Live Reporting

Adam Williams and Gary Smee

  1. Warwickshire 7-0 (target 213) v Derbyshire

    Still no word on a resumption at Edgbaston where there is still a lot of heavy cloud around.

  2. rain stops play

    Rain stops play

    Gloucestershire 185-2 (target 228) v Surrey

    It's been approaching for a while and now it's arrived.

    A heavy rain shower forces the players off at Bristol with Gloucestershire still 43 short of their target of 228.

    Will they get back on?

  3. Gloucestershire 180-2 (target 228) v Surrey

    48 needed for Gloucestershire as the boundaries continue to flow. Skies are darkening though.

    Graeme van Buuren has 89, Chris Dent 67.

    If one of these showers hits, it could be game over.

  4. 6 runs

    for Van Buuren

    Gloucestershire 166-2 (target 228) v Surrey

    Graeme van Buuren launches Reece Topley for six. It looks like the weather is closing in at the County Ground with Gloucestershire still needing 62 runs for victory.

    They'll be hoping the showers stay away.

  5. 100 runs

    for Adam Lyth

    Yorkshire (193 & 197-4) need 182 more runs to beat Glamorgan (330 & 241-4 dec)

    LythRex Features

    A century for Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth at Headingley.

    His effort so far looks like steering his side to a draw with 20 overs still to bowl.

    He gets to his 25th first-class ton off 166 balls, including 13 fours and two sixes.

  6. Essex draw with Worcestershire
    Breaking

    Essex 490-9 & 28-1 v Worcestershire 475

    Early handshakes all round at Chelmsford where the result of this one has been on the cards pretty much since yesterday afternoon.

    Champions Essex draw with Worcestershire in a game where bat very much dominated ball over four days.

    Essex take 13 points and Worcestershire 12.

  7. 50 runs

    for Dent

    Gloucestershire 145-2 (target 228) v Surrey

    Half-century number two of the game for Gloucestershire captain Chris Dent.

    He's taking his side to victory alongside Graeme van Buuren. Their third-wicket stand is worth 112 at more than five an over.

  8. Durham toiling

    Nottinghamshire (267 & 182-4) need 214 more runs to beat Durham (330 & 332-4 dec)

    MullaneyRex Features

    Not looking like much happening with the ball for Durham in this evening session.

    Steven Mullaney and Lyndon James largely untroubled in the middle for Nottinghamshire as this one seems set for a draw.

    Another 34 more overs in theory still to bowl.

  9. Snow stops play

    Warwickshire 7-0 (target 213) v Derbyshire

    And now a snow shower arrives at Edgbaston.

    Done with this winter weather now.

  10. Gloucestershire 131-2 (target 228) v Surrey

    Gloucestershire need less than 100 to beat Surrey.

    Graeme van Buuren continues to motor - he has 65 off as many balls.

    Captain Chris Dent has calmly worked his way to 44.

    Surrey will be ruing losing those four quick wickets at the end of their innings either side of lunch.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Brook c B Root b Hogan 60 (Yorkshire 193 & 176-4 v Glamorgan 330 & 241-4 dec)

    Are Glamorgan still in with a sniff of victory?

    Harry Brook is dismissed for 60 to end his fourth-wicket partnership of 131 with Adam Lyth (85 not out).

    Brook drives a touch too early on a ball from Michael Hogan and is easily caught by Billy Root at extra cover.

    A minimum of 26 overs still to bowl for Glamorgan to try and take six more wickets.

  12. NORTHANTS DRAW WITH KENT
    Breaking

    Northants (434) drew with Kent (455 & 42-1)

    And that heavy snow shower signals the end of this high-scoring game.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    A Cook b Leach 12 (Essex 490-9 dec & 17-1 v Worcestershire 475)

    Probably academic in the circumstances, but worthy of note....

    Alastair Cook is bowled for just 12 in Essex's second innings as Joe Leach gets one comprehensively through his defences to send his stumps flying.

  14. Gloucestershire 119-2 (target 228) v Surrey

    Back under way for the final session in Bristol.

    Gloucestershire need another 109 runs with 39 and a bit overs to go.

    They'll be hoping the light/weather holds out.

  15. Bears "chase" begins

    Warwickshire (221 & 0-0) need 213 more runs to beat Derbyshire (189 & 244)

    Will Rhodes and Dom Sibley open up Warwickhsire's second innings as the sun tries to break through at Edgbaston.

    In theory, the Bears have 41 overs to try and score 213 to win.

    How much of a go will they give this?

  16. Snow stops play

    Northants 434 v Kent 455 & 42-1

  17. Northants 434 v Kent 455 & 34-1

    One game that hasn't got much of a mention today is at Wantage Road. Two high first-innings scores and bad weather mean things are drifting to a draw there.

    Kent have begun their second innings and have lost Daniel Bell-Drummond. England batsman Zak Crawley is now at the crease on 15.

  19. It's also tea at Headingley between Yorkshire and Glamorgan and at Bristol between Gloucestershire and Surrey.

    A few other matches have already resumed after taking early intervals due to either the weather intervening or innings coming to a close.

    Let's show you what the scores on the doors are...

  20. Warwickshire set 213

    Group 1 update

    Tea taken at Edgbaston where Warwickshire have finally bowled Derbyshire out for 244 in their second innings.

    Harvey Hosein finished not out on 78 with Oliver Hannon-Dalby taking 5-76.

    That means in theory, the Bears will need 213 to win off 41 overs in the evening session.
