Sussex 393 v Surrey 50-3
Ben Foakes is half forward to Tom Haines, defending into the off side.
The third ball of the over is clipped square and Foakes is off the mark to his fourth ball.
That's also the Surrey 50 in the 24th over. It's been a tough shift with the bat this morning.
Notts 377 & 12-0 v Hants 304
Melinda Farrell
Sports broadcaster/journalist
"Hampshire have some of the most exciting fast bowling talent in the country."
Durham 252 & 304-4 v Middlesex 203
That is a thumping way to bring up Durham's 300 as Ben McKinney emphatically pulls out a reverse sweep to Zafar Gofar to send it to the rope at point.
Durham's lead ticks past 350 as well, although they are not in full-on declaration mode yet.
Colin Ackermann has 21 from 47 balls and Middlesex's bowling has been tighter in the second half of the morning.
Yorkshire 390 v Essex 171 & 9-0 f/o
Another play and miss from Dean Elgar, facing the ever dangerous George Hill. Elgar survives.
Paul Walter punches a ball from Jack White into the off side but there's no run.
A straight ball is whipped square and well stopped by Matthew Revis.
There's no stopping this delightful drive down the ground though.
Four runs.
Somerset 316-5d & 363 v Leicestershire 157
Somerset waited until Henry Nicholls had brought up his century, in 112 balls, and they have now declared on 316-5.
They will now have a go at Leicestershire's top order before lunch. The hosts are chasing a modest 523 for victory.
Somerset 310-5 & 363 v Leicestershire 157
That is Henry Nicholls' century!
There has been some brutal hitting this morning from the New Zealander, but also some classy shots, too. Nathan Gilchrist bowls a wide ball outside of off and Nicholls helps it on its way to the point boundary.
Pope b Haines 2 - Sussex 393 v Surrey 47-3
Ollie Pope had been playing solidly into the off side without quite managing to get the ball away - and now he's the third wicket to fall this morning.
He's forward to Tom Haines to defend and the ball has crept past him to clip the top of off stump. Ben Foakes is in.
Lancashire 0-0 v Glos - target 248
Keaton Jennings and Matty Hurst are out in the middle to begin the fourth innings of this match.
Jennings is going to face on-loan Somerset bowler and left-armer JT Langridge first up.
Yorkshire 390 v Essex 171 & 4-0 f/o
No runs forthcoming for Essex - who are very much in survival mode at this stage.
Three successive Yorkshire maidens.
Jack White is into his second over from the Howard Stand End with three slips in place.
Runs for Dean Elgar with a thick outside edge on the drive between the slips and point for four.
Somerset 310-5 & 363 v Leicestershire 157
As Henry Nicholls lifts yet another six, we have a ball change.
Nicholls is now on 96.
Why are Somerset not prioritising first ever CC title over Henry Nicholls' 24th FC century? Mind-boggling...
Max, Kent
Notts 377 & 6-0 v Hants 304
Pressure on the Notts batters now.
A lead of 73 means they need to bat positively to give their bowlers enough time to bowl Hampshire out a second time.
Ben Slater has been passed fit to bat despite the blow on the arm from Eddie Jack that he suffered in the first innings and prevented him fielding this morning.
"It's just interesting that (Jake) Lehmann is off the field after batting for quite a while," says BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James.
Somerset 310-5 & 363 v Leicestershire 157
Somerset have not hung around this morning, which was perhaps to be expected.
Even now, with a handsome lead of 516, they are still looking to score off every ball.
They have added 144 runs from 22 overs this morning.
Cullen c Harrison b Sanderson 19 (Worcs 200 & 112-5 v Northants 289)
Danger signals now for Worcestershire as Henry Cullen drives at a ball from Ben Sanderson and is caught by Calvin Harrison at second slip.
The Pears are just 23 ahead with half of their wickets gone.
Sussex 393 v Surrey 46-2
A silly mid on is in play for Tom Haines, bowling to Ryan Patel - who carefully steers the ball defensively into the on side.
Just a couple of runs from that over as Surrey look to rebuild after losing both openers inside 19 overs this morning.
Jaydev Unadkat is back in the Sussex attack at the other end.
Leicestershire 157 v Somerset 363 & 293-5

BBC Radio Leicester commentator
Image source, Rex FeaturesOur dog intruder really summed up the experience we've had so far. If you missed it - a wonderful husky came on to the field, ran around for a while before being collared by a steward after a vain attempt by Ben Mike.
Leicestershire have bowled some pretty unthreatening stuff, sticking with spinners for most of the morning and allowing Tom Abell, James Rew and most notably, Henry Nicholls to plunder runs.
They have been running the ball to the boundary, with the Foxes unable to get a grip on the game (see what I did there?).
You imagine Somerset will bat until maybe half an hour before lunch, and then get at the Foxes, who are on the ropes.
Yorkshire 390 v Essex 171 & 0-0 f/o
Great ball from Jack White, nipping away from Dean Elgar on an immaculate line and length.
Maiden over.
Worcs 200 & 109-4 v Northants 289
Too full from James Sales and Henry Cullen punches it away past mid-off for four runs.
Worcestershire now21 ahead and Cullen has 18 from 14 balls. A positive start by him.
Burns c Leaning b Hunt 24 - Sussex 393 v Surrey 44-2
Two slips in for Sean Hunt - but they can't do anything about this shot from Rory Burns who leans into a crunching drive through cover for four runs.
The Surrey captain is on 24.
24 and out! Squared up and edging low to second slip!
Great low catch by a tumbling Jack Leaning.
Ollie Pope - who replaced Josh Blake in this game, will bat next.
Lancashire 134 v Glos 212 & 169 all out
Image source, ShutterstockLast pair JT Langridge and Matt Taylor looked set for a bit of fun as Langridge lofted Noman Ali for four and then Taylor edged Mitch Stanley between wicketkeeper and a wide first slip for another boundary.
But Stanley ends the innings with a sharp bouncing delivery that takes Taylor's edge, but it is well caught diving forward by Harry Singh at a wide third-slip area.
Taylor departs for a super 31 off 93 balls and he has helped add 83 for the last two wickets, both of which have fallen to Stanley who ends with 3-31.
Lancashire will need 248 in the final innings to win - it would be the highest score of the match.
Durham 252 & 284-4 v Middlesex 203

BBC Radio Newcastle
We have just been treated to the sight of Graham Onions doing a spot of square leg umpiring, while Sue Redfern left the field for a quick break.
She's back now and he's received a standing ovation following his one over of officialdom.
Durham continue to build a big lead here, knowing victory this week will see them promoted.
Ben McKinney has 164 from 212 balls. Earlier this year he made 244 at Bristol and became the youngest double centurion at the club - at the age of 21 and 188 days.
I magine Durham will declare either around lunchtime, or early afternoon and back themselves to run through Middlesex today.
