Lancashire 103-8 v Essex 391
About half-an-hour or so ago it looked as if Lancashire's innings would be brought to a halt well before they reached double figures.
Phil Salt is hanging in there and has helped move his side from a forlorn 60-8 to over the 100-run mark.
He's six runs short of what would be an impressive half-century in the circumstances.
However, despite his good work, Lancashire remain more than 290 runs behind.
Worcs 577-6 dec v Leics 148 & 5-0
They are back out in the middle at New Road and Hassan Azad edges Dillion Pennington wide of the slip cordon for four runs.
For Leicestershire's though, it's all about batting time - the run in this position are largely irrelevant.
There are are 82 overs left today and an entire day's play tomorrow for them to survive.
Yorks 349-6 v Warwicks 244
Yorkshire have a three-figure advantage as Jordan Thompson launches Danny Briggs over wide long-on for a maximum.
Nathan McAndrew steams in from the other end at the start of a new over and Harry Duke guides the ball through the covers for four.
He is 30 not out and Thompson has 16.
Nottinghamshire 358 v Derbyshire 260 & 23-1
No joy for the Notts bowlers after Stuart Broad's early dismissal of Shan Masood.
Brooke Guest (12*) and Billy Godleman (10*) are mainly dealing in singles as they try to reduce the gap to Notts' first innings score.
Steady progress sees Derbyshire trail by 75 runs.
Kelly lbw Quinn 25 (Northants 84-3 v Kent 519-9 dec)
It's taken almost 90 minutes but Kent have their first wicket of the morning session at Wantage Road as nightwatchman Matt Kelly departs.
The Australian did a good job for his side, batting for 87 minutes, facing 67 balls and hitting four boundaries. Luke Procter is the new batter.
Worcs 577-6 v Leics 148
Image source, Rex FeaturesBen Cox reverse sweeps Rehan Ahmed's leg-spin for four to reach a 41-ball half-century and the Worcestershire declaration comes at the end of the over.
It is their highest total against Leicestershire and they lead by 429. Only the most optimistic Foxes follower would back them to extricate themselves from this situation.
Cox finishes on 52, with loan signing Matthew Waite 13 not out.
Middlesex 127-4 v Durham 350

Durham took a couple of wickets in the first hour this morning. Ben Stokes got his second of the game as Josh De Caires edged him to the keeper on four, then Ben Raine bowled Peter Handscomb around his legs when he was on 14.
However, Sam Robson has gone on to 58 not out and is doing his bit to hold things together for the hosts.
There are a few people here in Sunderland tops who will be heading off to Wembley for the League One play off final later. I wonder if they will return in a happy mood?
Bess c McAndrew b Briggs 1 (Yorks 327-6 v Warwicks 244)
Dom Bess, new to the crease, comes down the track to Danny Briggs and tries to hit down the ground, but the ball skews off the outside edge and Nathan McAndrew takes the catch.
That was a pretty poor shot and it gives Warwickshire a second bowling point.
Barker c Lammonby b Leach 36 (Somerset 211 v Hampshire 220-7)
Somerset needed that one!
Hampshire had just crept ahead at Taunton but Jack Leach has removed Keith Barker who is caught at mid-wicket after miscuing a pull shot.
Barker's partnership with Aneurin Donald (35*) was a valuable one and Somerset will be glad to have broken it.
Lyth c Burgess b McAndrew 145 (Yorks 326-5 v Warwicks 344)
Yorkshire's lead is 82 as Adam Lyth attempts his favourite square cut, but this time edges a catch to keeper Michael Burgess.
Lyth is given a pat on the back by partner Harry Duke as he walks off, having batted for 431 minutes in which he faced 330 balls.
Northants 71-2 v Kent 519-9 dec
Ricardo Vasconcelos drives Jas Singh for four and a single later in the over brings up a 50 partnership with Matt Kelly. So far, so good for Northants - who have five sessions and what is left in this one to survive in this match between two winless teams.
Somerset 211 v Hampshire 205-6
Aneurin Donald (34) and Keith Barker (22) are moving Hampshire closer to Somerset's first innings score and they are now just six runs behind.
The duo have done well to calm things down after Ben Brown's early departure and their partnership is worth 53 runs.
Yorks 317-4 v Warwicks 244
Just three singles from Danny Briggs' latest over - Yorkshire need 33 runs from four overs for that fourth batting point.
Worcs 525-6 v Leics 148
Worcestershire's highest total against Leicestershire is 561 at Aylestone Road in 1901.
Ed Barnard has just been caught by Ed Barnes for 26 after top edging a pull shot off Chris Wright and the lead is 377. How many more does Brett D'Oliveira want before making the declaration?

Image source, Rex FeaturesEssex and England batter Dan Lawrence is looking a little glum as he watches on from the stands.
It was a mixed day for him yesterday as he picked up his first century of the season but suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury.
He's set to undergo a scan today to determine the extent of the damage.
Fingers crossed it won't keep him out for too long and at least he can feel a little heartened by how his team is dominating proceedings at Old Trafford.
Lancashire 60-8 v Essex 391
Two wickets in quick succession and Lancashire are firmly staring down the barrel.
Sam Cook gets his second wicket of the morning as Tom Bailey is trapped lbw for one, before Shane Snater has Hassan Ali caught at second slip without scoring.
Bailey and Ali went in the space of eight balls.
How much longer is this Lancashire innings going to last?
Northants 62-2 v Kent 519-9 dec
Kent call up Jas Singh for his first bowl of the innings, but he is put away through point by Matt Kelly for four runs.
Singh isn't quick enough to bowl that sort of length - even to a nightwatchman.- and when he tries to adjust, he overpitches and Kelly drives impressively for another boundary.
The Australian is 19 not out and Ricardo Vasconcelos has 25.
Yorks 307-4 v Warwicks 244
Image source, Getty ImagesYorkshire have their third batting point at Headingley and Adam Lyth square cuts OHD for four in the latest over. They have eight more to try and score 42 more runs for a fourth. Lyth is 136 not out.
Masood lbw Broad 0 (Nottinghamshire 358 v Derbyshire 260 & 3-1)
Image source, Rex FeaturesEngland's Stuart Broad strikes with his third ball of the day!
Broad comes around the wicket and catches Shan Masood cold as he finds the pad and it's a straightforward decision for the umpire.
That's a blow for Masood as that was his last chance to reach 1,000 runs before the end of May.
His 18 in the first innings brought him on to 844 and that's where he stays after a duck in the second courtesy of Broad.
Wood c Rossington b Cook 21 (Lancashire 59-6 v Essex 391)
First breakthrough of the day for Essex!
Luke Wood tried to drive Sam Cook down the ground but only succeeds in edging behind to Adam Rossington.
Plenty of work to do for the hosts who are still 332 behind.
