Worcestershire 455-8 & 97-2 v Glamorgan 374
Nightwatchman Joe Leech comes in for Jake Libby. He defends a few but never looks comfortable and falls for a duck after five deliveries. Caught Charlie Hemphrey off the bowling Kieran Bull
That'll be stumps too. It's been Worcestershire's day though, and Daryl Mitchell remains not out on 48.
It's also the last of our Bob Willis Trophy games to finish. So let's have a look over those day three scores.
Libby c Cooke b Douthwaite (Worcestershire 455-8 & 97-1 v Glamorgan 374)
And there is late wicket at New Road.
Jake Libby falls six short of a half-century, edging Dan Douthwaite to Glamorgan keeper Chris Cooke.
Frustrating for the 27-year-old who made a fantastic 184 in the first innings. There's just 10 balls left in the day.
Middlesex v Hants 60-2 (target 158)
That's it for day three.
Hampshire will need a further 98 runs for victory on the final day with eight wickets in hand.
Stoneman lbw b Harmer 16 (Essex v Surrey 27-1, target 337)
Simon Harmer strikes with the final ball of the day!
The Essex spinner pins Mark Stoneman lbw and stumps is called.
What a boost for Essex.
Result: Derbyshire beat Leicestershire by nine wickets
The North group table is looking very good if you're a Derbyshire fan. Not so good for Durham supporters...

Sam Quigley: Jordan Cox and Darren Stevens proving that cricket is a game for all ages
Jordan Cox, 19, hit 238* for Kent earlier before his teammate Darren Stevens, 44, took 5-50.
Worcestershire 455-8 & 79-0 v Glamorgan 374
We've still got another four overs left at New Road.
Can Glamorgan grab a late wicket?
Alsop c Eskinazi b Walallawita 13 (Middlesex v Hants 48-2, target 158)
Hope for Middlesex late in the day!
Spinner Thilan Walallawita finds Tom Alsop's outside edge and Stevie Eskinazi takes a fine low catch at slip.
Notts 355 v Yorkshire 264 & 259-7
Yorkshire finish the day with 259-7 and a lead of 168.
Jonathan Tattersall remains at the crease with 41 alongside number nine Duanne Olivier on eight.
With just 22 overs left of their innings, the pair will be looking to up the run rate tomorrow and push the lead passed 200.
Gloucestershire 210 & 197-6 v Warks 247
And that is close of play.
Warwickshire's morning, Gloucestershire's afternoon and a pretty drab evening.
Gloucestershire 210 & 197-6 v Warks 247
I told you something was about to happen at Bristol.....
...Turns out it was the clouds coming in.
The players head to their dressing rooms while the umpires stay out in the middle. I think this'll be stumps with eight remaining overs likely to be lost.
Gloucestershire are 197-6, with a lead of 160.
Worcestershire 455-8 & 69-0 v Glamorgan 374
Runs are beginning to flow for the Pears late in the day at New Road.
The lead is exactly 150 with openers Daryl Mitchell and Jake Libby getting into their stride.
Essex v Surrey 21-0 (target 337)
Solid start for Surrey in their pursuit of 337 at Chelmsford.
Mark Stoneman and Ryan Patel are seeing out a tricky late evening spell.
Derbyshire (408 & -0) beat Leicestershire (199 & 220) by 10 wickets
The winning runs come in the form of leg byes but that doesn't dampen the celebrations.
They've been made to wait, but now Derbyshire are over the line and complete a resounding nine-wicket victory.
Some fantastic individual performances from the visitors too. Dustin Melton's 4-22 in the first innings, Matt Critchley's career-best 6-73 in the second and Wayne Madsen's 103 with the bat stand out.
Back-to-back wins for Derbyshire.
Godleman c Swindells b Parkinson 4 (Leicestershire 119 & 220 v Derbyshire 408 & 9-1)
Billy Godleman is caught behind off Callum Parkinson.
Comeback on? ;)
Three runs needed.
Kent (530-1) beat Sussex (332 & 173) by an innings and 25 runs
Kent spinner Marcus O'Riordan finally breaks Sussex's last-wicket stand by removing Mitch Claydon and wraps up as convincing a victory as you are likely to see.
The game will be remembered for that extraordinary second-wicket stand of 423 between teenage opener Jordan Cox and Jack Leaning.
It was Kent's best partnership in their history.
Kent only lost one wicket in the whole match and won by an innings.

And now a boundary for Billy Godleman. Derbyshire are nearly there.
