    Notts 129-8 v Somerset - target 473

    We're going to have an extra 15 minutes of play before the players take lunch to see if Somerset can grab another couple of wickets and wrap this up.

    Northants 465 v Glos 268 & 304-8

    Matt Taylor turns his back on a Harry Conway bouncer, which ends an excellent over, and is fortunate it does not hit him.

    A wicket maiden - and the Gloucestershire lead remains 107.

    Ahmed lbw Conway 40 (Northants 465 v Glos 268 & 304-8)

    Lunch will be pretty much on time at Wantage Road despite the late start but Gloucestershire will not make it unscathed.

    Harry Conway angles one in to Daz Ahmed and he is leg before playing slightly across the line.

    He put on 83 with James Bracey, who is now joined by Matt Taylor.

    Notts 128-8 v Somerset - target 473

    Fergus O'Neill tickles down the legside from Jack Leach and it's got enough pace on it to trickle all the way to the rope for four.

    Warks 263 & 137-4 v Yorks 469 & 246-6 dec

    "Sam Hain definitely has his defensive hat on today" says BBC commentator Dave Townsend.

    He's made 19 from 58 balls as Warwickshire try to bat through the day with only six wickets left.

    Notts 124-8 v Somerset - target 473

    Archie Vaughan is on for his first over for Somerset. Just the three runs from it.

    We've got spin from both ends now with Jack Leach continuing.

  7. Career best for Allisonpublished at 12:50 BST 15 June

    Worc 265 & 121-3 v Middx 339 & 283-6 dec

    Ben Allison goes on, but he's almost out while reaching his career best of 76.

    He lofts Eathan Bosch just over the outstretched hand of Toby Roland-Jones at mid on.

    Notts 121-8 v Somerset - target 473

    Trying to think of when Nottinghamshire last performed so miserably with the bat across an entire County Championship match like this...

    You probably have to go back to an innings defeat at Essex in September 2024 when Notts were bowled out for 93 and then 281.

    Just as we say that, Fergus O'Neill plays a lovely straight drive to hit Migael Pretorius down the ground for four and then repeats the trick to pick up two more.

    And then from the final ball of the over, guess what? Same again as it races away for another straight four for O'Neill.

    Warks 263 & 133-4 v Yorks 469 & 246-6 dec

    Yorkshire would love to get one of these experienced batters out before lunch to make it an excellent morning for them.

    Beau Webster is playing his shots and is on 22. Sam Hain is progressing steadily to reach 19.

    Change of bowler does the trick for Essex!

    Matt Critchley bowled the first over of the day and then disappeared, but he is back now to take over from Simon Harmer and strikes in his first over.

    This ball from the leg-spinner holds its line and Josh Davey takes a waft outside of off, but he bottom edges into Michael Pepper's gloves.

    It is a useful innings from Davey, who took up 66 balls for his 21. Essex now need only a single wicket to end the innings and begin their chase - Leicestershire currently lead by 191.

    Northants 465 v Glos 268 & 303-7

    Liam Guthrie having proved expensive, Northants skipper Luke Procter brings himself on to bowl.

    His second ball is driven straight for four by Daz Ahmed as Gloucestershire's total passes 300. They lead by 106.

    Roderick lbw Bosch 20 (Worc 265 & 116-3 v Middx 339 & 283-6)

    It's taken until the final half hour of the session but at last Middlesex make the breakthrough.

    It's bat and pad but the umpire believes it's pad first and Roderick has gone after a stand of 86 which has given Worcestershire a chance.

    Worcestershire need 242, Middlesex need seven more wickets.

    Notts 108-8 v Somerset - target 473

    Every bit of action now feels like delaying the inevitable Somerset victory.

    But there is still some pride to play for and Dillon Pennington gets off the mark with his first ball, guiding Migael Pretorius for four behind square on the offside.

    James Bracey ducks a Liam Guthrie bouncer then pushes the next one for a single as the Gloucestershire lead reaches 100.

    Bracey is now just seven runs away from a century of his own.

    Haynes c T Rew b Pretorius 24 (Notts 104-8 v Somerset - target 473)

    A memorable victory edges ever closer for Somerset.

    Jack Haynes tries to block from Migael Pretorius but can only succeed in feathering behind to Thomas Rew.

    Nottinghamshire are on the brink of a first County Championship defeat since May 2025 - and a first home loss in just over two years.

    Notts 104-7 v Somerset - target 473

    Wonderfully straight bat from Jack Haynes as he drives down the ground from Migael Pretorius.

    But he's hit it too straight as it crashes into the stumps at the other end, knocking one out the ground.

    Well fielded by the stumps, stopping a certain boundary.

    Fergus O'Neill tickles one around the corner from Jack Leach to pick up two and those are the only runs from the over.

    Take a bow, Lewis Hill.

    He cuts Charlie Bennett for four and then, with the next delivery, he cuts again - this time the effort is fielded in the deep but Hill has time to come back for the second run he needs.

    A seismic innings in the context of the game for Leicestershire, a century from 275 balls which has given the hosts hope of a result.

    Notts 102-7 v Somerset - target 473

    Time for some left-arm spin as Somerset bring Jack Leach into the bowling attack. He ended with figures of 1-1 from his two overs last night, trapping nightwatchman Brett Hutton in front.

    Worcs 265 & 109-2 v Middx 339 & 283-6 dec

    Goodness, that was a brave leave from Gareth Roderick. Zafar Gohar's delivery brushes the varnish of the off stump.

    The spinner is asking questions but the batters continue to survive with no wicket falling so far in this session.

    Worcestershire need 249 more to win.
