A busy session of 157 runs for four wickets comes to an end as the players head off for a delayed tea break.

With Yorkshire only 45 behind now they will be forming a plan about how to approach the evening session.

New batting partnership Jhye Richardson and Logan van Beek move Yorkshire within 45 runs of Sussex's total in the last over before tea.

A strong session for Nottinghamshire comes an end.

They lost just one wicket from lunch to tea, when Ben Slater fell victim to a loose delivery from Beau Webster for 48. But for the most part of today, the home side have been dominant, with the Bears seamers currently struggling to threaten.

Warwickshire attempted to force a breakthrough through bringing the spin of Rob Yates and Dan Mousely into the attack, but the pair conceded 19 runs in their four overs.

Haseeb Hameed is putting in a captain's performance, currently 89 not out, with Ben Duckett alongside him on 40.

Surrey edged into the lead in the final over of the session, with Tom Lawes pulling Paul Walter for four, but overall the home side have been pegged back after losing the wickets of Ben Foakes and Dan Lawrence, the latter for 125.

Jordan Clark and Tom Lawes are at the crease with 34 and 22 respectively and you'd think Surrey will need to try and take the initiative in this final session, looking to build the kind of advantage that might put Essex under some pressure in their second innings.

Derbyshire have indeed been asked to follow on during the tea interval by Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire have only picked up three points in their opening three matches - what a chance they have to add a big haul here.

There is a decent ripple of applause around Trent Bridge from a sizeable home crowd as Notts level the score with Warwickshire just one wicket down.

A measured few hours of batting from the Nottinghamshire top order means they will force Warwickshire to bat again.

A good partnership is building between Haseeb Hameed and England's Ben Duckett.

It was a very slow walk from Dom Bess as he was dismissed.

There were signs of dissent as he trudged off, the umpires were not too happy with that.

Yorkshire 446-7 v Sussex 502

A single takes George Hill to his half-century from 55 balls.

Earlier in the afternoon, it looked as though Surrey were hitting the accelerator but they're becalmed again as we approach the tea interval.

Again, the Essex bowlers have kept the pressure on, with Sam Cook delivering a maiden and Matt Critchley bowling an efficient, extended spell at the other end.

Jordan Clark has 27 and Tom Lawes 18.

Gloucestershire have bowled out Derbyshire for 281 for a first-innings lead of 217. They've taken tea at the County Ground, so we will see if the visitors enforce the follow on shortly.

Worcestershire are closing in on a thumping victory over Kent. The hosts have just taken an eighth wicket at New Road to leave Kent 212-8 and still requiring 39 to make the Pears bat again.

Lancashire are building a really handy lead over Durham thanks to Paul Coughlin and Michael Jones who are both approaching 50. Lancashire are 156-6 and lead by 231.

The Warwickshire seamers have bowled decently here but haven't looked too threatening. The Notts pair look comfortable at the crease.

Ben Duckett has eased his way to 21 alongside Haseeb Hameed who remains steadfast on 78.

Will Warwickshire regret enforcing the follow on here? There maybe hasn't been as much movement for the bowlers as they may have expected.

Sam Cook is back on for another spell prior to tea and he sends down five dot balls to Tom Lawes before the last one is a bit wider and the batter capitalises by steering it to the off-side fence.

Surrey are now just 20 behind and have six overs before the interval to try and lift themselves out of the red.

The Foxes get to 400 within 108 overs to grab a fourth batting point.

Jonny Tattersall (38*) and Stephen Eskinazi (35*) are enjoying their time in the middle together and have now made 72 in partnership.

Leicestershire now with Glamorgan's total well within their sights.

Tom Lawes has come out with an attacking mindset, clubbing Matt Critchley back over his head for four - but he should probably be back in the changing room right now.

The spinner tempts Lawes out of his ground again with a flighted ball outside off stump and he lunges and misses - but Michael Pepper is unable to react quickly enough to take the ball and then whip off the bails.

Lawes remains, with 11 to his name, while Jordan Clark has 23.

Joe just nibbled at a ball he didn't need to, he will be annoyed with himself.

It's still a superb knock from Root.

Ben Duckett brings up the 150 for Notts as he begins to get going. Notts now trail by just 29 runs as Duckett begins to settle at the crease.

Duckett is now 19 not out and Haseeb Hameed remains firm on 72.
