We all agree it's lovely to be back, Christine, but... Crete or Birmingham in April, Crete or Birmingham in April... it's a tough call.

Pretty sedate going at sunny Taunton as Somerset's Tom-Tom pairing of Abell and Lammonby are patiently guiding the hosts towards a lead of 300. It's 272 at present with 81 overs remaining on the slate.

If Notts are going to have any chance of sneaking a win they need a flurry of wickets promptly. The new ball is 11 overs away.

Easy single for Stevie Eskinazi off Jack Carson, which carries him to 50 off 122 balls. A very sensible, disciplined innings thus far.

"We know his record from playing for Middlesex, I've always thought he's a very good player," says Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace in the BBC commentary box.

I was talking earlier about a declaration but that probably won't happen now because Durham have lost 5-19 in seven overs this morning.

The pitch seems to be doing a bit and some of the batsmen are clearly struggling with the slow pace. Graham Clark and Ollie Robinson were both through their shots early. Clark was caught at point, on three, off Glenton Stuurman, while Robinson clipped Keith Dudgeon to Tawanda Muyeye in the covers.

Ben McKinney was the first player to go this morning. Moments after a thick inside edge he was then bowled for 38, having added 73 for the third wicket with David Bedingham.

Matt Milnes bowled McKinney and then took Bedingham's wicket a few minutes later when he was on 48. The ball just clipped off-stump.

Colin Ackermann also departed for one, caught behind off Dudgeon, with keeper Chris Benjamin taking a good, low catch.

Glamorgan 302 & 146-3 v Yorks 226

A first half-century of the season for the new Glamorgan captain, who whips a ball from George Hill to square leg for a couple.

It's taken him 102 balls and he and Colin Ingram have so far added 69 for the fourth wicket.

Spin at both ends now from Sussex.

With a slip, leg slip and short leg in position, Stevie Eskinazi reverse sweeps Jack Carson and times it perfectly for four runs.

A cricket fan's dark humour about their own club is unrivalled.

Too wide by Tom Price and Stevie Eskinazi is in position early before chopping it behind square for four easy runs.

He is 40 not out - and we still haven't seen an over from Sussex captain Ollie Robinson this morning.

Surrey 199-3 trail by 17

Jamie Smith 64 and Dan Lawrence 25 have been tested by Chris Woakes and Ethan Bamber this morning but they've survived and have continued to score well.

Surrey are now just 17 runs behind.

Nathan McSweeney and Luke Procter have set their stall out here and their job is to knock the hardness and shine out/off this new ball.

It would help their cause if they could lay bat on ball but they are finding it difficult with the maidens stacking up and Tom Bailey and Jimmy Anderson consistently beating the edge.

We are 13 overs in to the Northants innings.

Another over ticks by as Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace enters the BBC commentary box at Grace Road.

"The wicket is definitely not as tricky as it was on the first two days," he tells Radio Leicester's Richard Rae.

Sussex still need five wickets to win - Leicestershire require 326 more runs.

Warwickshire 544 v Surrey 328 & 197-3

Warwickshire can't afford that. Jamie Smith edges Chris Woakes but Sam Hain at slip is beaten by the pace of the ball and can't grab it.

Woakes has been asking questions of the Surrey batters but Smith and Dan Lawrence have seen off the first half hour of the day and continue to score well.

It won't be long before Surrey are ahead.
