'One game at a time' - Abellpublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Somerset beat Hampshire by 313 runs
Image source, Getty ImagesDivision One leaders Somerset took another step towards the title by wrapping up victory over Hampshire on the final morning at Taunton. Here's what skipper Tom Abell had to say about it.
"I didn't think I would be sitting here at lunchtime talking about victory because I expected a really tough day. But once again our bowlers have performed fantastically well, as they have been doing all season.
"It was still a pretty good wicket to bat on, but Jamie Overton and Lewis Gregory got the ball swinging at the start of the morning and really set the tone before our spin twins came to the party too.
“Of course, we can't avoid thinking about that first-ever title because so much is written and spoken about it.But it's for the supporters and media to get excited. We will continue to look no further ahead than the next game, which is now against Notts next week.”

Tea at Cardiffpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Glamorgan 449 & 246-5 dec v Worcestershire 370 & 107-1
Sometimes to achieve a win, you have to risk losing.
Is that the fate awaiting unbeaten Glamorgan after they called a halt to their second innings over lunch at Sophia Gardens, leaving Worcestershire a target of 326.
After removing Josh Dell early, the home side have been unable to separate Callum Ferguson (55*) and Daryl Mitchell (43*), who have so far put on 99.
Scoring another 219 in 34 overs is a tall order - it's almost 6.5 per over - but Worcestershire have wickets in hand if they make a positive start after tea.
Tea at Derbypublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Derbyshire 557-6 dec & 126-4 v Middlesex 520
An unbroken stand of 93 between Harvey Hosein and Leus du Plooy has steadied Derbyshire nerves after a collapse to 39-4 which briefly gave Middlesex hopes of victory.
Hosein has made 45 off 59 balls, with seven fours, and du Plooy has followed his first-innings hundred with an unbeaten 40.
The home side lead by 163 and this one is likely to be called off as a draw at the earliest opportunity.
Incidentally, 1,203 runs have been scored in this game and 20 wickets taken - that's an average of 60.15 per wicket.
Tea at Scarboroughpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Yorkshire 327 & 352 v Surrey 362 & 159-5
Image source, Rex FeaturesTeenager Jamie Smith is off the mark with two runs and then plays out two dot balls from Ben Coad to see Surrey through to tea.
Having been set 318 to win, they were going along so well while openers Mark Stoneman and Dean Elgar were together in a stand of 93.
But Yorkshire have fought back well and those three wickets just before the interval may make them favourites now.
Surrey need 159 in 33 overs in the final session - the White Rose club need five wickets.
Afternoon tea at Sedbergh Schoolpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Lancashire 337 & 247, Durham 281 & 122-5
Still intriguingly poised at tea, as the first-ever first-class fixture at Sedbergh School heads for a potentially exciting conclusion.
Durham captain Cameron Bancroft remains unbeaten on 57, with wicketkeeper Ned Eckersley on 3.
The visitors still need another 182 to win off a minimum of 35 overs.
Image source, Rex FeaturesLancashire need five wickets. But they are now without two key members of their attack.
England's Jimmy Anderson is prevented from bowling for the rest of this match after his calf strain yesterday and spinner Liam Livingstone is also absent from the field.
Much rests on the old shoulders of Graham Onions and the much younger ones of Saqib Mahmood. And they must do it with the old ball, which is only 44 overs old.
Tea at Canterburypublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Kent 585-7 dec, Warwickshire 531-7
Warwickshire head off their final meal break of the week in Canterbury on 531-7.
Back in the old days of County Championship cricket when teams got extra points for first innings lead, there would actually have been something still to play for in this match, with the Bears having closed to within 54 runs of Kent.
As it is, there is no interest whatsoever.
Leicestershire loan debutant Ben Mike has 25, Bears captain Jeetan Patel is on 13.
All eyes now fixed on seeing that clock tick round to 10 to five - the first point at which hands can be shaken.
BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Clive Eakin was just discussing on air the merits maybe in future calling dead game like this off at tea on the final day. Now that sounds like a very good idea.
WICKET Curran c Tattersall b Coad 0published at 15:39 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Yorkshire 327 & 352 v Surrey 362 & 157-5
Three wickets in five balls for no runs, all of them Test players.
Another fine delivery from Ben Coad finds the edge of Sam Curran's bat and it's a straightforward take for keeper Jonny Tattersall.
It is raining Surrey wickets at sunny 'Scarbados'. Yorkshire are going for the kill.
WICKET Foakes b Coad 0published at 15:36 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Yorkshire 327 & 352 v Surrey 362 & 157-3
My oh my - a golden duck for Surrey's captain. But that's a cracking delivery by Ben Coad which just does enough off the pitch to beat the bat and clip off stump.
Suddenly, the gradient of Surrey's run-chase becomes much steeper.
Sam Curran is the new batsman and they need 161 from 33.5 overs.
WICKET Trevaskis c Jones b Onions 3published at 15:34 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Lancashire 337 & 247, Durham 281 & 117-5
A second wicket of the innings for Durham old boy Graham Onions as Liam Trevaskis is well caught by Rob Jones, a sharp chance to his right at second slip.
Lancashire are halfway to their target. Durham have a bit more to do
But captain Cameron Bancroft is crucially still there on 55.
New man in is Durham wicketkeeper Ned Eckersley.

End of twitter postWICKET Elgar run out 71published at 15:32 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Yorkshire 327 & 352 v Surrey 362 & 157-3
Image source, Rex FeaturesFantastic work by David Willey - and that's the one Yorkshire wanted.
Ryan Patel plays towards mid-on, thinks about a run and changes his mind.
Dean Elgar, though, has interpreted his body language as 'yes, a single' and starys from his crease.
He tries to recover his ground but is beaten by Willey's diving backhanded throw.
Yorkshire stifle scoringpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Yorkshire 327 & 352 v Surrey 362 & 153-2
The runs required per over rate increases after three successive Yorkshire maidens at Scarborough.
Surrey's target is 318 - there are 35 overs to go.
for Callum Fergusonpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Glamorgan 449 & 246-5 dec v Worcestershire 370 & 94-1
Callum Ferguson dabs a slower ball from Graham Wagg round the corner for a single and completes a 75-ball half-century. He and Daryl Mitchell have now added 86 and the visitors need another 232 to win from 40 overs.
WICKET Clark b Bohannon 26published at 15:15 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Lancashire 337 & 247, Durham 281 & 108-4
Graham Clark is gone, as Josh Bohannon nips one back off the seam to clean bowl him.
That ends a 69-run stand with his captain Cameron Bancroft, who is well set on 54, after surviving an early drop in the slips off Saqib Mahmood.
New man in is Liam Trevaskis, who did well in the first innings, making 38.

End of twitter postCoad returns to attackpublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Yorkshire 327 & 352 v Surrey 362 & 147-2
Yorkshire summon Ben Coad for another burst and it's a decent first over, which costs him just two runs. Dean Elgar is now 70 not out and Surrey need 171 - Yorkshire need eight wickets.
WICKET Ambrose run out (Kuhn) 39published at 15:13 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Kent 585-7 dec, Warwickshire 512-7
Tim Ambrose's second run-out of the season.
Loan man Ben Mike nudges into the off side, sets off and 36-year-old Ambrose, running from the bowler's end, is undone by a swoop from Kent captain Heino Kuhn in the covers.
Remarkable achievement to get run out in a dead game on the final afternoon. It might have woken up one or two anyway.

End of twitter post500 up for the Bearspublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Kent 585-7 dec, Warwickshire 506-6
Warwickshire have speeded up a little.
Tim Ambrose has moved on to 38, while on-loan debutant Ben Mike is on 19, having plundered his first two boundaries as a Bear.
Ambrose has only gone past 50 once this season. That was against Kent, in the opening fixture, when he hit a second-innings century, but failed to save his side from an eight-wicket defeat.
Division Two updatepublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Worcestershire are now 74-1, with 45 overs remaining, after being set a target of 326 by Glamorgan. Callum Ferguson is 37 not out and Daryl Mitchell has 28 - and they have so far put on 62.
Derbyshire's lead is now 112 and they are 75-4 in their second innings, with first-innings centurion Leus du Plooy 27 not out, after finally bowling out Middlesex for 520.
50 partnership for Durhampublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 3 July 2019
Lancashire 337 & 247, Durham 281 & 98-3
The 11th half-century stand of this match as Durham captain Cameron Bancroft (43) and Cumbrian Graham Clark (24) hold up Lancashire's victory hopes.
Still not one of those partnerships has got to three figures. But, if this one did, that would sure make things interesting at Sedbergh School.
Image source, Rex FeaturesWith another 206 needed to win, Durham are getting within range of nurturing genuine victory hopes themselves.
Cumbrian Clark is the younger brother of former Lancs all-rounder Jordan Clark, who is now with Surrey.
That would make for a nice local story if he could help Durham get home.
