    Interesting once again at Chelmsford.

    Essex snaffle two more Kent second-innings wickets to reduce them to 100-8.

    Marcus O'Riordan falls first leg before to Simon Harmer without playing shot and then Jordan Cox is bowled by Sam Cook.

    Kent now 189 ahead with two wickets remaining.

  2. 50 runs

    50 partnership for Glamorganpublished at 17:30 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Glamorgan (131 & 82-3) need 374 more runs to neat Somerset (296 & 290-8 dec)

    Glorious straight drive for four from Chris Cooke brings up a 50 partnership between himself and Billy Root.

    Glamorgan's batsmen doing their best to frustrate Somerset's bowlers here as they continue to bound in looking for seven more wickets to secure an opening win.

    Kohler-Cadmore lbw Rushworth 24 (Yorkshire 199 & 56-3 v Durham 103 & 266)

    It's a 500th first-class wicket for Durham's Chris Rushworth!

    It's another lbw decision in his favour, Tom Kohler-Cadmore the victim this time after the ball hits the knee role on his leg stump.

    He goes for 24 - breaking a 52-run partnership - and Yorkshire need another 115 to win.

  4. new ball

    New ball for Warwickshirepublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Northamptonshire (142 & 306-5) lead Warwickshire (369-8) by 79 runs

    Warwickshire take the new ball with seven overs left in the day at Edgbaston.

    Can they get a crucial breakthrough to end Northants' massive sixth-wicket stand?

    Charlie Thurston (96*) and Adam Rossington (56*) are the stubborn batsmen.

  5. Moriarty strikes again for Surreypublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Middlesex (347-6 dec & 113-3) lead Surrey (282) by 178 runs

    Spin claims another wicket at The Oval.

    Dan Moriarty with his third of this Middlesex second innings as he has their skipper Steven Eskinazi caught at short leg.

    The visitors' lead now 178.

  6. Malan playing positively for Yorkshirepublished at 17:20 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Yorkshire (199 & 39-2) need 132 runs to beat Durham (103 & 266)

    Dawid Malan is injecting a bit of pace into this Yorkshire run chase, with 22 off 30 balls including four boundaries.

    At the other end Tom Kohler-Cadmore is taking things steady on 11, but between them they've stemmed the earlier Durham tide.

    They need another 132 runs to win at Chester-le-Street

  7. Kent six downpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Kent (387 & 95-6) lead Essex (298) by 184 runs

    Essex celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Kent now 95-6 in their second innings as wickets continue to fall frequently.

    Grant Stewart is caught behind by Adam Wheater off Jamie Porter and the visitors' lead now stands at 184.

    How much of a lead will they feel confident of defending?

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Adam Rossingtonpublished at 17:13 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Northamptonshire (142 & 294-5) lead Warwickshire (369-8) by 67 runs

    And Northants skipper Adam Rossington has reached the same total.

    He and Charlie Thurston (85*) have added 146 runs for their sixth wicket to at least give them a sniff against Warwickshire.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Chris Dentpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Gloucestershire (267 & 97-2) trail Worcestershire (428-5) by 64 runs

    He got 92 in Gloucestershire's first innings and yet again Chris Dent is leading the way with the bat with another half-century.

    It's taken him 100 balls and included seven boundaries, but his side are still behind in the game after Worcestershire's large total.

  10. Mike ends Bohannon resistancepublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Lancashire (322 & 59-2) trail Leicestershire (409-8) by 28 runs

    That must've been a pretty clear lbw decision as the umpire raised his finger as soon as the ball struck Josh Bohannon on the pad.

    The Lancashire batsman departs for three off 34 balls and they're 59-2, still 28 runs behind Leicestershire's first-innings total.

    Ben Mike with the wicket for the Foxes.

  11. Cooke and Root dig in for Glamorganpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Glamorgan (131 & 66-3) need 390 more runs to beat Somerset (296 & 290-8 dec)

    Glamorgan pair Billy Root and Chris Cooke are doing the best they can to show some resistance at Taunton.

    Somerset well in command still as they defend a massive 455 lead.

    Glamorgan had been reduced to 29-3 early on but the fourth-wicket pairing trying to make themselves as immovable as possible.

  12. Youthful Sussex raise eyebrowspublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Sussex beat Hampshire by 94 runs

    Adrian Harms
    Sports reporter, BBC Sussex

    For a Sussex side with an average age of 24, to emphatically beat a Division One side in three days is a tremendous achievement.

    Plenty of positives and still plenty of work to be done, but a step in the right direction.

  13. Robson feathers behindpublished at 16:44 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Middlesex (347-6 dec & 81-2) lead Surrey (282) by 146 runs

    Dan MoriartyImage source, Getty Images

    Another wicket for Surrey in Middlesex's second innings.

    Sam Robson falls to a delivery that had a bit of surprising bounce from left-arm spinner Dan Moriarty and off he trudges for 30.

    Is that a sign of some wear and tear in this pitch? Middlesex lead by 146.

    Peter Trego celebratesImage source, PA Media

    Peter Trego has his first Nottinghamshire wicket and it's a big one as Luis Reece is stopped in his tracks.

    It's a lovely catch at mid-off by Jake Ball from a Reece drive and Derbyshire are 33-1 - a massive 299 short of the victory target.

    A bright cameo from Reece but Derbyshire needed more from him.

  15. Kent lose a fourthpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Kent (387 & 65-4) lead Essex (298) by 154 runs

    HarmerImage source, Rex Features

    Fourth Kent wicket of their second innings falls.

    Are Essex still in with a sniff here?

    Simon Harmer's the man to dismiss his countryman and first-innings centurion Heino Kuhn as Nick Browne takes a catch on the boundary.

    Kent 154 ahead with 23 overs still to bowl in the day's play.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Fraine lbw Rushworth 0 (Yorkshire 199 & 4-2 v Durham 103 & 266)

    Now this is getting interesting!

    Yorkshire's Will Fraine lasts just six balls before being given lbw to Chris Rushworth without scoring.

    That's another wicket with the last ball of an over for Rushworth and all of a sudden Durham's tails are up with Yorkshire 4-2 and needing a further 167 to win.

    WICKETpublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Lyth lbw Rushworth 4 (Yorkshire 199 & 4-1) v Durham (103 & 266)

    Yorkshire lose an early wicket as they chase 171 to win.

    Adam Lyth goes lbw to Chris Rushworth for four in the third over.

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Will Fraine are now in the middle for Yorkshire, who need another 167 to beat Durham.

  18. 100 runs

    100 partnership for Northantspublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Northamptonshire (142 & 253-5) lead Warwickshire (369-8) by 26 runs

    Earlier this afternoon Northants could easily have suffered a middle-order collapse but Charlie Thurston (59*) and captain Adam Rossington (39*) have steadied the ship and at least ensured Warwickshire will need to bat again.

    They've added 105 for the sixth wicket - the Bears are not helped by the fact Olly Stone isn't blowing because of a 'stiff side'.

    All over at Hove and we have our first winners of this Bob Willis Trophy!

    Sussex beat Hampshire by 94 runs inside three days as they bowl out their visitors for just 150 in their second innings.

    Ollie Robinson takes the final wicket of Ajeet Dale to finish with figures of 5-29.

    Sussex take 19 points for that win, Hampshire head home with just three.

  20. Holden goes in Middlesex second digpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Middlesex (347-6 dec & 70-1) lead Surrey (282) by 135 runs

    Middlesex's first wicket falls in their second innings.

    Max Holden departs for 43 as he's caught at slip by Rikki Clarke off left-arm spinner Dan Moriarty.

    First-innings centurion Nick Gubbins back out in the middle.
