    Bohannon b Van der Merwe 91 (Lancs 397-2 v Somerset 446)

    Josh Bohannon falls in the nineties having batted beautifully. Keaton Jennings drops to his haunches - clearly gutted for his teammate.

    Roelof van der Merwe has gone the distance today, but manages to sneak one through Bohannon's defences. It ends a wonderful second-wicket partnership of 211.

    Essex wrapped up a nine-wicket win over Gloucestershire earlier on - here's what head coach Anthony McGrath had to say to BBC Essex:

    “To get it wrapped-up in three days is important coming off the back of the T20, the season we’ve had and the heat. The lads can get their feet up now and prepare for next week at The Oval.

    “We were a bit sloppy on Tuesday afternoon, losing seven for 70 and I felt we should’ve got at least 400. We spoke about that this morning and it’s something we can improve on. But we’ve got the job done and I’m pleased with how we’ve finished it off.

    “We’re in the title conversation. We know we started slowly and couldn’t turn draws into wins. We’ve missed out on batting points which hasn’t helped. We knew we had to make a move in this period and we’ve fortunately won three out of three and have a game in hand.”

    Kent 335 v Northants 303 & 95-3

    Northants' two overseas players, Jimmy Neesham and Ryan Rickleton, have put on 31 for the fourth wicket so far.

    Neesham in particular is looking to put pressure back on the Kent bowlers - he is 18 from 17 balls, and Northants lead by 62.

    Davies c Holland b Abbas 46 (Hants 370-9 dec v Warwicks 217 & 117-6)

    After so much self denial, Alex Davies throws the bat at a wide one from Mohammad Abbas but doesn't keep it down and Ian Holland takes the catch at point.

    Only four more wickets needed by Hampshire, with the visitors still 36 in arrears.

    Hardie b Patterson 46 (Yorks 521 v Surrey 382-6)

    Aaron Hardie tries to straight drive but the ball nips back and cleans him up, ending a stand of 75 with Ben Foakes.

    Jamie Overton is the new batter and a fortunate inside edge brings him four runs from his first ball faced.

    Lancs 375-1 v Somerset 446

    A big full toss from Peter Siddle is swatted for six over square leg by Keaton Jennings, who is now 174 not out.

    The Lancs batters have put their foot down in the past half-hour or so in an attempt to move this game along.

    Worcs 170-2 - target 238

    As you would expect, the Worcestershire scoring rate has slowed since Ed Pollock's dismissal for 113.

    Just two singles from the latest over by Umesh Yadav.

    Lamb b Abbas 18 (Hants 370-9 dec v Warwicks 217 & 114-5)

    Mohammad AbbasImage source, Rex Features

    This is now getting a little precarious for Warwickshire.

    Matt Lamb plays a standard defensive stroke, but Mohammad Abbas finds just enough movement to penetrate it and knock out middle stump.

    The Bears need 39 more to make Hampshire bat again. New batter Michael Burgess is on a pair.

  9. Postpublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Yorks 521 v Surrey 372-5

    He's not quite at the Ed Pollock level of scoring yet, but Aaron Hardie pulls Steven Patterson for six and then cover drives for four from the next ball.

    Hardie is 46 not out off 44 balls - with Ben Foakes trailing in his wake on 25. They have added 69 in 11.3 overs so far.

  10. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Keogh c Billings b Bell-Drummond 13 (Kent 335 v Northants 303 & 64-3)

    Breakthrough at Canterbury!

    Rob Keogh cannot believe it, and Kent are cock-a-hoop. Daniel Bell-Drummond bangs one in short, Keogh takes the bait, and feathers one through to Sam Billings.

    Northants are essentially 32-3.

    for Keaton Jenningspublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Lancs 340-1 v Somerset 446

    Roelof van der Merwe drops slightly short, and Keaton Jennings rocks onto the back foot, and cuts to the point boundary for four.

    Earlier in the over, the Lancs opener hit the Somerset spinner back over his head for six.

    Jennings moves to 150 from 291 balls.

    WICKETpublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Pollock c Holden b Vadav 113 (Worcs 167-2 - target 238)

    Ed Pollock hasn't seen much of the strike in recent overs after reaching his 67-ball century.

    Now he faces India's Umesh Yadav and slashes him away through point for four. The next one is his undoing, though, as he picks out Max Holden on the mid-wicket boundary.

    Pollock hit seven sixes and 11 fours in his 77-ball knock, which lasted just over two hours.

    Hants 370-9 dec v Warwicks 217 & 110-4

    Those used to seeing Alex Davies going for his shots must be wondering if it really is the same player at the crease at the Ageas Bowl.

    He plays out a maiden from spinner Liam Dawson and is 45 not out from 143 balls.

    Drinks are being taken with Warwickshire still 43 behind. Davies' partner Matt Lamb is on 16.

  14. Division Two round-uppublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Eddie Byrom has just fallen for a superb 144 in Cardiif, missing an attempted reverse sweep off Liam Patterson-White, and being given out LBW. Glamorgan are 255-3, leading Notts by 286 runs.

    Brooke Guest and Leus du Plooy are still together for Derbyshire, and have stretched their lead to 144.

    Meanwhile, at Hove, Leics are 314-4, still trailing Sussex by 274 - Colin Ackermann is 72 not out.

  15. Fourth batting point for Surreypublished at 14:45 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Yorks 521 v Surrey 351-5

    Ben Foakes takes a couple off Steven Patterson and the Surrey score moves past 350. Still 14 overs left for them to reach 400 and claim maximum batting points.

  16. Postpublished at 14:41 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Yorks 521 v Surrey 348-5

    Surrey have stabilised the innings following the loss of two quick wickets and Ben Foakes and Aaron Hardie are nearing a 50 partnership.

    Foakes drives Jordan Thompson through cover for four and is 23 not out, with Hardie on 28.

    for Ed Pollockpublished at 14:35 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Worcs 144-1 - target 238

    You want Bazball? You got it at Merchant Taylors' School.

    Ed Pollock completes the second first-class hundred of his career from just 67 balls with three runs to extra cover off Tim Murtagh.

    Earlier in the over, he smashed the seamer for his seventh sixth to post a 50 partnership with Taylor Cornall, whose contribution was two runs from 20.

    Kent 335 v Northants 303 & 53-2

    A period of consolidation for Northants at Canterbury after the fall of both openers.

    Ryan Rickelton and Rob Keogh are both playing very watchfully - the lead is currently 21.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:25 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Rhodes lbw Dawson 3 (Hants 370-9 dec v Warwicks 217 & 91-4)

    Will Rhodes is unlucky - that turned out of the rough, but crucially kept a bit low as well. Two wickets for Liam Dawson now and the pressure is increasing on the Bears who are still 62 behind.

  20. Postpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 13 July 2022

    Lancs 301-1 v Somerset 446

    Another batting point for Lancs, as they pass 300. Keaton Jennings and Josh Bohannon remain untroubled.

    Not a lot happening as this game drifts towards a draw.
