    Durham 180 & 92-9 v Lancs 308

    Lancashire think they've won it, but Chris Rushworth's shot loops just out of reach of bowler Liam Hurt.

    Hurt, on 4-25, wants a maiden five-for.

    All of Essex's batsman are contributing today to put them in a winning position.

    Alastair Cook's 42 remains the highest score, but Paul Walter (37*) is the latest man to get himself in.

    Essex's lead is 270 - that might be enough already with Simon Harmer itching to bowl.

    Klein c Hosein b Critchley 0 (Leicestershire 199 & 140-8 v Derbys 408)

    Three-wicket maiden and on a hat-trick!!!!!!

    Take a bow Matt Critchley. Dieter Klein (0) is caught behind and the Derbyshire bowler will have a chance at a hat-trick next over.

    That is if Leicestershire can survive until then. They trail by 69 with two wickets left.

    Wagg c Cox b Barnard 54 (Worcs 455-8 v Glamorgan 333-9)

    One of the sweet spots for storms could be at New Road where Glamorgan have just lost their ninth wicket.

    Graham Wagg tries to heave Ed Barnard away but skies it and wicketkeeper Ben Cox takes an easy catch.

    The visitors still trail by 122 as last man Michael Hogan walks in.

  16. Postpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 10 August 2020

    Thunderstorms are starting to break out in the central swathe of England now... could be an interesting few hours if the forecasts are right.

    WICKETpublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 10 August 2020

    Rhodes lbw b Melton 8 (Leicestershire 199 & 138-5 v Derbys 408)

    Wickets are tumbling.

    Now Dustin Melton, who took 4-22 in the first innings, get in on the day three action at Grace Road.

    George Rhodes completely loses sight of it and the ball thuds into his pads.

    The finger goes up and Leicestershire are five down, trailing Derbyshire by 71.

    Gloucestershire 210 & 107-3 v Warks 247

    A textbook appeal this from Warwickshire.

    Keeper jumping up and down, bowler ending up on the floor, second slip slightly slower than his teammates and not quite sure what all the fuss is about.

    It's a 10 from me but still no wicket.
