Division Two round-uppublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Four matches in progress in Division Two now...
Durham are on the brink of defeat at Arundel, where they're 188-6 following on - still 157 behind Sussex.
Middlesex face a daunting target at Grace Road, where Leicestershire have been dismissed in their second innings for 186. The visitors need 381 to win.
Kent have set a huge target for Warwickshire at Tunbridge Wells. They're still 386 behind on 133-1.
Glamorgan are closing the gap on Derbyshire at Swansea. They're 48-2 in their second innings, just 33 behind. Nick Selman was the last man out, lbw to Matt Critchley for 18.

Lancashire 158-1 (target 602)
They're back under way after tea at New Road.
In-form Keaton Jennings is on 76, the not so in-form Haseeb Hameed has 14.
If Lancashire lose no further wickets tonight, then maybe they'll believe a miracle is possible.
Worcestershire will want at least another couple of scalps in the evening session.
Middlesex need 381 to winpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Leicestershire 427 & 186 v Middlesex 233
The last Leicestershire wicket has fallen.
Mohammed Abbas is caught by James Harris off the bowling of Ravi Patel for 7.
That's a daunting target on a pitch that has looked a bit uneven at times.
Big test for Middlesex. Plenty for the batsman to think about as they go into the tea interval.

Chopra b Milnes 14 (Essex 15-2, target 441)
Varun Chopra's middle stump goes flying!
It's an absolute jaffa from Matt Milnes - the Notts paceman is pumped!
The county champions are reeling.

Essex 6-1 (target 441)
Tom Westley is in at three for Essex.
He's in desperate need of some runs... the 29-year-old scored 170 in the County Championship so far this season at an average of 17.
Notts pacemen will be licking their lips.
WICKETpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Cook lbw b Milnes 0 (Essex 6-1, target 441)
Matt Milnes has the biggest wicket of his career, surely?!
The seamer pins Alastair Cook lbw second ball. Cook was on the back foot and the ball didn't get up as much as he expected.
Disastrous start for Essex.

Tea at Swanseapublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Glamorgan 283 & 46-1 v Derbyshire 362 - Tea
Glamorgan are just 33 behind now. It's been quite a fightback after Derbyshire threatened to rack up a huge lead, before declining from 357-5 to 362 all out.
Hats off to Prem Sisodiya, who took three wickets and ran out Gary Wilson in that manic passage of play.
Wessels keeping for Nottspublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Essex 0-0 (target 441)
Riki Wessels will actually take the gloves for Notts with Tom Moores off the field.
Luke Fletcher opens the bowling, Varun Chopra and Alastair Cook are in the middle for the county champions.
Lunch at Hampshirepublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Hampshire 311-7 v Yorkshire 350
It's the end of the first session in our one remaining day-night game.
It's been Yorkshire's 'morning'. They took four wickets including Jimmy Adams for 147.
Very much even stevens at the Ageas Bowl.
Tea at New Roadpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Worcestershire 247 & 484-7 dec v Lancashire 130 & 154-1
Well, well, records are there to be broken I guess.
Lancashire's chase of 602 has got off to a flier - through Keaton Jennings and Alex Davies.
Haseeb Hameed is also into double figures, which is a bonus for him this season.
Lanacshire need another 448 for victory, I'm not sure Worcestershire will be sweating quite yet.

Essex 206 v Notts 380 & 266

It looks as though Tom Moores will not be keeping wicket for Notts. I'm not quite sure what's happened to him, but he did have Jake Libby as a runner while batting. I'll try and find out more.
Alastair Cook and Varun Chopra will begin Essex's chase of 441 after tea shortly.

Elsewhere, Leicestershire have taken their lead beyond 350 against Middlesex. They're 160-9 at Grace Road.

Rayner c Tattersall b Patterson 0 (Hampshire 310-7 v Yorkshire 350)
Ollie Rayner only lasts two balls - he edges Steven Patterson behind.
Yorkshire have now picked up four wickets before lunch.

Cheers Ben. Busy afternoon!
There's been another wicket at Hampshire...
Postpublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Right, that's all from me for now.
Gary Smee will take you through the next passage of play.
6,000 first-class runs for Keaton Jenningspublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
This has been quite a summer for the young opener.
He's had a rich vein of form for Lancashire, a recall to the England Test team - and now this.
Pretty good going! He reaches the milestone with a boundary off Daryl Mitchell.
WICKETpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Holland c Tattersall b Brooks 31 (Hampshire 309-6 v Yorks 350)
Ooh, dodgy shot.
Ian Holland gets a short one from Jack Brooks, which he tries to cut but the ball is too close to him to control the shot.
Easy catch for the keeper. Ollie Rayner (on loan from Middlesex) joins Gareth Berg in the middle.
Sussex closing in on winpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Sussex 552 v Durham 211 & 149-6 (f/o) - tea
Adrian Harms
Sports reporter, BBC Sussex
Sussex are closing in on victory inside three days at Arundel after another disappointing batting display by Durham
Having lost six wickets for just nine runs to be bowled out this morning, the visitors have fared little better following on
Only Graham Clark and Will Smith have shown the necessary application as Sussex have taken wickets at regular intervals
Harry Finch took a magnificent catch at slip to remove Smith, and Sussex are well on course for their second Championship win of the season.

Moores c Wheater b Porter 87 (Essex 206 v Notts 380 & 266)
Phew! The carnage is over for Essex.
Tom Moores edges Jamie Porter to the keeper.
That leaves Essex with the small matter of a 441-run target to win.
Well, small compared to Lancashire's target of 602 anyway.
Moores piles on the runspublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 22 June 2018
Essex 206 v Notts 380 & 266-9
Time for Ravi Bopara to take some punishment now.
Tom Moores belts him for two sixes and takes a single off the 5th ball to move to 87. He has seven maximums in total.
It's a hard hat area here in Chelmsford. Notts are 440 ahead.
