Kent 416 & 108-3 v Middlesex 443
A little ripple of applause after a tough day for the Kent followers.
Middlesex have been on top for much of the day, but Daniel Bell-Drummond picks up a couple more off Seb Morgan to bring up three figures for his team.
The Kent skipper maintains the intent by collecting his fifth boundary.
Zaib c Robinson b Raine 18 (Durham 405 v Northants 450 & 141-5)
Clever bowling from Ben Raine who goes really wide on the crease (about as wide as he could go in fact) and puts Saif Zaib in two minds.
In the end he plays inside the line of fourth stump and edges behind to Ollie Robinson.
Unadkat c Orr b Abbott 0 (Sussex 159 & 134 v Hampshire 191 & 220)
Sussex's last man Jaydev Unadkat faces one ball and Ali Orr catches it at gulley - it didn't take long after tea for Hampshire to see that victory out.
Sussex made it to 67-2 but when the wickets began to fall Hampshire got well on top with the hosts losing their last seven seven wickets for just 26 runs.
Kent 416 & 93-3 v Middlesex 443
Sebastian Morgan drops short and Daniel Bell-Drummond flashes hard for four.
The 18-year-old then strays on to the pads of the Kent captain who helps it on its way for a second boundary of the over.
He moves to 24 and the lead goes to 66.
Northants 139-4 lead Durham by 184
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio Newcastle
Matty Potts has just taken his sixth wicket of the match, with Nathan McSweeney LBW in the third over after tea.
The Northants stand-in skipper left a delivery on 52 and it angled back and clipped his rear pad. He'd put on 32 for the fourth wicket with Saif Zaib.
If Durham's bowlers can follow up that dismissal with a couple more in the next few overs, the game will be very much in the balance. There are 29 overs left of day three and the sun is shining in CLS.
Simpson c Organ b Abbott 14 (Sussex 159 & 134-9 Hampshire 191 & 220)
John Simpson is caught at mid-on, and he throws the bat up in the air in disappointment.
Simpson walks off with 14 from 38 balls and surely now this is a second Hampshire victory of the season.
Simpson was arguably the last hope Sussex had.
Somerset 208 & 236-6 v Warks 330
Image source, Getty ImagesEthan Bamber's line strays and Craig Overton cuts it square for four to go to fifty for the 21st time in his first-class career.
A fine counter-attacking knock from 87 balls - with seven fours and a six - is giving Somerset a sniff and setting a few nerves jangling among the visitors.
The Somerset skipper will want plenty more yet.
McSweeney lbw b Potts 52 (Durham 405 v Northants 450 & 139-4)
Nathan McSweeney has left a few in his innings but he has chosen the wrong one to pad up to here.
Matthew Potts has got one to nip back off the pitch and, with the batsman offering no shot, Michael Gough's finger goes up pretty sharpish.
McSweeney looks a little disgruntled, staring down at the pitch mark and tracking the ball back to the stumps with his eyes but he walks.
Probably close but would have passed the umpire's call test.
Pope c Kellaway b Crane 73 (Glamorgan 358 v Surrey 105 & 292-7)
Ollie Pope has gone for 73 from 131 balls, and it was an easy catch for Ben Kellaway at mid off.
You can see the disappointment in Pope as he drags himself off, he hits it straight to the fielder.
Surrey need a partnership now, but Glamorgan will be pleased to see the back of Pope.
With players being withdrawn for England, do the opposing county side get a say on the substitute player and would he be allowed to bat and bowl as if starting the game?
Mike, Stratford-upon-Avon
Hi Mike, the rules brought in on a trial basis this season say any sub must be like-for-like, eg a bowler must replace a bowler. The sub has to be signed off by the match referee and can play a full part in the game. It has led to a fair bit of debate about what like-for-like is, particularly earlier in the season.
Leicestershire 453 beat Yorkshire 185 & 229 by an innings and 39 runs
Adam Whitty
BBC Radio Leicester commentator
Image source, Rex FeaturesThe last time Leicestershire won a County Championship match in Division One, Phil DeFreitas was playing for The Foxes. Remember, he won the 1986/87 Ashes.
It's been 8,320 days since they won a four day game in English cricket's top tier. They had never beaten Yorkshire at this ground by an innings, and it's only the second time they had beaten The Tykes since 1996.
They played wonderfully, particularly since they lost the toss. They bowled with real vigour, getting the most out of the pitch, bowling consistent lines and lengths. They batted as well as I have seen them bat this season, being tactically astute - going hard at the bad balls, but otherwise playing calmly and diligently.
Rehan Ahmed is a superstar, Nick Kelly looks like a very good overseas batter.
With a win, they have kept themselves alive in their fight for survival. Two vital matches against Glamorgan at home, and Yorkshire in Scarborough, are to follow in two months' time.
But the monkey is off Alfonso Thomas' back, they have their win, and in some style too.
Yorkshire were surprisingly abject, and their inconsistency will be a huge worry.
Put simply, if they wanted to compete for the title, they would have won this game. The fact they got hammered tells it's own story.
Derbyshire beat Lancashire by nine wickets
Lancashire head coach Steven Croft said admitted his side had been outplayed in the defeat at Derbyshire which means they drop to sixth in Division Two.
"We under-performed with the bat and ball. Very disappointing, yes we've got some young lads in the side but more of our team needs to be putting their hands up," he said.
"Yes we got put in on a pitch that was helpful for the bowlers but I still thought we could have managed a lot better and also got closer to them skill wise which is tough to say.
"We're under-performing for the group of players we've got, yes we've got injuries but I think we are still sending sides out that we expect to do a lot better than they are."
On the performance of 17-year-old Joe Moores who hit an impressive 57, Croft said: "It's great to see him go out there and get some runs and I thought he's kept really well. He's had a tough job to stand up to the stumps and it's great to see him have a performance like today."
Somerset 208 & 224-6 v Warks 330
Mike Taylor
BBC WM commentator
Image source, Getty ImagesAn hour after lunch Somerset appeared to be close to going over the brink in this match; they were cheered off at tea having almost ensured that Warwickshire will have at least an awkward chase on a pitch taking spin.
While James Rew has been a much-discussed inclusion in the England squad, his younger brother Thomas has continued his own rapid progress this afternoon, following up a hundred at Trent Bridge last week with a well-judged contribution, so far worth 71, here.
After losing Somerset’s most reliable player in the first innings, Lewis Goldsworthy, lbw to Ethan Bamber and seeing Archie Vaughan feather a limp pull stroke to the keeper, he was in need of an ally.
It must have been reassuring to see his captain Craig Overton, in fine batting form this season but clearly cross with his own shot in the first innings, coming out to bat determinedly with him, and their partnership is so far worth 76.
Ed Barnard ran through all his bowling options apart from himself. Manav Suthar tried from both ends but was unable to add to his three wickets this morning.
Beau Webster could not maintain the same pressure but did make one off-break spin sharply off Overton’s inside edge, running to safety.
Barnard claimed the new ball four overs before tea but it has already yielded 23 runs, taking Somerset’s advantage into three figures and perhaps raising Warwickshire’s nerves.
Durham 405 v Northants 450 & 137-3
A half century for the Aussie as he clips a delivery from Matthew Potts off his toes for an on-side single.
He got off a to a rapid start but has slowed as Gus Miller was out, taking 85 balls to get there with five fours.
Sussex 159 & 134-8 Hampshire 191 & 220
Adrian Harms
BBC Radio Sussex
A session that has seen Hampshire take complete control of this match leaving them just two wickets to take after tea and secure a second County Championship win of the season.
They've taken 7 for 70 in 34 overs with Eddie Jack taking four wickets in two spells for his best figures in first class cricket.
Sussex offered resistance through Tom Alsop his 43 coming in 129 balls, but against tight accurate Hampshire bowling Sussex have struggled to gain any impetus into their run chase.
Off the field it's been a good day for Sussex with a healthy crowd encouraged by free admission for Father's Day, but sadly for most of them they are almost certain to see their side defeated for the first time at home this season.
Sussex 159 & 134-8 Hampshire 191 & 220
Sussex hopes of a win seem to be dwindling after every ball, they now require 119 runs to win with only two wickets remaining.
It was a series of falling wickets in quick succession that saw their chances of winning slim down.
Tom Haines and Jack Leaning are the two you would say have cost Sussex today, Hampshire will be very happy with the position they find themselves in.
I understand the frustration with Ben and Gus being pulled from their county games but surely it must be country before club. England have just been hammered by NZ and if we are to have any chance at Trent Bridge we need our best team with Ben at the helm.

Lancashire’s demise is the football equivalent of Man Utd falling to the bottom of the Championship and recruiting players from Oxford United in the belief this will enable them to challenge Arsenal and City.

Glamorgan 358 v Surrey 105 & 282-6
It has been a great performance by Surrey as we head in for Tea on Day three. Captain Rory Burns hit is first century of the season, tallying up 115 before being caught out by the South African of Chris Cooke.
It was a day to forget for Sam Curran who only faced two balls before being caught by Chris Cooke, when he chipped the ball of his bat, which made it an easy catch for the Glamorgan fielder.
Despite this Surrey have taken the lead, and now hold a 29 run advantage in the match with 4 wickets remaining.
Somerset 208 & 224-6 v Warks 330
Thomas Rew takes Nathan Gilchrist for stylish back-to-back boundaries before a Craig Overton single takes the lead to three figures.
A good session for Somerset who were staring down the barrel when Archie Vaughan became the sixth wicket to fall with the lead on just 26.
But a tentative hope has begun to rise among the home faithful as an unbroken 76-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Rew (71) and Overton (42) has nudged the lead out to 102 at tea.
The scale of Warwickshire’s chase may well depend on what their bowlers can do with the new ball.
England head coach Brendon McCullum says he is ready to work with Ben Stokes when the captain returns for the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge.
Stokes and pace bowler Gus Atkinson were made unavailable for the huge second-Test defeat pending an investigation into an incident in a London nightclub.
The results of the investigation are still to be revealed, but McCullum has confirmed Stokes will return as captain - a position he has held since 2022 - in Nottingham.
"Ben will be back," said McCullum. "He'll be back and he'll be captain."
The duo were pulled out of their County Championship matches this morning after Stokes hit 95 for Durham against Northants and Atkinson took 4-61 for Surrey against Glamorgan earlier in those games.
