Kasey Aldridge takes 5-19 as Durham enforce follow-on against Derbyshire
Sussex 484-9 v Glamorgan 155
Things go from bad to worse for Glamorgan as two fielders close on a leg-side hit by James Coles off Timm van der Gugten - but it's a case of 'do you want it, no it's yours' and in the end neither goes for it as it clears the rope for six.
Later in the over Coles is dropped by Sean Dickson as he advances to 191 not out.
Lancs 87 v Kent 178 & 194-5
This is a nasty one for Lancashire's Keaton Jennings.
He's taken one in the face as he tried to stop a shot from Bertie Foreman off the bowling of Tom Bailey.
Jennings is leaving the field to be assessed.
Northants 465 v Glocs 164-4
James Bracey pushes Calvin Harrison through mid off for four to bring up his half century – 88 balls and five boundaries the pertinent numbers to go with it.
Lancs 87 v Kent 178 & 193-5
Chris Benjamin is going for it for Kent here.
Two balls after smashing Liam Livingstone for six over mid-wicket, he comes down the track and drives straight down the ground for a powerful four along the deck.
We have our first result of the day in the Women's One-Day Cup, with Hampshire completing a 39-run win over Somerset at Taunton.
Maia Bouchier, Rhianna Southby and Francesca Sweet all passed 50 in Hampshire's 303-7 - and Somerset were bowled out for 264 in the 47th over of their chase despite the efforts of Bex Odgers (77) and Anika Learoyd (87).
Haynes c Rew b Overton 57 (Notts 193 v Somerset 310)
Somerset have skittled Nottinghamshire for 193.
Craig Overton bangs one in short and Jack Haynes goes for the spectacular but can only top edge it high into the sky.
When it eventually comes down with snow on it, wicketkeeper James Rew is underneath it to take the catch behind square on the legside.
Haynes top scores for Notts with 57 but that's as disappointing a display with the bat for the defending champions as it is an excellent bowling performance by Somerset.
Somerset will come out to bat for their second innings with a lead of 117 already in place. Not a bad spot to be in.
Could Notts be on course for their first defeat of the County Championship campaign? They will need to bowl very well indeed to stay in the contest.
Leics 142-7 v Essex 401
Another lovely straight drive down the ground, this time off Shane Snater, and Nick Kelly appears to be playing on a different pitch to the rest of his teammates.
He has 63 off 89 with 10 fours and a six.
Lancs 87 v Kent 178 & 184-5
Kent have surpassed their first innings total of 178 for five fewer wickets and in some style too.
Chris Benjamin launches a huge six over mid-wicket from the bowling of Liam Livingstone and that has sailed out of the ground at Stanley Park.
The visitors now lead Lancashire by 275 runs and we're going to need a new ball to play with.
The original one is irretrievable.
Brookes c Cracknell b Morgan 29 (Worcs 179-7 v Middx 339)
It's turning into a decent game from young Sebastian Morgan.
After scoring an unbeaten half century he now has two wickets.
Ethan Brookes is his latest victim as he hangs his bat out to dry and is caught behind.
Jewell b Potts 4 (Durham 377 v Derbys 118 & 44-3)
What must Mickey Arthur be thinking?
Matthew Potts finds a bit of extra bounce and Caleb Jewell inside edges into his stumps.
Durham need seven more wickets to win with 25 overs still remaining on day two.
Lancs 87 v Kent 178 & 178-5
Bertie Foreman takes a real whack where no man want to be struck from the bowling of Tom Bailey.
But he's recovered enough now to carry on and play can resume.
Green c Cox b Harmer 6 (Leics 134-7 v Essex 401)
Floated down by the South African and Ben Green is drawn forward into a defensive prod which feathers the edge of his bat and into the gloves of Ben Cox.
That has been a painful innings to watch with 6 from 43 balls and Essex will fancy their chances of enforcing the follow-on with a few overs at Leics for a second time tonight as things stand.
If they can get Nick Kelly out that is.
Waite c Roland-Jones b Morgan 69 (Worcs 178-6 v Middx 339)
Breakthrough for Middlesex as Matthew Waite falls into a trap set by Sebastian Morgan.
Waite pulls a short delivery straight to Toby Roland-Jones on the long leg boundary.
An excellent innings from Waite but Worcestershire are still 161 runs behind.
Finch c Moores b Bailey 83 (Lancs 87 v Kent 178 & 178-5)
That is a big wicket for Lancashire.
Tom Bailey gets just enough movement off the pitch to seam it away from Harry Finch, who was trying to block and it takes a thin edge on the way through to Joe Moores behind the stumps.
You still feel the home side need to take the remaining five wickets for very few runs to stand a chance.
But it's a glimmer of hope.
Sussex 472-9 v Glamorgan 155

James Coles crashes two successive Timm van der Gugten over mid-wicket for six as he and Jaydev Unadkat post a 50 partnership for the 10th wicket for just 34 balls.
Coles goes past his 180 against Derbyshire on the same ground in 2023 - his previous highest score in first-class cricket.
Montgomery c Robinson b Potts 7 (Durham 377 v Derbys 118 & 40-2)
Matthew Montgomery attempts a short-arm pull but gloves a leg-side catch to wicketkeeper Ollie Robinson.
Two wickets now for Matthew Potts and Derbyshire are....the best word we can think of is 'teetering'.
Pennington lbw b Overton 0 (Notts 189-9 v Somerset 310)
Image source, ShutterstockNine down, one to go for Somerset!
Craig Overton gets one to angle in towards Dillon Pennington, who fails to get bat on ball, and it strikes him in front, halfway up.
Up goes the finger and Nottinghamshire have got a real battle on their hands to avoid a first defeat of the season as things stand.
Sussex 462-9 v Glamorgan 155
James Coles hits Mason Crane down the ground for six to bring up Sussex's 450 and two balls later hoists him beyond the rope at mid-wicket. This is exhilarating stuff from the Sussex batsman and the lead is now over 300.
Notts 189-8 v Somerset 310
Craig Overton is the acting captain for Somerset now that Lewis Gregory has left the field with injury.
And it's Overton who is going to bowl the next over. Jack Haynes, unbeaten on 55, is on strike.
Leics 126-6 v Essex 401
Image source, ShutterstockSimon Harmer gives one some air and Nick Kelly pounces, driving firmly back straight for a boundary.
He goes the other way on the last ball of the over punching to the fielder at long on to bring up his half century.
It has taken 78 balls and included seven fours and a six
