  2. wicket

    WICKET Ingram c Thomason b Carson 27

    Glam 64-2 need 275 to beat Sussex

    Second strike for Sussex and your man Jack Carson has removed another very dangerous hitter in Colin Ingram.

    A tame dismissal as he taps a full delivery to short leg.

    Good sharp catch though by Aaron Thomason in his right hand.

    29 overs left on the south coast.

  3. Lancashire 259-9 dec v Kent 74 & 122-5

    A moment of alarm for Kent as an uppish drive by Darren Stevens flew just out of James Anderson's reach. Two maidens since then - Stevens is 12 not out and Jack Leaning has 40. Kent are 62 behind with 25 overs left.

  4. Middx 52-2 need 420 to beat Glos

    At 8-2 more carnage appeared to be heading Middlesex's way but Stevie Eskinazi and captain Pete Handscomb have steadied the ship.

    Still 37 overs remain on day three.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Geddes b de Grandhomme 15

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 72 & 87-6

    Colin de GrandhommeRex Features

    With a silly mid-on and silly mid-off in place, Colin de Grandhomme knocks out Ben Geddes' off stump and Hampshire now need four more wickets for victory. Geddes added 27 in 16 overs with Hashim Amla.

    Jordan Clark is the new batsman and is immediately hit on the shoulder by one that bounces far more than he expected.

    Who does Colin de Grandhomme remind me of with his mullet? It's Rambo."

    BBC Radio London's Mark Church

  6. Hampshire 488 v Surrey 72 & 87-5

    After five overs for no runs, Colin de Grandhomme's figures are spoiled by Ben Geddes collecting two runs and a boundary through square leg in his latest over.

    It moves the teenager into double figures with the immovable object Hashim Amla on 26 at the other end. There are 30 overs to go - five until the second new ball.

  7. Lancashire 259-9 dec v Kent 74 & 117-5

    Two runs for Jack Leaning in the latest Luke Wood over take him to 40 not out. Kent now need 68 more to avoid an innings defeat - with 29 overs left in the day's play.

  8. Hampshire 488 v Surrey 72 & 80-5

    Hashim Amla has 26 not out from 178 balls faced.

    For those interested in slow scoring, here are some facts supplied by cricket statistician Andrew Samson.

  9. rain stops play

    Latest from Edgbaston

    Warwickshire 237 v Durham 253-7

    There will be an inspection at 16:45. Chances receding of further play.

  10. Play resumes at the Ageas Bowl

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 72 & 78-5

    Here we go again. Felix Organ will bowl for Hampshire with 36 overs to come. Will Surrey survive?

  11. Lancashire 259-9 dec v Kent 74 & 110-5

    James Anderson's latest burst has ended and Old Trafford and Luke Wood is back into the attack for Lancashire. Anderson has 1-24 from 12 overs to go with his seven wicket in the first innings.

    Kent have 33 overs to survive after this one and are 75 runs behind. Jack Leaning is 36 not out and Darren Stevens has four.

  12. Sussex 'may have left it too late'

    Sussex 226 &263-6 dec v Glamorgan 215 & 33-1

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex

    A Sussex declaration leaving Glamorgan to score 275 in 51 overs may be too conservative to allow for a run chase.

    However, the hosts will have been encouraged with the last ball before tea from leg-spinner Will Beer turning sharply.

    Ben Brown, the Sussex skipper, brought up his 20th first-class hundred with a six over deep backward square after which the declaration followed.

    Meanwhile, during the lunch break Jofra Archer continued his comeback from elbow surgery, bowling at what looked on occasions to be at almost full pace.

  13. rain stops play

    No resumption at Edgbaston

    Warwickshire 237 v Durham 253-7

    No play since lunch at Edgbaston and the chances of any more seem remote. David Bedingham is 92 not out for Durham.

  14. Lancashire 259-9 dec v Kent 74 & 105-5

    Kent have lost another wicket while we were looking for a tortoise (don't ask), with Tawanda Muyeye adjudged lbw for seven as he pushed forward to spinner Tom Hartley. Darren Stevens is now out there as Jack Leaning's new partner.

  15. Tea at Cheltenham

    Middx 27-2 need 420 to beat Glos

    Both openers gone, a very tight start with the ball and Gloucestershire already on the victory path.

    44 overs left in a two-session day at Cheltenham after morning rain.

  16. Tea at the Ageas Bowl

    Hampshire 488 v Surrey 72 & 78-5

    Ben Geddes takes a single off Brad Wheal as Surrey reach tea, having added 53 during the afternoon session for the loss of Ryan Patel and Jamie Smith. There are 36 overs left in the day and the new ball will be available to Hampshire after 11 of them.

    Hashim Amla has 26 not out and Geddes is on 6 - 40 of the 69 overs bowled in the innings so far have been maidens.

  17. Tea at Hove

    Glam 33-1 need 275 to beat Sussex

    A potentially interesting final session coming up.

    39 overs remain, Glamorgan require another 242 and Sussex nine wickets.

    It could of course just be a handshake before the final hour.

  18. Lancashire 259-9 dec v Kent 74 & 103-4

    Jack Leaning forces James Anderson away for four through the off-side off the back foot as Kent's total passes 100. They need another 82 to avoid an innings defeat with 39 overs to go after this one.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Lloyd c Thomason b Meaker 17

    Glam 20-1 need 275 to beat Sussex

    Dangerous player David Lloyd and he began brightly with two fours and a flick over square leg for six.

    But Meaker has the last laugh as Lloyd goes to turn a full ball to leg and gets a leading edge to second slip.

  20. Lancashire 259-9 dec v Kent 74 & 90-4

    They are back out at Old Trafford for the final session. James Anderson has the ball and there are 44 overs to be bowled. Just one run off the bat as Jack Leaning advances to 26 not out.
