Josef Rindl and Gary Smee

  1. Gloucestershire 210 v Warks 211-6

    The Bears are in front as Tim Bresnan drives for four.

    He's on 28, Alex Thomson at the other end has eight.

    We've got around six overs left until close in Bristol.

  2. Nottinghamshire 322-9 v Yorks 264

    Hang on, looks like Tom Moores is doing a Jordan Thomas. Hunting down a century alongside the tail.

    He's on 87, with eight fours and three sixes.

    Moores is farming the strike well. Can he make it to 100?

    These are useful runs for Nottinghamshire.

    WICKET

    Melton lbw b Parkinson 0 (Leicestershire 199 v Derbyshire 408)

    That's the innings. Dustin Melton is trapped lbw for a golden duck and Derbyshire finish with 408 and a lead of 209.

    That's two in two for Leicestershire bowler Callum Parkinson.

    A very good day's work for the visitors.

  4. Essex 262 & 0-0 v Surrey 187

    Essex openers Nick Browne and Alastair Cook have four overs to see out tonight.

  5. Leicestershire 199 v Derbys 408-9

    Derbyshire are really starting to accelerate now with 13 overs left in their innings.

    Number 10 Sam Conners has fallen for a useful 21, but Harvey Hosein is still out there on 66 and has smashed his side beyond 400.

  6. Kent 335-1 v Sussex 332

    Jordan CoxRex Features

    Kent move into the lead at Canterbury with nine wickets still in hand.

    Jordan Cox (165*) and Jack Leaning's (109*) second-wicket stand is worth 228. Mammoth effort.

  7. Middlesex 252 v Hamps 269-6

    More on Liam Dawson's injury.

    Our friends at BBC Radio Solent seem to think it's a twisted ankle.

    Whatever the injury we wish him well, hopefully it's not too serious and we'll see him take to the field tomorrow morning.

  8. Gloucestershire 210 v Warks 201-6

    That's 200 up for Warwickshire and they're just nine behind Gloucestershire.

    Tim Bresnan, who scored a century on debut last round, is looking good on 23 from 57 balls.

    Alex Thomson has three from 20 at the other end.

    Nine overs to go before close of play at Bristol.

    Essex 262 v Surrey 187

    Simon HarmerRex Features

    Essex spinner Simon Harmer finishes the Surrey innings to end with figures of 6-67.

    James Taylor is the last man to go, caught at deep mid-wicket.

    That's a handy lead of 75 for the hosts at Chelmsford. They'll have a few overs to bat this evening.

  10. Retired hurt

    Middlesex 252 v Hants 266-6

    Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson has had to retire injured on 43.

    It appears to be a lower-leg injury.

    Lewis McManus comes in at nine.

  11. 50 runs

    for Billy Root

    Worcestershire 455-8 v Glamorgan 176-2

    Meanwhile Glamorgan's Billy Root has just reached his fifty.

    Chappell c Bairstow b Thompson 1 (Nottinghamshire 293-8 v Yorks 264)

    Eight down. This time Zak Chappell edges Jordan Thompson into the gloves of Jonny Bairstow.

    A deserved wicket for all-rounder Thompson who fell for 98 yesterday.

    A nice catch as well by Bairstow who's been handy behind the stumps.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Procter c C Overton b J Overton 26 (Northants 153-9, target 322)

    And we've just had another wicket at Lancashire as Liam Hurt edges one behind off the bowling of Ben Raine who now has a three-for.

    Lancashire lead by 70.

  20. Leicestershire 199 v Derbys 380-8

    There's also been another wicket at Grace Road as Derbyshire's Ed Barnes is caught by Harry Swindells off the bowling of Will Davis. He falls for four.
