Adam Lanigan and Alex Winter

  1. 6 runs

    Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 113-3 v Hampshire 311

    A huge shot from the Warwickshire captain as he launches Mohammad Abbas over long on for a maximum.

    The sign of things to come.

  2. 50 runs

    for Dom Sibley

    Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 102-3 v Hampshire 311

    A powerful on-drive would get four but for some brilliant fielding in the deep by Felix Organ.

    But two is enough to bring up a half century for Dom Sibley, off 60 balls.

    It's a second of the match for him in his farewell match before returning to Surrey.

  3. Five-wicket haul for Jack White

    Northants 163 v Essex 263 & 84-8

    Shane Snater lasts just two balls. He goes for a big heave across the line and is hit on the pads.

    That is as plumb as you get.

    Terrific bowling from Jack White. That is 5-27 for the Northants seamer.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Harmer c Vasconcelos b White 16

    Northants 163 v Essex 263 & 84-7

    The commentator's curse befalls Simon Harmer!

    He tries another attempted cut shot but edges it straight to the wicketkeeper and walks off, swishing his bat in frustration.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Davies c Holland b Wheal 32

    Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 97-3 v Hampshire 311

    Warwickshire have to take risks and Alex Davies pays the price.

    In his attempt to hit one of those big drives, he can't beat Ian Holland at extra cover.

    Bears captain Will Rhodes is the new man in, with Sam Hain struggling with an injury.

  6. Harmer showing his quality

    Northants 163 v Essex 263 & 84-6

    A cracking shot off the back foot from Simon Harmer as he eases Jack White to the point boundary for four.

    The South Africa spinner is up to 16 and showing why he was picked in the BBC county team of the season.

    ncolerfc92: Only one Surrey player in team of the season is shocking and would have one of Barker or Abbas in the team of the season too.

  8. Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 92-2 v Hampshire 311

    Alex Davies tries to launch a couple of big drives but he can't beat the in-field.

    Only three singles from this Brad Wheal over, but that is 30 runs in six overs so far today.

    That is not a bad platform for them to launch an assault.

  9. Lead up to 50

    Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 89-2 v Hampshire 311

    A fine cut shot from Alex Davies gets four off the second ball of Mohammad Abbas' over.

    Davies gets a couple more singles and Dom Sibley another one as Warwickshire get seven from those six balls.

    The lead is now up to 50.

  10. Sibley accelerating

    Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 82-2 v Hampshire 311

    That's more like it!

    Dom Sibley puts his foot on the accelerator (not a phrase often heard) with a lovely flick through the onside and then a nice drive through the covers.

    Two boundaries and a push for two off the last ball.

    Ten off the over - a productive one.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Alsop c Salter b Patel 3

    Sussex 258 & 333-2 v Glam 533-9d

    Lucky as it was, Glamorgan would have taken their breakthrough and they now have a second wicket.

    Tom Alsop slaps Ajaz Patel straight to backward point.

  12. No play before lunch at New Road

    Worcs 225 v Middx 509

    The rain must have been severe in Worcester overnight because the morning session has been chalked off due to a wet outfield.

    There will be no appetite from either side to play really.

    A draw is enough to see Middlesex promoted.

    Loser92: Another Essex batting collapse of catastrophic proportions! How do they do it?

  14. wicket

    WICKET Borthwick lbw Broad 4

    Notts v Durham 20-3 (Target 577)

    Stuart Broad with an early strike for Notts.

    He’s round the wicket angling one in and beats the inside edge of Scott Borthwick.

    Don’t think it would have gone on to miss leg and Durham lose their first of day four.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Pepper c Gay b White 7

    Northants 163 v Essex 263 & 64-6

    That did not take long!

    Michael Pepper tries to advance down the wicket, but Jack White gets his edge and that is catching practise at second slip.

  16. Murky light

    Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 72-2 v Hampshire 311

    Ten runs from the first three overs. Steady accumulation rather than any fireworks yet.

    Although it must be said that the light is a bit murky. Batting is not easy in these conditions.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Orr run out (Patel) 198

    Sussex 258 & 328-1 v Glam 533-9d

    Oh no !!

    Maybe you can’t say it’s cruel after 198 but this is still so unkind on Ali Orr.

    Tom Haines drills a low full toss back to Ajaz Patel and it flicks his fingers onto the stumps and Orr is short of his ground.

    What a tremendous shame after a wonderful innings.

    Just 174 balls, 18 fours and 10 sixes but he’s gone two shy of a maiden double century.

  18. Final Division One game

    Northants 163 v Essex 263 & 64-5

    Play is also under way at Northampton between mid-table teams Northants and Essex.

    Although as Essex began the day with a lead of 163 runs but only five wickets in hand, so it could be an exciting final day of the season at Wantage Road.

  19. Warwickshire 272-4 dec & 64-2 v Hampshire 311

    Just the two singles from the opening over from Mohammad Abbas.

    Brad Wheal has the ball at the City End.
