of four wickets they desperately need to push towards victory as Brett Hutton is bowled by Tom Taylor.

    Is there enough time left in the match for the visitors to chase down the target they'll be set?

    Notts are currently 187 runs ahead at Trent Bridge.

  10. wicket

    WICKET Barnard (c Burgess b van Zyl) 21

    Sussex 579-8 dec v Worcestershire 312 & 207-7

    Just the start Sussex would have wanted with rain on the way!

    Stiaan van Zyl has Ed Barnard caught behind for a hard fought 21.

    Three wickets needed for an impressive innings victory for the hosts at Hove.

  11. Back under way after lunch

    The players have made their way back out to the middle to start after lunch at Lord's, Hove and in Southampton.

    Play has just begun at Trent Bridge too, 63 overs to play, with tea at 15:25 BST. More rain is due but lets see how many over we get in there.

    There will also be an inspection at Chester-le-Street at 14:15 BST.

  12. Rain ruining Derbyshire's chance

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 313-6 v Derbyshire 363

    It's so typical of cricket that you're waiting since 2015 to win your first County Championship match and the rain all but ruins your chances.

    I can't imagine the Derbyshire players are feeling too positive about their chances getting back out at Trent Bridge after a superb three days when they put the hosts under huge pressure.

  13. Thanks Adam. I'm hoping I can bring as much cricket on this first day as you got through in the morning!

    So long as the rain stays away we could be in for some exciting finishes.

  14. Right then, time for me to hand over the reins here for the afternoon session to Kalika Mehta.

    Hopefully, the rain that's so far stayed away from London and the south coast continues to do so and we get some positive results...

  15. It's raining again!

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 313-6 v Derbyshire 363

    Well, they were hoping to get under way finally on the last day at Trent Bridge at 13:10 BST, but the rain has returned in Nottingham....

  16. Bangladesh win toss

    Australia v Bangladesh (13:30 BST)

    At the Champions Trophy, we've got our first floodlit game of the tournament coming up from 13:30 BST.

    Bangladesh have won the toss at The Oval and will bat first against Australia in the Group A match.

  17. dropped catch

    Hold your catches!

    Sussex 579-8 dec v 312 & 207-6 (f/o)

    Adrian Harms
    Sports reporter, BBC Sussex at Hove

    HoveBBC Sport

    Terrific rearguard action from Ed Barnard and Ross Whiteley who have batted for 25 overs with skill and determination adding 79 runs, on an increasingly difficult pitch of variable bounce.

    The deficit is now just 60 runs at the lunch interval, but Whiteley has been dropped twice both at second slip, and both by the Sussex skipper Chris Nash, and with rain forecast this afternoon those could be vital misses.

  18. Lunch time scores

    Division One:

    Hampshire (515) lead Warwickshire (254 & 141-7 f/o) by 120 runs

    Middlesex (358-9) trail Somerset (443-9 dec & 16-1) by 101 runs

    Division Two:

    Northamptonshire (338 & 44-1) need 161 more runs to beat Durham (166 & 376)- No play possible before lunch on day four.

    Nottinghamshire (229 & 313-6) lead Derbyshire (363) by 179 runs- No play possible before lunch on day four.

    Sussex (579-8 dec) lead Worcestershire (312 & 207-6 f/o) by 60 runs

  19. That's lunch

    ....well, in three of our five games it is after they almost managed to get through the morning without any interruptions.

    We'll bring you a summary of the scorecards shortly.

  20. 13:10 BST restart at Trent Bridge

    Nottinghamshire 229 & 313-6 v Derbyshire 363

    Rain has stopped in Nottingham and the covers are off.

    They'll hope to resume at 13:10 BST after an early lunch break and 24 overs have been deducted from the day's play.

    Notts lead by 179 runs with four second-innings wickets in hand.
