Essex all out! And they lead by one run.

After three fours and a six, Neil Wagner holes out to Alex Davies at deep midwicket to give Tom Bailey his fourth wicket of the innings - for the third time this season.

Lunch still at 1.30. So the Lancs openers still have three or four overs to face before an end can be brought to this extended morning session of 81 runs, four wickets, not to mention two rapid response vehicles, an ambulance and a helicopter landing on the outfield.

Essex 302-9 (83.4 overs) v Lancashire 301

Lancashire old boy Neil Wagner hits the first six of the match at Old Trafford.

That is then followed by Sam Cook hitting a boundary which earns Essex a third batting point - and the lead.

In the fourth over with the new ball, Essex are flourishing.

Former Sussex batsman Chris Nash hasn't had the greatest start to life as a Nottinghamshire player, but he has his highest Championship score of the summer as he moves into the 30s at Taunton. Samit Patel is on 17 at the other end and they are just 34 away from ensuring Somerset have to bat again.

Essex's last pair of Sam Cook and Lancs old boy Neil Wagner now proving rather irritating to the hosts. Especially as lunch has been put back to 1.30.

It was already destined to be 10 minutes late in an attempt to squeeze in the extra eight allotted overs in the day caused by rain yesterday.

But the earlier unscheduled appearance of the air ambulance to attend to a male spectator who had fallen ill has added a further 20-minute delay to the caterers' schedule.

Hope it's salad for lunch - and not something that will spoil.

Northants skipper Alex Wakely is run out for 74 as his side lose their last three wickets for four runs. Leicestershire will need 217 for a second successive Championship win. Can anyone remember when that last happened? Over-confidence is unlikely to be a problem, as they will no doubt recall being bowled out 101, chasing just 148 to beat Durham back in May.

Durham 96 & 256-7 (76 overs) v Derbyshire 205

Gareth Harte reaches a half-century in only his second first-class match off 120 balls with a single from the bowling of Matt Critchley. Given the overall match situation, this has been an excellent innings and his stand of 97 with Nathan Rimmington (39*) has given Durham something to defend in the fourth innings. They lead by 147.

Glamorgan 220 & 139-3 v Warwickshire 250

A half century on his Glamorgan debut for Australian Test batsman Usman Khawaja.

Having so far put on 44 with Ryan Morgan, the visitors now lead by 109.

Jamie Porter keeps out a first-ball yorker from Tom Bailey, then goes to the fired-up Lancs seamer's very next delivery.

Three LBW decisions in 15 balls for Bailey. And all apparently pretty adjacent.

25 Championship wickets now for him this season - just shading fellow Lancs pacemen Graham Onions, who has 22, and Joe Mennie (19).

A second LBW decision for the morning for Tom Bailey as Adam Wheater finally goes for 41, having enjoyed several close shaves yesterday. The first was being dropped before he had scored by Keaton Jennings.

Durham 96 & 236-7 (71 overs) v Derbyshire 205

Derbyshire's Alfie Gleadall goes off with a sore shoulder three deliveries after giving away six no-balls. Matt Critchley completes the over. Gareth Harte (42) and Nathan Rimmington (30) have so far added 78 for Durham's eighth wicket and they now lead by 127. There have been 57 extras in this innings.

A first wicket of the day for Lancashire as Simon Harmer is adjudged leg before wicket - a first victim in this match for Lancashire's top wicket taker this season Tom Bailey.

James Vince appears to be in the mood at the Ageas Bowl as a half-volley by Rikki Clarke is crunched down the ground to take the Hampshire skipper to 23 not out. Joe Weatherley is on 11, but they need another 195 to avoid an innings loss.

Durham appear to be making a fight of it, having so far added 55 runs to move on to 215-7 against Derbyshire.

After the early loss of stand-in skipper Cameron Steel at Chester-le-Street, Gareth Harte (39) and Nathan Rimmington (18) have now put on 56 for the eighth wicket. Durham now lead by 106.

Glamorgan have lost a third wicket against Warwickshire at Edgbaston. The visitors are now on 123-3, leading by 89, with Usman Khawaja already on to 42.

Captain Alex Wakely is still there on 70 for Northamptonshire but the loss of Adam Rossington for 29 has triggered three more wickets for Leicestershire at Wantage Road. The hosts are now 211-7, a lead of 198.

Gloucestershire, 44-4 overnight, have already lost Jack Taylor for 33 and Ryan Higgins, both to Matt Henry, as they attempt to make an indentation in the massive 582- 9 declared posted by Kent.

On 90-6, they need a further 24 to avoid being asked to follow on.

Somerset turn to spin as they seek a second breakthrough, but it's Roelof van der Merwe who is called up, ahead of England's Dom Bess. Spin or seam, Steven Mullaney is always positive and he flicks away through the leg-side for four as he motors into the 90s. This has been a fine innings and one which deserves to be rewarded with a century. Only 81 more needed for Notts to clear the deficit.

After that lost half an hour's play, Essex are continuing to whittle away at Lancashire's first innings 301.

Adam Wheater, who led a bit of a charmed life on day two, is still there on 36. Simon Harmer is looking fluent on 23.
