Another very busy day of County Championship cricket comes to an end.

In the three Division One games alone, 872 runs have been scored for the loss of 37 wickets - and there is the prospect of more fun and japes tomorrow.

Who will edge the Edgbaston relegation tussle in Division One?

Who will win the promotion tussle at Lord's in Division Two?

Will Hashim Amla complete another century and help Surrey leapfrog sole title rivals Hampshire back to the top of the table?

And there's more.

Join us again at 10am tomorrow morning.

Division One

Wantage Road: Northamptonshire 339, Surrey 224-5 (68 overs)

Edgbaston: Somerset 219 & 13-2, Warwickshire 196

Leeds: Yorkshire 134 & 87-2, Essex 225

Division Two

Leicester: Leicestershire 202, Durham 239-5 (70 overs)

Lord's: Glamorgan 214, Middlesex 286-5 (81.3 overs)

Hove: Sussex 220, Worcestershire 289-2 (80 overs)

Nic Maddinson and Ben Raine see us through to the close of day two of this round of games.

Durham lead by 37 runs with five wickets to go.

The point of having overseas players in your team is for them to provide that extra touch of star quality.

Surrey have certainly had that today. This morning, West Indies quick Kemar Roach took three wickets with the new ball to end with 5-95 as Northants lost their last six wickets for 90 runs.

Then when they stumbled to 46-3 and 80-4 with the bat, Hashim Amla was the rock they needed to steady the ship as they recovered to 224-5.

The South Africa great will require three runs on day three to bring up his 57th first-class century.

And the overseas duo have kept Surrey on track to get the points they need to overtake Hampshire and go back to the top of the Championship.

That's it at Edgbaston.

14 wickets in the day, including Brookes getting Brooks, then Brooks getting Brookes.

But there's only so much drama you can take. And that's it now until tomorrow, when Somerset will resume with a 36-run lead over Warwickshire - and with eight second-innings wickets in hand.

Big day tomorrow.

Somerset get through India Test spinner Jayant Yadav's second over.

Last over of the day coming up, to be bowled by Danny Briggs, to Tom Lammonby.

And that wicket of George Hill is the last action of the day in Leeds.

Hill and Fin Bean had batted really nicely but they can't make the close together as Yorkshire end the second day four runs adrift of Essex.

Callum Parkinson has been a reluctant participant in this game, in terms of bowling. And that begs the question: Why hasn't he bowled himself more? He's taken three of the five Durham wickets to fall so far.

The first was with his fifth ball when he had Sean Dickson caught at point on 26. But he only bowled one more over after that in the session and it was after tea when he brought himself back into the attack, 22 overs later.

And guess what? He got a wicket with the fifth ball of his second spell when Michael Jones, dropped in the slips on 80, edged him to Colin Ackermann at first slip, for 97.

Parkinson wasn't done there though. Four overs later he bowled Scott Borthwick through his legs when he was on 30 - and Chris Wright has now struck twice more.

A lovely shot off the back foot reaches the short boundary and means Fin Bean has his best score in his fourth first class innings.

Bean has 45 and has gone a long way towards helping Yorkshire overturn the first innings deficit.

George Hill takes a single to bring up the 50 partnership for this second wicket between him and Fin Bean.

Hill is the senior partner at 21, with Bean a year younger.

Oliver Hannon-Dalby gets the Somerset second innings going to Tom Lammonby.

Eight overs to face tonight - and Lammonby safely negotiates the first of them.

Now it's the turn of Mohammed Siraj against Imam ul-Haq.

India v Pakistan.

And, in the first innings, it was a battle India won, when Siraj had him caught behind in his fifth over.

Matt Critchley has been thrown the ball to see if there is anything in it for the spinners.

George Hill smashes one past the bowler for four as Yorkshire battle hard to reach parity by the close.

Single for Siraj off Josh Davey

16 added by the last pair now.

Can they do it?

Fin Bean gets successive boundaries to move to 38.

The first is an edge that bounces just between the wicketkeeper and first slip and then he squirts one backward of square for another four.

Somerset 219, Warwickshire 195-9

Somerset have taken the new ball. And Lewis Gregory is lifted over the top for two runs by Mohammed Siraj, who then takes a single.

Three balls to go in the over - and Gregory goes round the wicket to OHD.

All to no avail. Still 11 overs left in the day, supposedly.

Light permitting.

As expected, that is it at Northampton after an excellent day of Championship cricket.
