A punch off the back foot to point by Daniel Bell-Drummond for four off George Balderson seals the win for Kent.

For the time being at least Kent move into second place.

Eyes will now no doubt be on the game at Wantage Road, where Northants need a win against Derbyshire to take the second promotion place back.

Host captain Daniel Bell-Drummond settles the chase with successive boundaries to finish on 19 not out.

Sam Northeast is unbeaten on 48 - and the only wicket to fall today was Tawanda Muyeye, who played his part in the chase before being pinned LBW by Tom Bailey for 43.

Lancashire remain second from bottom going into the final round at home to division leaders Durham.

The sun is shining brightly at Headingley and Dom Bess picks up where he left off before lunch.

Jake Ball serves up a half-volley outside off and Bess pushes through the covers for four.

Somerset then go up, convinced that Ball has trapped Bess in front but it might be sliding down.

Yorkshire have matched their first innings total with four wickets in hand.

Mason Crane hits a single and then Timm van der Gugten clips the next ball from Auqib Nabi to the boundary.

The eighth wicket pair have taken their stand to 46 and Glamorgan's lead to 440.

Away we go again at Headingley after lunch.

Can Somerset find the breakthrough they so desperately need to limit the target they will have to chase to keep the title in their own hands?

Or will George Hill and Dom Bess continue to add to their 154-run partnership and build a potentially insurmountable lead?

Yorkshire are already 219 ahead and Somerset still need four wickets.

Big session incoming.

Despite disheartening news overnight, Leicestershire will be happy with that performance in the morning session.

They've taken four wickets, and Ian Holland and Ben Green bowled beautifully with the new ball, getting the ball to seam and move around on a pitch that has rediscovered its life.

The issue, perhaps, is that they didn't quite have the firepower to back up that solid opening spell.

Hampshire added just 61 runs in 29 overs, which is pretty slow-going. They'll hope to get beyond 300 - a real psychological barrier for Leicestershire in their chase, and push on from there.

There is plenty of time for a chase, mind.

Six to win. Daniel Bell-Drummond faces George Balderson.

One hit will do it.

The second ball is cut to point for four. Two to win.

Still 10 needed to win with a theoretical 10 minutes till lunch.

Are we going to lunch? No.

We're finally getting somewhere in this one after going without any cricket so far today.

The umpires have inspected the pitch and play will begin at 13:30 BST at Hove, providing there is no further rain in the meantime.

Kent need 13. Lunch at 13:00 BST as it stands but would that change if Kent got to within a run or two by then?

Scott Currie is yet to get off the mark after 13 deliveries - though it would be fair to say conditions are easing ever so slightly.

Mitch Stanley will have his first spell of the day, bowling in place of Tom Bailey and the first ball is guided to deep third by Sam Northeast for four runs.
