  1. Leicestershire creep to domination

    Leicestershire 435-6 v Yorkshire 185

    Nick Kelly scored his 14th first class century

    Nick Kelly has played a blinder today.

    It was an innings with white-ball aggression and intensity, but with red-ball discipline.

    What was really striking was Kelly's lofted driving, and the fact that he would come down the pitch and strike the ball so truly. It's rare to see such clean hitting charging down the track off seam bowlers.

    His knock has taken the Foxes from being on top, to utter domination. Their lead is approaching 300, which will surely be too difficult to post a challenge from.

    Joey Evison has done well to keep things moving with a half-century.

    Yorkshire just haven't had the answers with the ball, a surprising turn of events given their relative good form.

  2. Surrey begin second-innings

    Glamorgan v Surrey 0-0 f/o - trail by 253

    Kiran Carlson gets his side in a huddle once more and Surrey still have another 30 overs to negotiate this evening on what has been a disastrous second day.

    Rory Burns, following his bizarre dismissal in the first innings just a few hours ago, fends off Timm van der Gugten's first delivery towards the offside for no run.

    WICKET

    Hose b L Charlesworth 52 (Worcs 185-4 v Glos 289)

    A big wicket for the Glosters.

    Adam Hose goes back to try to pull Liam Charlesworth but the ball does not get up how he was expecting and it clatters into the stumps.

    A stand of 98 is broken.

  4. Leics 436-6 v Yorks 185

    Leicestershire have had a fabulous couple of days as they search for a first County Championship win at home to Yorkshire in 40 years.

    They need 14 more runs in three overs to add the icing on the cake of maximum batting points.

  5. 50 runs

    50 for Joey Evison

    Leics 435-6 v Yorks 185

    Joey Evison drives square into the offside for four off Hassan Ali to go to 48.

    The 24-year-old then opens the face and turns down to third man for two more which brings up his 16th first-class fifty.

    He hasn't been at his fluent best but brings up the landmark off 84 balls with seven fours and a six.

    Evison becomes the fourth Fox to reach a half-century after Rehan Ahmed, Rishi Patel and Nick Kelly.

  6. 50 runs

    50 for Adam Hose

    Worcs 182-3 v Glos 289

    Adam Hose clips one deep into the legside for a single off Liam Charlesworth.

    That's enough for him to bring up his 50 off 116 balls - the 17th time he's done so in whites.

  7. 450 up for Notts

    Essex 184 v Notts 450-9

    You would think Notts will want a go at the Essex batters before the close tonight.

    There are still 12 overs left in the day as we stand.

    The visitors lead by 266 runs.

  8. wicket

    WICKET AND SURREY ALL OUT FOR 105

    Chahar c Tribe b Crane 0 (Glamorgan 358 v Surrey 105)

    Gone first ball and Surrey are all out for 105! The follow-on HAS been enforced.

    Mason Crane gets two in two balls - it's bat then pad and Asa Tribe takes a simple catch at short-leg to remove Rahul Chahar.

    At the halfway stage, Glamorgan lead Surrey by 253. Tom Norton is rightly applauded off the field for his efforts with the 18-year-old claiming 5-50 off his 10 overs.

    Kiran Carlson immediately decides to enforce the follow-on before the Surrey batters are barely back in the shed.

    Play is set to resume at 17:19 with Rory Burns and Dom Sibley expected to open the batting again for a second time this afternoon.

    An extraordinary collapse by the Brown Caps but not the first time they have been told to follow-on recently following their heavy defeat by Yorkshire at Headingley last month.

  9. Worcs 164-3 v Glos 289

    This is a real dogfight of a day and session at New Road.

    Adam Hose and Brett D'Oliveira are scrapping away. The partnership is up to 77 and they are inching their way towards that Glos total.

    The visitors are keeping things tight, but wickets are of utmost urgency now.

  10. Essex 184 v Notts 439-9

    Notts are far from hitting out with the final pair at the wicket.

    Jack Haynes has moved to 131 not out with Olly Stone giving good support on 18.

    The lead is now 255 runs.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Abbott b Crane 10 (Glamorgan v Surrey 105-9 - trail by 253)

    Right through the gate and gone! Glamorgan have maximum bowling points.

    What a day Mason Crane has had!

    After completing his maiden first-class century, he totally deceives Sean Abbott with what looks on first glance like a googly.

  12. Derbyshire 364 v Lancashire 161 & 70-3

    The Red Rose are in complete survival mode. An absolute hosing is what's required to keep this flower alive in this match.

    Marcus Harris is on 13 and Harry Singh, one off 30 balls.

    The deficit is currently 133 to make Derbyshire bat again.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Delano Potgieter

    Sussex v Hants 148-6 - lead by 180

    What a crucial knock this could turn out to be come the end of the game.

    The South African all-rounder reaches his half-century off 114 deliveries as Hampshire's lead now nears 200.

    He has been at the crease for well over two-and-a-half hours.

  14. 6 runs

    Somerset 208 v Warks 269-7

    Jordan Thompson takes on a straight ball from Jake Ball and absolutely middles it, lifting it for a flat six.

    It makes a massive clang as it comes to earth in the Taunton stands.

    The longest boundary of the ground to boot.

  15. 100 runs

    100 up for Surrey

    Glamorgan v Surrey 100-8 - trail by 258

    Sean Abbott notches a single into the offside and that brings up Surrey's 100.

  16. 100 runs

    100 for Max Holden

    Kent 416 v Middlesex 219-6

    Max Holden batting for MiddlesexShutterstock

    That is a terrific cut shot from Max Holden to take him from 96 to 100 in one fell swoop.

    A 14th four to go with one six and all done in 124 balls. It's a 10th of his first-class career.

    In the context of the game, absolutely invaluable for Middlesex.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Rhodes c Vasconcelos b Conway 62 (Durham 202-5 v Northants 450)

    Northants are fighting back.

    Will Rhodes nicks Harry Conway behind and a second Durham wicket goes down after tea.

    Ollie Robinson is the next taxi off the rank for the home side.

    Remember, 301 is the follow-on target.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Malik c&b Overton 16 (Somerset 208 v Warks 259-7)

    Somerset continue to limit the damage.

    Zen Malik looks to drive Craig Overton back down the ground but instead pops up a simple catch for the Somerset captain.

    A second wicket for Overton and he has richly deserved that.

    We have two left-handers at the crease as Manav Suthar comes to the middle to join Jordan Thompson.

  19. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    So Lancashire were favourites for promotion. Very disappointing season so far, at a loss to know what has happened and injuries have been used as an excuse but other Counties have suffered as well. A miracle required to get anywhere near the promotion places.

    George Reed, Nelson

    Oh Glammy Glammy, Glammy Glammy Glammy Glamorgan!

    Taffy, Berkshire

    Contrasting views from supporters of counties who are going against pre-season predictions.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Hutton c Harmer b Critchley 5 (Essex 184 v Notts 419-9)

    The torture of Essex is almost over.

    Brett Hutton goes on the sweep to Matt Critchley, gets a top edge or a glove and Simon Harmer pouches the catch.

    Olly Stone is the last man for Notts, who lead by 235 runs.
