Essex 227 & 309-6 v Yorkshire 111
Image source, Rex FeaturesSimon Harmer has a second fifty of the match for county champions Essex, although Ryan ten Doeschate (57) is now out.
The lead is 427 - Essex are going to go a whole season unbeaten barring a miraculous chase by Yorkshire.
Warwickshire 188 & 127-9 v Hampshire 116
Fidel Edwards gets the ball through Oliver Hannon-Dalby's defences and bowls him.
Warwickshire's lead is currently 199, with Ian Bell still there unbeaten on 31.
Worcestershire 335 & 46-1 v Durham 208
Worcesteshire are building a very hand lead over Durham in their bid to seal the Division Two title.
Daryl Mitchell (21*) and Tom Fell (17*) are looking relatively untroubled with the advantage now standing at 173.
Worcestershire secured their promotion this morning once Northants were out for 202.
Leicestershire 128 & 127-3 v Northants 202
Northants' chances of promotion are slipping away.
Leicestershire's lead is up to 53, although they will be boosted by that wicket of Chris Read at Hove.
It could still go either way, but I'd fancy Notts as favourites right now.
Somerset 236 & 250-9 dec v Middlesex 142 & 40-3
The rain arrives right on cue.
The players scurry off. If the forecast is correct, that could be it for the day.

Commentator's curse!
Chris Read departs as he is caught on the deep mid-wicket boundary by Phil Salt off Jofra Archer.
The Nottinghamshire captain heads off to a standing ovation, having shared a 242-run sixth-wicket partnership with Billy Root (114 not out).
Sussex 565 v Nottinghamshire 307-5
Chris Read (124 not out) is batting Nottinghamshire to promotion at Hove.
The visitors need only draw their match against Sussex to return to Division One next season.
What a way to go out for the 39-year-old wicketkeeper in his final first-class match.

They heard me!
Chris Wright is inexplicably run out by George Bailey as Ian Bell pushes for a single.
Oliver Hannon-Dalby hits his first ball for four, how many more runs can Hampshire afford to allow the final two batsmen make?
Lancashire 268 v Surrey 201-8 dec & 222-7
Gareth Batty could be the perfect partner for Kumar Sangakkara.
The Surrey skipper pulls Stephen Parry over the rope for a maximum and is already up to 22.
Sanga is ticking along nicely on 28 in his final innings.
Warwickshire 188 & 114-7 v Hampshire 116
The Hampshire camp will undeniably be keeping across goings on at Taunton.
Their task is getting harder with every extra run Warwickshire make as the hosts' lead goes to 186 now.
Somerset 236 & 250-9 dec v Middlesex 142 & 28-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesBIG WICKET!
Somerset spinner Dom Bess gets a ball to spit at England batsman Dawid Malan and he nicks it behind.
Middlesex's second innings is in tatters already.
Somerset 236 & 250-9 dec v Middlesex 142 & 28-2
Leachy was certainly happy with his second wicket - pinning Nick Compton lbw.
He's surely the key to Somerset's survival?

Thanks for tuning in!
Somerset 236 & 250-9 dec v Middlesex 142 & 27-2
Jack Leach ROARS in celebration! Nick Compton is gone.
The Somerset spinner fires one in on the Middlesex opener's pads and he's given out.
Somerset need eight more wickets for survival - Middlesex require another 318 runs to ensure their safety.
Warwickshire 188 & 95-7 v Hampshire 116
... Chris Wright just keeps out Kyle Abbott.
Warwickshire's lead is 167 and you would think Hampshire will think they can chase anything below 200.
Lancashire 268 v Surrey 201-8 dec & 200-7
Image source, Rex FeaturesKumar Sangakkara is back out at Old Trafford to resume his final first-class innings, his Surrey skipper Gareth Batty alongside him.
Gazza will stick around surely?
Warwickshire 188 & 95-7 v Hampshire 116
Immediate breakthrough after lunch!
Kyle Abbott bowls Jeetan Patel the first ball after the break.
The seamer is on a hat-trick...
Somerset 236 & 250-9 dec v Middlesex 142 & 21-1
They're back out at Taunton after lunch, but I'm not sure for how long.
There's a HUGE mass of rain heading in from the west.
Nick Compton and Stevie Eskinazi are the Middlesex batsmen, Roelof van der Merwe has the ball in his hand.

Nick Webb
BBC Wales Sport
Glamorgan have made a good start chasing a moderate target of 189 with young openers Nick Selman and Connor Brown putting together a 50 partnership, though Brown was dropped at slip on 15 off Callum Haggett.
With the sun out, they look favourites to record a third win of the season.
Glamorgan captain Michael Hogan, who reached 500 first-class wickets last night, followed up with two more this morning.
That gave him career-best match figures of 10-87 and fifty Championship wickets for the season, while Lukas Carey snapped up two as Kent were bundled out for 115.
