Essex 542-3 dec v Middlesex 246 & 199-3
Paul Stirling goes to fifty with a bang, smashing Dan Lawrence for six from his first ball of the over.
The Irishman has batted well alongside Nick Compton. He made 77 in the first innings and has followed it with an equally important half-century in the second.
Essex 542-3 dec v Middlesex 246 & 193-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesA first County Championship hundred of the season for Nick Compton, which comes from 232 balls and has contained 12 fours and one six.
It's his 26th in first-class cricket and is a vital one for Middlesex. The away side were under the pump when Simon Harmer took three early wickets, but alongside Paul Stirling he has guided his side away from immediate danger.

I believe that might be to do with captain Ryan ten Doeschate, who was at short leg earlier and has shed his protective wear to bowl a solitary over. It's not like a five-run penalty would hurt Essex much...
Glamorgan 237 & 160-9 v Derbyshire 288 & 160

16 year-old debutant Hamidullah Qadri has continued to weave his magic for Derbyshire with a further two wickets in the second session.
Andrew Salter was palpably lbw for 9, and Graham Wagg was controversially given out caught behind for 4 to the evident displeasure of the batsman.
Marchant de Lange clubbed a quick 20 before being run-out in a mix-up, and Derbyshire are on the verge of victory.
Sussex 358-9d & 142-1d v Gloucestershire 150-1d & 104-5

Sports reporter, BBC Sussex
After two days of glowering skies the sun has made a welcome appearance on the south coast.
Sussex are working their way through the Gloucestershire middle order with skipper Phil Mustard the latest to go caught hooking at long leg by Jofra Archer off the bowling of Chris Jordan.
They need a further five wickets; Gloucestershire require another 247 runs.

Essex 542-3 dec v Middlesex 246 & 189-3
Nick Compton moves to 98, but the last four of those runs have come with fortune.
The Middlesex batsman edges Dan Lawrence past Alastair Cook at slip to the third man boundary.
Image source, Rex FeaturesNorthants 261 & 289-7 dec v Leicestershire 157 & 250-4
Northants have held a catch.
BBC Northampton commentator Alex Winter has been keeping count and reckons they've dropped five catches out there. It's taken substitute fielder Harry Adair take one, clinging on the see the back of Ned Eckersley for 42.
Leicestershire require another 144 runs. Northants need six wickets.
Hampshire 211-9 dec & 96-5 v Somerset 147
They've taken an early 'dinner' interval at the Ageas Bowl. That will start at 6.10pm, hopefully making way for some play afterwards.
It's the same deal at Trent Bridge too.
Division Two update
Four wickets for Derbyshire's Hamidullah Qadri. Unbelievable from the 16-year-old debutant!
The leg-spinner has Glamorgan all-rounder Graham Wagg caught behind and now has figures of 4-39.
Glamorgan are 135-8 and staring down the barrel chasing 212.
At Hove, Chris Jordan has just dismissed Phil Mustard to leave Gloucestershire 88-5 and in trouble.
Notts 371 & 0-0 v Kent 180 & 265
Nottinghamshire need 75 runs to beat Kent. But they can't get out there just yet as it's now raining at Trent Bridge.
Having outplayed Kent they deserve a win. This must be frustrating.
The forecast suggests light rain until at least 8pm...
Essex 542-3 dec v Middlesex 246 & 170-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesNick Compton looks in fine touch. The Middlesex man moves into the 90s with two fours off Simon Harmer.
First he clubs him over mid-on, before saving the better shot for last, creaming a full one outside off-stump through the offside. He's now 10 runs away from his first County Championship ton of the season.
Division Two update
What a debut this is turning into for Derbyshire's Afghan-born leg-spinner Hamidullah Qadri.
The 16-year-old pins Glamorgan's Andrew Salter lbw for his third wicket. Glamorgan are 122-7, still needing another 90 for victory.
Northants are shelling chances left, right and centre at Wantage Road. Colin Ackermann has gone past 50 to take Leicestershire to 225-3 in pursuit of 394 to win.
Gloucestershire are just about hanging on at Sussex. They're 77-4 with a draw or Sussex win the only realistic results now.
Notts 371 v Kent 180 & 265-9
Notts need 75 runs to win.
Adam Rouse is the last man to go, caught by Samit Patel off the bowling of Steven Mullaney, who is enjoying a wonderful purple patch with bat and ball.
The hosts have plenty of time to knock off the runs. They just need the weather to hold.
Hampshire 211-9d & 96-5 v Somerset 147
It's raining near Southampton. Sean Ervine and Ian Holland go off to the pavilion along with the Somerset fielders.
Hampshire lead by 160 runs with five wickets remaining. There are 49 overs left in theory. But will the weather allow anything other than a draw?
Essex 542-3 dec v Middlesex 246 & 156-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesWho does Essex skipper Ryan ten Doeschate turn to now?
48 overs remain - seven wickets needed.
The draw is now favourite.
Notts 371 v Kent 180 & 259-8
Adam Rouse and Mitch Claydon have seen out five overs together, seeing off James Pattinson.
Steven Mullaney is on alongside Luke Fletcher. Kent's lead is 68.
Hampshire 211-9d & 93-5 v Somerset 147
Sensible stuff from Sean Ervine and Ian Holland, who appear to be shutting up shop at the Ageas Bowl.
While both sides will want a win, the Hampshire pair are making sure they don't hand any advantage to the visitors. There are still 50 overs to be bowled today, but a draw is the most likely result with Hampshire's lead 157.
Essex 542-3 dec v Middlesex 246 & 152-3
Nick Compton and Paul Stirling have taken the wind out of Essex's sails at Chelmsford.
The experienced Middlesex duo have put on 100 runs together, with Compton on 80 not out and Stirling unbeaten on 32.
Are they going to deny Division One leaders Essex a win?

Nick Webb

Occasional spinner Wayne Madsen has been Derbyshire's hero removing both Aneurin Donald and Nick Selman in quick succession to leave the visitors poised for a much-needed victory.
Donald was caught at short-leg for 31 after a half-century stand, and Selman was stumped for 43 after falling over while repeatedly coming down the wicket to defend.
212 now seems a long way away for Glamorgan, so prepare the victory bunting in Derbyshire- it'll take something remarkable from the lower order to reverse the momentum of this game!
