  1. Yorkshire begin their second innings

    Yorks 216 & 1-0 v Worcs 572-7 dec

    Lyth gets a single off the last ball of Parnell's first over.

    Josh Tongue takes the new ball from the other end. Lyth defends.

    Maiden over.

  2. Notts facing huge target

    Hants 277 & 399-7 dec v Notts 166 & 20-0

    Kraigg Brathwaite facing...

    Big appeal for a leg side catch off the bowling of Kyle Abbott!

    Not out. Thigh pad, maybe?

    Brathwaite guides one into the off side and runs a single...

    Coming back for two! A bit tight but he's made it.

  3. Yorkshire begin their second innings

    Yorks 216 & 0-0 v Worcs 572-7 dec

    Huge pressure on Adam Lyth and Harry Brook as they stride to the middle with the White Rose county 356 runs in arrears.

    Wayne Parnell to bowl the first over...

  4. 6 runs

    Maximum for Davey

    Somerset 324 & 193-9 v Essex 191

    Essex persist with Tom Westley's off-spin after his dismissal of Jack Leach and Somerset number 11 Josh Davey deposits him over mid-wicket for six, the third of the match. Not a stroke out of any coaching manual, but it did the job. Somerset's lead is now 326.

  5. Declaration at Scarborough

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 572-7 dec

    We're in between innings here at the North Marine Road ground, where the wicket of Ed Barnard has prompted Moeen Ali to declare.

    Yorkshire begin with a deficit of 356 runs. The pitch has played pretty well today but that's huge scoreboard pressure on the opening batsman.

  6. wicket

    WICKET Patel (b Parkinson) 14

    Surrey 211 & 240-7 v Lancashire 247

    Things are going Lancashire's way at the moment in the first session at The Oval. There's the third wicket since play began as spinner Matt Parkinson sends back Ryan Patel, thanks to vicious turn out of the footmarks. Surrey are 204 in front as Morne Morkel arrives at the crease.

  7. ouch!

    Rossouw injured at slip

    Hants 277 & 399-7 dec v Notts 166 & 17-0

    Brathwaite edges Fidel Edwards just short of Rilee Rossouw at slip. He's struck on the end of one of his fingers and he's off the field.

    Could be a similar injury to the one Jonny Bairstow suffered yesterday. Tough game, this.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Barnard c Fisher b Poysden 34

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 572-7

    It's all over for Ed Barnard, who tries to mow Josh Poysden over mid-wicket and is caught in the deep by Matt Fisher.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Leach (lbw Westley) 5

    Somerset 324 & 183-9 v Essex 191

    Essex call up Tom Westley for his second over of the Somerset second innings and it's an inspired move by skipper Ryan ten Doeschate as he has Jack Leach lbw with his second delivery, an arm ball from around the wicket.

    Just one wicket needed by Essex now - but Somerset are 316 to the good.

  10. Barnard piles on the pressure

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 568-6

    Another great shot from Ed Barnard - who drives Tim Bresnan over his head for four.

    he gets a single off the sixth to keep the strike. The lead is 352.

  11. Division Two round-up

    • Kent have lost a second wicket at the start of their run-chase against Leicestershire with Grant Stewart bowled by Mohammad Abbas. The visitors are 43-2 and need another 210 to win.
    • Max Holden is nearing a fifty for Middlesex against Northants and his side are 196-6 after following on at Wantage Road, a lead of only 37.
    • The pitch at Hove remains no fun for bowlers with Sussex 124-0 in their second innings, a lead of 175. Phil Salt is 65 not out, with the help of three sixes, and opening partner Luke Wells has 55.

  12. Worcestershire build healthy lead

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 560-6

    Alex Milton picks up his first boundary off Josh poysden.

    Next he tries to push force the leggie through the covers but can't clear the infield. He manages a single through point.

    Five off the over.

  13. Rushworth happy with 'convincing win'

    Durham beat Glamorgan by an innings and 30 runs

    Durham completed a three-day win over Glamorgan in Cardiff this morning, with seam bowler Chris Rushworth completing a second-innings 'five-for'.

    Here's what he had to say about his side's victory: "We've been in a strong position in this game from the off, which hasn't been the case throughout this season so it's nice to win convincingly, and to be the one who finished it off was a good result.

    "If the club want to go forward and the guys in the changing room want to improve, we have to be beating teams in a similar situation to us, and we want to be as close to the top of the league as possible."

    And here are the thoughts of BBC Newcastle commentator Martin Emmerson...

    Ross Whitely top edges a sweep and holes out to Josh Poysden. Worcestershire have gone from 522-3 to 544-6. They've also scored at nearly a run a ball for the last 10 overs.
