Leicestershire pair Colin Ackermann (28 not out) and Hassan Azad (69 not out) continue to chug along in the sunshine at The Oval.

The Foxes still trail by 161 runs but this half-century partnership has settled everything back down after Jordan Clark's two wickets in two balls earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, Derbyshire have another wicket as Tom Fell, who top-scored with 69 for the Pears in the first innings, is removed by Fynn Hudson-Prentice.

Derbyshire need seven wickets in a little under two sessions. Worcestershire need 340 runs.

Timm van der Gugten survives.

A brilliant spell for Ollie Robinson who has figures of 7-78.

Callum Taylor remains unbeaten on 82.

And there's a breakthrough straight after lunch for Sussex too.

Ollie Robinson now has a six-for and Dan Douthwaite goes for 26.

Glamorgan holding on, their lead is 150.

Just heading back to Trent Bridge, it looks like Warwickshire's rate has slowed down a fair bit.

If the Bears really are batting for a draw, we may get to a situation where Dom Sibley returns to bat at number 11.

The England international hasn't been seen since day one after fracturing a finger.

He's done it. A maiden 50 for Matthew Milnes comes off 111 balls with 10 fours.

Kent need an unlikely 321 runs to win.

Dom Bess starts with a maiden. He's bowled some tight stuff conceding just 12 runs from his eight overs.

I'm sure he'd like to add a wicket though.

Nightwatchman Matthew Milnes is four away from his maiden First-class half-century. Ollie Robinson has 10 not out.

Here we go then. Day four session two. Six games still to be decided.

Men around the bat, spin at both ends, batsmen almost constantly on the front foot in defensive and a scene which dominated the last hour of the morning session and will be replicated throughout the afternoon.

However, neither Matt Parkinson or Tom Hartley have been able to cause Luke Procter too much concern.

A wonderful display of concentration and defensive play has seen the former Lancashire man bat through the session to get to lunch unbeaten on 30.

Glamorgan are inching their way towards what would be an unlikely draw in Cardiff.

The hosts have lost just one wicket this morning, when Kiran Carlson became Ollie Robinson’s ninth victim of the match.

Carlson made 132, and a magnificent 257 runs in the match.

However, since then Callum Taylor and Dan Douthwaite have dug in and, although Sussex are still favourites, time is just starting to ebb away for the visitors.

The headlines will all be about brilliant Essex and how the reigning champions fought back after being bowled out for 96 on day one. And I can understand that.

But from a Durham perspective this was the one that got away. And as many predicted it was their in-experience against the spin of Simon Harmer which cost them.

They lost seven wickets for 40 runs and ended up losing a game they had dominated for large parts by 44 runs.

There were two key elements to this defeat. They lost four wickets for three runs in the dark on day one when I don't think they should have been on the pitch. That always had the potential to come back and bite them.

And on Saturday morning they didn't bowl well enough when chasing the final four wickets in the Essex second innings. 168 was always going to be a tough ask and so it proved to be.

They have now failed to win a Championship match in nine attempts. And it's another slow start for them. You can't afford mistakes like this in conference cricket.

Lunch at Trent Bridge and remarkably Warwickshire are halfway there.

The Bears have lost just three wickets in their pursuit of 333 on day four.

Sam Hain (55 not out) and Matthew Lamb (40 not out) remain unbeaten as they head to the dressing room.

After Jordan Clark threatened a Leicestershire wobble with two wickets in two balls halfway through the morning, Hassan Azad has remained the constant to keep any Foxes nerves at bay.

He lunches unbeaten on 52. A draw remains the most likely result.

And we also break at Old Trafford with Luke Proctor 30 not out and Tom Taylor unbeaten on four for Northamptonshire.

Gloucestershire's first County Championship win at Somerset for 28 years!

James Bracey is the star of the show, adding an unbeaten 83 to his first-innings 118 to steer his side to a memorable victory.

Credit, too, to Ryan Higgins, whose seven wickets in the match also proved hugely important.

That's two wins from two for Gloucestershire.

The morning session comes to a close at Canterbury too, with Yorkshire well in control.

Five wickets needed for victory.

Lunch at Sophia Gardens and Glamorgan lead by 136 runs.

After the early dismissal of Carlson for 132, the seventh-wicket stand between Callum Taylor (72 not out) and Dan Douthwaite (23 not out) has moved on to 65, keeping the hosts in this match.
