    for Steven Daviespublished at 17:46 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Somerset 109 & 140-6 v Essex 180

    Well batted Steven Davies, who reaches a 96-ball fifty with a single off Mark Steketee.

    The left-hander has refused to allow himself to be tied down by spinner Simon Harmer since tea, with an elegantly struck six over mid-on the shot of his innings so far. Somerset are now 70 ahead.

  2. 50 runs

    Kent 111-1 v Lancashire 506

    A quick two for Ben Compton and the Kent support are on their feet again.

    His 50 comes up from a measured 134 balls, with seven fours.

    Crawley b Parkinson 54 (Kent 109-1 v Lancashire 506)

    Key, key wicket for Lancashire as Matty Parkinson spins the ball beyond Zak Crawley.

    Twelve overs remain. Can Lancashire get any more?

  4. 100 runs

    for Harry Brookpublished at 17:40 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Gloucestershire 227 v Yorkshire 298-6

    He had to be patient, but Harry Brook finally reaches a 161-ball century with a single, chopped down to backward point, off paceman Ben Charlesworth.

    It has been a fine innings by the right-hander, who played a T20 international for England earlier in the year, featuring a six and 11 fours - and the Yorkshire lead is now 71.

    Bess c Bracey b Shaw 36 (Gloucs 227, Yorkshire 297-6)

    Harry Brook, on 99, plays out a maiden from Ben Charlesworth.

    The next over sees the end of his partnership with Dom Bess, who drives at a ball from Josh Shaw and James Bracey takes his third catch of the innings.

    Yorkshire's sixth-wicket stand was worth 71 runs.

    Back in Kent colours and back amongst the runs, England's Zak Crawley reaches his half-century with a boundary, his seventh from 103 deliveries.

    Ben Compton (43 not out) also finds the rope in the following over, bringing up the 100 partnership.

    We have the best weather of the day at the moment in CLS, and this is the sort of track which will become more placid the more the sun shines on it.

    At the moment, Leicestershire are doing well in their response to Durham's 428 all out and Hassan Azad, who batted all day last week for a century which saved a draw against Worcestershire, is now on 45 from 141 balls.

    At the moment taking 20 wickets to win this match from a Durham point of view is going to take some doing, but break this partnership and that could be a different story.

    Colin Ackermann appears to have just been dropped by keeper Ned Eckersley off Matty Potts' bowling when on 34.

    Somerset 109 & 113-6 v Essex 180

    You don't often see a short ball from Simon Harmer and Steven Davies seizes on it with relish and pulls it away for four. He is 34 not out and Somerset have surpassed their meagre first-innings total but their lead is still only 45.

  9. Postpublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Kent 91-0 v Lancashire 506

    A lovely four through the off-side followed by a couple of singles moves Zak Crawley on to 48.

    A good, patient knock this.

  10. Division Two round-uppublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Hassan Azad and Colin Ackermann have just posted a 50 partnership for Leicestershire, who are 103-2, replying to Durham's 428 all out.

    Glamorgan are hanging on against Nottinghamshire following the loss of Sam Northeast for 85 and are now 263-8, 39 runs in arrears.

    Derbyshire are striving for their first wicket of the final session, with Sussex on 112-4 after the home side declared on 505-8 earlier in the day.

    Surrey's relentless attack continues.

    After some solid resistance since tea, the breakthrough finally arrives as Ian Holland is pinned by Jordan Clark leg before.

    Hampshire still trail by 384.

    Somerset reach three figures but then lose the crucial wicket of Matt Renshaw, who tries to flick Sam Cook away through the leg-side but fails to make contact and is lbw. They are just 30 runs ahead as Lewis Gregory arrives to partner Steven Davies.

    Brook ups the tempopublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Gloucestershire 227 v Yorkshire 279-5

    Harry Brook straight drives Ryan Higgins for four and then hoists the next delivery over the rope at mid-wicket to post a 50 partnership with Dom Bess from 83 balls - and also push Yorkshire lead past 50.

    Brook is now 94 not out and has a fifth first-class century firmly in his sights.

  14. wicket

    Northeast b Paterson 85 (Notts 302 v Glamorgan 248-8)

    Glamorgan lose two wickets in the space of three deliveries, with Michael Neser bowled by Joey Evison and then, at the start of the next over, Sam Northeast losing his off stump to a full-length delivery from Dane Paterson.

    Northeast hit eight fours in his 162-ball innings and he and David Lloyd, who made 76 earlier in the day, have played the main hands in ensuring Glamorgan will not be too far behind if the tail is unable to wag on this occasion.

    Kent 73-0 v Lancashire 506

    At a run rate of 2.44 Kent aren't exactly attacking.

    But their opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Compton are doing a quietly excellent job.

  16. Postpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Gloucestershire 227 v Yorkshire 253-5

    No joy yet for Gloucestershire in the final session in Bristol, where Yorkshire have claimed their second batting point with a Dom Bess cover drive off Ryan Higgins for four taking their total past 250. Harry Brook is still there at the other end, with 81 to his name.

    The former Kent and Hampshire batsman has just pulled Joey Evison for the eighth four of his innings and is now being partnered by Australian Michael Neser, who is on 14.

  18. Tea at Derbypublished at 16:39 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Derbyshire 505-8 dec v Sussex 92-4

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex commentator

    A terrific session for Derbyshire who added 68 quick runs to set up a declaration, and then took four Sussex wickets.

    Alex Thomson raced to a maiden first-class half-century from just 49 balls, and Nick Potts smashed a huge six over the members pavilion on his debut, before removing the Sussex skipper with his ninth delivery, a decision that didn’t meet with Tom Haines approval.

    However, the icing on the cake was the dismissal of Cheteshwar Pujara, who was caught behind just before tea leaving Sussex a mountain to climb.

  19. Postpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 15 April 2022

    Somerset 109 & 83-5 v Essex 180

    The final session is under way in Taunton and Steven Davies has just picked up four runs through the backward point area off Sam Cook.

    Ideally, the home side would like Davies and Matt Renshaw - who is 37 not out - to be still together at the close, but that looks like a tall order the way this match has gone so far.

    Kent continue to motor along nicely.

    Zak Crawley is on 29 not out with Ben Compton unbeaten on 34.
