WICKET - Hill c O Price b Dent 25published at 16:33 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Yorkshire 550-9 dec & 200-6, Gloucestershire 464
In fading light, Yorkshire lose a sixth wicket, George Hill, caught at slip.
It is a rare scalp for occasional trundler Chris Dent
His first of the season, from only his ninth ball.
Rain stops play at Worcesterpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Worcestershire 237 & 213-5, Derbyshire 578-5 dec
Off they come at New Road.
Will this be the third game in a row when Worcestershire are saved by the rain?
Ed Pollock (and his doughty 38 off 167 balls) looks like being a match saver.

Sussex 223-8, chasing 359 to beat Glamorgan
Just one scoring shot in the three overs since the last wicket fell. Think we have seen Sussex abandon any hopes of knocking off the 136 runs they still need for an extraordinary victory.
All down to Glamorgan to try to find the two wickets which would inflict a first defeat on Sussex and take them above their rivals in the Division Two table.
WICKET Wright c Potts b Parkinson 4published at 16:26 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Leicestershire 422 & 181-7 v Durham 517-6 dec & 343-3 dec - Target: 439
Three to go for Durham.
Like the proverbial buses, you wait an age for a wicket and then three come in four overs.
Matt Parkinson finds a ton of turn and takes the outside edge of Chris Wright's bat and it flies to the mitts of Matthew Potts at slip.
Now its brother to brother as Callum Parkinson emerges to face the bowling of Matt.
WICKET Hudson-Prentice b Harris 12published at 16:17 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Sussex 221-8, chasing 359 to beat Glamorgan
Middle stump gone. Right in the blockhole from James Harris. That's a beauty. The nine-over partnership is over and Fynn Hudson-Prentice makes the long walk back to the dressing room.
Oli Carter remains there on 32, Sussex need 138 more but are down to their last two wickets. Jack Carson is the new batter.
WICKET Scriven c Borthwick b Potts 0published at 16:11 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Leicestershire 422 & 174-6 v Durham 517-6 dec & 343-3 dec - Target: 439
And another!
Peter Handscomb is not impressed as Tom Scriven attempts to drive Matt Potts and gets a thick outside edge to Scott Borthwick at second slip.
A second-ball duck and Durham's tails are up again.
Chris Wright is in - the visitors are into the bowlers.
They have 33.3 overs - light permitting - to get the four wickets needed for victory.

Sussex 214-7, chasing 359 to beat Glamorgan
Oli Carter sweeps Mitch Swepson for four to fine leg and then punches him through the covers for a single.
Five an over would actually do Sussex here...
James Harris' first ball from the other end is pulled to the rope by Carter who is on 30 from 47 deliveries.
145 required...
WICKET Mulder c Robinson b Raine 37published at 16:06 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Leicestershire 422 & 173-5 v Durham 517-6 dec & 343-3 dec - Target: 439
Now then has this opened the door for Durham?
Wiaan Mulder will be fuming. He cannot believe he's been given out and the ball did appear to miss his edge on its way through to wicketkeeper Ollie Robinson.
But the finger goes up and his 71-ball vigil is over.
The hosts looked to be cruising to the draw with the pitch and ball offering little assistance, but Raine (4-43) strikes in the second over after tea.
Tom Scriven joins Peter Hansdcomb.
Back on again after tea at New Roadpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Worcestershire 237 & 198-5, Derbyshire 578-5 dec
The Derbyshire spinners resume their quest to remove the final five Worcestershire men in this final session of the match.
Ed Pollock has now been batting for almost three hours for his 29, supported now by Matthew Waite.

Sussex 205-7, chasing 359 to beat Glamorgan
Here we go... 33 overs at least to bowl. Weather looks less and less likely to be a factor.
Oli Carter and Fynn Hudson-Prentice stride out with a plan. What that plan is will hopefully become clean in short order.
Mitch Swepson has the ball in hand.
WICKET - Tattersall c O Price b Charlesworth 1published at 15:59 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Yorkshire 550-9 dec & 161-5, Gloucestershire 464
Jonny Tattersall does not last long.
Two balls in fact, as Ben Charlesworth comes on and the Tykes wicketkeeper edges to Ollie Price at first slip.
Charlesworth has now taken a wicket with his first ball in both the first and second innings.
Matthew Revis, one of the three Yorkshire first-innings centurions, is next man in.
WICKET - Malan c Bracey b Zafar 20published at 15:55 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Yorkshire 550-9 dec & 160-4, Gloucestershire 464
Dawid Malan is out caught behind at Headingley.
Jonny Tattersall comes in to join George Hill.
Tea at New Roadpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Worcestershire 237 & 196-5, Derbyshire 578-5 dec
Tea is taken in Worcester.
Regrettably, as is often the case on the final day of County Championship games, there is no cake. The famous Worcestershire tea ladies traditionally only do a three-day week. But there at least a few biccies in the press box.
Golden Oat Crumblies v Stem Ginger Cookies?
Thankfully no Bourbons!

BBC SussexA good session for Glamorgan picking up five wickets and with 33 overs left after tea to pick up the remaining three.
Credit skipper Kiran Carlson who has changed the bowling around and picked up wickets at regular intervals.
Nathan McAndrew, promoted to number five in the Sussex order, briefly threatened to turn this into a run chase scoring 43 in as many balls, but in reality this is now about survival for Sussex who need 153 more to win.
Bad light stops play and tea at Leicesterpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Leicestershire 422 & 165-4 v Durham 517-6 dec & 343-3 dec - Target: 439
It's got a little gloomy again so the umpires have decided to take an early tea.
Only four minutes early - or the time it takes to wolf down a sandwich or two.
A very handy session for Leicestershire as they have largely blunted a Durham attack which looked lethal before lunch.
Wiaan Mulder (31) and Peter Handscomb (71) will take them in at 165-4 with 36 overs remaining as it stands.
The hosts added 77 runs in that session for the loss of Colin Ackermann.

Sussex 201-7, chasing 359 to beat Glamorgan
Two boundaries in three balls for Oli Carter - sadly for everyone they are only fours so we can't call him Carter The Unstoppable Six Machine.
Fynn Hudson-Prentice makes it three boundaries in four balls carting Andrew Salter to deep mid-wicket to bring up the 200.
158 needed. 35-plus overs to get them, so long as the weather, elusive so far, stays away.

Leicestershire 422 & 163-4 v Durham 517-6 dec & 343-3 dec - Target: 439
Durham's attack has become a little becalmed so Matt Potts is back.
He probes away with his 11th over of the day. It's tidy until Peter Handscomb drives the last ball to the boundary.
It's looking comfortable out there for Handscomb and Wiaan Mulder who are doing a fine job in taking the sting out of this game.
Restart at Headingleypublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Yorkshire 550-9 dec & 148-3, Gloucestershire 464
The tannoy announcer has just announced a scheduled restart in Leeds at 3:40.
An early has been taken - and 43 overs remain in the day, with the floodlights on and no earthly chance of a result in this game.
Should be fun!
WICKET Ibrahim c ul-Hassan b Swepson 11published at 15:25 British Summer Time 28 June 2023
Sussex 184-7, chasing 359 to beat Glamorgan
That's very avoidable. Mitch Swepson returns and immediately tempts Danial Ibrahim to get down on one knee to pull him away, only to top-edge straight to Zain ul-Hassan at square leg.
Not sure whether Sussex are trying to win it or trying to save it. At this rate they'll do neither.
Fynn Hudson-Prentice is the new man.
