And that's day two done and dusted.

We'll be back on Friday from 10:45 BST with coverage from all nine matches, including Surrey's chase of 185 to beat Yorkshire.

Thanks for joining!

Max Holden belts the penultimate ball of the day from Ben Walkden for a glorious cover drive for four to bring up his half century.

It has taken just 44 balls, and contained nine fours in 56 minutes. It is an hour's work that has ripped hope from Lancs who would have felt in the game at the halfway mark.

Not so much now with their hosts leading by 212 with eight wickets remaining. A thrash in the morning could see them over 300 and gone.

A potentially pivotal moment of the day has come right at the end.

Sheridon Gumbs bowled by Dillon Pennington. At the end of the previous over Josh Hull, as nightwatchman, left the last ball - when perhaps he could have looked for the single to protect the established batter.

They have lost two overs in a tricky late session, and they are right up against it ahead of day three.

Today has been each team's season in microcosm. Nottinghamshire, as my colleague Dave Bracgirlde pointed out "always have a batsman who steps up". Today they had two when their team were in deep do-do, and Jack Haynes and Liam Patterson White deserve huge credit for their counter-attacking and bold batting.

For Leicestershire, they themselves have admitted they can have one session a game that is an abberation. I fear the evening session tonight - which started with a part-time off spinner racing through overs, to get to the new ball, and catch up with the over rate - started off such a session.

The two aforementioned batters cashed in, and never looked back. The Foxes are now in trouble.

Three fours in the over from Ben Geddes off Ben Walkden and the Middx lead is 198 with eight wickets remaining.

Lancs bowlers are tired now and it is no wonder as this has been a long day but they continue to bowl too many four balls.

That is now 15 in the 21 overs bowled and just 12 of them not containing a boundary.

The match is slipping away from the visitors with three overs of the second day left to come.

Unsurprisingly they didn't get back on after a bonkers day at The Oval.

27 wickets fell, all four innings were seen during the day and Surrey find themselves having to exactly match Yorkshire's first innings total of 185 to win.

There'll be lots of focus on the green pitch but it should be noted that some of the batting was shocking and, more positively, some of the bowling was excellent.

After wrapping up Yorkshire's first innings Surrey lasted just 30 overs with Ollie Pope top scoring on 21.

But Yorkshire's second innings didn't even get that far ending in the 29th over. England's Matthew Fisher made a career best 6-25 to give him 8 in the match,

Rory Burns and Dom Sibley are looking to reverse the trend and have Surrey on their way in the run chase.

A great day's cricket comes to an end at Trent Bridge.

Leicestershire were the happier of the two following the morning session, after an excellent spell of bowling between Josh Davey and Ian Holland (with assistance from Josh Hull) saw three of Nottinghamshire's top order dismissed.

However the Leicestershire bowling attack failed to put the foot on the throat, and lacked consistency in the afternoon session.

Notts then dominated, as centurions Jack Haynes (159) and Liam Patterson-White (111) constructed a colossal partnership of 257 for the sixth wicket.

Notts collected their full allocation of batting points before declaring on 451.

Both the Leicestershire openers were then dismissed in the 12.3 overs of play managed in the second innings.

Olly Stone and Brett Hutton bowled nicely up top, but it was Dillion Pennington who came on first-change who took two wickets with two excellent deliveries.

Nottinghamshire will certainly be up for this heading into the final two days.

Warwickshire can do nothing about the fact their title rivals are going well elsewhere.

It's been a great day for the Bears who built an impressive first innings total with Rob Yates scoring his first century of the season, Sam Hain narrowly missing out on three figures and Kai Smith getting a half century.

This against some decent bowling notably from Kyle Abbott who's four wickets take him to 53 for the season, and top of the first division charts.

Spinner Andrew Neal got three and would have had more if Hampshire hadn't spilled chances and that was a warning for their batters who've had to face India test bowler Manav Suthar.

He had two wickets by the close as had Olly Hannon-Dalby.

Jack Leach nearly had Asa Tribe caught with the first ball of the final over only for the edge to fall just short of second slip.

But he gets his man at the end of it with Mason Crane brilliantly caught close to the bat by Tom Lammonby.

Even before that showstopper this has been a day Somerset have bossed and it has teed up a match that the title-chasing Cidermen could yet wrap up by an innings and runs if all goes according to plan.

The only thing that didn't quite go their way was a fifth batting bonus point. Who knows whether that will come back to haunt them at the end of the season given how tight things are with Notts and Warks.

Lammonby's 95 remains the high score of the match so far yet his innings will go down in dressing room folklore after he was twice out only to be twice reprieved in his 90s by no balls.

The first of them was signalled by the square leg umpire after Glam allowed their deep square leg to drift backward of square.

The second was an overstep from Dan Douthwaite as Lammonby edged behind. Lammonby failed to take advantage falling for 95 shortly after.

A good day for Derbyshire ends in Bristol.

Gloucestershire showed some defiance in their batting, James Bracey scoring 113 to get his side from 62-5 to 237, whilst kiwi overseas Brett Randall took 5-41 for Derbyshire.

The away side will return on Day 3 in the driving seat after Yousaf Bin Naeem made an excellent 71, and Matthew Montgomery is 40 not out overnight. They trail 124.

The umpires take the players off for bad light as a black cloud comes over the ground.

Yorkshire may be relieved as Rory Burns and Dom Sibley were threatening to build a significant partnership in a very low scoring game.

That could be it for the day even though there were 15 overs left.

Nottinghamshire are wicketless so far at Trent Bridge after eight overs.

Brett Hutton and Olly Stone have bowled nicely, the latter bowling an aggressive line and length with four slips in play, but the Leicestershire openers have remained watchful and disciplined so far.

Dillion Pennington will now replace Hutton at the Stuart Broad end.
