Fell c Moores b Broad 10 (Notts 400-5 dec v Worcs 21-2)
Image source, Rex FeaturesTom Fell tries to pull a short one from Stuart Broad but is caught behind and Notts are taking the wickets they needed this evening!
Gloucestershire v Somerset 300-8 dec
Clever thinking by Tom Abell, who hits two fours in three balls off Daniel Worrall to take Somerset's total to 300 and promptly declares.
Gloucestershire's batsmen will now face an awkward little session as the visitors try to pick up one or twio wickets whcih, they hope, may spark a collapse on the final day.
Abell finishes with 132 not out to his name, made from 287 balls and containing 16 boundaries. It's just three short of his highest first-class score.
Gregory b Taylor 57 (Gloucestershire v Somerset 292-8)
Lewis Gregory's innings comes to an end at Bristol as Matt Taylor squeezes one between bat and pad and just clips the top of the bails.
Gregory put on 116 with Tom Abell and they are now just eight runs short of a third batting point.
Essex 193-8 v Warwickshire 166
Slowly but surely Essex are building a small first-innings lead at Chelmsford.
SImon Harmer has 22 from 79 balls and their advantage is 27. Anything above 50 would be extremely handy.
There are dark clouds all around, but the sun is in fact out!

Surrey 190 & 90-0 v Middlesex 160
Mark Stoneman passes 50 for only the second time this season with a couple of runs off Martin Andersson. It has only taken him 58 balls and the Surrey lead is now up to 120.
Gloucestershire v Somerset 288-7
Tom Abell has lifted his tempo since reaching three figures but that wasn't his most convincing stroke as he flashed at a wide one from Daniel Worrall and top edged it over first slip for four. Abell now has 125 and partner Lewis Gregory is on 53 - their partnership worth 112.
Derbys 258 v Durham 4-0
Alex Lees and Cameron Bancroft are in the middle for Durham.
Australia batsman Bancroft is making his first appearance of the season for the county after time playing in his home country followed by a period of quarantine.
Libby c Slater b Fletcher 2 (Notts 400-5 dec v Worcs 6-1)
Notts strike early as former batsman Jake Libby falls to Luke Fletcher.
It's a really sharp one-handed grab by Ben Slater at short leg.
19 wickets to go for Notts! They'll hope to get a few of them tonight.
Kent 307 v Glamorgan 64-3 - close
As we feared (see 17:57 entry), that is all at Canterbury for the day.
After seven inspections, just 38 balls were able to be bowled.
Glamorgan are 243 in arrears, but Kent's bowlers will need to bring about two collapses on the final day if they are to win this match.
Notts 400-5 v Worcs 6-0
Worcestershire openers Daryl Mitchell and Jake Libby have begun their side's first innings.
17 overs to see out tonight.
Surrey 190 & 71-0 v Middlesex 160
Image source, Getty ImagesThe way Mark Stoneman and Rory Burns are going about this suggests Surrey want to set Middlesex a target on the final day.
Anything loose is being seized upon and the two left-handers have struck 12 boundaries between them so far.
The lead is now over 100 as Burns picks up three runs in Martin Andersson's opening over of the innings. In theory, there are 18 more to come.
Hants (233 & forfeit) drew with Leics (84 & 26-1)
With Leicestershire deciding not to chase 150 in 22 overs the game ends in a draw.
Another fixture this season that has been heavily disrupted by rain.
Hampshire take 12 points from the game, Leicestershire 11 and Hants are still well in the mix to make it through the group stage.
Leicestershire are still winless in six games this season.
Kent 307 v Glamorgan 64-3
It took seven inspections by the umpires before we saw play at the Spitfire Ground but that may be it for the day as the light closes in.
Glamorgan have added 13 for the loss of Joe Cooke, with Billy Root 26 not out and Kiran Carlson yet to score.
Root drove Darren Stevens through mid-off for four in the latest over but despite that, the umpires felt unable to continue.
Derbys 258 v Durham
Chris Rushworth finishes the innings by pinning Anuj Dal lbw and the paceman ends with 6-49.
32 wickets this season at an average of 14.84. Mightily impressive.
Notts 400-5 dec v Worcs
Steven Mullaney edges Josh Tongue behind for an excellent 88 off 73 balls and a couple of singles later Notts declare on 400-5.
Maximum batting bonus points for the hosts.
Ben Duckett finishes on 177 not out.
Worcestershire will have 17 overs to face this evening.

Just moments after Tom Abell reached his century, Lewis Gregory cracks David Payne through the covers for four to reach 50 off 77 balls.
It has been a mixture of watchfulness and aggression and has helped put Somerset on top since slumping from 127-2 to 176-7.
Surrey 190 & 55-0 v Middlesex 160
Rory Burns and Mark Stoneman are starting to make Middlesex suffer in the final session at The Oval. After a push to extra cover for one by Stoneman brings up a 50 partnership, he finds the boundary at the start of the next over from Ethan Bamber - his sixth so far.
Cooke b Quinn 10 (Glamorgan 307 v Glamorgan 60-3)
Joe Cooke is unable to add to his overnight score at Canterbury as Matt Quinn jags a beauty back past his defensive push and flattens one of the stumps. Kiran Carlson is the new batsman for Glamorgan.
Derbys 245-9 v Durham
Chris Rushworth takes five wickets in an innings for the 29th time in his career!
The Durham paceman has Sam Conners caught by Alex Lees first ball to leave Derbyshire nine down.
Dustin Melton survives the hat-trick ball.
