  1. wicket

    WICKET

    Lace b Thompson 28 (Gloucs 227 & 211-6 v Yorkshire 376)

    It was beginning to look like Yorkshire might need the new ball to break Gloucestershire's sixth-wicket partnership, but it is still almost 12 overs away as Jordan Thompson removes Tom Lace.

    In truth that's a fine delivery, Lace plays down the line of middle stump and the ball shapes away and hits off.

    He put on 73 with James Bracey, who is 103 not out, and the home side lead by 66.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Abbott lbw Clark 0 Surrey 467 v Hampshire 223 & 225-9 (f/o)

    One to go.

    It's two wickets in four balls for Jordan Clark who pins Kyle Abbott lbw for no score.

    Abbott has lasted a total of five balls across the two innings - and not scored a run.

    Surrey are on the brink.

  3. Kent 260 & 58-4 v Lancashire 506

    You have to admire Ben Compton's patience and powers of self denial. After carrying his bat for 104 not out in Kent's first innings, he is now unbeaten on 16 from 82 balls - and has been at the crease in this match for over 500 minutes.

    The home side trail by 188 after being asked to follow on by Lancashire.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Fuller b Clark 12 (Surrey 467 v Hampshire 223 & 225-8 (f/o)

    Middle stump out of the ground, bails flying, that's what you call an emphatic dismissal!

    Jordan Clark takes out James Fuller for 12.

    So do we think this one will finish today?

    Hampshire are 19 behind with Surrey needing two wickets to wrap-up a win which would allow them to unwrap their Easter eggs in bed tomorrow morning rather than being back at the Kia Oval.

  5. Division Two latest

    Durham have lost the first wicket of their second innings against Leicestershire with Sean Dickson caught off Ed Barnes for 84. Michael Jones is still there on 61 out of 154-1 and they lead by 309.

    Tom Haines has progressed to 138 not out for Sussex against Derbyshire. They are 234-2, with Cheteshwar Pujara on 41, still 96 behind after being asked to follow on.

    Glamorgan have picked up another Notts wicket with Timm van der Gugten having Liam Patterson-White lbw at Trent Bridge. The home side are 177-6, a lead of exactly 100.

  6. 100 runs

    for James Bracey

    Gloucs 227 & 201-5 v Yorkshire 376

    James BraceyGetty Images

    If James Bracey was James Kerr, he'd be humming the tune of Don't You Forget About Me right now.

    He was an England player last year and a second century in successive games isn't going to harm his chances of another Test opportunity.

    This one comes up from 172 balls with two runs through point off Dom Bess. He has now put on 63 with Tom Lace and Gloucestershire lead by 54.

  7. wicket

    WICKETS

    Kent 260 & 47-4 (f/o) v Lancashire 506

    A couple of quick wickets for Lancashire.

    Tawanda Muyeye is first to go, caught by Croft off the bowling of Tom Bailey for 17.

    In the following over Matt Parkinson bowls Jordan Cox for one, leaving Kent teetering on 47-4.

    They still trail by 199 runs.

  8. Gloucs 227 & 184-5 v Yorkshire 376

    James Bracey is into the 90s after swatting Matt Fisher through square leg for the 10th boundary of his innings. He and Tom Lace need four more runs for a 50 partnership and Gloucestershire lead by 35.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Barker lbw Taylor 5 (Surrey 467 v Hampshire 223 & 198-7 (f/o)

    And another...

    Keith Barker top-scored for Hampshire in the first innings but only makes it to five in the second as James Taylor pins him lbw.

    Three wickets left for Surrey to snaffle up.

  10. 50 runs

    for Michael Jones

    Durham 428 & 119-0 v Leicestershire 273

    Michael JonesRex Features

    Michael Jones follows opening partner Sean Dickson to a half-century with a single off Ed Barnes. It has taken 72 balls and included two sixes and a four. Durham now lead by 274.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Organ c Jacks b Overton 5 (Surrey 467 v Hampshire 223 & 197-7 (f/o)

    Another bites the dust for Hants as Felix Organ heads back to the pavilion.

    The short ball has worked well for Jamie Overton today and it does so once more as Felix Organ wafts the bat and diverts the ball to Will Jacks at gulley.

    That's eight wickets in the match for Overton and Hants trail by 47.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Duckett c Lloyd b van der Gugten 95 (Notts 302 &161-5 v Glamorgan 379)

    So close and yet so far for Ben Duckett.

    You can see the disappointment etched all over his face as falls five runs short of a century.

    David Lloyd takes the catch at first slip from Timm van der Gugten's bowling.

  13. Gloucs 227 & 169-5 v Yorkshire 376

    Matt Fisher errs in line and length and Tom Lace puts it away for four as Gloucestershire progress to 169-5, a lead of 20. James Bracey is 80 not out at the other end.

  14. 50 runs

    for Sean Dickson

    Durham 428 & 91-0 v Leicestershire 273

    They are back out after tea at the Riverside and Durham continue to rattle along towards a declaration.

    Sean Dickson follows his 120 in the first innings by reaching 50 off 66 balls with a tip-and-run single from the bowling of George Rhodes.

    Dickson and partner Michael have each hit two sixes and the lead is now 247.

  15. Tea at Canterbury

    Kent 260 & 28-2 (f/o) v Lancashire 506

    Kent are following on and trail by 218 runs at tea.

    They won't be happy with the manner of the dismissals of Zak Crawley and Daniel Bell-Drummond which are the two wickets Lancashire have picked-up since the follow-on.

    Ben Compton scored a fine century in the first innings and they will need him to repeat his heroics again when he reappears after tea alongside Tawanda Muyeye.

  17. Tea at Derby

    Derbvshire 505-8 dec v Sussex 174 & 178-2

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex commentator

    Sussex are whittling away at a huge first-innings deficit of 331, and have reached tea in arrears by 153

    Tom Haines has led the way by scoring the sixth first class hundred of his career, although he was given a life on 111 when dropped at slip by Wayne Madsen.

    He received solid support from Ali Orr in a first-wicket partnership of 119, but was responsible for the run out of Tom Alsop.

    The Derbyshire bowlers have toiled away on a pitch giving them little help, but with a new ball available in 16 overs will be looking to make further inroads in the final session.

  18. Tea at Bristol

    Gloucestershire 227 & 162-5 v Yorkshire 376

    It's been a productive afternoon for Gloucestershire, who have added 106 runs during the session - but they have lost three wickets in the process.

    James Bracey is holding the innings together with 77 not out and they need a lot more from him to have a chance to denying Yorkshire a victory.

    The home side lead by 13 runs.

  19. Tea at the Kia Oval

    Surrey 467 v Hampshire 223 & 181-5 (f/o)

    Hampshire trail by 63 runs at tea.

    They will be disappointed to have lost James Vince in that fashion in the penultimate over before tea and Hants find themselves with plenty to do in the evening session.

    Their innings had started well with Joe Weatherley's 87 but Ian Holland, Nick Gubbins and Liam Dawson have all fallen cheaply.

    Surrey still well in the ascendency thanks to that 467 first-innings score and might have plans to get this one wrapped-up today so they can enjoy an Easter Sunday lie-in.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Vince c Foakes b Taylor 57 (Surrey 467 v Hampshire 223 & 181-5 (f/o)

    Shortly after collecting his half-century James Vince is heading back to the pavilion.

    James Taylor tempts him into a shot down leg and he feathers it behind to Ben Foakes.
