Hampshire 163 v Yorkshire 243 & 63-1
Did Mason Crane have some marmalade for breakfast?
He sends down two rank long hops in his first over of the day as the ball 'sticks' in his hand, both put away for four by Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
Yorkshire's lead is now 143.
Hampshire 163 v Yorkshire 243 & 51-1
Kyle Abbott has gone for a scan on his foot injury, says BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James, and fellow seamer Brad Wheal is also off the field at the Ageas Bowl.
Thank goodness Hampshire will have Mohammad Abbas available for the next three games.
Keith Barker and spinner Liam Dawson are continuing to bowl and they are doing a tidy job in tandem - with only a single to George Hill in the former's latest over. The Yorkshire lead is 131.
Somerset 107 all out v Nottinghamshire 448
Brett Hutton ends the Somerset first innings when he hits the stumps as Marchant de Lange tries an almighty heave and completely misses it.
Hutton has 3-42, Luke Fletcher took 4-21 and has not even been needed this morning, while Dane Paterson picked up the other three in a fine team display of seam bowling. No-one else was required to bowl.
With a lead of 341, it's no surprise whatsoever that Somerset are going to follow-on.
Leicestershire 109 v Kent 232 & 262
Image source, Rex FeaturesChoose your own adjective to describe Darren Stevens - we'll settle for 'amazing'. The 45-year-old reached a 67-ball century with two sixes and a four off successive balls from Callum Parkinson.
Kent's second innings is, though, now at an end with James Logan bowled by Colin Ackermann, leaving Stevens 107 not out - an innings including six sixes and 13 fours.
Leicestershire need 386 to win. With Stevens in the Kent attack, it would be a major surprise if they reach that target.

Glamorgan 134 & 112 v Essex 320
Essex take just 6.5 overs to wrap up an emphatic win at Sophia Gardens - as Sam Cook claims the final two wickets with successive deliveries.
Lukas Carey is caught at mid-on for 29 and Michael Hogan's leg stump is knocked out of the ground by the next one as Cook finishes with 5-37.
Essex carried 19 points forward from the first phase of the competition and can now add another 22 to that - Glamorgan take three from the game.
Hampshire 163 v Yorkshire 243 & 50-1
No major alarms so far this morning for Yorkshire, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore hoists spinner Liam Dawson away over mid-on for six.
Is that the first maximum of the game? Yes, it is.
Kohler-Cadmore is 26 not out, George Hill has 15, and Yorkshire's lead is 130.
Somerset 101-9 v Nottinghamshire 448
The end is nigh for Somerset's first innings.
Josh Davey is tempted into playing outside off-stump by a fine delivery from Dane Paterson and Tom Moores takes an impressive diving catch behind the stumps.
Five catches now for Moores in a good display of wicketkeeping.
We have already told you how Essex are closing in on victory over Glamorgan.
Also in Division Two, Gloucestershire have yet to lose a wicket and are 99-6 against Northamptonshire, a deficit of 228.
In Division Three, Mark Stoneman has completed a pair on his Middlesex debut, bowled first ball by Sam Conners. They are 0-1 after bowling out Derbyshire for 205, a first-innings lead of 77.
Darren Stevens has hit two sixes off Callum Parkinson and is now 87 not out with Kent advancing to 242-9, a lead of 365 over Leicestershire.
Henry Crocombe has just picked his third wicket for Sussex, having Joseph Baker caught behind, to leave Worcestershire on 202-9, 62 behind.
Lancashire 115-2 v Warwickshire 371
After picking up a couple of nice fours to get the day going, Luke Wells is bowled by Liam Norwell.
The ball threatened to shape away and took the off stump and it's a good start to the morning for Warwickshire.
Somerset 97-8 v Nottinghamshire 448
The answer to my earlier entry is an emphatic no!
Jack Leach unfurled one lovely shot through the covers for a boundary but after surviving one LBW shout, his resistance is ended as he tamely edges Brett Hutton to Joe Clarke at first slip.
Easy as you like and Nottinghamshire are on their merry way again.
D2: Glamorgan 134 & 78-8 v Essex 320
A double breakthrough at Cardiff, where the game may not last much longer.
Andrew Salter is bowled behind his legs by Jamie Porter. - a strange dismissal as he barely moved across his stumps.
Timm van der Gugten follows in the next over as Sam Cook bangs one in short and he edges to the keeper.
Glamorgan need another 108 to avoid an innings defeat.
Hampshire 163 v Yorkshire 243 & 36-1
Hampshire think they have George Hill - they appeal for an inside edge to the keeper off Keith Barker, but the umpire doesn't agree and the Yorkshire opener survives. It's a maiden.
Hampshire 163 v Yorkshire 243 & 34-1
"Yorkshire are in the driving seat," says BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore and George Hill walk to the middle to resume their innings. How far can the visitors stretch their 114-run advantage?
Hampshire's Kyle Abbott is not on the field at present (see 10:48 entry).
Lancashire 100-1 v Warwickshire 371
Image source, Getty ImagesFor the third day in a row, the players from Lancashire and Warwickshire will emerge onto the field under leaden grey skies.
Centuries from Chris Benjamin and Sam Hain won day one for the Bears. Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson with the ball and Josh Bohannon with the bat led a Red Rose fightback yesterday.
But resuming 271 runs behind, they will have to bat well to get near to the visitors' total. However, with bowlers finding it hard outside of the new ball and scoring rates well below three, maybe the Old Trafford pitch is winning.
It requires a fine individual performance from someone to shape how the final two days will play out.
Somerset 87-7 v Nottinghamshire 448
Image source, Getty ImagesEveryone can remember Jack Leach's famous one not out for England as Ben Stokes went on the charge on that famous Headingley afternoon in 2019 to beat Australia by one wicket.
But only a few weeks before, he scored 90 coming in as a night-watchman against Ireland at Lord's.
He's not a night-watchman this time, but resumes on six not out with Somerset in a huge crater of trouble, 361 runs behind, and almost certainly facing the follow-on.
How his county could do with some of that 2019 magic this morning.

Hampshire 163 v Yorkshire 243 & 34-1 - play starts 11:00 BST
Image source, Rex FeaturesHampshire are keeping fingers crossed that Kyle Abbott will be able to bowl on day three against Yorkshire despite a foot injury.
The visitors are already 114 in front and Hampshire need wickets to ensure they do not face too big a target.
"He has had an issue and we under-bowled him this morning in particular. We're being cautious with him as he's a major factor for us," head coach Adi Birrell told BBC Radio Solent following the second day's play.
"We're up against it. Anything over 300 is going to be difficult to chase."
Hopefully rain will not be a factor in today's Championship action. Conditions are expected be much the same as yesterday, but BBC Weather's Simon King has all the info in the video below.
