Three balls after a tea... and a wicket!
Calvin Harrison gets Paul Walter playing forward, it takes the edge and that is an excellent grab at slip by Ben Duckett.
Walter did a great job after lunch, but he cannot add to his fine 79.

Danny Briggs will continue to bowl from the Birmingham End to see us through this session of play.

A wonderful innings from Kashif Ali.
It was a nice gesture from the Warwickshire lads to say well done. You can't do anything else.
It's put Worcestershire in a wonderful position.

Zain-ul-Hassan and his part-time seam with the last ball before tea.

The deficit is 251, but more importantly the follow-on target is only 102 away now.

Michael Booth got under it and you would have backed against him holding that I have to say.
I thought looking the way the wind is blowing, that was not an easy catch but he took it and steadied himself well in the end.
Kent 284 v Somerset 201-2
Tom Lammonby and Lewis Goldsworthy have put on 59 for the third wicket and taken Somerset past 200.
The deficit now is under 100 and the visitors are looking good.
In usual circumstances Somerset would be favourites for victory but, given we lost the first day to bad weather and this is effectively a three-day game now, it might end up that time is not on their side.

He hasn't quite timed it and Michael Booth makes good ground to take the ball in front of the rope at deep square leg.
An extraordinary innings of touch, class and derring-do comes to an end.
It's been an honour to witness.
Rob Jones to bat next.
Warwks 333 v Worcs 360 & 207-1
