Warwickshire 367 & 26-0, Somerset 389
Warwickshire's 22-run first-innings deficit has been chalked out by openers Rob Yates and Dom Sibley.
Warm applause at Edgbaston as Sibley does it with a six, slapped over midwicket off Josh Davey.
Nottinghamshire 296 v Yorkshire 73 & 347-7
Joey Evison produces a beauty to get the edge of Adam Lyth and finally end his stay at the crease.
A deserved ovation for Lyth as he leaves the field. He hit 20 fours in his innings and lasted 381 balls and has put Yorkshire 124 runs ahead.
Nottinghamshire 296 v Yorkshire 73 & 346-6
Elsewhere at Trent Bridge, Adam Lyth has brought up his 150 with a gorgeous off-drive off Joey Evison.
Wonderful batting.
Lancashire 128-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Mason Crane gets excited as he gets a bit of turn and bounce as Dane Vilas tries to play off the back foot.
Three more singles off Crane's over, though.
Middlesex 147 & 363, Kent 138 & 147-4 (Target 373)

Kent are making Middlesex wait at Canterbury as Ollie Robinson bats doggedly, having made the first half century of the match for the hosts.
The pitch isn't as lively as day one, when 12 wickets fell in the second half of the day, but the bounce is still inconsistent and the spinners are being brought into the game as a result.
Zak Crawley was the big wicket. He played around one from Toby Roland Jones but, with the powerful Darren Stevens to come in next, followed by Grant Stewart, who previously has a century against Middlesex, Kent will feel that they will at least have a shot at the huge target if they can maintain a good start to the evening session.
Lancashire 125-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Seven singles since tea for the home side. But still 71 more to win. That will feel a long way off for Red Rose supporters.
Seven singles off the target as far as Hampshire fans are concerned. Their margin of error is that little bit less.
Warwickshire 367 & 13-0, Somerset 389

Warwickshire's County Championship title hopes are not quite over as long as Lancashire are in the ascendancy in Liverpool.
If they bat boldly and successfully the Bears can give themselves two sessions to bowl at Somerset while setting them a tempting target.
A potential complication is that, as long as Yorkshire hold up Notts, then a draw for Warwickshire will be enough to secure second place.
So will they be prepared to gamble on a place in the Bob Willis Trophy final and substantial runners-up prize money for an outside chance of glory?
Lancashire 124-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Mason Crane twirls away but again Lancashire accumulate three singles off the over.
Surrey 251-2 v Glamorgan 672-6 dec

Warwickshire 367 & 9-0 Somerset 389
Dom Sibley already stepping things up a bit.
A drive through mid off for four from only his fifth ball, off Craig Overton.
Then that is followed by four leg byes.
Lancashire 121-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Steven Croft takes two singles and Dane Vilas one as Brad Wheal completes his over.
Warwickshire 367 & 1-0 Somerset 389
Two overs gone in the Warwickshire second innings following the early tea.
One big shout (for a supposed Rob Yates nick) off Josh Davey.
One run scored, by Yates.
No wickets lost.
Lancashire 118-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Steven Croft has walked out with Lancashire captain Dane Vilas to resume at Aigburth.
Brad Wheal to continue.
Which way is this match going to go?
Nottinghamshire 296 v Yorkshire 73 & 341-6
Adam Lyth continues to frustrate Nottinghamshire. The Yorkshire opener bats through another session to be 147 not out off 370 balls.
The lead is 118 and while still some way short of being a testing fourth innings target, is threatening to take the match into a fourth day.

Nottinghamshire 296 v Yorkshire 73 & 335-6
A useful partnership of 74 between Jordan Thompson and Adam Lyth is ended. Steven Mullaney induces an edge from Thompson to second slip where Ben Duckett pouches it low down.
It has taken 122 overs to get six wickets in this second innings where Yorkshire have built up a lead of 112.
Lancashire 118-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
The players go off for 20 minutes after that dismissal of Wells.
When they return, Lancashire have to score 78 more runs. Hampshire have to take six wickets.
The game, and possibly the title, is on a knife edge.
Lancashire 118-4 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Would you believe it? Another twist in this match.
Luke Wells had really started to motor but he gets a bit greedy as he tries to force off the back foot to the first ball of Brad Wheal's over and it flies into the grateful hands of James Vince at first slip.
Wells goes for 39 and that is the last ball before tea.
Lancashire 118-3 (Target 196) v Hampshire
Luke Wells uses his feet well to hit Mason Crane for four and gathers another single. Five off the over.
Warwickshire 367, Somerset 389 (136.3 overs)

Somerset now have a slender 22-run lead - but the real job done by the Cider Boys at Edgbaston was denying Warwickshire that crucial third bowling bonus point.
The Bears now need to step on it to build a big enough second-innings score for them to declare and then try to bowl out Somerset again, but a bit more quickly next time.
Still 36 overs left in the day. But tea will now be taken in Brum.
