When Leicestershire strode out this morning on 68-2, replying to Sussex's 262, they could not have envisioned in their wildest nightmares that by stumps they'd be facing a second innings deficit of 388 runs, with five Sussex wickets still standing and two days in which for it to get worse.

Ari Karvelas stole the show with 4-14 in the opening 97 minutes as the Foxes' final eight wickets fell for 40 and later 69 from his teammate Tom Clark laid the foundations for the second innings.

James Coles goes in unbeaten on 43 and Sussex have their first win since April in their sights.

More light meter readings. Dear me.

Please turn away now.

Stumps are out and the players are going off.

A 20-ball session comes to an end.

Ed Middleton is into his second spell of the day and his first ball is slapped through cover off the back foot by Leus du Plooy for four runs.

Six runs from the over in all.

Matt Lamb drives Zafar Gohar through long on for four to take Derbyshire past 250 in the 68th over.

Maiden from Jayant Yadav - and now we'll have spin at first end with Josh de Caires coming on from the Brian Statham End.

There's spin and bounce for de Caires, bowling with a forward short leg and a slip.

Luke Wells is forward to defend - and drives the fifth ball to mid off for a single.

Kent were probably a bit miffed to have crumpled from 387-4 this morning to post 446, however they won't be too concerned tonight.

Bar one big stand of 131 for the third wicket between Steven Mullaney (86) and Joe Clarke (62), the visitors have lost wickets at regular intervals.

Debutant duo Aron Nijjar and Yuzvendra Chahal have taken three scalps apiece and spun their new side into a commanding position at stumps on day two.

Notts are still 31 shy of a batting bonus point and 77 short of avoiding the follow-on.

With a bit of weather forecast in the next 48 hours, the next session looks crucial.

Dane Vilas blocks out the first two balls of this mini session of play.

11 overs left.

Jayant Yadav will bowl to Luke Wells from the Anderson End.

Ethan Bamber has two balls left to complete his over.

Dane Vilas on strike, unbeaten on 21. Luke Wells has 60.

A mini session of play that Middlesex must win.

Leus du Plooy has been scoring at nearly a run a ball and Zafar Gohar is bowling a tight line to try and stem the flow of runs.

The Derby batter is down the track to the fourth ball, driving to mid on.

Zafar bowls round the wicket and Matt Lamb almost yorks himself trying to drive. Just a single from the over.

Luke Charlesworth has replaced the unlucky Josh Shaw in the attack and his first ball is driven imperiously through cover for four by Leus du Plooy.

A single off the second ball to extra cover.

Matt Lamb clips the third ball away through mid wicket for four more.

Josh Shaw has his hands on his haunches, no doubt wondering what on earth he has to do to take a wicket.

Matt Lamb inside edges the last ball of the 61st over past leg stump and through to fine leg for four.

Good news! But remember "weather permitting."

Conditions have improved and play is due to start at 5:40pm with 11.2 overs remaining in the day's play.

Josh Shaw drifts down leg and Leus du Plooy helps the ball round the corner for four.

The last ball is edged short of Ollie Price and runs away to third man for four more!

Tense times in a session that could be won by either side.

Gloucestershire are seizing momentum after a Derbyshire first wicket stand of 132.

But Matt Lamb is off the mark first ball with a back foot cut through point for four.
