  1. NORTHANTS BEAT WORCESTERSHIRE
    Breaking

    Northants (597-7 dec) beat Worcestershire (306 & 114) by an innings & 177 runs

  2. Final over at Taunton

    Yorks 363-9 (lead Somerset by 251 runs)

    Can Somerset find the final breakthrough in the last over?

    Can Jhye Richardson go to his 50? He's four runs away.

    Craig Overton to bowl it.

  3. Hants 214 &115-5 f/o v Glam 536-7d

    Felix Organ ducks out of the way of a couple of leg side bouncers from Ryan Hadley and there are now just two overs for Hants to negotiate.

    Mason Crane will bowl the first of them and watches as his second delivery is nudged by Ben Brown for a single.

    Asa Tribe goes in close at silly mid off/cover.

  4. Final over at The Oval

    Sussex 69-4 (trail Surrey by 195 runs)

    Six legal deliveries remain on day three at The Oval. Reece Topley will send them down.

    Daniel Hughes is 36 not out, Charlie Tear has three to his name.

  5. Sussex 69-4 (trail Surrey by 195 runs)

    Dan Lawrence continues to bowl well. He gets one to go through Charlie Tear's gate but it misses the off stump.

  6. 'Brilliant bowling by Lawrence'

    Sussex 61-4, trail Surrey by 203

    Mark Church
    BBC Radio London commentator

    Brilliant bit of bowling by Dan Lawrence and that's why Rory Burns got him into the attack.

    It was a good catch by Jamie Smith at the second grab.

  7. Yorkshire lead by 250

    Yorks 362-9 (lead Somerset by 250 runs)

    Craig Overton induces a thick edge from Jack White but it goes down to the third man boundary.

    Somerset will need upwards of 250 now to win this game.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Swanepoel c & b Sanderson 8 (Worcs 103-9 v Northants)

    Seven wickets for Ben Sanderson!

    Beyers Swanepeol offers a return catch which Sanderson claims. The Northants seamer now has figures of 7-31.

    This will almost certainly be done tonight with the Pears still trailing by 188.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Simpson c Smith b Lawrence 13 (Sussex 61-4, trail Surrey by 203)

    Dan Lawrence has got rid of John Simpson.

    Bowling round the wicket to the left-hander, he gets the ball in a good area, Simpson props forward and the slight turn catches the edge. Jamie Smith does the rest.

  10. Yorks 358-9 (lead Somerset by 246 runs)

    Four more for Jhye Richardson. Josh Thomas drops a little short and Richardson cuts it to the boundary.

    Craig Overton returns. Can he end the resistance?

  11. Hants 112-5 f/o trail by 210 runs

    Mason Crane, back to bowl the sixth last over of the day, nearly gets the wicket of Ben Brown first up as the Hants skipper misses a sweep.

    He connects with the fourth delivery sweeping to midwicket for four.

  12. Change of ball

    Yorks 354-9 (lead Somerset by 242 runs)

    Slight delay at Taunton as the ball, which is 23 overs old, is being replaced.

    Jhye Richardson is 42 not out, Jack White has faced 21 balls without scoring.

    There are six overs remaining in the day.

  13. Sussex 61-3 (trail Surrey by 203 runs)

    Into the last five overs of the day at The Oval. A day that Sussex won't want to remember.

  14. 'Aldridge luck runs out'

    Durham 495-8 v Middlesex, lead by 65

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    He has had a bit of luck this afternoon, but it has finally run out and Kasey Aldridge has fallen lbw to Ryan Higgins for 99!

    He was dropped by the keeper on 41, following an edge off a Zafar Gohar delivery. He should have been run out on 87, but bowler Joshua De Caires missed the target with him in no man's land.

    Higgins almost bowled him the ball before he was out. Had he got there it would have been his third century in first-class cricket.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Aldridge lbw b Higgins 99 (Middlesex 430 v Durham 495-8)

    Out for 99!

    Kasey Aldridge is smacked on the pads by Ryan Higgins and up goes the finger.

    Martin Emmerson has more...

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Middleton lbw b Crane 23 (Hants 105-5 f/o trail by 217 runs)

    Mason Crane gets his first of the second innings.

    This is either the top spinner or googly but either way it goes straight on and, although Fletcha Middleton has got a good stride in, there was no doubting that was hitting.

    Hants are struggling with Crane who took 3-31 in the first knock but they are also struggling with Timm van der Gugten.

    More generally, they are struggling to stay in this contest.

  17. Yorks 352-9 (lead Somerset by 240 runs)

    Andy in France (see 17:48) predicted a lead of 250 would make Yorkshire favourites.

    They are only 10 runs short of that at present.

    Josh Thomas is back on to bowl, conceding six runs off his three overs previously.

  18. Close of play at Grace Road

    Leics 308 & 213-7 f/o v Notts 490

    Tom Scriven pushes for two on the final ball of the day from Olly Stone and Leicestershire finish day three leading by 33 runs but very much on the back foot.

    Notts bowled very well with Stone 3-34 as did Lyndon James who removed both openers taking 2-34. The spin of Liam Patterson-White proved telling as well.

    His dismissal of the well-set Jonny Tattersall (61) in the penultimate over of the day could be the crucial wicket. Certainly it deflated the hosts just when they were straining for the finish line.

    Notts will have to pad up and bat again but with just three wickets to get they are on target for a second win of the campaign.

  19. Sussex 60-3 (trail Surrey by 204 runs)

    Brilliant fielding from Ryan Patel, who needs to put in two separate dives to prevent a John Simpson shot from reaching the boundary.

    All that effort and it saves one run. Hard to imagine that being crucial come this time tomorrow, but you never know.

  20. Sussex 56-3 (trail Surrey by 208 runs)

    Dan Lawrence bowling, and Daniel Hughes tickles one round the corner for a boundary.

    Hughes is on 29. A leg slip goes in.
