Glamorgan v Durham 209-3
Durham have lost their third wicket at Sophia Gardens with Michael Jones adjudged lbw as he tried to reverse sweep Marnus Labuschagne. David Bedingham and Ollie Robinson are now together for the visitors.
Middlesex v Notts 201-4
James picks up four more off Hollman between cover and extra cover to take Notts to 200 in the 55th over.
Ben Duckett is 98 not out at the other end.
Northants v Hants 165-2
We reach the 58th over at Wantage Road and it's time for some spin.
Rob Keogh has the ball and his first two deliveries are picked off for singles by the not out Hampshire batters.
Five in total from it and Nick Gubbins is 72 not out with James Vince on 51.
Worcs v Glos 221-9
A maiden first class century for Tom Price - who more than anyone else has dragged his side from a near hopeless position to what may be a competitive total.
Honourable mentions must go to Ajeet Dale and Marchant de Lange for their contributions down the order as well. He gets to the landmark with a drive through the offside and a hard run single off Matthew Waite.
93 balls, 11 fours and four sixes. Take a bow, sir.
Somerset 174-4 v Lancashire
Cracking shot from Tom Abell as Tom Bailey drops short and there is no need to run as that flies to the midwicket boundary.
And another one as he squares cut Bailey for another four. Beautiful batting!
Somerset are having an excellent afternoon session with 73 runs scored from 26 overs and no wickets conceded.
Worcs v Glos 218-9
Brett D'Oliveira is into the attack for Worcestershire and Tom Price smashes the ball through mid on for four runs.
He's 97 not out and within touching distance of a maiden first class ton.
Middlesex v Notts 192-4
Lyndon James moves into the 20s with a full blooded slap through the covers off Hollman.
The partnership is worth 40 off 61 balls after Notts lost three quick wickets for 21 after lunch.
Northants v Hants 159-2
Tip and run by James Vince as he completes a 95-ball half-century with a single off Gareth Berg. It's been a disciplined knock by the Hampshire skipper apart from that top-edged chance to long leg and his partnership with Nick Gubbins is now worth 87.
Somerset 166-4 v Lancashire
A victory of sorts for Somerset as Lancashire throw the ball to left-arm spinner Tom Hartley.
He is the sixth bowler Lancs have used today as they search for a breakthrough.
Sussex 165-4 v Yorks
Mickey Edwards is back into the attack for Yorkshire and Tom Alsop pulls him away for four. He advances to 67 not out.
Middlesex v Notts 184-4
Lyndon James picks up successive fours off the bowling of Martin Andersson, stepping back and driving on the up through the covers.
He's on 15 not out while Ben Duckett is unbeaten on 91.
Make that 95 as the England and Notts opener drives Higgins straight down the ground for four more.
Northants v Hants 152-2
Jo Gardner
Sunrisers and Oval Invincibles all-rounder
Northamptonshire’s seam bowlers are working hard to no avail in this afternoon session as Nick Gubbins and James Vince keep the Hampshire total ticking along with little risk taken.
Vince (48*) is - as ever - very easy on the eye with his stroke play, but I have been impressed with how classy Gubbins has looked for his 62 so far. Their partnership is worth 76 at the end of the 54th over.
Here's the latest on our matches in Cardiff and New Road...
The Gloucestershire tail continues to thwart Worcestershire at New Road, where the visitors have recovered from 8-4 and 89-8 to 204-9.
Tom Price is on a career best 90 not out with 10 fours and four sixes.
Durham have reached 187-2 against Glamorgan - with Michael jones unbeaten on 68.
Dale drives Tongue down the ground for four runs and that brings up a 10th wicket stand of 50 in just 49 balls!
What would the odd on that have been this morning when Gloucester were 8-4?
Middlesex v Notts 169-4
The Notts nerves have eased a little since a flurry of wickets fell shortly after lunch.
Andersson has settled into a tidy line and length - with just one run coming from his 8th over.
Higgins pitches up and hurries Duckett into a defensive jab. His fourth ball is squeezed away to deep square leg for one.
Sussex 151-4 v Yorkshire
Back to back maidens from Dom Bess but Sussex have passed 150 thanks to a four and a couple of twos by Tom Alsop off Matt Fisher. The left-hander is now on 59.
Northants v Hants 145-2
James Vince forces Gareth Berg away through the covers for the sixth four of his innings and a single to mid-wicket takes him to 41 not out. He didn't reach 20 in his four previous innings this season but is looking like he may be in the mood to make Northants pay for the earlier dropped catch.
Somerset 153-4 v Lancashire
Saqib Mahmood drops a touch short and James Rew rocks back and crashes it through the covers for four.
Rew had played and missed at a couple of similar shots, but he makes no mistake this time.
That shot is bettered, though, by Tom Abell, with a gorgeous on-drive off Colin de Grandhomme to bring up his 50.
Abell has played a fine hand for his side, reaching his half-century in 109 balls with seven fours.
Middlesex v Notts 166-4
Shot! Lyndon James caresses a full length ball from Andersson through mid off for his first four.
Ryan Higgins to bowl...
