    Gurney c Raval b Bresnan 14 (Notts 448 v Yorkshire)

    Harry Gurney goes for 14, but Notts will surely be delighted with their morning's work.

    They've added 116 for the final three wickets.

    Gurney skies Tim Bresnan to Jeet Raval and they're all out for 448.

    Yorkshire will need 299 to avoid the follow on.

    Jack Leach takes his ninth wicket of the match and Somerset even closer to victory!

    Dane Vilas prods forward at the spinner, the ball turns, takes his outside edge and Lewis Gregory snaffles it at slip.

    Lancashire are still four runs behind.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Morkel b Cook 1 (Essex v Surrey 325-8)

    Big Morne comes and goes...

    Sam Cook bowls Morne Morkel for a single to leave Surrey eight down.

    It's been a good couple of minutes for Somerset!

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Patel c Brooks b Poysden 54 (Notts 435-9 v Yorkshire)

    Fifty and out for Samit Patel.

    It's a rank long hop from Josh Poysden but Patel hits it straight down the throat of Jack Brooks deep in the leg side.

    Wicket at Chelmsford too...

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Pennington run out 1 (Worcs 120 v Hants 191)

    Worcestershire are all out for 120.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Livingstone c Bess b Leach 39 (Somerset 199 v Lancs 99 & 81-5)

    But now he's gone. What a silly shot.

    Liam Livingstone tries to hit Jack Leach over the top again, but skews it to Dom Bess at point.

    He didn't need to do that after smashing Leach for six earlier in the over.

    Somerset can sniff victory once again.

  10. 6 runs

    for Livingstone

    Somerset 192 v Lancashire 99 & 81-4

    Six more!

    Liam Livingstone plays a gorgeous straight drive which flies into the Sir Ian Botham stand.

    The 25-year-old is up to 39 in no time.

  11. Somerset 192 & Lancashire 99 & 74-4

    Liam Livingstone guides Jamie Overton to the third-man boundary and that's the 50 partnership up with Steven Croft.

    These two have done brilliantly to drag Lancashire back into the game from 24-4.

  12. Essex v Surrey 313-6

    Tom Curran and Rikki Clarke have steadied the ship for Surrey after those couple of early wickets.

    They've put on 34, with Curran making 21 of them. Defeat from here looks unlikely for the unbeaten Division One leaders.

    WICKET

    Milnes lbw b Poysden 43 (Notts 421-8 v Yorkshire)

    Finally a breakthrough for Yorkshire...

    Josh Poysden pins Matt Milnes in front and he's sent on his way.

    But Milnes has done his job, adding 90 for the eighth wicket with Samit Patel.

    WICKET

    Tongue b Holland 4 (Worcs 113-9 v Hants 191)

    Hampshire take their fifth wicket of the morning at New Road...

    Josh Tongue can't keep out an inswinging yorker from Ian Holland.

    Worcestershire's first innings is in tatters.

    Nigel Buck: Yorkshire will be praying for the return of their England contingent. They look nailed on relegation favourites to me. Too many poor performances and injuries.

    Notts have piled on the runs this morning - they're 416-7 at Trent Bridge.

  16. Somerset 192 v Lancs 99 & 63-4

    Liam LivingstoneRex Features

    Liam Livingstone is looking a million dollars out there for Lancashire.

    The skipper gets down on one knee and crunches Jack Leach to the square leg boundary.

    He's onto 24 including that six off Jack Leach a couple of overs ago. Somerset's lead is now just 30.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Whiteley c Alsop b Abbott 14 (Worcs 108-8 v Hants 191)

    Worcestershire lose an eighth wicket at New Road.

    It's an ugly shot from Ross Whiteley who dances down the wicket to Kyle Abbott, takes a huge swish and nicks behind.

    The deficit is still 83 as Josh Tongue comes to the crease.

  18. Essex v Surrey 300-6

    Surrey do indeed get a third batting bonus point at they bring up the 300. That's three more than Somerset.
