Get involved with #bbccricket
Another good day's county cricket done and dusted.
Less rain around today - and a late finish.
But still plenty for us to write about and you to talk about.
Join us again at 10:45 tomorrow morning for more of the same.
DIVISION ONE
Chelmsford: Essex 505-9 dec, Somerset 99-1 (27 overs)
Cheltenham: Gloucestershire 317, Northamptonshire 353-7 (108 overs)
Old Trafford: Lancashire 145 & 2-0, Kent 270
The Oval: Warwickshire 253 & 1-0, Surrey 316
Scarborough: Yorkshire 159 & 23-1, Hampshire 218
DIVISION TWO
Riverside: Durham 421-7 dec, Middlesex 43-0
New Road: Derbyshire 130 & 286-6, Worcestershire 185
Trent Bridge: Notts 240, Sussex 94-5
Worcestershire 185 v Derbyshire 130 & 286-6
A brilliant last session for Derbyshire.
Anuj Dal finishes on 85 and Matt McKiernan has 58 and they have put on 120 for the seventh wicket.
Nottinghamshire 240 v Sussex 94-5
Cheteshwar Pujara and Archie Lenham make it to stumps and will come back to face the music tomorrow.
Lancashire 145 & 2-0 v Kent 270
Keaton Jennings and Luke Wells survive the two overs, but it's Kent who are in control at Old Trafford.
Yorkshire 159 & 23-1 (13 overs), Hampshire 218
Yorkshire get through to the close with opener Adam Lyth on 10 and Tom Kohler-Cadmore on 13 - for the only loss of George Hill.
They now trail title-chasing Hampshire by only 36 runs with nine wickets remaining to set up an intriguing third day.
Lancashire 145 & 0-0 v Kent 270
Matt Henry opened the day with a bang. He will now bowl one of the two overs that remain today.
And he's convinced he has Luke Wells strangled down leg off the first ball, but it's not given.
Lancashire 145 v Kent 270 all out
Navdeep Saini looks like a rabbit and proves as he skies one to mid-off, leaving Grant Stewart unbeaten on 64 at the other end.
The lead is 125 runs, which looks more than useful.
Tom Bailey finishes with an impressive 6-64, his second best figures in an innings.
Lancashire will have to face a very tricky final two overs this evening.
Yorkshire 17-1 (10 overs) v Hampshire
No further alarms so far for Adam Lyth and Tom Kohler-Cadmore after the disappointment of losing that early wicket of George Hill.
Although there is a slightly awkward squawk for Kohler-Cadmore as he pulls out at the last minute from an anticipated Kyle Abbott delivery when a low flying seagull flies across his path just as the bowler is about to bowl.
The ball from Abbott goes on to hit the stumps - but Hampshire accept that TKC was making no attempt to play a shot and it is rightly ruled a dead ball.
No comment from the gull.
Lancashire 145 v Kent 260-9
Will Williams is full and straight and it's too good for Nathan Gilchrist.
Lancashire could be batting again this evening.
Warwickshire 253 & 1-0 (2 overs), Surrey 316
Warwickshire's gamble pays off - and Dom Sibley has survived.
Danny Briggs faced nine of the 12 balls sent down - and Sibley, the Surrey old boy who is due to return to The Oval at the end of the season, has a platform to impress tomorrow.
Gloucestershire 317 v Northants 353-7
Northants go to stumps with a lead of 36, but Zafar Gohar's four wickets have kept Gloucestershire in the game.
Warwickshire 253 & 1-0 (1.3 overs), Surrey 316
Two overs left for Warwickshire to face tonight - and Danny Briggs comes out to face the first of them as nightwatchman.
He survives the first of them from Kemar Roach, then, in the second over from Jordan Clark, in trying to get Dom Sibley off strike, the England opener is almost run out in a right mix-up by a direct hit from Jamie Overton which just misses.
Shocking cricket!
Derbyshire are fighting hard at New Road. Anuj Dal is on 72 and Matt McKiernan 44 as they move to 259-6, a lead of 204 over Worcestershire.
Chesteshwar Pujara and Archie Lenham are trying to rebuild for Sussex at 77-5 against Nottinghamshire.
Middlesex have seen off nine overs and are 18-0, replying to Durham's 421-7 declared.
Essex 505-9 dec, Somerset 99-1
Another prompt finish at Chelmsford.
Not quite as bang on time as last night but still pretty impressive.
Somerset need just one more run to reach their 100 in the morning as they reply to Essex's slow but weighty 505-9 declared.
Matt Renshaw is on 36 and Tom Abell on 27 - but they still trail by 406 - and the more immediate target is a further 257 to make sure they do not get asked to follow on.
Lancashire 145 v Kent 253-8
Lancashire take the new ball and Tom Bailey requires two deliveries to get his fifth wicket.
That's 5-51 for the Red Rose stalwart, the 11th five-for of his career.
He has Matt Henry strangled down legside, but the New Zealander has contributed a useful 16.
Warwickshire 253, Surrey 316 (80.1 overs)
Two wickets in successive balls finish off the Surrey innings.
Conor McKerr is LBW to Danny Briggs for 37 with the last ball of the next and then Oliver Hannon-Dalby removes Jamie Overton for 38 with the first ball of the next.
Potentially awkward few overs for Dom Sibley and Alex Davies to face, if the light holds.
Gloucestershire 317 v Northants 350-7
Lewis McManus tries to sweep Zafar Gohar and is bowled.
He had put on 53 with James Sales but Gloucestershire slow up Northants again.
Yorkshire 159 & 0-1; Hampshire 218
George Hill is given out LBW - the second big shout against him in successive balls. And Mohammad Abbas makes a big breakthrough in only the second over.
He goes for a fifth-ball duck, to follow his first-baller in the first innings.
He at least avoided a King Pair- but it's still a pair. His first. Ouch!
Tom Kohler-Cadmore is the new man.
Lancashire 145 v Kent 246-7
Matt Henry is not one to stand on ceremony and he clubs one from Washington Sundar out for four.
That stretches the advantage to 101.
Lancashire won last week against Northants, giving up a first innings deficit of 103. This feels like a much harder match to turn around.
