    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 188-9

    A maiden for Dom Bess, well played Jamie Atkins. Another over ticked off with 15 remaining.

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 188-9

    Jamie Atkins takes a single and will be on strike again against spinner Dom Bess.

    Not sure that's the wisest thing to do. Bess is a wicket away from a five-for.

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 187-9

    What a collapse this has been. This game was certain for a draw 30 minutes ago.

    Number 11 Jamie Atkins ducks an opening bouncer from David Willey. 16.3 overs remain.

    Henry Crocombe c Duke b Willey 0 (Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 187-9)

    Gloved behind!

    So that's five wickets in just five overs and one ball.

    Extraordinary stuff, with Yorkshire now on the verge of an improbable victory.

    It's why we love this game isn't it?

    Maiden over from Dom Bess.

    David Willey will be bowling at teenager Henry Crocombe.

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 187-8

    Sussex's number 10 and 11 Henry Crocombe and Jamie Atkins are both just 19. What pressure.

  8. wicket

    Stuart Meaker c Brook b Willey 0 (Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 187-8)

    And another!

    Edged behind again for a two-ball duck.

    And suddenly Yorkshire need just two more wickets in 18 overs. Unbelievable.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Jack Carson c Thompson b Willey 5 (Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 187-7)

    Edged and after a little juggle Jordan Thompson just about keeps hold of the ball in the slips.

    Sussex have lost three wickets for seven runs. Yorkshire really believe now.

  10. Postpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 186-6

    Dom Bess gives little away.

    19 overs to go now. Remember you can listen to ball-by-ball commentary of this game on BBC Radio Leeds

  11. Postpublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 182-6

    Two runs from David Willey's over. New man Carson is now on strike, facing Dom Bess.

  12. Postpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 180-6

    Don't go anywhere folks.

    Bess finishes off his wicket-maiden as new man Jack Carson blocks two quicker deliveries.

    Sussex need another 65 runs to make Yorkshire bat again by the way. Highly unlikely.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Dan Ibrahim c Lyth b Bess 0 (Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 180-6)

    It's happening!

    Two in four deliveries, Dom Bess bowls Dan Ibrahim for a three-ball duck.

    Bess has figures of 4-47. Yorkshire need four wickets in 21 overs to win.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Aaron Thomason c Lyth b Bess 52 (Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 180-5)

    Hang on a second!

    Sussex's rock has gone after four hours at the crease.

    Dom Bess takes his third wicket of the game as Aaron Thomason edges to first-slip.

    Yorkshire have just under 22 overs to find five wickets. Dan Ibrahim is the new man in.

    And then there was one...

  16. KENT DRAW WITH NORTHANTSpublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 6 June 2021
    Breaking

    Kent 330-5 dec v Northants 392 & 184-8

    And without further ado the captains call it a day and the match is drawn.

    Northants skipper Adam Rossington finishes unbeaten on 59.

    Most thought this would be a draw before the day's play but there had been twists as Kent earlier took a steady flow of wickets, however Rossington stood firm and with help from various partners ensured Northants comfortably saw things out.

    Kent take 14 points while Northants take away 13 to move them up to second in Group Three for now.

  17. Postpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Kent 330-5 dec v Northants 392 & 183-8

    Kent bring on Jordan Cox for a very rare bowl as we quite possibly enter the last throws at Canterbury.

    Northants still have Adam Rossington and Simon Kerrigan at the crease on 59 not out and seven out not respectively and lead by 246.

  18. 50 runs

    for Aaron Thomasonpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 178-4

    Reaches the milestone with a four.

    To say Aaron Thomason's innings has been dogged would be a huge understatement. His half-century has come off a mammoth 175 deliveries.

    He's a machine.

  19. Postpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Somerset 360 & 409-7 v Hampshire 311 & 88-2

    Incidentally Somerset return to the top of Group Two with that result, collecting 15 points to Hampshire's 14. The visitors move up to third.

    Breaking

    Somerset 360 & 409-7 v Hampshire 311 & 88-2

    Looks like we won't be returning at 17:05 BST then.

    The two skippers are happy to call this one a draw. Not too many highlights on day four apart from George Bartlett's excellent century which he brought up this morning.
