  1. Murtagh does the business again for Middlesexpublished at 13:01 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Surrey (269-7) trail Middlesex (347-6 dec) by 78 runs

    And with the final ball of the morning session at The Oval - Middlesex have another wicket.

    Dan Moriarty is trapped plumb in front of his stumps to Tim Murtagh for a duck.

    Jamie Smith unbeaten still on 74 at the other end, but Middlesex have had a very profitable last hour taking four wickets for just 15 runs.

  2. Harmer falls for Essexpublished at 12:58 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Essex (281-7) trail Kent (387) by 106 runs

    Marcus O'Riordan continues his impressive first-class debut for Kent with another wicket.

    3-57 for the spinner now to add to his 42 with the bat earlier in the game.

    Simon Harmer departs for Essex leg before for 29 as lunch approaches at Chelmsford.

    Northeast b Robinson 2 (Hampshire 153 & 20-3 v Sussex 176 & 221)

    Hampshire lose a third wicket and Ollie Robinson is at it again!

    Skipper Sam Northeast is bowled to a ball that looked like it jagged back at him and his middle stump goes flying.

    Robinson with figures of 3-7 already.

    Sussex well and truly in command here as the visitors slump to 20-3 in pursuit of 245.

    Hameed c McKiernan b Aitchinson 52 (Nottinghamshire 324 & 150-7 v Derbyshire 239)

    Haseeb Hameed gets tempted by a wide ball - the type he'd left all morning - and is caught at gully.

    The Nottinghamshire debutant departs for 52 and the hosts are 150-7, leading Derbyshire by 235 runs.

    This one is getting interesting now.

  5. Another scalp for Middlesexpublished at 12:49 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Surrey (263-6) trail Middlesex (347-6 dec) by 84 runs

    Surrey lose a third quick wicket for just nine runs as Jordan Clark falls cheaply.

    Caught down the legside by John Simpson off the bowling of Tim Murtagh.

    Could this game be finally coming to life?

  6. Durham pair make 100 partnershippublished at 12:46 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Durham (103 & 171-2) lead Yorkshire (199) by 75 runs

    No wickets have fallen so far on this third day at Chester-le-Street and Alex Lees (82 not out) and David Bedingham (55 not out) have now brought up a 100 partnership for the third wicket.

    The hosts now 75 runs ahead which could begin to get decisive in what has so far been a low-scoring contest.

    But Yorkshire had a 96-run lead after the first innings so a couple of quick wickets could change the complexion once again.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Organ c Garton b Robinson 9 (Hampshire 153 & 16-2 v Sussex 176 & 221)

    Another early wicket falls for Hampshire!

    Both openers back in the pavilion already and it's the combination of Ollie Robinson and George Garton who've accounted for them.

    Felix Organ edges Robinson to the waiting hands of Garton this time at third slip and now 245 looks a very difficult target to chase down.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for David Bedinghampublished at 12:41 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Durham (103 & 164-2) lead Yorkshire (199) by 68 runs

    It's a half-century on his Durham first-class debut for David Bedingham.

    This had been a low-scoring game at Chester-le-Street but the hosts are now showing it's possible to bat well on the surface - the big roller this morning may have helped.

    They're 68 runs clear of Yorkshire and look like setting a decent target.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Colin Ackermannpublished at 12:38 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Leicestershire (245-2) trail Lancashire (322) by 77 runs

    Leicestershire skipper Colin Ackermann follows team-mates Hassan Azad and Ben Slater by making a 50.

    The Foxes continue to go along well, Slater still there on 131 and eyeing up a 150.

    Lancashire will be happy to go into the second innings anywhere near level pegging.

  10. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:36 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Curran lbw Rhodes 58 (Northamptonshire 142 & 105-2 v Warwickshire 369-8)

    Ben Curran reached his 50 with back-to-back pull shots but is now out for 58, falling lbw to Bears captain Will Rhodes.

    It's been a good spell for Northants, who lost Emiliano Gay early on, but they're still 122 runs short of Warwickshire's first-innings total as they hope to still set a decent target.

    Weatherley c Garton b Robinson 2 (Hampshire 153 & 11-1 v Sussex 176 & 221)

    Sussex celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Commentator's curse for Hampshire!

    Joe Weatherley is the first man out for the visitors as he edges a cut shot off Ollie Robinson to George Garton at third slip.

    Garton hangs on to the chance at the second attempt.

  12. Promising start for Hamphire openerspublished at 12:33 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Hampshire (153 & 11-0) need 234 more runs to beat Sussex (176 & 221)

    Decent first couple of overs in Hampshire's second innings.

    245 the victory target for them at Hove to remind you.

    Felix Organ crashes a square cut for four from a Mitch Claydon short ball to get things going.

  13. Rikki Clarke departs cheaplypublished at 12:31 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Surrey (261-5) trail Middlesex (347-6 dec) by 86 runs

    Middlesex with another wicket in quick succession at The Oval.

    Rikki Clarke very smartly caught behind down the legside by John Simpson off Nathan Sowter's spin.

    One Clarke departs and another Clark arrives at the crease - Jordan Clark now to Jamie Smith on 67 not out.

  14. Second batting point for Essexpublished at 12:29 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Essex (250-6) trail Kent (387) by 137 runs

    Essex pick up a second batting bonus point as they reach 250 in their first innings.

    Simon Harmer providing support now for Ryan ten Doeschate after Adam Wheater's earlier unfortunate run out.

    Essex still a long way behind their opponents though in this slow-burner.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:22 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Haynes lbw Higgins 51 (Worcestershire 281-4 v Gloucestershire 267)

    Moments after achieving his maiden first-class 50, Jack Haynes is trapped lbw and goes for 51.

    It's a first wicket of the season for Gloucestershire's Ryan Higgins but they're still well behind in the game as Worcestershire look to build on their slender lead.

    A decent effort from Hampshire to wrap up Sussex's second innings in just over an hour this morning, but they allowed more runs than they would have liked.

    The last-wicket stand of 22 was particularly frustrating.

    Hampshire will have to bat very well to make 245 to win.

  17. 50 runs

    50 for Haseeb Hameedpublished at 12:19 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Nottinghamshire (324 & 140-5) lead Derbyshire (239) by 225 runs

    It's taken a touch longer than in the first innings but Haseeb Hameed has his second 50 on debut for Nottinghamshire.

    The 23-year-old - who made his England Test debut as a teenager - had struggled for form for some time before leaving Lancashire but the early signs are that the move has done him good.

    Notts lead Derbyshire by 225 runs and are well in control.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Jack Haynespublished at 12:17 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Worcestershire (281-3) lead Gloucestershire (267) by 14 runs

    Jack Haynes becomes the third half-centurion of Worcestershire's fine first innings.

    He's chipped away at it, with just four boundaries, taking 114 balls.

    The Pears are 14 runs ahead of Gloucestershire. Can Haynes succeed where Daryl Mitchell and Jake Libby failed by converting to a ton?

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:16 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Borthwick c Robson b Andersson 92 (Surrey 254-4 v Middlesex 347-6 dec)

    Scott Borthwick misses out on a century for Surrey.

    He mistimes a pull shot off Martin Andersson's first ball to square leg where Sam Robson takes the catch.

    Borthwick will feel he has massively missed out there as he barely played a false shot all innings until then.

  20. Sussex dismissed for 221published at 12:15 British Summer Time 3 August 2020

    Sussex (176 & 221) lead Hampshire (153) by 244 runs

    Sussex finally all out in their second innings at Hove for 221.

    Mitchell Claydon the last man to depart as he is bowled by Mason Crane for a lively 16.

    It means Hampshire will need 245 to win.
