Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 184-5 (Lead by 264)
Dream start to the session for Yorkshire as Matt Fisher angles one across to Steven Davies who drives and edges to first slip.
Let's forget about declaration talk for now...
Sussex 171 & 175 v Middlesex 169 & 232
Middlesex made it three straight County Championship Division Two wins in a row as they completed victory over Sussex in a low-scoring game at Lord's.
Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 183-4 (Lead by 262)
How many do they need? 300? 350?
Up to the captain, Tom Abell - who resumes on 64 with Steven Davies on 6.
Matt Fisher to bowl.
Glamorgan 203 & 144-5 v Warwickshire 503
Nick Webb
BBC Wales Sport
Warwickshire captain Jeetan Patel led his side’s victory bid at Colwyn Bay as he claimed his 800th first-class wicket in a lengthy afternoon spell, yielding three wickets.
Nick Selman batted 110 balls before he edged Patel to slip for 14, but Kiran Carlson and David Lloyd looked to have settled in well with a stand of 56.
Patel then induced Lloyd to drive to point for 26, and Carlson’s departure, lbw the over before tea for 49, makes a three-day finish likely.
Keith Barker took the first wicket of the afternoon as Connor Brown was bowled for 33, not playing a shot.
Warwickshire’s optimistic mood was also buoyed by news of promotion rivals Sussex’s defeat at Lord’s.
Essex 435 v Hampshire 117-8
Liam Dawson drives Ravi Bopara through the covers for a couple to move on to 11.
The fifth ball is cut in front of square for a single and now Kyle Abbott is off the mark with a push for one in the off side.
That's tea.
Essex are firmly in charge and even with day one lost to rain they still have of time to force a result.
Still 38 overs left tonight inn an extended final session.
Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 183-4 (Lead by 262)
Good session for Somerset but that James Hildreth dismissal will give Yorkshire hope.
Tom Abell is still there on 64 and with 32 overs left might we have a declaration with about ten of them left tonight?
Essex 435 v Hampshire 110-8
Hampshire are nearly down and out here.
Kyle Abbott and Liam Dawson can bat but don't count on too many from Fidel Edwards.
Ravi Bopara bowls a very full ball which James Vince miscues on the drive and edges at head height to Simon Harmer slip.
Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 178-4 (Lead by 256)
Shot! Abell carves Lyth off the back foot for four to move on to 56. Crucial for Somerset he stays there to take the target past 300.
And again! Another deft cut through backward point for four that would make even the most battle hardened purist purr.
Ah, a bit ungainly as he ends the over with a sharp single and lands on his backside at the non-striker's end.
Lancashire 161 & 217-6 v Worcestershire 222 & 252
Now just 96 runs behind, Lancashire reach tea with this one beautifully poised.
Dane Vilas is still there on 72.
Derbyshire 400 all out v Kent 561
Kent have enforced the follow-on, so when they resume after tea, Derbyshire will bat again, trailing by 161 runs.
Essex 435 v Hampshire 99-7
No! What a way to go!
Ravi Bopara bowls a full toss and Gareth Berg hits it straight to Nick Browne at mid wicket.
Captain, this ship is sinking.
Essex 435 v Hampshire 99-6
James Vince is still there on 25 but he desperately needs support at the other end.
Vince gets a rare freebie from Bopara and drives through the off side for four. He picks up a single off the fifth and Gareth Berg sees out the over.
Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 164-4 (Lead by 243)
Gone! Huge wicket for Yorkshire!
Adam Lyth comes into the attack... James Hildreth tries to hit against the spin and edges behind.
Wonderful knock even so - and that stand was worth a very useful 135 runs.
Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 164-3 (lead by 243)
Somerset are building up a really good lead now. Would 300 be enough?
James Hildreth drives Shaw but can't get it past David Willey at mid off.
The bowler drops short and Hildreth's pull shot is picked up on the bounce at mid-wicket.
The last ball is driven to mid off for one.
Yorkshire 320 v Somerset 399 & 159-3 (Lead by 238)
Image source, Rex FeaturesThat's his 6th 50 in this summer's Championship to date.
His best this year is 99, but we'll park that for now.
95 balls and four fours.
Lancashire 161 & 203-6 v Worcestershire 222 & 252
Dane Vilas' ninth boundary brings up 200 for Lancashire in their second innings and they need just 111 more to win now.
This partnership is a huge one at Southport.
Derbyshire 382-9 v Kent 561
Adam Whitty
BBC Radio Kent at Derby
Adam Riley’s three wickets have made it interesting at Derby
There are distinct whiffs emanating from the County Ground in Derby that signal a result is possible here.
Derbyshire were going along nicely at 288-2, but the spin of Adam Riley (3-78) and Joe Denly (1-77), with a cameo from paceman Grant Stewart (1-24), reduced the hosts to 345-7, still a way off the total required to avoid the follow on.
Could we see a quick mop up of the Derbyshire tail, a quick Kent whack this evening, followed by Kent sticking in Derbyshire again on a tough final day?
Essex 435 v Hampshire 90-6
Not a great shot from Rilee Rossouw ...or a great ball from Simon Harmer - who drops short and the batsman pulls it straight down the throat of Nick Brown on the on side.
The batsman stares up at the heavens in horror.
Horrid way to get out and Hampshire are 345 behind.

James Hildreth looking rock-solid here as he strokes Willey through the covers for his 11th four and switches to calm defending as the bowler tightens his line.
Willey over-pitches and Hildreth drives to cover but there's no run.
