Image source, Getty ImagesMASSIVE breakthrough for Middlesex at Lord's.
Ollie Pope pushes at one from Martin Andersson outside off stump and edges through to the keeper.
The England batsman made two starts in this game but was unable to go on. He's furious with himself.
Surrey still trail by 35 as Ben Foakes comes in at five.
12 and a bit overs remain tonight.
Sussex 221 v Yorkshire 150 & 145-4
A big last half-hour coming up at Hove.
If Yorkshire can get to stumps four down, they'll still feel they're well in the game.
Another couple of wickets for Sussex and they'll be on top.
Yorkshire's lead stands at 74 with Gary Ballance on 24.
Rossington lbw b Hogan 76 (Northants 213-7 v Glamorgan 407)
Northants may struggle to avoid the follow-on now.
Adam Rossington goes to Michael Hogan's first ball of his new spell, lbw.
They need to get to 258 to avoid the follow-on.
Kent 47-3 v Lancashire 525
Zak Crawley is dealing in boundaries for Kent.
The England batsman has just struck Tom Bailey for three in a row and has raced onto 38 off 33 balls. Eight fours in that.

Ollie Pope is a class above at times.
The 23-year-old has just hit Martin Andersson for three boundaries in a row to move to 31.
The first was a dreamy cover drive, the second a lovely whip off the pads, and he followed it with another flick off his legs.
Hampshire 470 v Gloucestershire 75-1
Kraigg Brathwaite and James Bracey are starting to look settled as Gloucestershire recover from the early loss of captain Chris Dent.
New West Indies Test captain Brathwaite has so far made 37 and England Lions wicketkeeper Bracey 32.
Kent 23-3 v Lancashire 525
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a day Lancashire all-rounder Luke Wood is having.
After scoring 119 with the bat earlier, he's now taken two Kent wickets - firstly captain Daniel Bell-Drummond and now Joe Denly a few moments ago.
Kent are in a whole lot of strife, although Zak Crawley is still there.
Middlesex 268 v Surrey 154 & 55-2
England pair Rory Burns and Ollie Pope have just steadied things for Surrey after those couple of early wickets.
Burns has moved to 33, with Pope on 19.
Surrey still trail by 59, and another wicket or two this evening would leave them in real danger.
Durham 475, Derbyshire 83-3
Wayne Madsen (36) and Matt Critchley (25) post a fifty partnership as they continue to pull the Derbysihre reply round against Durham.
No surprise really that trhe in-form Critchley is off and running. His previous four innings this season (64 and 83 against Warwickshire, then 109 and 84 against Worcestershire) had brought him 340 runs in four innings.
Worcestershire 436, Nottinghamshire 60-0
Nottinghamshire are already past 50 in response to Worcestershire's 436 all out.
Haseeb Hameed (31) and Ben Slater (23) have so far struck three boundaries each on a flat pitch that is clearly of great credit to the New Road groundstaff in the first home game of the summer, after yet another weather-hit winter.
Leics 233 & 3-2 v Somerset 318
Josh Davey and Craig Overton have both picked up a wicket in the first couple of overs of Leicestershire's second innings.
Hassan Azad and Harry Deaden the men to go. The Foxes are in trouble.
Warwickshire 211-8 v Essex 295
Warwickshire still look likely to trail Essex on first innings - but they have at least gone past 200 to claim a batting point.
Danny Briggs is on 18, with Craig Miles on 6. They have so far put on 18.
But a second point is probably beyond them.
Northants 174-5 v Glamorgan 407
Image source, Getty ImagesSkipper Adam Rossington is leading a bit of a fightback for Northants.
He goes to his half-century off 72 balls, an innings which has included a couple of sixes.
Saif Zaib has aided the recovery with his captain in a stand worth 98.
Root c Brown b Carson 5 (Sussex 221 v Yorkshire 150 & 113-3)
Image source, Getty ImagesJoe Root is gone!
The England Test captain is out for five for the second time in the match as he drives loosely and edges Sussex spinner Jack Carson behind.
Asides from a hundred in his last game, the cupboard has been pretty bare for Root in his six innings this season.
151 runs at an average of 25.16.
Leics 233 v Somerset 318
Anthony Gibson
BBC Somerset
So a first innings lead of 85 for Somerset - useful but not, one feels decisive.
Tom Abell will be hoping that his quartet of seamers can conjure the sort of swing which saw Chris Wright completely bamboozle the Somerset last man, Marchant de Lange, with the second new ball.
Kent 3-1 v Lancashire 525
Kent have already lost opener Jordan Cox for a duck and so England batsman Zak Crawley is in the middle.
We'll keep a close eye on how he does at Canterbury.
Leics 233 v Somerset 318
Somerset's last two wickets go down in the space of four balls.
First Gavin Griffiths gets Steven Davies for 59 before Chris Wright bowls Marchant de Lange in the next over.
A handy first-innings lead of 85 for the visitors.

There's a long way to but Wayne Madsen and Matt Critchley have shored things up a liltle for Derbyshire against Durham at Chester-le-Street.
From 26-3, when they came together in the seventh over following the early carnage from Chris Rushworth, they have already more than doubled the score to 59-3.
And they have even seen off Rushworth, who has now taken a breather after yet another destructive eight-over spell.
Amla lbw b Roland-Jones 0 (Middlesex 268 v Surrey 154 & 20-2)
Hashim Amla bags a pair...
The former South Africa batsman is trapped lbw by Toby Roland-Jones first ball.
Surrey are in all sorts of trouble as Ollie Pope walks to the middle.
