    Worcs 577-6 dec v Leics 148 & 125-4

    Young Rehan Ahmed is clearly growing in confidence, he's just used his feet to get to the pitch and smashed Josh Baker over mid-on for four. He is 16 not out, Wiaan Mulder has 24 and Leicestershire's deficit is now 304.

    Keith Hubert Douglas Barker has been the main man for Hampshire but this time it's Kyle Abbott who gets in on the act.

    He bowls Steven Davies for 19 and in truth Somerset have really had no answer at all to Hampshire's bowling since lunch.

    They only have two wickets left and need four runs to make Hampshire's openers put their pads back on.

    From Michael Wester: "Really intriguing title race between Hampshire and Surrey in the months to come. Lancashire may be in the hunt but they’ve been dominated by Essex and probably would’ve been beaten by Hants w/o washed out day 4. Surrey and Hampshire have been a class above this year. #bbccricket, external"

    Davies c Fraine b Thompson 8 (Yorks 450 v Warwicks 244 & 8-1)

    That's a gift - Alex Davies chips Jordan Thompson to mid-wicket and Yorkshire have the first wicket of Warwickshire's second innings.

    Rob Yates is the new batter - he only managed three runs first time around.

    Wells c Walter b Cook 19 (Lancashire 103 & 45-3 f/o v Essex 391)

    Sam Cook has his fifth wicket of the match as his short ball sees Luke Wells find Paul Walter at square leg.

    Wells' 19 came from 97 balls but he departs, leaving Steven Croft and Dave Vilas out in the middle.

    Lancashire are trailing by a mammoth 247 runs in the follow-on.

    Northants 186-4 v Kent 519-9 dec

    Rob Keogh uses his feet and drills the ball back at, and past, bowler George Linde. It runs away to the boundary and he and Luke Procter have a 50 partnership.

    Yorks 450 v Warwicks 244 & 8-0

    On-drive, square cut - and Alex Davies has back to back boundaries off Jordan Thompson in the first over of Warwickshire's second innings.

    Thompson responds with a good one which finds the edge, but it doesn't carry to the fielder at gully. This could be interesting.

    Overton b Barker 13 (Somerset 211 & 57-7 v Hampshire 280)

    Five for Keith Barker - a devastating spell of bowling!

    Craig Overton tries to drive the in-form bowler down the ground but is beaten for pace and the ball clatters into middle and off.

    Barker stands and takes the acclaim as his team mates rush to congratulate him - he's been outstanding this afternoon.

    Somerset only began their second innings after lunch but in little more than 90 minutes have lost seven wickets - and are still trailing by 12.

    Rehan Ahmed avoids a pair at New Road (see 3:20 entry) as he takes two runs off spinner Josh Baker. Leicestershire still 332 behind.

    Middlesex 252-5 v Durham 350

    Middlesex have their second batting point at Lord's as Max Holden hooks Ben Stokes for six. He didn't middle it properly and it only just cleared the fielder stationed for the shot.

    Holden is now 68 not out and the England captain grimaces as he walks back to the start of his run-up.

    Worcs 577-6 dec v Leics 148 & 92-4

    You have to feel for 17-year-old Rehan Ahmed, who has come out on a pair in his first Championship game - and he didn;t take a wicket with the ball.

    Only the hardest-hearted Worcestershire followers would begrudge him a run or two.

    Patterson b McAndrew 19 (Yorks 450 v Warwicks 244)

    Steve Patterson uppercuts Nathan McAndrew over backward point for six, but it's all over now as the Warwickshire paceman flattens his leg stump with a yorker.

    Matthew Revis is left on 53 not out after a final-wicket partnership of 58 and Warwickshire will begin their second innings with a 206-run deficit.

    Lewis Hill reaches 50 off 64 balls with four off Dillon Pennington, but two balls later is gone as he edges to the keeper.

    Just six more wickets needed now by Worcestershire. Will this match last until the final day?

    Bohannon c Browne b Harmer 14 (Lancashire 103 & 39-2 v Essex 391)

    Simon Harmer has his second wicket of the game as his delivery deceives Josh Bohannon, who skews it to Nick Browne at short leg.

    Lancashire opener Luke Wells is still at the crease on 17, now joined by Steven Croft, as the hosts find themselves two down and 252 runs behind.

    Yorks 443-9 v Warwicks 244

    If you're going to do it, do it in style.

    Matt Revis, on 45 not out, reaches an 87-ball fifty - and a career-best score - with a six off Danny Briggs, a slog-sweep over mid-wicket.

    That's also a 50 partnership for the last Yorkshire wicket with Steve Patterson and they lead by 199.

    Keith Barker gets his fourth - it's hard to keep up with this!

    It's a very similar ball to the one that did for James Hildreth moments ago but this time Lewis Gregory gets a pad in the way of the ball hitting the stumps - but no matter its' the same result as he goes for a duck.

    Somerset are being skittled in Taunton.

    What did Hampshire and Keith Barker eat for lunch?

    Whatever it was I want some of it.

    The visitors are on fire and this has just been upgraded to a full-scale Somerset collapse.

    It's a beautiful, peach of a delivery from Barker, which arcs in and finds the stumps.

    Determined batting by Luke Procter, who has now faced 100 deliveries for his 33 not out. Spinner George Linde hustles through a maiden as Kent contemplate what they need to do to eke out another wicket.

    OHD won't like that. Steve Patterson steps away from the stumps and slices away through point for four.

    The Warwickshire seamer tries a bouncer and Patterson pulls for another boundary. Yorkshire lead by 185.

    Banton c Brown b Abbas 10 (Somerset 211 & 23-4 v Hampshire 280)

    Wow, what is happening to Somerset? They can't live with Hampshire at present.

    Tom Banton tries a big pull shot as Mohammad Abbas sends down a tempting short ball but the bounce deceives Banton who sends it straight up in the air and Ben Brown sprints to expertly take a diving catch before it hits the ground.

    Somerset have lost four wickets in the space of seven overs and are in big trouble.

    Hampshire's confidence is sky high.
