    Now I'm not saying I'm biased but can the rain delay things again and again at Wantage Road until Glos have 150-ish to defend & 30 overs to bowl at Northants? Thanks.

    Em, Newcastle & Bristol

    Northants 465 v Glos 268 & 266-7

    So close.

    Liam Guthrie finds the inside edge of Daz Ahmed's bat and the ball just misses the stumps and brings the Gloucestershire batter a single.

    Harry Conway to steam in from the opposite end.

    Re Nigel. Derby and Gregory query. Unfortunately for Somerset Jake Ball was the only available option so a bowler averaging 30 in first class cricket replaced one who averages 25 but hopefully Somerset can cope with the downgrade.

    Rob, Warwick

    For those who are unaware, Somerset captain and all-rounder Lewis Gregory picked up an injury and was replaced by Jake Ball, who has taken two wickets in this Notts second innings.

    Northants 465 v Glos 268 & 265-7

    That's enough hanging around.

    The teams belatedly take the field with Gloucestershire 67 ahead.

    Liam Guthrie to bowl and James Bracey clips the day's first run down to fine leg.

    Notts 95-7 v Somerset - target 473

    Jack Haynes is batting nicely for Notts amid the chaos that is unfolding around him.

    Another lovely cover drive from Haynes, pushing to the boundary for four from Jake Ball.

    Haynes moves to 23 from 42 balls.

    Leicestershire 187 & 375-8 v Essex 401

    Josh Davey has been watchful since joining Lewis Hill at the crease.

    He survives a good-looking lbw shout from Simon Harmer in the first ball of the over and then he ruthlessly lifts the spinner straight back over his own head for a maximum.

    A penny for Harmer's thoughts.

    WICKETpublished at 12:12 BST

    Bamber c White b Ali 23 (Warks 263 & 93-4 v Yorks 469 & 246-6 dec)

    Great catch from Jack White who holds on, tumbling close to the rope.

    He stays inside the boundary to take the pulled shot from night watcher Ethan Bamber.

    Six more needed for Yorkshire.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12:09 BST

    Patterson-White c Overton b Pretorius 4 (Notts 87-7 v Somerset - target 473)

    Nottinghamshire are crumbling. Somerset are closing in on a famous win.

    Migael Pretorius lures Liam Patterson-White into a drive but it's just got enough away movement to find the outside edge.

    It flies to Craig Overton at second slip who makes the catch look far easier than it was.

    50 for Allisonpublished at 12:08 BST

    Worcs 265 & 96-2 v Middx 339 & 283-6

    Worcestershire do bat a long way down and night watcher Ben Allison has been excellent.

    He did survive a regulation slip chance but he's prospered since, reaching the fifth first class half century of his career.

    The home crowd are beginning to believe in something special here.

  10. Postpublished at 12:06 BST

    Notts 87-6 v Somerset - target 473

    Jack Haynes goes hard outside off stump from Alfie Ogborne to smash an aerial cut up and over the infield and away for four.

    Warks 263 & 89-3 v Yorks 469 & 246-6

    It's calmed down a bit at Scarborough.

    Yorkshire knew they would have to be patient and they remain on course despite resistance from Bamber and Hain.

    Shame about the central contracts, depriving the die hard county fans the chance to see Test players in the middle of the season.

    Harry, Rugby

    There's a Rew dynasty emerging at Somerset! But, shhhh! Whisper it quietly... we don't want to lose them to an England series!

  13. 6 runs

    for Ben Allisonpublished at 12:03 BST

    Worcs 265 & 94-2 v Middx 339 & 283-6 dec

    This is getting ridiculous.

    Ben Allison has pulled two successive short deliveries from Tom Helm for sixes.

  14. Postpublished at 12:00 BST

    Notts 83-6 v Somerset - target 473

    Some light in the dark for Notts as Liam Patterson-White gets off the mark in style by slapping Migael Pretorius for four to the cover boundary.

    Short and wide, gets the treatment.

  15. Good news at Wantage Roadpublished at 11:59 BST

    Northants 465 v Glos 268 & 264-7

    The final cover is now being removed and the umpires have decided that play can begin at 12:15 BST.

    A frustrating 75-minute delay for Northants, who will be looking to pick up these three remaining Gloucestershire wickets quickly and begin what should be a comfortable fourth-innings chase.

    The visitors are 67 in front and, as we mentioned earlier, James Bracey and Daz Ahmed are the not out batsmen.

  16. Postpublished at 11:59 BST

    Notts 79-6 v Somerset - target 473

    Jack Haynes is more than happy to leave every delivery outside the off stump from Alfie Ogborne and who can blame him?

    Nottinghamshire still need to try and bat for at least another 83 overs with only four wickets in hand if they are to get anything from this game.

  17. 50 runs

    50 partnership Roderick & Allisonpublished at 11:57 BST

    Worcs 265 & 82-2 v Middx 339 & 283-6 dec

    Ben Allison has edged to the slip cordon three times. Once he was dropped and twice the ball didn't quite carry.

    So he's still there on 37 dominating a 50 partnership with Gareth Roderick.

  18. Postpublished at 11:54 BST

    Leicestershire 362-8 & 187 v Essex 401

    Another shout from Jamie Porter, another rejection from the umpire.

    This time the seamer and Michael Pepper, who is up at the stumps, think Josh Davey might have feathered one into the keeper's gloves with his outside edge.

    That has not done anything for Porter's mood, having also conceded four runs off Davey who edged to the third man boundary a couple of deliveries earlier.

    Somerset with the youngest CC keeper-slip cordon ever? T Rew (18), Thomas (21), Vaughan (20), Ogborne (22)

    Chinnock, Bristol

    Certainly looking good for the future for Somerset. Unless, of course, they're all dragged off to the England side, which seems quite likely in the coming years for at least a couple of those players.

    Notts 79-6 v Somerset - target 473

    Nottinghamshire haven't lost a County Championship game since May 2025, which came away at Durham and was their only defeat last season on the way to the title.

    Notts also haven't suffered a home defeat for almost two years, losing to Hampshire at Trent Bridge in May 2024.

    That just tells you the size of this victory for Somerset if they can indeed get it over the line.
