A team winning a match after being bowled out for 50 in their first innings - impossible. Well, no it isn't because that's exactly what Yorkshire did in beating champions Essex by 91 runs at Chelmsford.

There were also wins for Warwickshire and Kent today in Division Two, leaving five games ongoing for Bank Holiday Monday cricket fans to follow.

After several days dominated by bowlers this season, the batsmen hit back with three-figure scores for England's Dawid Malan, Keaton Jennings, Joe Clarke, Steven Mullaney and Nick Gubbins - but Dane Vilas outshone them all with 235 for Lancashire, the first double century of the summer.

We'll be back with you at 10:30 tomorrow to bring you coverage of the final day's play. Thanks for your company.

Hashim Amla (11 not out) and nightwatchman Chris Wood (13 not out) reach the close as the latter edges Stuart Broad's penultimate delivery through the slips for four streaky runs before clipping the last one for another boundary.

The end of a great day for Nottinghamshire. Three wickets have seen Hampshire slide from 82-0 to finish on 111-3, needing a nominal 358 runs to win.

Notts will need a further seven wickets for victory tomorrow.

Worcestershire avoid further loss following Joe Clarke's departure for 157 and end day three at the Oval with a 35-run lead.

The visitors scored 334 runs in the day, despite losing Daryl Mitchell early for 81, as Surrey's bowlers had to toil long and hard for the other four wickets they managed to take. Spinner Amar Virdi was perhaps the pick, sending down 33 overs for figures of 2-78.

Ed Barnard is 42 not out and Ben Twohig has four, with a draw surely the most likely result.

Steven Davies and Matt Renshaw leave the pitch unbeaten, despite a big lbw appeal from Matt Parkinson in the final over.

What a day for Dane Vilas.

Nightwatchman Danny Briggs does his job well to limit the damage. He and Stiaan van Zyl will resume tomorrow morning with Sussex needing a further 195 runs to win.

After only managing to add 42 to their overnight 142-7 and being asked to follow-on by Leicestershire, the second half of day three has certainly belonged to Durham.

South African import Aiden Markram looked set for a century before being adjudged lbw for 94, but Cameron Steel (79) and Will Smith (43) have put on 81 in 28 overs to leave their side just 23 runs short of making the visitors bat again.

One team or the other is going to have to play very badly on the final day if this one isn't going to end in a draw, but given the results of both over the past season and a bit, you never know.

Joe Clarke has picked up pace since reaching three figures. After three fours in an over off Stuart Meaker (see 5:27 entry), he did the same when leg-spinner Scott Borthwick came into the attack, the first two low full tosses which were whipped away through mid-wicket.

Another boundary, stroked through the covers off Ravi Patel's medium pace, brought up Clarke's 150 off 271 balls. Well batted indeed.

Matt Renshaw dabs a single to take a first run off Tom Bailey after four successive maidens.

Jimmy Anderson (with his bleach-blonde hair) is still wicketless bowling from the other end.

Not a lot to report from Old Trafford, where Matt Renshaw is opening with Steven Davies in the absence of Marcus Trescothick, who has a broken toe.

Somerset are therefore a batsman down.

Aiden Markram fell earlier for 94, agonising for a man who had three ducks in a row prior to finding his mojo. But he and Cameron Steel gave Durham a platform to get back into this game with some stubborn batting.

Now Will Smith and Steel have added 54 for the second wicket Durham are only 50 behind as they follow-on. It is their highest score of the season as well.

But why did they bat so badly in the first innings on a track which was sedate at best? It just goes to show the biggest distance in sport is often between the ears.

From a Leicestershire point of view their men have now been in the field for 137 overs in the heat of Chester-le-Street.

No doubt if Durham save this one people will suggest Leicestershire should not have enforced the follow-on but I think they were right to do it at the time because Durham were in a mess. Even now the hosts still have a massive amount of work to do to save this.

Nottinghamshire 302 & 389-9d v Hampshire 223 & 75-0 (30 overs)

A maiden County Championship half-century for Joe Weatherley who pulls Harry Gurney for four to move to 53 not out from 110 balls.

A solid start for Hampshire at Trent Bridge.

Stuart Meaker tries his luck from round the wicket for Surrey. He bangs the first one in half-way down and Joe Clarke helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary.

The next ball is almost identical, and although Clarke doesn't make as clean a contact, the end result is the same.

Meaker tries a fuller length to end the over and Clarke drills it through mid-on for four more as he reaches 129 not out. He and Ed Barnard have now added 78 for the sixth wicket.
