Gary Smee and Adam Lanigan

  1. Yorkshire 184-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Joe Root drives James Anderson square and the ball races to the rope.

    Root is in to the 60s and his stand with Harry Duke is now worth 50.

  2. 50 runs

    for Alex Lees

    Durham 311 & 154-3 v Glamorgan 365

    Alex Lees has played second fiddle to Scott Borthwick, who is on 72, but it's another good innings.

    It is now two fifties and two 100s for Durham this season and he will surely be lining up for England against New Zealand at Lord's on 2 June.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Stevens b Overton 7 (Kent 125-6 v Surrey 671-9 dec)

    Six down!

    Darren Stevens is bowled by Jamie Overton.

    Kent are facing a huge first-innings deficit at Beckenham as George Linde comes in at eight.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Wheal lbw b Leach 10 (Gloucestershire 186-9 v Somerset 591-7 dec)

    Five wickets for Jack Leach!!

    Brad Wheal can do nothing as he gets an absolute grubber and is hit just above the foot - completely and utterly plumb.

    With Gloucestershire captain Graeme van Buuren unable to bat, Leach leads Somerset off with figures of 5-49.

    405 ahead, the visitors are going to enforce the follow-on.

  5. Yorkshire 176-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    James Anderson renews his battle with Joe Root after lunch.

  6. Yorkshire 174-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Matt Parkinson gets things going for Lancashire after lunch with his leg-spin.

    Unsurprisingly Joe Root is the key man for Yorkshire. He has 54.

  7. Play back under way

    The players are back on the field around the country, hopefully after a good lunch, and the afternoon session can begin.

  8. 'Another good session for Somerset'

    Gloucestershire 186-8 v Somerset 591-7 dec

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    Another good session for Somerset, as they took four of the five wickets they needed to be able to enforce the follow-on - the Gloucestershire captain, Graeme van Buuren, sidelined with a shoulder injury and unable to bat - but were held up by a 9th wicket partnership between Matt Taylor and Brad Wheal, which has so far produced 34 runs.

    That's not only frustrating for the visitors, it also shows that bowling out Gloucestershire for a second time will be hard work, especially with Craig Overton having trouble with his left knee and operating at less than full throttle.

  9. Lunch scores

    Day three

    Div One

    • Gloucestershire 186-8 v Somerset 591-7 dec
    • Kent 116-5 v Surrey 671-9 dec
    • Warwickshire 162-3 v Northants 597-6 dec
    • Yorkshire 171-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Div Two

    • Derbyshire 381-6 v Worcestershire 368
    • Durham 311 & 140-3 v Glamorgan 365
    • Leicestershire 210 & 11-0 v Sussex 450
    • Middlesex 195 v Nottinghamshire 415 & 113-3

  10. Lunch at Edgbaston

    Warwickshire 162-3 v Northants 597-6 dec

    A score of 74-1 has made for a rather sedate session in Birmingham.

    Fifties for Dom Sibley and Sam Hain for Warwickshire, as they look to bat time and play their way back into the game.

    Northants have kept the scoring down, but need to find a bit more penetration with the ball. Although the second new ball is only seven overs away.

  11. Lunch at Beckenham

    Kent 116-5 v Surrey 671-9 dec

    Another good session for Surrey who picked up four Kent wickets.

    Kent face the follow-on unless they can somehow get to 522 from 116-5.

  12. Lunch at Bristol

    Gloucestershire 186-8 v Somerset 591-7 dec

    Matt Taylor and Brad Wheal have added 34 together to avoid Gloucestershire being knocked over before lunch.

    But make no mistake, with four wickets, that is Somerset's morning.

  13. Lunch at Headingley

    Yorkshire 171-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    A fascinating first session comes to a close in Leeds.

    Yorkshire scored quickly, led by Joe Root and Harry Brook, but Lancashire picked up three wickets and are still firmly in control.

  14. 50 runs

    for Root

    Yorkshire 170-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    A much-needed fifty for Yorkshire from their talisman Joe Root.

    The England batter drives Jimmy Anderson straight for a couple to bring up his 109th first-class half-century.

    He'll need to turn it into three figures if Yorkshire are going to fight back in this Roses match you feel.

  15. 50 runs

    for Sam Hain

    Warwickshire 162-3 v Northants 597-6 dec

    A two for Sam Hain brings up his half century.

    Six fours in his 153 balls, Hain will know the job is nowhere near done for Warwickshire.

  16. Yorkshire 165-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    But that's a loose shot from Joe Root.

    The former England skipper drives wildly at James Anderson and the ball flies past slip to the rope.

  17. Yorkshire 160-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    James Anderson is back for a spell before lunch.

    Can he nip out his old buddy Joe Root? Root's looked pretty assured in his 42 so far.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Cox c Foakes b Worrall 12 (Kent 109-5 v Surrey 671-9 dec)

    That's a poor shot with your side in trouble.

    Jordan Cox drives loosely at a wide, swinging ball from Dan Worrall and edges through to Ben Foakes who takes a good, tumbling catch.

    Kent are five down and still 562 runs behind.

  19. Interview with Lord Patel

    Yorkshire 159-5 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    On BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra at lunch, you can hear Kevin Howells' full, fascinating interview with Yorkshire chair Lord Patel on reforms at the club in the wake of the racism scandal.

    Patel talks about how there is still a "very small minority" at Yorkshire who believe nothing was wrong, despite 85% of members voting for the reforms.

    It's well worth a listen.

  20. Overton back

    Gloucestershire 167-8 v Somerset 591-7 dec

    Craig Overton is back on the pitch and now he has the ball in his hand, having limped off in the first 20 minutes this morning.

    Let's see how he gets on.
