Dom Bess is in at eight for Yorkshire.

He can be a fine lower-order batter and Yorkshire need him to stick around with Joe Root.

Gloucestershire 186-9 & 136-7 v Somerset 591-7 dec

Well played young man.

A maiden first-class 50 for Jacob Bethell, and surely the first of many for this gifted 18-year-old.

It has come off 84 balls with eight nice boundaries and is a good effort in just his second first-class match.

Spare a thought for Simon Kerrigan.

The left-armer, who of course played one Test for England in 2013, is still looking for his first wicket of the summer and he has twirled away for 30 overs in this game with more than 100 runs to his name.

Matt Lamb has just plundered him for successive boundaries.

Derbyshire declared their first innings on 565-8 with Anuj Dal finishing with 114 not out. Worcestershire are 18-0 off just one over in their second innings.

Glamorgan are 3-0, chasing 191 to beat Durham at Chester-le-Street.

Middlesex are 19-2, in pursuit of a nominal 516, after those two early wickets for Nottinghamshire's Luke Fletcher.

While Rishi Patel has reached 50 as Leicestershire are 170-4 in their second knock, still trailing Sussex by 70.

Harry Duke has now batted for 200 balls for his 40.

I've not seen a lot of the young wicketkeeper but he seems to have an excellent temperament.

He came in when Yorkshire were in deep trouble at 134-5, they've now got a good chance of salvaging a draw out of this.

Zak Crawley and Ben Compton have got this Kent second innings off to a decent start.

If they can see out the remaining 19 overs, Kent will surely feel they have a good chance of saving the game.

Especially with the threat of a bit of rain around tomorrow morning.

Joe Root sweeps Matt Parkinson for a single and that brings up the 150 partnership with Harry Duke.

This is a fine recovery from 134-5.

Matt Lamb has begun nicely with 19 from his first 25 balls.

By doing so, he has stopped Northants from getting a double breakthrough, which they would have needed to really feel like they could get through the home batting.

Jacob Bethell becomes the first home batter to get to 40 in this match. The 18-year-old is showing plenty of fight in a losing cause for his temporary county.

Batting is looking all rather comfortable as the sun still blazes down at Headingley.

Lancashire haven't taken a wicket for more than three and a half hours.

But Yorkshire still trail by 287 and so a couple of quick wickets would make things very interesting.

What a match Luke Fletcher is having! Not content with fifties batting at number 11 and number one, the Notts bowler has removed Mark Stoneman and Josh de Caires for ducks with Middlesex in peril at 9-2.

A highest first-class score for Anuj Dal, who is a career-best 107 not out as he bats Derbyshire into a commanding position at 543-8, 175 runs ahead of Worcestershire.

Archie Lenham's three-wicket burst just before tea has Sussex in control as Leicestershire are 134-4, still 106 behind.

While Glamorgan need one more wicket to wrap up Durham's second innings. The North East county are 244-9, a lead of 190.

Joe Root hits James Anderson for two boundaries in a row.

The first is a lovely square drive, the second a flick down to fine-leg.

Root is up to 120 and looking in great touch in the Headingley sunshine.

Anderson has 1-81 off 23 overs. He won't be happy with those figures.

Harry Duke has played some supporting act to Joe Root.

The 20-year-old has batted for 162 balls for his 33. Exceptional concentration.

Lancashire have taken the new ball after tea by the way with James Anderson and Tom Bailey looking to break this partnership.

A lot of what Durham could go on to achieve in this match was hanging on England skipper Ben Stokes at tea.

But he made just two more runs after the interval before he was out for 26, stumped by Chris Cooke off the bowling of Australia's Marnus Labuschagne. The bowler has taken 3-35 with his leg spin. And Durham are in trouble because their lead isn't even 200.

Brydon Carse is now batting with Ben Raine and there's only Chris Rushworth to come.

As expected, Surrey have enforced the follow-on at Beckenham.

Zak Crawley and Ben Compton are in the middle for Kent.

They're into the final session of day three at Headingley.

You feel if Joe Root is still there at stumps, Yorkshire will have gone a long way towards saving this match.
