  1. 50 runs

    for Charlie Allison

    Somerset v Essex 212-3 - trail by 99

    There's that Charlie Allison reverse sweep again and for the third time it brings him four off Archie Vaughan.

    A more elegant approach next ball as he steps down the pitch and drives to the long-off boundary.

    Allison's 50 arrives from 88 balls as he unfurls the reverse for the second time in the over and once again it brings him four.

    It's risky - but highly entertaining.

  2. Surrey 1-0 v Notts (Target: 329)

    We are underway in the fourth innings of this intriguing match, and Surrey's chase.

    Brett Hutton is tight with the ball in his opening over, from which Rory Burns took a single.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Milnes lbw b Higgins 6 (Middlesex v Kent 204-8 - lead by 305)

    Ryan Higgins hits Matt Milnes on the pads and pleads for an LBW and he is rewarded!

    Milnes had moved across his stumps a touch and that probably does for him.

    Kent have lost 4-13 and hopes of a 350-run lead are fading fast.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Will Rhodes

    Derbyshire v Durham 136-1 - lead by 263

    Will Rhodes turns one into the legside for a couple and that brings up his 50.

    The 31-year-old left-hander raises his bat for a half-century that has come off 92 balls as his side have taken complete control of this one.

  5. Somerset v Essex 197-3 - trail by 114

    James Rew is having a difficult day behind the stumps.

    Archie Vaughan finds turn and bounce and Rew is unable to take the ball up by his left shoulder - a couple of byes for Essex.

  6. Warks 17-1 v Sussex - target 203

    Slightly too full from Jaydev Unadkat and that's a stylish cover drive from Zen Malik, which brings him four runs.

    Dan Mousley is his new partner following the dismissal of Rob Yates.

  7. Durham lead by over 250

    Derbyshire v Durham 125-1 - lead by 252

    A crunching pull shot through mid-wicket by Will Rhodes sees him move on to 47 not out and Durham's lead move past the 250-mark.

    Rhodes' partnership with Ben McKinney is now worth 125 after Alex Lees was dismissed with the first ball of the innings.

  8. Yorkshire lead by 250

    Hants v Yorkshire 275-8 - lead by 251

    George Hill squeezes one through mid-wicket for two and that sees Yorkshire's lead move on to 250.

    A single in the following over by Dom Bess means the ninth-wicket partnership is now worth 50.

  9. 6 runs

    Somerset v Essex 193-3 - trail by 118

    Fearless stuff from Charlie Allison, who takes a couple of paces forward and hits Jack Leach straight down the ground for a maximum.

    There is a short delay while the ball is retrieved and the next one forces Allison to defend.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Patel c Toole b Crane 1 (Leicestershire 216-9 v Glamorgan - lead by 215)

    Another wicket for Glamorgan, who now only need one more to bat again.

    Ajaz Patel looks to go big when taking on Mason Crane's leg spin, but his leading edge simply pops up to Ray Toole.

    This game, with Leicestershire's current lead as it is, feels as though it is in the balance.

  11. Derbyshire v Durham 117-1 (lead by 244)

    Shoaib Bashir is into his fourth over for Durham, currently on figures of 0-10.

    With Durham going at a rate of just under four-an-over, Ben McKinney has moved onto 66 not out while Will Rhodes is seven runs short of his half-century with the pair looking perfectly set.

    If the visitors keep this up, a Durham declaration may be on the cards in the final session of the day you feel.

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Ricardo Vasconcelos

    Lancashire v Northants 75-0 - lead by 222

    A crisp punch through the covers gets three runs for Ricardo Vasconcelos as he runs hard and that is an ultra-positive half-century.

    It's come off 48 balls and it's his first of the season. Although every time he has reached 50 this season, he has gone on to three figures.

    You would not bet against this becoming century number four.

  13. wicket

    NOTTS ALL OUT FOR 306

    Hutton lbw b Lawes 14 (Surrey v Notts 306 all out - lead by 328)

    Excellent ball by Tom Lawes, who picks up his first wicket of the innings - with its final ball.

    He traps Brett Hutton plum in front for 14 and Notts now will have a go at defending 328.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Yates b Hunt 7 (Warks 11-1 - target 203)

    Sean HuntShutterstock

    Now then.

    Like James Coles earlier in the day, Rob Yates steps across his stumps and is bowled behind his legs by Sean Hunt as he tries to glance the ball fine.

    Error of judgement - and early encouragement for Sussex.

  15. Somerset v Essex 185-3 - trail by 126

    Good composure by Archie Vaughan, who sends down a maiden to Matt Critchley after being on the receiving end of some recent punishment from both Essex batters.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Dudgeon c du Plooy b Higgins 1 (Middlesex v Kent 196-7 - lead by 297)

    Keith Dudgeon falls going for an almighty heave.

    Ryan Higgins strikes with the first ball of a new spell but Middlesex probably could have done with this quick fall of wickets in the morning session as Kent's lead inches close to 300.

  17. Hants v Yorkshire 272-8 - lead by 248

    Big lbw shout from Felix Organ but that one looked like it hit George Hill outside the line of off-stump.

    Hill then tucks a single with the final ball of the over into a vacant square leg to keep the strike.

  18. Warks 11-0 v Sussex - target 203

    Easy runs for Zen Malik as left-armer Sean Hunt strays onto leg stump and he flicks it away square for four. No major alarms for the Bears openers so far.

  19. 50 runs

    50 partnership

    Lancashire v Northants 61-0 - lead by 208

    Ricardo Vasconcelos is leading the charge for Northants with 40 from 42 balls.

    Luke Procter is playing the anchor role at the other end and the visitors look in the mood to set up a declaration tonight, now ahead by over 200.

    Lancashire look a team bereft of confidence.

  20. 300 runs

    300 up for Notts

    Notts 305-9 v Surrey (Notts lead by 327)

    At 257-4, Surrey would have taken this scenario.

    That said, Notts ten and eleven Brett Hutton and Dillon Pennington are proving irritatingly tricky to remove at the moment.

    The pair have added a very useful 29 for the tenth wicket - and among those some shots which Notts' openers would be proud of.

    Hutton has just driven Dan Worrall beautifully through extra cover with the technique of a top order player.
