With all games now finished for the day, let's have a look at the close of play scores...
Northants 364 v Glamorgan 407 & 205-4
Glamorgan will take a lead of 248 into the final day with Kiran Carlson and Chris Cooke the men who will return to the crease in the morning.
The game was very much in the balance at the start of their second innings and they survived the early losses of David Lloyd and Andrew Balbirnie to build that lead.
An interesting final day awaits.
Warwickshire 284 v Essex 295 & 213-9
What a last day we've got on the cards at Edgbaston.
Essex have recovered from 35-5 to close on 213-9, with Dan Lawrence (55) and Simon Harmer (62 not out) both scoring half-centuries.
Essex lead by 224 meaning Warwickshire will face a really tricky chase. When they can prize out the last wicket that is.
Worcs 436 v Notts 276 & 87-0 (f/o)
That's it for day three in Worcester.
Ben Slater and Haseeb Hameed have gone a long way towards securing a draw for Notts, seeing out 35 overs unscathed after they were asked to follow-on.
Worcestershire need early wickets on Sunday you feel.
Kent 169 & 209-1 v Lancashire 525
Image source, Rex FeaturesThings looked very shaky indeed for Kent earlier today but a fantastic fightback led by centurion skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond has given them a real boost.
After Lancashire asked Kent to follow-on it was only Matt Parkinson who had any joy with the ball when he removed Jordan Cox for 80.
Kent still trail by 147 going into the final day, but the latter part of today's play has undoubtedly been theirs.
Hampshire 470 v Gloucestershire 320 & 14-0
Kraigg Brathwaite and Chris Dent have seen out the final six overs unscathed after Hampshire enforced the follow-on.
Gloucestershire will begin Sunday morning trailing by 136.
Warwickshire 284 v Essex 295 & 209-9
Five overs left at Edgbaston.
What a final day we've got in store.
Northants 364 v Glamorgan 407 & 187-4
Billy Root has fallen swiftly after passing his half-century.
Ricardo Vasconcelos has his third catch of the innings and this time it's off the bowling of Ben Sanderson.
Not a lot of time left here but Northants will be pushing for another before close.
Durham 475 & 175-2 dec v Derbyshire 267 & 10-0
Luis Reece and Tom Wood safely negotiate the five overs before the close.
Derbyshire will need another 374 for victory on the final day, Durham require all 10 wickets.
Worcs 436 v Notts 276 & 70-0 (f/o)
Still no breakthrough for Worcestershire in this final session.
Ben Slater and Haseeb Hameed are frustrating the hosts after Notts were asked to follow-on.
Garton c Tattersall b Bess 21 (Sussex 221 & 136-6 v Yorkshire 150 & 305)
Five wickets for Dom Bess!
George Garton has been caught behind cutting at Bess' delivery and Sussex are six down.
That wicket means it'll be the close of play.
Ben Brown ends on 26 not out and it sets Sunday morning up nicely with Sussex needing 99 to win.
S Cook c Miles b Stone 7 (Warwickshire 284 v Essex 295 & 202-9)
Olly Stone finally ends Sam Cook's stubborn resistance.
Cook skies his fellow paceman to Craig Miles at mid-wicket after 44 minutes at the crease.
Last man Jamie Porter joins Simon Harmer in the middle with Essex's lead at 213.
Durham v Derbyshire 0-0 (target 384)
Luis Reece and Tom Wood get Derbyshire's second innings under way at Chester-le-Street.
Five overs to go tonight.
Warwickshire 284 v Essex 295 & 200-8
Is this a match-winning knock from Essex number eight Simon Harmer?
The South African hits Danny Briggs to the rope to bring up his fifty.
Essex have taken their lead beyond 200 with 11 overs left in the day at Edgbaston.
Northants 364 v Glamorgan 407 & 155-3
Nick Selman has batted well for his 69 but has been caught behind by Ricardo Vasconcelos off Gareth Berg.
Billy Root is now approaching his half-century with the Glamorgan lead at a run shy of 200.
Kent 169 & 198-1 v Lancashire 525
Image source, Rex FeaturesGreat stuff from Daniel Bell-Drummond who reaches his century in 180 balls.
It's a vital knock in the circumstances with the skipper leading from the front.
Kent now trail by 158.
Durham 475 & 175-2 v Derbyshire 267
Durham will indeed have a bowl tonight as they bring their second innings to a halt.
David Bedingham just had time to get to fifty before Scott Borthwick called them in. Alex Lees is unbeaten on 78.
Derbyshire, who now face a target of 384 for victory, will have five overs to see out.
Durham 475 & 163-2 v Derbyshire 267
Durham are having a swing with the bat. Maybe a declaration is on the cards tonight.
David Bedingham now has exactly 300 runs in the match - he's on 43 following his mammoth 257 in the first innings.
