Glamorgan 203-9 v Warks 186

Just one game being played then as Warwickshire look to finish off Glamorgan.

Billy Root goes on the attack and launches the match's first six to bring up a 50 and his side's 200.

And with the night sky getting a touch gloomier, the umpires order the players off again at The Oval after that mini session.

There's still 10 more overs scheduled to be bowled this evening, but we may well have seen the last of the action until the morning.

We'll wait and see though...

Late wicket for Warwickshire as skipper Will Rhodes bowls Lukas Carey for 23.

Glamorgan number 11 Michael Hogan comes in, his side are seven away from a batting point, his partner is 10 off a half-century and there are 27 balls until the close.

So what does Hogan do?

Swing and a miss.

Oh dear! Surrey will be fuming now that they had to come back out and face more bowling in the south London gloom.

Rory Burns went first ball back to Jack Carson and now Henry Crocombe at the other end has taken two wickets in two balls for Sussex.

First he bowled Jamie Smith after he offered no stroke to one that nipped back and then he trapped nightwatchman Adam Finch leg before first ball.

Ben Foakes narrowly survives the hat-trick ball as he digs out an inswinging yorker!

A couple from Lukas Carey takes Glamorgan to Warwickshire's first-innings total.

Carey is playing nicely on 19, joined by Billy Root on 40.

Five overs left at Sophia Gardens.

And it's Stumps too in Liverpool.

Derbyshire recovered from 61-7 to finish day two on 120-7 after an unbroken 50-run partnership from Harvey Hosein (44) and Mattie McKiernan (19).

Lancashire still on top but Hosein has given the visitors an outside chance.

The light doesn't improve and that'll be close of play.

A great day for Somerset despite losing Ben Green late on.

Lancashire appeal in vain as George Balderson thinks he's got Harvey Hosein leg before.

Not out.

The hosts struggling to break through this eighth-wicket stand. The pair have survived for 30 overs thus far.

Derbyshire move to 110-7 and trail by 109 runs.

And that is stumps on a topsy-turvy day at the St Lawrence Ground.

Hampshire will finish it the happier you feel after they were right up against it at one stage in this second innings at just 23-5.

Lewis McManus (50 not out) and Tom Scriven (42 not out) have rescued them from the mire and may well have compiled a match-winning partnership worth 85.

Half-century for Hampshire wicketkeeper Lewis McManus as this vital sixth-wicket partnership continues to grow at Canterbury.

He drives Matt Milnes for four through the covers to get there off 83 balls with his 10th four.

He and Tom Scriven (38 not out) have now added 81 for Hampshire in testing conditions.

It's official, we're off in Worcester now.

Somerset's day, they lead Worcestershire by 67 runs with nine wickets in hand.

Couple more games have also halted due to the darkening evening gloom.

They're off at Trent Bridge in the North Group match where Notts are 249-2 in reply to Durham's 294.

Ben Duckett is unbeaten on 146.

At The Oval meanwhile, Surrey have been held up at 169-1 in reply to Sussex's 415.

Scott Borthwick fell for 50, but Rory Burns (103 not out) has now been joined by non other than Hashim Amla (3 not out).

No wait. I think we are going off. The Somerset batsmen leave the field but the Worcestershire fielders stay out there.

Nine overs and four balls, remaining in the day.

Stand by.

We could have a problem with bad light here at New Road too....

.....the umpires have a chat but we're carrying on for now.

And that is the end of the second day between Essex and Middlesex.

Essex in the box seat after securing a 98-run lead thanks to Adam Wheater's unbeaten 83 in their 236 all out.

Aaron Beard then took three of the six Middlesex second-innings wickets to fall in a good spell after tea.

The visitors will take a slender lead of 25 runs into the third day.
