Essex 134 & 62-1 v Warwickshire 191
Kit Harris
BBC Sport commentator
Walter's slog sweep is really high and Woakes takes a wonderful diving catch. He had to track that about 25 yards and he had his eye on it the whole time. Walter looked to mow it over mid-wicket but he has fallen as he flourished, attempting a big shot into the leg side.
Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 180-9
Jake Ball is off the mark with a back foot drive behind point for four.
Ball nearly takes a run off the last ball of the Ben Cliff over to deep third but Craig Overton isn't having a bar of it.
He'll now face Ben Coad on 44.
Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 36-1
It's back of a length from Khaled Ahmed and it's maximum profit for Josh Bohannon, who goes with a big pull over mid-wicket for six.
The very next ball, the Kent fielders think Bohannon has nicked off to Chris Benjamin but it's a half-hearted appeal and the umpires says no.
Surrey 115 v Glamorgan 132 & 106-2
That's the danger of standing up to the quicks.
Ben Foakes takes a painful one on the bicep as Auqib Nabi finds some extra bounce to Kiran Carlson.
The ball rebounds to second slip who ensures no extras are added to the score.
Pretorius c Hill b Cliff 58 - Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 176-9
Seven wickets for Ben Cliff - who has prized out Migael Pretorius.
The Somerset number 10 is back to chop the bowler to deep third and edges high to George Hill at first slip.
That stand with Craig Overton was worth 90.
Jake Ball to face the next ball.
Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 28-1
Michael Jones drives straight down the ground for four off Khaled Ahmed and that just chips away a little more at Kent's lead.
Lancashire are now just 25 runs behind with nine wickets still in the hut.
Hampshire 214 & 11-0 v Leicestershire 244

Cricket is a funny game, isn't it? The Grace Road crowd waited with baited breath to see if Leicestershire could squeak past Hampshire's first innings total and also get a batting bonus point.
They did the former, but not the latter. Hampshire, of all teams, can tell you the value of one point (having stayed up by that margin last year).
The Foxes added 96 to their overnight total for a lead of 30 but Tom Scriven, who batted wonderfully for his half century, perhaps could have managed the strike better to get to 250.
The tail has got them out of the mire again, their batting line-up need to stand up in the fourth innings to take advantage of a slim lead.
They will now hope to skittle out Hampshire and head towards a much needed win.
Leicestershire 235-8 v Hampshire 214 & 7-0
A single off the opening over from Ian Holland.
Felix Organ latches on to a short and wide ball from Tom Scriven, guiding it away for a four.
Scriven gets one to nip away on a good length though.
Nick Gubbins is getting some away movement to deal with from Holland's second over but survives.
Walter c Woakes b Suthar 42 (Essex 134 & 62-1 v Warwickshire 191)
Essex get their noses in front... but lose Paul Walter.
Tall Paul tried a lofted sweep but it flies off the top of the bat very high into the sky - Chris Woakes follows it nicely and takes a great catch!
It came off the back of a couple of lovely shots for four but Walter mistimed that one - it felt like it was in the air for ages.
Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 23-1
Short from Khaled Ahmed and Lancashire opening bat Michael Jones says thank you very much.
He swats it away for four on the hook with real power.
Jones was the top scorer for Lancashire in their first innings with 44 and is onto 14 in the second.
His side really need him to produce again this afternoon.
Northants 89-0 v Derbyshire 372
The Northants opener moves to 50 runs from 116 balls.
His skipper Luke Procter is also unbeaten on 30 at the other end.
The duo safely saw out ten overs last night and have moved things along nicely today.
Durham 465 v Worcestershire 31-0
Durham skipper Alex Lees summons Ben Stokes for a pre-lunch burst.
Jake Libby edges to third man for four from the former England captain's opening delivery, and repeats it from the last.
Stokes looks to the heavens. You can perhaps imagine what he is thinking.
Essex 134 & 53-0 v Warwickshire 191
Paul Walter (33*) and Dean Elgar (15*) have seen Essex through to 53 without loss.
Which is considerably better than the position Essex were in in their first innings when they were 33-7.
The hosts have almost wiped out the first-innings deficit already.

Fantastic effort from super Craig and Pretorius when the batsman left them under real pressure... the dream is still alive and kicking!

Craig Overton and Migael Pretorius have scored 99 of Somerset's 169 runs so far between the two of them.
Surrey have won the toss and put Hampshire in to bat in today's semi-final at the Utlita Bowl. Play starts at 12:30 and the winners will play The Blaze on Saturday.
Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 168-8
Who ever would've thought Migael Pretorius would beat Craig Overton to a 50?
Overton, two places higher in the order and in supreme form, is on 42 and sees out a maiden over from Kuldeep Yadav.
Durham have made their first bowling change but have still not achieved a breakthrough against Worcestershire, who are 27-0 after 10 overs in reply to the home side's 465 all out.
Gloucestershire have moved on to 63-1 in the 20th over against Middlesex after bowling the visitors out for 326.
Sussex 71-2 v Notts 240
Ever so slightly over-pitched by Tom Giles and Tom Clark makes the most of it with a wonderful cover drive.
It flies to the boundary and Clark is on 29 from 37 balls.
Sussex now trail by 169 runs.
Leicestershire 235-8 v Hampshire 214 & 0-0
Here come Felix Organ and Nick Gubbins to open the Hampshire innings.
Leicestershire captain Ian Holland, very much Hampshire destroyer-in-chief on first innings, will bowl first up to Organ.
Yorkshire 212 v Somerset 164-8
Four more to Migael Pretorius, driving neatly down the ground from the crease off the bowling of Ben Cliff.
The Yorkshire lead is down to 44.
The partnership is worth 82.
