    Sussex 116-5 v Warwks 440

    David Wiese pulls Ryan Sidebottom to fine leg for a single.

    Can he see Sussex through to stumps with Ben Brown? Maybe not!

    Brown gets a leading edge and comes within a whisker of being caught and bowled.

    Will Rhodes is going to have a bowl from the Cromwell Road End.

  2. Full bonus points for Kentpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Glamorgan 186 v Kent 403-9

    Not a bad way to bring up the 400.

    Last batsman Matt Henry hits Craig Meschede for three fours in an over to bring up maximum batting points for his side.

  3. Ballance at the crease with Lythpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Yorks 184 & 69-2 v Hants 157 (lead by 96)

    Gary Ballance top scored with 30 in the first innings and looks in decent nick here with a neat dab to mid wicket for a couple off the last ball of Dawson's over.

    Adam Lyth drives Kyle Abbott at the other end and Dawson dives in the covers to cut off the single.

    Good day for Yorkshire so far and hats off to Tim Bresnan for a career best 5-28 this afternoon.

    50 for Joe Clarkepublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Worcestershire 94 & 80-3 v Essex 474-7 dec

    It's unlikely to make much difference to the outcome, but this has been an excellent innings from Joe Clarke.

    The Worcestershire batsman pulls Matt Coles for four runs to reach his half-century from 72 balls.

  5. Play resumes at Headingleypublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Glamorgan 204 v Kent 390-9

    Darren Stevens is the ninth wicket to fall, leaving the final Kent partnership to find a tricky 10 runs to earn full bonus points.

    Jeremy Lawlor gets the dismissal, Stevens caught at cover as he can't keep a drive down.

  7. Wiese tested by Patelpublished at 16:28 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Sussex 104-5 v Warwks 440

    Half appeal from Jeetan Patel for lbw against David Wiese but the umpire turns him down.

    David Wiese pushes defensively on the off side and runs through for a single.

    Ben Brown sweeps and misses - another lbw appeal and he runs through for a leg bye.

    Patel looks a bit cross with that.

    Ryan Sidebottom replaces Olly Stone at the other end.

  8. Bad light at Tauntonpublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Surrey 485 v Somerset 122-9

    In case you're wondering why you've not heard about the end of the first innings at Taunton, bad light has got in the way.

    Surrey and Somerset are yet to emerge from the pavilion for the final session.

  9. Stone struggling at Hovepublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Sussex 102-5 v Warwks 440

    Mm. Stone looks to be hobbling a bit here.

    He bowls wide of off stump and is crunched through the off side for four by Brown.

    He's taken two wickets but he's also gone for 34 in five overs.

  10. Division Two round-uppublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Here's the latest at Bristol and Lord's...

    Derbyshire are 163-5 against Middlesex in their first innings - trailing by 260.

    Billy Godleman was the last man out - caught by Stevie Eskinazi off Martin Andersson for 28, ending 95 balls of resistance after Alex Hughes and Harvey Hosein both fell in the 19th over.

    Rain continues to frustrate Gloucestershire and Northants at Bristol, where the visitors lead by 48 after being bowled out for 173. The hosts made 125.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Wells (c Ambrose b Stone) 26published at 16:16 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Sussex 87-5 v Warwks 440

    Bit of a soft dismissal, really.

    Olly Stone fires in a quicker ball down the leg side and Luke Wells nibbles at it on the way to the keeper.

    Superb diving catch from Tim Ambrose.

    Still well over 300 runs behind with 24 overs left.

  12. wicket

    WICKET Brook (c Alsop b Dawson) 28published at 16:11 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Yorks 184 & 65-2 v Hants 157 (lead by 92)

    Hampshire switch to spin and Liam Dawson strikes first ball!

    It looks like Harry Brook was trying to steer that down to third man and the batsman gets a thin edge through to the keeper.

    Hampshire go to tea with a bit more of a spring in their step.

  13. wicket

    WICKET Burgess (b Stone) 46published at 16:06 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Sussex 86-4 v Warwks 440

    Olly Stone has taken a bit of stick this afternoon but he's got his man this time. He's just too quick for Michael Burgess who can't lay a bat on a straight one and loses his off stump.

    Ben Brown steps up to the crease.

  14. Berg punished by Brookpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Yorks 184 & 55-1 v Hants 157 (lead by 83)

    Harry Brook finds a gap through the covers and drives Berg through the off side for four to take the White Rose county past 50.

    Four more through point. Next he pushes Berg through mid wicket and a misfield costs one more run.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Billings (b Hogan 85)published at 16:03 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Glamorgan 186 v Kent 359-8

    Sam Billings falls short of a century.

    It's been a really good innings from the Kent captain, keeping his side in with a chance of securing full bonus points and putting them firmly on track for the win.

    His knock ends in spectacular fashion, Michael Hogan finding a bit of extra pace to send Billings' middle stump cartwheeling.

  16. Runs flow at Hovepublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Sussex 72-3 v Warwks 440

    Olly Stone is leaking a few runs here but that's a bit of a slog from Michael Burgess as a flashing drive sends the ball down to third man for four.

    The batsman is forced into defense by a quicker one. four from the over.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Westbury (lbw b Coles 8)published at 16:00 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Worcestershire 94 & 44-3 v Essex 474-7 dec

    Joe Clarke needs one of his team-mates to step up and help him.

    Olly Westbury is out lbw as he tries to work a ball across the line and into the leg-side.

  18. Postpublished at 15:59 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Worcestershire 94 & 44-2 v Essex 474-7 dec

    Joe Clarke may not be a Worcestershire player for too much longer, as reports in the papers suggest he's considering an offer to sign for Nottinghamshire.

    For now he's keeping the Pears wafer thin hopes of avoiding defeat against Essex alive, with 26 from 34 deliveries.

    His side still trail by 336 runs.

  19. Yorkshire lead buildingpublished at 15:57 British Summer Time 19 September 2018

    Yorks 184 & 43-1 v Hants 157

    Hampshire are very much in defensive mode here to try and dry the runs to a trickle.

    They're still rolling along at three an over though.

    Gareth Berg bowling now. Lyth and Brook trade in singles to take the lead up to 70.

    Gareth Hern: 127-20 in 52 overs for Durham. Don't care what the conditions were like. That's an absolute shambles.
