    Northants 232 v Lancashire 330-6

    Another very good knock from George Balderson.

    A fourth 50 of the season to go with his maiden century as he averages a tad under 60.

    His single off Justin Broad is the 116th ball he has faced, but he has played a very good second fiddle to centurion Justin Broad with this partnership now worth 141.

    There must be a sinking feeling among Warwickshire followers as Sam Hain is squared up by Jordan Clark and edges through to Ben Foakes.

    That is the 19th wicket to fall in the day and the Bears need another 215 to avoid an innings defeat.

    Hants 308 & 0-0 v Somerset 137

    There will be no follow-on for Somerset, and I can kind of understand that with the heat - would be a tough ask for Hampshire's bowlers to go again.

    Toby Albert and Fletcha Middleton each play out a maiden to start Hampshire's second dig.

  4. Division Two updatepublished at 16:42 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Leicestershire's seamers are continuing to plug away at Grace Road.

    Harry Tector flicks Wiaan Mulder to square leg for four as he moves to 24 not out for Gloucestershire - they are 122-4 and lead by 77.

    Durham 313-5 v Sussex 266

    Graham Clark adds a fortunate boundary as the ball flies off the outside edge as he is squared up by Jaydev Unadkat.

    Clark is 37 not out and the Durham lead is 47.

  6. 50 runs

    up for Yorkshirepublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Yorkshire 297 & 55-0 v Derbyshire 247

    Yorkshire pair Adam Lyth and Fin Bean are rattling along at four an over as they enjoy themselves in the early evening sunshine.

    The lead is up to 105 and they could bat Derbyshire out of the game in this session.

    WICKET Rhodes c Foakes b Worrall 10published at 16:35 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Surrey 396 v Warwicks 161 & 19-2

    Rash, reckless - both are words that apply to that shot by Will Rhodes.

    Having seen his opening partner fall to the final ball of the previous over, he attempts to drive an angled delivery at the start of the next and edges Dan Worrall to the keeper.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Yadav c Stoneman b de Caires 18published at 16:34 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Essex 260-8 v Middlesex

    But the bowler has his revenge!

    Umesh Yadav goes for another maximum, but it's brilliantly caught above his head by Mark Stoneman at long-on.

    De Caires gave up a few runs, but he kept tossing it up and he now has six.

  9. 250 runs

    First batting point for Essexpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Essex 260-7 v Middlesex

    Umesh Yadav slaps Josh de Caires down the ground for four and that brings up the Essex 250 and a first batting point.

    Next ball, he goes even harder and gets a six.

    De Caires switches to round the wicket and Yadav thumps it through cow corner for four more.

    14 in three balls.

    WICKET Brathwaite b Clark 9published at 16:33 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Surrey 396 v Warwicks 161 & 19-1

    Jordan Clark relieves Kemar Roach and makes the breakthrough with the final ball of his opening over.

    It's a beauty too, cutting away and hitting off stump, and Warwickshire's West Indies signing is gone for the second time today.

    Little more than a push by Kraigg Brathwaite but it flashes across the outfield to the extra cover boundary.

    Superb timing by the West Indian off Dan Worrall.

  12. WICKET Bashir lbw b Barker 1published at 16:26 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Hants 308 v Somerset 137

    That is plumb!

    Shoaib Bashir shuffles across his stumps and is trapped bang in front by Keith Barker, who finishes with 5-32 from his 12.1 overs.

    Now then, will James Vince put Somerset back in?

  13. Second batting point for Durhampublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Durham 301-5 v Sussex 266

    Graham Clark dabs Jaydev Unadkat and picks up a couple of runs to move Durham's total past 300.

    Should be eight down for Essex.

    Simon Harmer clips a Toby Roland-Jones ball to short midwicket but Max Holden puts it down.

    Middlesex will fancy mopping up the innings tonight the way they are bowling.

    Worcs 284 & 64-1 v Glamorgan 170

    Worcestershire are taking absolutely no risks, perfectly happy to tick along and grind Glamorgan down.

    Jake Libby has 32, while Azhar Ali has 27.

  16. Division Two updatepublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Wicket for Leicestershire as Wiaan Mulder has Miles Hammond leg before for 46.

    Gloucestershire are 108-4 in their second innings, 63 runs to the good, as James Bracey - who is on a pair - joins Harry Tector.

    Surrey 396 v Warwicks 161 & 8-0

    Kemar Roach comes in from round the wicket to Will Rhodes, but that one is too straight and is clipped through mid-wicket for four runs.

    Warwickshire have a dual task in this session, keeping the scoreboard moving, but also keeping wickets intact.

    WICKET Umeed st Brown b Dawson 43published at 16:19 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Hants 308 v Somerset 136-9

    Gone this time!

    Andy Umeed charges Liam Dawson, but is deceived in the flight, and Ben Brown whips off the bails.

    Somerset still trail by 172...

  19. dropped catch

    Umeed dropped on 39published at 16:18 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Hants 308 v Somerset 136-8

    Liam Dawson continues, and finds the outside edge of Andy Umeed's bat.

    It flies to first slip's left hand, but bursts through and goes away for four.

  20. 150 runs

    for Josh Bohannonpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 4 September 2023

    Northants 232 v Lancashire 297-6

    A thumping cover drive off Ben Sanderson takes Josh Bohannon to another landmark as he is now up to 150 off 263 balls.

    His team really needed him and he has not let them down today.
