Somerset are racing to victory at Lord's.
Lewis Gregory swats Ethan Bamber into the leg side for four. And it's a no ball.

Nottinghamshire (267 & 135-3) need 261 more runs to beat Durham (330 & 332-4 dec)
An hour played almost in the afternoon session and Durham finding it hard to get through some resilient batting from Ben Slater (62 not out) and Lyndon James (14 not out) for Nottinghamshire.
The cloud cover is also building in the East Midlands which has forced umpires Ian Gould and Ben Denbenham to come together and have a look at conditions a couple of times.

What an innings this has been from Lewis Gregory.
It's not the prettiest stroke from the Somerset all-rounder, but he gets enough bat on the ball to send it down the ground for four.
Gregory is up to 40 off 45 balls.

39 needed!
It's a streaky boundary for George Bartlett, off the edge and past a diving first slip, but it takes Somerset even closer to victory.
His stand with Lewis Gregory is now worth 59.

Middlesex v Somerset 236-6 (target 285)
Middlesex just can't stem the flow of runs.
Lewis Gregory smacks Toby Roland-Jones high and handsome over mid-wicket.
George Bartlett follows it up in the next over by lacing Ethan Bamber through point to the rope.
The target is below 50.

Gloucestershire 0-0 (target 228) v Surrey
Chris Dent and James Bracey get the chase under way for Gloucestershire. Both made half-centuries in the first innings and put on 139 for the first wicket. The hosts wouldn't mind something like that again at Bristol.
228 needed off 63 overs.

Group 1 update
Is Warwickshire's push for victory back on at Edgbaston?
They've finally managed to break Derbyshire's stubborn sixth-wicket partnership with the wicket of Matt Critchley.
Liam Norwell got one to skid back on him for a leg before decision to end that partnership of 113 and dismiss Critchley for a fine 83.
Derbyshire now 184-6, a lead of 152 as Harvey Hosein continues on 49.
At Chelmsford, it's all about Jake Libby still and his pursuit of a career-best score.
He needs 185 to do so and is now 171 not out as the Pears marathon effort continues on 431-8 in reply to Essex's 490-9 dec.

Lancashire 407 v Sussex 301 & 103-2
Showers are bubbling up all over England now and one has arrived at Old Trafford.
The players go off with Sussex trailing by three runs. Time is not Lancashire's friend in this game.
Elsewhere in Group 3, Northants continue to build a big first-innings score against Kent - they're 413-7 with Rob Keogh unbeaten on 120. That one is almost certainly going to end in a draw.

Back-to-back boundaries for Lewis Gregory takes Somerset within 70 of victory.
The first off Tim Murtagh is lucky as he tries to play him through the leg side but gets an edge through the slips.
The second is a lovely clip through the leg side.
Gregory is up to 20 off just 22 balls.

Image source, Rex FeaturesJoe Root departs in Yorkshire's second innings for just 11!
A lovely ball from Dan Douthwaite takes the shoulder of his bat and has just enough to carry through to the waiting hands of Andy Balbirnie at first slip.
A disappointing return for the England captain in this match having only made 16 in the first innings.
The White Rose now three down and Glamorgan well on course for a famous win.
