James Fuller is getting the ball to swing away but his line isn't right at the moment. When he drops one in short of a length, Gareth Berg is up on his toes to steer it away past the slips for four. The Northants deficit is now 292.

Hollman gets a bit of width outside off stump and Hollman pushes the Broad delivery through point off the back foot for four runs into the Mound Stand.

Middlesex need to bat on and take as much time out of the game as possible.

The weather is likely to intervene tomorrow.

Jamie Porter is handing trouble with the Canterbury slope.

He is certainly helping Zak Crawley get his score moving. Two more legside half-volleys and Crawley is too good to miss out on those.

Crawley is already up to 30 with six boundaries, five off Porter.

Pujara is getting into his stride at Hove and takes two fours in successive balls off Jordan Thompson.

The first one is steered behind point and the second is flicked away behind square leg.

Solid start.

Hampshire have been blessed with some fine overseas bowlers over the years, think Malcolm Marshall and Shane Warne. But how high up the list should Kyle Abbott and Mohammad Abbas be? Let us know your thoughts, Hants fans.

Just a couple of runs come from Broad's over, bowling back of a length.

Dane Paterson is bowling from the Nursery End a short ball is pulled away for one to take the hosts to 200 in the 64th over.

Remember - batting points start at 250 runs these days.

Gloucestershire have begun their second innings at New Road after bowling out Worcestershire for 157.Marcus Harris has an early boundary and they are 8-0 after three overs.

It's Aussie v Aussie at Cardiff where Matt Kuhnemann has sent down a tidy over to Marnus Labuschagne. Glamorgan are 55-2, after Durham declared on 471-9 during the morning.

Pujara drives Bess with a wristy flick to sqaure leg for one - and that brings up the Sussex 50 in the 14th over.

Just the one run from the over.

James Fuller starts the afternoon session with the ball for Hampshire.

Luke Procter uppercuts for four and follows that with another boundary.

A positive start by the struggling home side.

Advantage Sussex going into this session, but Yorkshire have limited their advantage with a precious last wicket stand of 59 between Ben Coad (45) and Mickey Edwards (19).

They had a bit of luck with the run out of Ali Orr at the non striker's end but it was skill alone that accounted for the wicket of Alsop, pinned lbw shortly before the break.

Sussex captain Cheteshwar Pujara (1 not out) is batting with Tom Haines, who has looked largely assured in his unbeaten knock of 22 to date.

Dom Bess will bowl to Pujara.

Zak Crawley is given the last helping of the lunchtime buffet with the first ball of the session.

Short and halfway down the track on the legside from Jamie Porter - that is four for any batter worth their salt.

The same for the fifth ball of the over, a leg-stump half-volley, which gets the treatment from the England opener.

This could be a pivotal session of play. Middlesex are a long way behind parity but with a pretty poor weather forecast expected for much of tomorrow, they can seriously impede the chances of a Notts win with a couple more sessions of batting today.

Ryan Higgins has 31 and resumes the batting with Luke Hollman - who is 13 not out.

Stuart Broad has the ball and will bowl to Higgins.

Third ball of the middle session and a controlled edge from George Balderson puts Lancashire in front.

An outside edge off the next ball and it's four more for Balderson.

Three in a row for the all-rounder, but this time it's a more controlled shot through backward shot as Kasey Aldridge drops short outside off.

Make that four! The best shot of the lot with a lovely off-drive from Balderson.

16 off the over - Lancashire now lead by 15 and now have all five batting points from this innings.

There have been some big scores in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy this morning.

Paige Scholfield has just reached a century for South East Stars, who have passed 300 against Thunder at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Mady Villers made 70 off 53 balls and Jodi Grewcock 69 as Sunrisers totalled 288-7 against Southern Vipers at the Ageas Bowl.

Durham continue to dominate in Cardiff but may have their work cut out to push for victory with rain forecast to shorten today’s play and interfere again tomorrow.

They started the day needing 68 runs off 14 overs to pick up maximum batting points and got there in the 110th over thanks to some aggressive strokeplay from Brydon Carse, in particular, in a career-best 91.

Liam Trevaskis comfortably steered Durham past 450 but the visitors strangely decided to stay in the middle for an extra three overs before Trevaskis, on 79, missed a slog at Labuschagne - whose variable efforts with his new off-spin brought him his best first-class bowling figures of 4-81.

Glamorgan lost Eddie Byrom lbw to Paul Coughlin's first delivery, while Ben Raine won a marginal leg-before verdict against Glamorgan skipper David Lloyd (31) on the stroke of lunch as the umpires continue to look favourably on the bowlers.

A last-wicket onslaught from Ben Coad in which he added 59 with Mickey Edwards meant Yorkshire only trailed Sussex by 63 runs on first innings

Coad hit 45 in 32 balls including five huge sixes, but was eventually dismissed by Jack Carson, who finished with career best figures of 5-79

In reply, Sussex lost Ali Orr run out backing up for the third time in five innings, and with Tom Alsop then out first ball, Sussex have some rebuilding to do after lunch with the lead 112.

Somerset haven't exactly come roaring back into this contest but they have picked up three wickets and stemmed the flow of runs.

A repeat of the 801 which Lancashire piled up here in 1895 remains a possibility on the flattest of flat pitches.

The enforced retirement of Keaton Jennings with a calf problem has made that much less likely, as has the two wickets - Vilas and de Grandhomme - which Lewis Gregory picked up with the new ball.

But a run-fest this remains.

Division One

Kent 13-0 v Essex 451-5 dec

Glamorgan lose their second wicket to the final ball before lunch as David Lloyd falls lbw to Ben Raine for 31 as he tries to work the ball through the leg-side.

Marnus Labuschagne is still there, 15 not out, and the Welsh county are going to need plenty more from their Australian star after Durham declared earlier in the morning.

Brydon Carse made 91 before he fell to Michael Neser and Liam Trevaskis was last to go for 79.

This game is very closely fought as Yorkshire's 10th wicket stand was every bit as productive as the Sussex last pair vigil on Friday evening.

Ali Orr was desperately unlucky to be run out backing up and a crucial breakthrough by Ben Coad to get rid of Alsop after an entertaining and vital cameo with the bat.
