Lancashire 19-2 v Glos - target 248
Will Williams strikes again versus his former club!
A seventh of the match after his 6-24 yesterday and it's typical Williams.
He has given little away so far and he's on the money again and Harry Singh gets twitchy and edges it to the slip cordon, where Miles Hammond gobbles it up at third.
The Lancashire innings is getting a familiar feel to it.
Sussex 393 v Surrey 73-3
A neat checked drive from Ryan Patel off Ari Karvelas sends the ball skimming through wide mid off for four runs.
Lunch will be taken at the slightly later time of 12.40 as we have extended sessions of play today.
Now Jack Carson is on to bowl some off spin.
Ben Foakes works the ball around the corner for one.
There is some turn for Carson away from the left-handed Patel, who nonetheless sees out the over with Foakes.
Durham 252 & 322-5 v Middlesex 203
The wicket of Ben McKinney is followed by the exit of all the players from the field for a slightly early lunch.
McKinney's 184 has been the highlight of a morning in which Durham have smoothly added 118 for the loss of three wickets.
The lead now is 371, so the big question is when the hosts decide they have enough runs on the board before sending Middlesex in.
Nottinghamshire 377 & 18-2 v Hampshire 304
Title-chasing Notts collected maximum bowling points - but it may be Hampshire who are the happier side as they tuck into lunch at Trent Bridge.
The visitors only added 37 to their overnight 267-7 as Jake Lehmann ran out of partners on 133 not out - Dillon Pennington taking two of the three wickets to fall.
Leading by 73 on first innings, Notts then lost Haseeb Hameed and Freddie McCann in the nine overs they had to face before lunch.
Both fell to promising paceman Eddie Jack, who has 2-9.
Yorkshire 390 v Essex 171 & 14-2 f/o
Paul Walter sees out the latest Kuldeep over, playing the left arm wrist spinner safely into the leg side.
Charlie Allison has been off strike since he came in but now he will face George Hill.
Allison gets a thick inside edge past his stumps and down to long leg for a single.
Walter is drawn forward into a play and miss. And again.
Hill is a nightmare for Essex here today.
McKinney c Holden b Hollman 184 (Durham 252 & 322-5 v Middlesex 203)
What a shame, Ben McKinney can't push on to his double hundred.
He goes for a big shot off the spin of Luke Hollman, but the ball goes more offside than he was looking for and stand-in Middlesex captain Max Holden takes the catch.
It's a marvellous knock off 250 balls with 23 fours and a six that has surely batted Durham into a position where they certainly cannot lose.
The 21-year-old has once again demonstrated why he is so highly regarded.
Andersson lbw Singh 50 (Derbys 200-5 & 300 v Kent 219)
The commentator's curse. Martin Andersson, three balls after bringing up his half-century, is trapped in front by Ekansh Singh and the umpire obliges.
That is, in fact, lunch and Derbyshire lead at the interval by 281 with five second innings wickets in hand.
R Patel c Overton b Gregory 2 (Leicestershire 4-1 v Somerset, target 523)
Breakthrough for Somerset before lunch!
Captain Lewis Gregory has the new ball and does the early damage. His length ball, outside of off, proves too tempting for Rishi Patel, who pushes at it and finds the hands of Craig Overton at third slip.
Derbys 200-4 & 300 v Kent 219
A fifth half-century for Martin Andersson of the County Championship season - this has been a dynamic innings, including six fours and one six.
Interestingly, as is pointed out on comms, in three of his previous four fifties this season, Andersson has gone on to reach three figures.
In the same innings, Derbyshire bring up 200.
Sussex 393 v Surrey 65-3
A slip and a silly mid off for James Coles and Ben Foakes plays the ball through mid wicket for two.
A single is steered to backward. Ryan Patel is back and across to a short ball, cutting through extra cover for three.
Durham 252 & 321-4 v Middlesex 203
Durham lead by 370 as this game ticks towards lunch on day three and this stand between Ben McKinney and Colin Ackermann is now worth 68.
McCann c Lumsden b Jack 4 (Notts 377 & 17-2 v Hants 304)
"If that was a plan, it's worked beautifully," says commentator Mel Farrell.
Eddie Jack angles a short one across Freddie McCann, who uppercuts over the slips for four.
Undeterred, the Hampshire paceman repeats it next ball and this time McCann picks out 17-year-old Manny Lumsden who takes a fine catch.
The Notts batter cannot believe what he has done.

An appeal for caught behind is turned down and Tom Westley survives facing George Hill. Pad only perhaps.
A shorter ball is dropped into the off side for no run.
Out! Tom Westley has missed playing across the line in front of the stumps.
Hill has two and Essex remain 206 behind.
Charlie Allison is in.

Henry Nicholls is proving to be a great signing for Somerset. A previously frail top five are now all in great form at the most crucial time of the season. Maybe this could finally be the year?
Nick, Eastleigh
Lancashire 5-1 v Glos - target 248
It really should be 4-2 and two wickets in two balls for JT Langridge!
The left-armer sends one across new batter Harry Singh, who goes for the drive and gets a massive edge.
It flies into the slip cordon where Ollie Price goes for it from second but he can't hang on.
It was a very catchable height and it may have been Ed Middleton's at first, but it is a big reprieve for Singh.
Sussex 393 v Surrey 57-3
Left arm spinner James Coles is bowling for the first time in the match.
One slip in - and there's a hint of turn as Ben Foakes plays into the off side, getting right to the pitch of the ball.
Ryan Patel is almost cut in half by Jaydev Unadkat in the next over as the ball is over the stumps and through him.
Hurst b Langridge 0 (Lancs 4-1 - target 248)
Image source, ShutterstockWhat a delivery this is!
JT Langridge, complete with his headband, with an absolute pearler to dismiss makeshift opener Matty Hurst.
It's an unplayable leg-stump yorker from the left-armer that wipes out the stumps with Hurst unable to stop it.
Mitchell Starc or Wasim Akram would have been proud of that ball!
Waite lbw Chahal 3 (Worcs 200 & 123-6 v Northants 289)
Northants turn to spin with just a few minutes to go before lunch and what a shrewd move it is by Luke Procter as Yuzi Chahal hits Matthew Waite on the toe of his boot as he plays down the wrong line and his appeal is upheld by the umpire.
Brett D'Oliveira is 45 not out, but badly needs someone to stay with him as Worcestershire look to stretch a lead which is currently only 34.
Elgar c Bairstow b Hill 4 - Yorkshire 390 v Essex 171 & 13-1 f/o
Has he nicked that? Yes.
A good low catch by keeper-captain Jonny Bairstow and George Hill has struck early.
Dean Elgar had been looking to defend with a little gap between bat and pad.
The opener stands his ground - but the umpire has given it.
Essex captain Tom Wesley to bat next.
