Warwickshire 160-6 v Hampshire - target 440
There have not been many positives for Warwickshire in this match but the return to action of Olly Stone was one and the return to form of Sam Hain is another.
The first-innings centurion is 71 not out and Ben Mike is unbeaten on 39. They have added 50 for the seventh wicket but the Bears need 244 more.
Yorkshire 208 & 175-8 v Essex 328
Image source, Rex FeaturesThis is some effort from Keshav Maharaj for Yorkshire. He's really not known for his batting, but he's trying to change that at Chelmsford.
The South Africa spinner is now 79 not out from just 62 balls - there've been seven fours and five sixes. He is taking apart an Essex attack that has torn through the Yorkshire batting line-up.
He and Ben Coad have now put on almost 50, with Coad scoring only six.
Yorkshire lead by 57 runs.
Somerset 147-8 & 326 v Notts 241
A very important 50 for Azhar Ali and Somerset as he's helped take their lead to 231.
165 balls that's taken. Wow, real patience.
It's setting up a very difficult chase for Notts in the fourth innings.

Surrey 271 & 29-1 v Kent 369
Kent have their first breakthrough at The Oval and it's Mr Reliable Darren Stevens.
He takes the outside edge of Mark Stoneman who's caught behind. Surrey still trail by 69 runs.
Yorkshire 208 & 147-8 v Essex 328
What did I say?
Keshav Maharaj goes barmy and reaches 50. He clatters a straight six, is dropped at midwicket and the ball rolls for four, clatters another six. Basically he's giving Simon Harmer the treatment.
Six fours and three sixes in this handy knock from the South African.
Yorkshire 208 & 129-8 v Essex 328
Yorkshire captain Steve Patterson nicks seamer Jamie Porter to slip and the safe hands of former England skipper Alastair Cook make no mistake.
Essex are closing in. As things stand, they'll be chasing an overwhelming 10 to win.
Ben Coad can hit it though and he's joined Kesh Maharaj at the crease. There could be fireworks now.
Or it could be all over in two minutes.
Somerset 115-8 & 326 v Notts 241
Dom Bess becomes Liam Patterson-White's fourth victim as he's trapped lbw for five. Perversely, the Somerset spinner probably isn't that disappointed to be out so cheaply.
He'll get to bowl in tandem with Jack Leach pretty soon. They'll have a very helpful surface and more than 200 runs to defend.
All eight Somerset wickets have fallen to spin. In fact, that's 16 consecutive wickets to fall to spin in this match. Ben Slater was dismissed by Jamie Overton yesterday morning - what were you playing at Benjamin?
Somerset 115-7 & 326 v Notts 241
Liam Patterson-White is straight back in to the wickets post-lunch with his third of the day.
Lee Gregory tries to work one in to the legside but simply picks out the mid-on fielder.
Somerset's lead is 200 now though.
Yorkshire 208 & 121-7 v Essex 328
Led by Kesh Maharaj, who is now on to 31, Yorkshire had edged ahead of Essex which means we will have a fourth innings at Chelmsford.
White Rose skipper Steve Patterson is blocking up an end and Maharaj is showing he's no mug with the bat at the other.
Warwickshire 129-6 v Hampshire - target 404
They're playing again at The Ageas Bowl, and if Warwickshire were praying for some help from the weather they might be disappointed.
Yardy leaves Sussex while Foster heads for Glamorgan

Former Essex wicketkeeper James Foster is joining Glamorgan as a consultant for the T20 Blast.
Meanwhile, Michael Yardy is leaving Sussex for a new role Down Under.
If you fancy some live action during lunch, we have live text and radio commentary on the first World Cup semi-final from Old Trafford.

Lunch at Wantage Road
Richard Gleeson is caught behind off Brett Hutton and his wicket brings the end of the Lancashire innings and lunch.
Gleeson takes a tentative drive at Hutton and edges through to Adam Rossington, who takes a good catch to give Rossington his third wicket of the innings.
Captain Dane Vilas is 27 not out and Lancashire trail by 127.

Middlesex 172 & 171-7 v Gloucestershire 201
Middlesex have fought back through Toby Roland-Jones (24 not out) and Tom Helm (25 not out) and now lead by 142 runs at Merchant Taylors' School against Gloucestershire.
A flurry of wickets made it look as though Glos could even be batting before the interval but a wag of the tail has come at the ideal time for Middlesex.
Surrey 271 & 4-0 v Kent 369
Surrey's morning. They are still 94 runs behind, but six wickets for the hosts before lunch mean the first-innings deficit is not as great as they might have feared at the start of play.
Openers Rory Burns and Mark Stoneman will resume after lunch knowing one big partnership could get Surrey back into this.
Durham 117 & 309-2 v Leicestershire 202
Alex Lees may have fallen for 93 but wow are Durham on top at Grace Road. They lead Leicestershire by 214 runs with eight wickets in hand.
Utterly dominant.
Yorkshire 208 & 116-7 v Essex 328
Image source, Rex FeaturesYorkshire are staring down the barrel at lunch on day three at Chelmsford.
They're 116-7 in their second innings, still trailing Essex by four runs and with no recognised batsmen left. A lot will hinge on Kesh Maharaj, who is 26 not out and will then hope to make use of an ever more spinning surface if Yorkshire can set some sort of defendable target.
Somerset 108-6 & 326 v Notts 241
Nottinghamshire take five wickets this morning to reduce Somerset to 108-6. Ravi Ashwin has been the star man, claiming three of those.
The Somerset lead is still an ominous 193 though.
Warwickshire 119-6 v Hampshire - target 404
Warwickshire have made it through the first session but three more wickets for Hampshire mean they can sniff victory along with their lunch.
Sam Hain has picked up where he left off with his unbeaten first-innings hundred. He is unbeaten on 61 but there has been precious little resistance from the rest of the Bears' batting.
Derbyshire 108 & 377 v Worcestershire 113
Tom Lace finishes unbeaten on 132 as Derbyshire are all out for 377. Worcestershire have been set 373 to win.
What a strange match this has been. The sides made 221 runs between them in the first innings.
