100 for Josh Bohannonpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time 29 May 2021

14:05 BST 29 May 2021

Lancashire 466-6, Yorkshire 159

Josh Bohannon goes to his century as the Lancashire lead in the Roses Match over Yorkshire stretches past 300.

It came off 260 balls and it's Bohannon's second first-class ton - but it's a first in a Roses Match for the Bolton lad and his first in front of a crowd too.

It's very well received by the always appreciative Old Trafford crowd, who clap loudly and roar their approval.

More cheers then follow when he then lifts Harry Brook for six - his second of this otherwise painstaking knock.

Will Rhodes becomes the first Warwickshire bowler to take two wickets today as he has Luke Fletcher caught behind.

Three bowling points now for the Bears. Notts' last pair have a job on to get a third batting point.

50 for Danny Lambpublished at 13:56 British Summer Time 29 May 2021

13:56 BST 29 May 2021

Lancashire 454-6, Yorkshire 159

Danny Lamb completes his third first-class half-century to help Lancashire stretch their lead to 295.

It may be a little dwarfed by his little sister Emma's ton this morning in the Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Trophy for North West Thunder against Western Storm - but any runs in a Roses Match should probably count double, so they're on a par really.

Straight after lunch and Sam Cook grabs a wicket, trapping Durham skipper Scott Borthwick for 29.

The hosts are 47-2 and require a further 338 to win.

And we're also back in Sussex, with Northamptonshire immediately taking the new ball.

Lancashire are first to get the afternoon session underway at Old Trafford.

Josh Bohannon moves two runs closer to a second ton in first-class cricket.

A pretty even morning - Derbyshire adding 102, while Worcestershire picked up three more wickets - but the home side remain in the box seat, with the visitors still 79 runs off the follow-on target.

Whether Worcestershire would enforce that anyway is a moot point as this pitch continues to reward discipline with both bat and ball.

Daryl Mitchell has held onto two sharp chances at slip with Jack Haynes catching a flyer at third slip on the stroke of lunch to end Fynn Hudson-Prentice's perky knock and send the home side into lunch with some bounce.

Matt Critchley was given a life on 10 by Tom Fell at first slip and has made his second stab count so far, spanking six fours in his unbeaten 41 to take him past 600 runs for the season.

This game probably needed to gather a pace a little today for a positive result tomorrow, and both teams seemed to play this morning with that in mind.

Poor light this morning made everyone grateful that we had started at all, and Warwickshire will be the happier side, having eventually shared around five wickets.

Craig Miles set the early pace, when Lyndon James was left to regret not playing at a ball that curved back sharply.

Joe Clarke passed 50 but fell to Tim Bresnan shortly afterwards. Steven Mullaney counter-attacked, but overreached himself in Danny Briggs' first over of spin and Tom Moores then drilled a return catch just before the new ball was due,

They resisted Liam Norwell's lively new-ball spell for a while but, after passing the outside of Zak Chappell's bat several times, he removed him in a more unexpected way, a chip to midwicket.

A session that has ebbed and flowed, with Northamptonshire seizing the initiative just before lunch.

Tom Haines, with 103 (his second hundred of the season), and Ben Brown (71*), shared a partnership of 111, before Haines became Simon Kerrigan;s third victim.

Enter Tom Taylor, who removed Rawlins and Garton in successive deliveries to hand the initiative back to the visitors.

With the new ball available after lunch Northants will be keen to wrap up the innings, as a chase of 200 plus may be tricky on a wicket where the odd ball has kept low.

We've now reached lunch in all seven games, so here's how we're looking after the morning session on day three.

Group One

Durham 99 & 47-1, Essex 182 & 301

Notts 274-8, Warwickshire 341

Derbyshire 193-6, Worcestershire 421

Group Two

Middlesex 295 & 125-4, Leicestershire 136

Gloucestershire 113-7, Surrey 495

Group Three

Lancashire 439-6, Yorkshire 159

Sussex 175 & 241-7, Northants 256

The morning session at Worcester ends with Derbyshire in a little spot of bother on 193-6 - still 228 runs adrift and needing a further 79 to avoid the threat of being asked to follow on.

Fynn Hudson-Prentice falls on the stoke of lunch for 25 - a second wicket for home skipper Joe Leach. But Matt Critchley is still there on 41, chasing a sixth 50 in seven games this season.

Josh Bohannon gets to lunch unbeaten on 92 looking for just his second first-class century for Lancashire.

He’s been in the 90s twice before, left unbeaten and without a partner to bat with on 98 against Leicestershire at Aigburth, Liverpool in 2019, then dismissed for 94 against Derbyshire last year.

His approach with the bat in this game has been faultless, following on from the example set by Keaton Jennings and Luke Wells.

Lancashire are in total control of this Roses Match. It looks increasingly likely that it will be a home declaration, rather than Yorkshire taking four more wickets.

And it's also lunch on day three at Chester-le-Street.

Jamie Porter may have removed Australian Cameron Bancroft in the third over, but Durham have rallied since with captain Scott Borthwick unbeaten on 29 and opener Alex Lees 11 not out.

The hosts still need a mammoth 338 to win though.

It's 10 past one in Birmingham - and off they go for lunch.

Five wickets in the morning session for Warwickshire. All different bowlers.

90 overs gone. One more wicket for maximum bowling points for the Bears. 26 more runs for the last two Notts wickets to eke out another batting point.

A good start to day three at Leicestershire as the hosts take three wickets in the session.

But it's still advantage Middlesex as the Londoners lead by 284 with six wickets in hand.

A brilliant morning session for Surrey ends with a fifth wicket as a low Jamie Overton catch at leg slip helps Dan Morairty remove Jonathan Tattersall for seven.

The hosts very much in control.

Josh Bohannon and Danny Lamb remain unparted at Old Trafford after a second successive wicketless morning for Yorkshire - and go to lunch just one run away from posting their first century stand together.

Good effort from both, but Lamb has actually been outscored by his sister this morning.

While he is in 40, Emma Lamb has a ton all on her own. She is on 106 for North West Thunder against Western Storm in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.

Lunch on the south coast. Sussex lead by 160.

Two very important late wickets from Tom Taylor, plus the new ball is due when we return.

We've also had two quick wickets at Grace Road where Leicestershire bowlers Ben Mike and Will Davis have bowled Nick Gubbins and Robbie White for 38 and 10 respectively.

Middlesex are still in control though, leading by 283 with six wickets in hand.
