Malik c Cook b Critchley 51 (Warwickshire 106-2 – target 133)
100 up for Warwickshirepublished at 17:29 BST
Warwickshire 102-1 – target 133
What could have been a tricky run-chase for the Bears has become a very straightforward one.
When they came in we weren't sure that they would have time to finish the game off tonight but a fast start has given them that opportunity.

Compton b Bailey 5 (Kent 10-1 - target 140)
Just the start Lancashire would have wanted. Just the start Kent would not have wanted.
It's an excellent delivery by Tom Bailey to beat Ben Compton's bat and the Kent opener is clean bowled for just five runs.

Durham 465 v Worcs 252-3
A first batting point for Worcestershire as Brett D'Oliveira steers Ben Raine to backward point for four runs.
He has 70 not out and Adam Hose has 81. Another 64 needed to ensure they do not have to follow in.

I think that image sums up Zen Malik's approach to this run-chase.
He's hit four sixes and three fours in his run-a-ball 50.

Kent 10-0 - target 140
And now Zak Crawley has his first boundary of the second innings for Kent.
He punches a lovely drive through mid-off for four off his former England team-mate Jimmy Anderson. Crawley made a crucial 84 in the first innings for Kent.
What the home side would give for him to do the same again here.

Lehmann c Cox b Patel 23 - Leicestershire 244 v Hampshire 224 & 245-3
Leicestershire strike late in the session on Day Two and that's a deserved wicket for Ajaz Patel, now into his 24th over of accurate left-arm spin bowling.
Jake Lehmann is back to cut a slightly wide ball anchored to the crease and feathers the ball to the keeper.
Manny Lumsden has the night-watch gig and he bats next with up to 10 balls left in the day's play.

That was no fluke. That’s a genuine fast bowlers’ wicket. Everyone around the ground is delighted about that. Four balls was all it took.

Kent 6-0 - target 140
Ben Compton picks up the first boundary of the Kent run chase, driving Tom Bailey straight down the ground for four.
Compton then leaves the final ball of the over but it's bending in sharply from Bailey and doesn't miss the off stump by all too much.

Leicestershire 244 v Hampshire 224 & 245-2
Nick Gubbins trades singles with Jake Lehmann off the bowling of Nathan Gilchrist.
The third ball is worked away to the leg side for two.
A flowing Gubbins drive is half stopped at cover and the Hampshire pair run one.
Lehmann pulls a short one square for one more. Hampshire looking comfortable going into the final two overs of Day Two.

Glos 242-7 v Middx 326
Daz Ahmed and Sai Kishore are really enjoying themselves now.
Ahmed is the latest to clear the boundary, hammering Luke Hollman straight down the ground, and so confident is he that it will carry all the way, he is facing back towards his own stumps by the time it lands.

Yates c Critchley b Auld 33 (Warwickshire 82-1 – target 133)
Well that's how you do it!
Jack Auld takes a wicket with his fourth ball in first class cricket!
A rare bright spot for Essex in this dominant Warwickshire run chase and what a lovely moment for the teenager.

Kent 2-0 - target 140
A single apiece from Jimmy Anderson's first over for Zak Crawley and Ben Compton.
In comes Tom Bailey for the second over of the innings.

Yorkshire 212 & 87-6 v Somerset 201
This has been a crucial stand between George Hill and Dom Bess from the depths of 54-6.
Hill runs a ball from Migael Pretorius to point for one.
The stand is worth 33 and the lead is 98.

150 stand from Hose and D'Oliveirapublished at 17:18 BST
Durham 465 v Worcestershire 243-3
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio Newcastle
Adam Hose and Brett D'Oliveira have now put on 153 runs in 265 balls for Worcestershire.
Hose was dropped on none in the slips and it's proven costly. He has 78 and D'Oliveira 64. Ben McKinney put the catch down off the bowling of Ben Stokes.
Stokes has been flogging his guts out this afternoon, banging it in, aggressive over after aggressive over, but he's drawn a blank and must now be due a break. He's now bowling his 10th over of the spell.
It's all adding up to a frustrating afternoon for Durham, who are not used to this sort of resistance at the moment, especially since so many opponents have folded cheaply in the last six weeks!
Teenage debutant Auld comes on to bowlpublished at 17:18 BST
Warwickshire 82-0 – target 133
The first thing the home supporters have had to cheer for a long while as teenager Jack Auld is brought on to bowl for Essex for the first time.
It's a nice reception for the 17-year-old.

WICKETpublished at 17:17 BST
Simpson b Hutton 34 (Sussex 258-6 v Notts 240)
Notts pick up their second bowling point.
Brett Hutton is struggling with a bit of a niggle but he's still got enough energy to send John Simpson's off stump flying.
Simpson goes for 34 and Notts need four more wickets, with Sussex's lead already 18 runs.

Leicestershire 244 v Hampshire 224 & 237-2
Four runs to Nick Gubbins - who is across to Nathan Gilchrist for a short-arm jab through mid-wicket.
Skillful batting from the Hampshire opener.
Four overs left tonight and Leicestershire looking a little short of inpsiration at this point.
