    Sussex have begun their second innings at Hove after the Derbyshire innings ended on 389-9 with Ravi Rampaul unable to bat due to breathing difficulties earlier in the match. Phil Salt is approaching 50 with the home side 86-0, a lead of 137.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Cox lbw b Poysden 18

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 525-5

    Well, that's two wickets for three runs.

    Notts could've done with that a while ago.

    Ben Cox is pinned lbw by Josh Poysden and Ed Barnard is the new batsman.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Moeen c Brook b Bresnan 219

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 522-4

    It's all over!

    Moeen holes out to Jack Brooks at point off the bowling of Tim Bresnan for a wonderful innings of 219.

  5. Declaration at Southampton

    Hants 277 & 399-7 v Notts 166

    Liam Dawson and Kyle Abbott take eight runs between them off Matt Carter's over - the 106th of the innings...

    And that's it. James Vince calls time on the innings.

    The lead is a gargantuan 510.

  6. Worcestershire in charge as Moeen passes 200

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 510-3

    Moeen's best first class score is 250.

    Don't count against him going beyond that today as he belts another six off Adam Lyth, gets a single and then takes a four and a single off Josh Poysden to move on to 219.

    Could he be in the frame for England at the Ageas Bowl?

  7. wicket

    WICKET Gregory (c Chopra b Harmer) 11

    Somerset 324 & 159-7 v Essex 191

    Great catch by Varun Chopra, who takes it one-handed at first slip as Lewis Gregory is deceived by spinner Simon Harmer. It was short, it was sweet by Gregory, but the South African has his fourth wicket.

    New batsman Jamie Overton hits his first ball for four and Somerset's lead is 292.

  8. 6 runs

    Aggressive start by Gregory

    Somerset 324 & 153-6 v Essex 191

    Quite a statement of intent by new Somerset batsman Lewis Gregory, who clips Peter Siddle over mid-wicket for six and then forces the next ball away through the covers for four.

    Seven balls on from the start of his innings and he's 11 not out, and has already overtaken partner Steven Davies.

  9. Lancashire try spin

    Surrey 211 & 216-5 v Lancashire 247

    Time for a change by Lancashire as leg-spinner Matt Parkinson relieves Tom Bailey. Three singles from his opening over, with Surrey content to take it steady following the loss of Sam Curran. Ben Foakes is 31 not out, Ryan Patel has six, and the lead is 182.

  10. Worcestershire pass 500

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 502-3

    Moeen Ali takes another four off the bowling of Josh Poysden to get Worcestershire past the 500 mark and takes a single off the fifth ball to keep the strike.

    286 ahead.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Abell (c Bopara b Harmer) 27

    Somerset 324 & 143-6 v Essex 191

    Tom Abell goes the same way as Azhar Ali, caught at leg slip by Ravi Bopara. This was a more difficult chance, though, but the Essex player managed to snatch it millimetres above the turf.

    Somerset are running out of batsmen now, but they are 276 ahead. Essex spinner Simon Harmer has 3-39.

  12. Somerset punish Cook

    Somerset 324 & 138-5 v Essex 191

    A couple of thoroughbred strokes in the latest Sam Cook over at Taunton, where Tom Abell drives straight down the ground and Steven Davies elegantly strokes the ball through the covers. Somerset now 271 in front.

  13. 200 runs

    200 for Moeen Ali

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 491-3

    There it is! Moeen Ali picks up his 28th boundary with a four off the bowling of Josh Poysden to reach his double century.

    Superb effort form the Worcestershire number three.

    260 balls with 25 fours and three sixes.

  14. Yorkshire frustrated by the Pears

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 481-3

    Adam Lyth resumes the bowling. Moeen Ali and Ben Cox pick up a single each.

    More frustration for the bowler as Ben Cox plays and misses outside the off stump.

    Just two from the over. 265 ahead.

  15. Early boundary for Abell

    Somerset 324 & 133-5 v Essex 191

    Simon Harmer starts the afternoon session with a maiden for Essex. Sam Cook takes up the attack at the other end and Tom Abell finds the boundary to progress to 22 not out. Somerset lead by 266.

  16. Afternoon session underway in Scarborough

    Yorks 216 v Worcs 479-3

    It might be a hard hat area at the North Marine Road ground this afternoon as the Pears look to accelerate and pile on the runs.

    Moeen Ali added 83 runs to his overnight 107 this morning and is within touching distance of a double century.

    Superb knock of 178 by Daryl Mitchell, which was finally ended by a catch at at slip by Tim Bresnan off Adam Lyth.

    He returns to the crease on 190 not out with keeper-batsman Ben Cox unbeaten on 3.

  17. Dawson attacks for Hampshire

    Hants 277 & 355-7 v Notts 166

    Liam Dawson rocks back and cuts Steven Mullaney down to third man for four.

    Good start for Hampshire. They lead by 466.

  18. Sussex need 'brisk' tempo

    Sussex 440 & 25-0 v Derbyshire 389 - lunch

    Adrian Harms

    Ollie RobinsonGetty Images

    Slight advantage Sussex at lunch on day three, with a lead of 76 and 10 wickets in hand

    The new ball did the trick this morning with Ollie Robinson particularly impressive, taking two wickets including that of Alex Hughes, who batted very well for 77

    With five sessions left in the match, Sussex will be looking to score briskly this afternoon and set Derbyshire a target at some stage tomorrow.

  19. Afternoon session begins at Southampton

    Hants 277 & 350-7 v Notts 166

    How many runs will be enough?

    The pitch has played pretty well so far with only very occasional low bounce. Tom Alsop just missed out on a second first class century, but it's been Hampshire's day overall.

    Liam Dawson and Kyle Abbott, batting heroes in the first innings, will get us started.

  20. wicket

    WICKET S Curran (c Vilas b Bailey) 31

    Surrey 211 & 204-5 v Lancashire 247

    Dane Vilas and Alex Davies have both had a go at keeping wicket for Lancashire in this match. It's Vilas behind the stumps today, though, and he makes no mistake as Sam Curran edges behind as he attempts to crash the ball away off the back foot.

    Two decent scores for Curran in this game - 40 and 31 - but he needs to be turning some of his good starts into big ones to further his international prospects. Surrey lead by 168, but they've only got five wickets left now.
