Liam Dawson back on at Canterbury.

Can he find a breakthrough?

Not in this over. It's tidy, but one single to Jack Leaning and no alarms.

Steady away for Leicestershire after tea.

Wiaan Mulder continues to lead them to safety on 74 and Tom Scriven is playing his part with 27.

31 overs remain at Grace Road and you'd think the Foxes would need to eat up maybe 15 to make the game safe.

Keith Barker summons the energy for a vociferous appeal.

Jordan Cox is the intended target, but the lbw appeal looks high and instead it's a leg bye.

It's all gone a bit flat for Hampshire as Cox (6) and Jack Leaning (44) weigh anchor at Canterbury.

But a few quick wickets could set the nerves a jangling.

Kent are 68 behind and 30 overs remain.

And on they go.

Still no sign of a Somerset declaration as James Rew and Kasey Aldridge nudge the total past 350 and the lead nearer to 400.

All immaterial it would seem.

Rew moves on to 109 and needs nine more to surpass his highest first-class score.

Aldridge (72) has already gone past his previous best mark of 58 and is eyeing a maiden first-class ton.

Steve Smith may not have contributed with the bat in this match, but he’s probably won the award for catch of the season.

A magnificent diving catch one handed to his right dismissed the disbelieving Rehan Ahmed, as Sussex took their sixth wicket.

Leicestershire are effectively 68- 6 in their second innings with Wiaan Mulder batting beautifully on 70

However this game has been full of twists and turns, and with 36 overs still to be bowled we could yet be in for an exciting finish.

A burst of three wickets in 17 balls has given Gloucestershire hope that they can force victory in the final session.

They still have a good lead but they will need to force a collapse.

Earlier, they made 383 to collect three batting points. Zafar Gohar and Matt Taylor with fifties to follow Ben Charlesworth's 87.

40 overs left at the Racecourse.

Honours to Kent in the afternoon session.

Sam Billings was the only batter to fall as the hosts blunted the Hampshire attack.

Only 56 runs have been added, but survival is the name of the game.

Jack Leaning (38) and Jordan Cox (5) have chewed up 102 balls in scoring a stately 20 for the fifth wicket.

Kent need 76 to avoid an innings defeat, and the visitors need six more wickets. There's 35 overs to go.

Leicestershire holding Sussex at bay for the moment.

They were 65-4 following on but Rishi Patel made 100, his third of the season, to push the Foxes into the lead.

Wiaan Mulder takes tea 70 not out and he and the lower order will need to chalk off a few more of the remaining 36 overs to earn a draw.

This game has been ambling gently to its inevitably drawn conclusion for quite some time now.

The introduction of some friendly bowling from Dane Vilas, Steven Croft and George Bell has failed to tempt Somerset into a declaration.

James Rew (106) and Kasey Aldridge (63) have cashed in as the visitors added 135 runs in that session without loss to extend their lead to a monstrous 381.

There's 26 overs scheduled, but the captains may well just shake hands before then.

Have Kent drawn the Hampshire sting?

Jack Leaning and Jordan Cox have negotiated the new ball with minimal fuss.

Can they make it to tea without further loss? There's 10 minutes before refreshments.

Kent trail by 76.

Can I play you every week?

James Rew brings up his third century of the season - all against Lancashire.

Rew made 117 at Taunton last month and played a superb 105 in the first innings here which dug Somerset out of a huge hole.

He's now the Championship's leading run scorer this season.

This time around the 19-year-old helped himself to 15 fours from 196 balls and put on 131 with Kasey Aldridge.

But no declaration yet.

Kasey Aldridge smacks a juicy full toss for four off George Bell and that’s a second career first-class fifty.

It’s also a second of the season - both have come against Lancashire. This one was made off 98 balls.

The lead is 358 and we have 32 overs left.

Kent 95 & 201-4 v Hampshire 373

Ian Holland has the new cherry in hand.

Hampshire need a quick impact with it if they're to pull off a third Championship win of the season.

No scares from that over, however, and it produces a single for Jack Leaning. Kent trail by 77.

Can Keith Barker have more joy at the other end?

Now it's wicketkeeper George Bell's turn to have a bowl for Lancashire.

He has turned his arm over for England Under 19s so not a complete novice.

His first-ever first-class over goes for just the one single and three leg-byes.

Ryan Patel pulls Mark Stoneman over mid-wicket for the winning boundary and Surrey have mopped this game up very comfortably.

It was quite even yesterday morning but then Surrey kicked on to a large first-innings lead with Jamie Smith's fine 97 and excellent runs from the last three wickets.

Then after some Middlesex resistance yesterday evening, the Surrey attack was back to its best this morning to leave only a few to knock off.

Surrey back on top of the County Championship.

So when’s the declaration?

James Rew (85) and Kasey Aldridge (42) have put on 94 for the sixth wicket and the lead is now up to 94.

The acceleration comes courtesy of some help-yourself deliveries from Steven Croft and Dane Vilas. Yes, you heard it right, Croft and Vilas.

We have a little over 38 scheduled overs remaining at Old Trafford.
