Surry 467 v Hampshire 0-0
Joe Weatherly and Ian Holland open the batting for Hampshire.
Kemar Roach has the ball for Surrey.
Somerset 109 & 34-3 v Essex 180
Essex have four slips in place at Taunton, so a leg-stump half-volley isn't the kind of delivery required.
Mark Steketee is punished for erring in both line and length as Tom Abell flicks it away for four through the leg-side.
Two balls later, Abell finds the boundary again, this time dabbed down to third man past the well-populated cordon.
Jacks lbw b Barker 72 (Surrey 467 v Hampshire)
A marvellous innings comes to an end.
Will Jacks' late heroics are finally ended by Keith Barker who takes his fourth wicket, pinning Jacks leg before.
That was a 48-run final partnership. How crucial will those runs turn out to be?
Hildreth b Snater 6 (Somerset 109 & 23-3 v Essex 180)
Another one gone at Taunton as a good ball from Shane Snater just beats the outside edge of James Hildreth's bat but shaves the top of off stump on the way through to the keeper.
Matt Renshaw and Tom Abell are now together for Somerset, who are still 48 in arrears.

Gloucestershire 227 v Yorkshire 182-4
New Gloucestershire skipper Graeme van Buuren clearly doesn't believe in giving batters time to settle. He has just brought himself into the attack at Bristol, the seventh Gloucestershire bowler to turn his arm over.
Yorkshire are looking pretty solid at the moment and three Harry Duke boundaries in the same Josh Shaw over bring the deficit down to 45 runs.
Duke now has 28 not out and has almost caught partner Harry Brook, who is on 31.
Surrey 466-9 v Hampshire
Back-to-back sixes, Will Jacks is having fun out here and moves on to 74.
Hampshire don't know how to get him out.
Surrey 448-9 v Hampshire
And that's his 50, coming off 78 balls with six fours and two sixes.
Surrey 447-9 v Hampshire
What a response from Will Jacks. After going nine down, he's helped Surrey pile on some valuable runs.
He's moved on to 49 not out with another six.
Number 11 James Taylor is on 0 from eight balls. Jack Leach-esque.
Kent 0-0 v Lancashire 506
Here we go.
Ben Compton and England's Zak Crawley open for Kent.
Sussex have just begun their first innings at Derby, where the home side finally declared on 505-8. Alex Thomson made 52 off 49 balls for Derbyshire, who called a halt when Henry Crocombe (3-131) dismissed Nick Potts.
Nottinghamshire have picked up the wicket of Glamorgan skipper David Lloyd, caught off Brett Hutton for 76. Sam Northeast, who helped Lloyd add 117, is still there on 58 in a score of 163-3.
No breakthrough yet for Durham, with Leicestershire 26-0 replying to the north-east county's total of 428 all out.
Lamb b Hamidullah Qadri 16 (Kent v Lancashire 506)
Swing and a miss from Danny Lamb and that's the innings.
Steven Croft starred for Lancs making 155 before falling this morning. Kent spinner Hamidullah Qadri saw plenty of turn taking 6-129.
Kent have an awful lot of work to do.
Kent v Lancashire 503-9
That's the 500 up for Lancashire.
Danny Lamb (15 not out) and Matty Parkinson (12 not out) are holding firm.
Green lbw Snater 5 (Somerset 109 & 7-2 v Essex 180)
Ben Green may have got away with it a few minutes ago (see 2:08 entry) but not this time.
On the ground where Jack Brooks is normally the one in the headband, Essex's Shane Snater wins an lbw decision and Somerset are once again in trouble after trailing by 71 on first innings.
Surrey 426-9 v Hampshire
Surrey respond in style.
Will Jacks launches James Fuller for six.
Roach lbw b Barker 3 (Surrey 412-8 v Hampshire)
West Indies bowler Kemar Roach is the latest to fall after lunch as Hampshire clean up the tail.
James Taylor comes in at number 11.
Kent v Lancashire 483-9
Through the slips!
Hamidullah Qadri thinks he his sixth wicket but Matty Parkinson's edge finds a gap.
Lammonby c A Cook b S Cook 2 (Somerset 109 & 7-1 v Essex 180)
Sam Cook comes in from round the wicket, finds the edge of Tom Lammonby's bat and namesake Sir Alastair takes the first-slip catch millimetres above the ground.
Somerset needed a good start, but they haven't got one and need another 64 to avoid an innings defeat.
Gloucestershire 227 v Yorkshire 150-4
Moments after narrowly avoiding being run out, Harry Brook pulls Ajeet Dale through mid-wicket for four to take the Yorkshire total to 150.
He is a player with international aspirations and a big score here can only help him in the post-Root captaincy era - assuming there is anyone keeping an eye on county cricket with so many jobs vacant around the England team.
Somerset 109 & 5-0 v Essex 180
Essex paceman Mark Steketee is convinced he has Ben Green lbw. The wicketkeeper and slips go up as well and nobody bothers to watch where the ball has gone.
The umpire must have thought there was an inside edge because he signals four runs as it rolls away to the boundary.
Kent v Lancashire 476-9
....Not today. A single from number 11 Matty Parkinson.
