    Middlesex 371-7 v Durham 350

    Middlesex are now out in front at Lord's and Martin Andersson pushes Matt Salisbury away into the covers to reach his 50 from just 53 balls. He has hit a six and eight fours so far in a typically assertive knock and his stand with Luke Hollman is now worth 85.

    Notts 358 v Derbyshire 260 & 199-7

    Derbyshire's lead ticks over 100 thanks to the efforts of Alex Hughes and Liam Hurt.

    Notts have brought James Pattinson back into the bowling attack to see if he is the man who can make a breakthrough in the closing stages.

    Worcestershire celebrate victoryImage source, Rex Features

    Worcestershire wrap up their second win of the season as Chris Wright tries to pull a ball from Ed Barnard and Matthew Waite runs back from mid-on to take a good catch.

    Wright (31) and Callum Parkinson (12 not out) kept the Pears waiting by adding 43 for the final wicket, having put on 50 in the first innings.

    Azhar Ali was dismissed for 225 earlier in the day and Worcestershire then took 58 overs to bowl out the visitors - who suffered the third heaviest defeat in the club's history.

    Worcs 577-6 dec v Leics 148 & 156-9

    Worcestershire have turned to spinner Josh Baker to try and tease out this final Leicestershire wicket, but Callum Parkinson thumps him over the top for four. The Pears continue with seam at the other end.

    The Dane Vilas (42*) and Steven Croft (39) partnership is broken as the latter departs to a catch in the deep by Sam Cook off the bowling of Simon Harmer.

    The duo were going along nicely and their partnership was worth 78 before Croft swept a shot towards the boundary which was caught by Cook at backward square leg.

    Lancashire are following on after a poor first innings with the bat and have now reduced the gap to 170.

    Procter c Robinson b Stewart 76 (Northants 265-6 v Kent 519-9 dec)

    That was a nothing shot by Luke Procter - he just dangled the bat and the edge was easily taken by Ollie Robinson.

    It's Grant Stewart's second wicket of the innings and brings Lewis McManus to the crease. He hurt a finger in the field on day two, but has been given the all-clear to bat.

    Sam Hain and Will Rhodes are putting up determined resistance for Warwickshire since the downfall of Dom Sibley. There are 27 overs to go before stumps and the champions are 159 behind.

    Earlier on, we received a prediction of a two-horse race between Surrey and Hampshire for the Division One title. Here's an alternative view.

    Worcs 577-6 dec v Leics 148 & 148-9

    Rather good for a number 10 - Chris Wright straight drives Matthew Waite, the ball just missing the stumps on its way to the boundary.

    A single to Callum Parkinson ends the over as Leicestershire draw level with their first-innings total.

    They are still 281 behind, though.

    Northants 256-5 v Kent 519-9 dec

    Northants have a second batting point as Josh Cobb helps himself to two fours in the same Matt Quinn over - the first thumped through the covers and the second clipped wide of mid-on. He has 15 not out from 13 balls.

    Hampshire beat Somerset by 10 wickets earlier on after bowling the home side out for 69 - with Keith Barker claiming 6-27. Here is a succinct view of the all-rounder's prowess.

    Thomson lbw Patterson-White 27 (Notts 358 v Derbyshire 260 & 163-7)

    Alex Thomson goes for 17 as he rocks back into his crease to try to play Liam Patterson-White's spinner away, but he misjudges it and it hits him plumb.

    That's Patterson-White's second of the game and Thomson's runs have helped Derbyshire to a lead of 57.

    Northants 246-5 v Kent 519-9 dec

    A stroke of luck for Luke Procter as Matt Quinn finds the inside edge and the ball runs away to fine leg for four.

    Josh Cobb produces a far more authoritative boundary two balls later as he square cuts powerfully.

    Lancashire 103 & 102-3 f/o v Essex 391

    Dane Vilas (39*) and Steven Croft (23*) have guided Lancashire over 100 and they now trail by 190.

    Of course there is plenty still left to do but it's a welcome period of stability after they were earlier reduced to 43-3.

    Ahmed c Cox b Morris 16 (Worcs 577-6 dec v Leics 148 & 127-9)

    Teenager Rehan Ahmed goes and it's almost over at New Road.

    Charlie Morris banged it in short, the 17-year-old tried some sort of an uppercut, but underedged it through to Ben Cox.

    A good effort by Ahmed, who survived for an hour and 19 minutes and faced 64 balls.

    Middlesex 302-7 v Durham 350

    A single to Luke Hollman and Middlesex have their third batting point with plenty of overs left to add a fourth, if they can. He is 13 not out and Martin Andersson is on 10.

    Keogh b Quinn 45 (Northants 230-5 v Kent 519-9 dec)

    Great delivery which cuts back off the seam and cleans up Rob Keogh, who is stuck on the back foot.

    His dismissal ends a 96-run partnership with Luke Procter, who is 61 not out and has been joined by Josh Cobb.

    Sibley c Bess b Thompson 14 (Yorks 449 v Warwicks 244 & 25-3)

    A big wicket for Yorkshire as Dom Sibley is caught at gully from a ball which spat up sharply from a decent length, forcing the opener to take his right hand off the handle.

    Jordan Thompson has 3-14 as Will Rhodes joins Sam Hain and it's going to take some good batting by the champions to see this through to the close.

    Two in three balls for Matthew Waite as Ben Mike and Ed Barnes edge through to keeper Ben Cox.

    Mike made two, Barnes failed to score and Leicestershire are on their way to a crushing defeat.

    Darren Stevens strays onto leg stump and is put away with ease by Rob Keogh. Three come from the final delivery of the over and Keogh is now 45 not out, with Luke Procter on 60.
