Tea is taken at New Road after Durham are bowled out by Worcestershire for 380.

Last man out is Ben Raine, caught by Jake Libby to give Ed Barnard his first wicket.

The Pears need 250 to make Worcestershire bat again.

They're also off for tea at Headingley, where Yorkshire have made decent progress in cutting the deficit to 160 with eight wickets still in hand.

Dawid Malan (40 not out) and Gary Ballance (25 not out) are both well set.

And it's also the tea interval at sunny Taunton. Such a huge contrast to conditions today in the south east.

Somerset have continued to dominate the day's play in that afternoon session.

They've taken three more Hampshire wickets to leave them on 157-6, still 203 runs behind.

James Vince (29), Liam Dawson (3) and Sam Northeast (67) were dismissed as the visitors hopes of building partnerships were dashed.

Warwickshire are now three wickets down after losing opener Rob Yates, who is clean bowled by Luis Reece for 5.

With five overs to go until tea, Matt Lamb comes on to join Sam Hain - and starts with two boundaries.

Tea time at Leicester.

Gloucestershire's reply to Leicestershire's 451 has seen them lose skipper Chris Dent (12) and Glenn Phillips (16) to the twin-spin threat of Colin Ackermann and Callum Parkinson.

Gloucestershire 85-2 with Miles Hammond not out on 41.

Essex v Nottinghamshire 248-6

And sadly, it's now confirmed that play is off for the day at Chelmsford....

The day's play has already been called off at Canterbury and we are about to find out whether it's the same story at Chelmsford.

Umpires Ian Blackwell and Neil Mallender are due to make a decision at 4.00.

Spin does the trick yet again for Leicestershire as they take a second Gloucestershire wicket.

Callum Parkinson gets in on the act this time as he dismisses Glenn Phillips for 16.

Marcus Harris adds to his 148 with the bat with a spectacular catch over his left shoulder running back from mid-off.

Miles Hammond continues unbeaten on 38 at the other end.

Having stumbled from 305-4 to 342-8, Ben Raine has come in to help David Bedingham see Durham to a fourth batting point.

With six overs left to the 110-over cut-off, they need 33 to add a fifth. Or for the Pears to take a ninth wicket for maximum bowling points?

Another big blow for Hampshire as they lose a sixth wicket at Taunton.

Somerset skipper Tom Abell puts himself on to break another partnership as he induces a mistimed pull shot from Northeast.

He top-edges it high into the air and Steven Davies has plenty of time to settle himself underneath it for a routine catch.

Northeast dismissed for 67 and Hampshire still 212 behind with four wickets in hand.

Having opted not to enforce the follow-on at Derby, Warwickshire are off to a dodgy start themselves, losing two wickets inside the first four overs.

Skipper Will Rhodes is bowled by the first ball of the third over, from Sam Conners then, just 11 balls later, Pieter Malan is caught behind off Pieter Malan for a seventh-ball duck.

Kent v Northamptonshire 362-5

Sadly the weather has won out in the Garden of England today....

David Bedingham is still ploughing on, having got to 109 - but he has seen three more wickets go down at the other end in the space of 25 balls.

Dillon Pennington removed Jack Burnham and Brydon Carse, either side of Joe Leach having Ned Eckersley caught behind.

The Pears already trail by a daunting 212.

Roelof van der Merwe has been introduced into the Somerset attack with his off-spin.

He performed some heroics with the bat yesterday as his 88 provided vital support for Lewis Gregory's 107.

Hasn't found a breakthrough just yet from the River End, but there are plenty of "oohs and aahs" from the fielders around the bat.

Sam Northeast (55 not out) and Lewis McManus (10 not out) doing their best to try and build a partnership for the sixth wicket for Hampshire.

After holding up Glamorgan for more than 18 overs with a stand of 29, Lancashire's ninth-wicket pair of Danny Lamb and Saqib Mahmood are finally parted.

Lamb is caught behind off David Lloyd for 19 but last man Matt Parkinson is not the worst last man there has ever been. He comes in to get off the mark with a boundary.

And Mahmood follows that by smacking his first boundary to mark the dangerous Michael Neser's return.

The lead is now up to 187 - which would already be the highest score of this game, if Glamorgan were to get there.

Wicket time at Grace Road where Gloucestershire captain Chris Dent is the first to depart for the visitors after a strong start to their reply.

Colin Ackermann comes around the wicket to the left-hander and bowls him with a beauty of a ball that squares him and then turns away from the bat to clip off stump.

Dent departs for 12 with Miles Hammond unbeaten on 30 at the other end for the Group Two leaders.

Somerset 360 v Hampshire 117-5

Sam Northeast brings up a battling half-century for Hampshire from 110 balls.

It's included 10 fours and he's had to show a combination of discipline and opportunism to put away the loose ball.

But Hampshire still with plenty of work to do at Taunton despite his best efforts.
