    Malik c Overton b Leach 12 (Somerset 208 & 435 v Warks 330 & 30-1 – chasing 314)

    Edged and caught at slip by Craig Overton.

    A textbook wicket for Jack Leach really as the ball finds the edge of Zen Malik's bat and flies straight into the hands of the one and only slip in place.

    It was a simple catch for Overton and Somerset have their first wicket.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Kiran Carlsonpublished at 14:32 BST

    Glamorgan 91-2 v Surrey - target 195

    Coming in after a chaotic run out at 0-1, Kiran Carlson has played calmly.

    The Glamorgan skipper nudges a single to go to his 50.

  3. Can't need more than 200 last sessionpublished at 14:31 BST

    Somerset 208 & 435 v Warks 330 & 30-0 – chasing 314

    Mike Taylor
    BBC WM commentator

    Soon we should get a clearer indication of if they are going to step it up or not, once they get the measure of Jack Leach and had a look at what he’s offering.

    If they have any designs on this, although it would be after tea that you’d expect them to step it up, but you can’t have more than 200 to get in the final session that’s far too many.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:30 BST

    Morgan lbw b Stewart 8 (Kent v Middlesex 85-6 - target 231)

    Kent are moving towards a big win at Canterbury.

    Seb Morgan looks disappointed, maybe with himself or possibly the decision but the ball from Grant Stewart looks to be hitting at least leg stump, if not middle.

    Zafar Gohar is next in. He made 95 in the first innings and Middlesex need something similar.

  5. Postpublished at 14:28 BST

    Somerset 208 & 435 v Warks 330 & 26-0 – chasing 314

    Cut away for four by Rob Yates.

    Short and wide from Alfie Ogborne and that's Yates' first boundary of the innings.

    And he follows it up with another four next ball to take his score from two to 10 in two balls.

    A better ball from the Somerset man it was just well played by Yates.

  6. Five-wicket haul for Fateh Singhpublished at 14:24 BST

    Ahmed c Brookes b Singh 27 (Worcs 388 v Glos 289 & 166-9)

    A special moment for Fateh Singh as he completes a maiden first-class five-fer!

    Another good delivery from round the wicket that Daz Ahmed goes to cut, he edges it and that is well pouched by Ethan Brookes at slip.

    The left-armer is bowling the Pears into a great position on the final day with 5-66 in his 21st over - the very definition of a spinner's job!

  7. Stokes warming up for England returnpublished at 14:20 BST

    Durham 92-2 v Northants - target 296

    Ben Stokes isn't playing in this match - he has been withdrawn from the game by England ahead of his England return at Trent Bridge - but he is here at the Riverside still.

    He has just been batting in the nets with Durham and England team-mate Brydon Carse who is making his way back to fitness from a hand injury sustained in the IPL.

    Stokes's first innings 95 could yet prove invaluable for Durham. Although fans may wish if he was sat in the dressing room padded up to come in at third wicket down as he was on Saturday.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:17 BST

    Tribe c Pope b Chahar 30 (Glamorgan 72-2 v Surrey - target 195)

    Surrey needed that.

    Asa Tribe follows a Rahul Chahar delivery as it spins away from him and gets a big edge into the gloves of Ollie Pope.

    Colin Ingram is the next man in for Glamorgan.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:15 BST

    Van Buuren b Waite 32 (Worcs 388 v Glos 289 & 162-7)

    This feels like a decisive breakthrough for Worcestershire as Graeme van Buuren has to depart.

    Matthew Waite's relentless accuracy is rewarded as he gets one between bat and pad and disturbing the stumps. Waite has now 3-11 in his 14th over.

    The partnership ends at 50 and the lead is only 63 with just Will Williams and Liam Charlesworth to come.

  10. Tribe and Carlson starting to ease nervespublished at 14:13 BST

    Glamorgan 70-1 v Surrey - target 195

    Nick Webb
    BBC Radio Wales

    Glamorgan’s second wicket pair of Asa Tribe and Kiran Carlson are starting to ease the troubled nerves of home supporters with a half-century stand in the sweltering heat.

    A target of 195 in 81 overs may have looked undemanding, but the match momentum was with Surrey after last pair Jordan Clark and Tom Lawes put together a stand of 106.

    That swing continued when Billy Root was run out in a first-over mix-up, and Dan Lawrence caused both batters headaches with his off-spin.

    With the teams below Glamorgan, Leicestershire and Hampshire, both winning, there was talk in the stands of a pivotal moment in the season as the Welsh side aim for consecutive seasons in Division One for the first time.

  11. Postpublished at 14:12 BST

    Somerset 208 & 435 v Warks 330 & 13-0 – chasing 314

    Extras are top-scoring for the Bears so far - eight of those to Rob Yates' one from 18 balls and Zen Malik's four from 12.

    A steady start.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:10 BST

    Lees c Harrison b Conway 39 (Durham 82-2 - Target 296)

    The Mad Badger strikes! Harry Conway induces a false stroke from Durham captain Alex Lees outside off-stump and Calvin Harrison snaffles the chance at second slip.

    It is the 6ft 7in Australian’s fifth wicket of the match and leaves Northants needing another eight for victory.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14:08 BST

    Cracknell c Northeast b Milnes 16 (Kent v Middlesex 70-5 - target 231)

    Kent are jubilant.

    A Matt Milnes delivery hits Joe Cracknell's bat and then loops either off him or Kent wicketkeeper Chris Benjamin into the hands of Sam Northeast at gully.

    Seb Morgan is in for Middlesex who are in deep trouble.

    Just been treated to seeing Ben Stokes walking across the Chester-le-Street ground on his way to the nets. So what was the rush to withdraw him from the match when he could have continued playing and got invaluable match practice?

    Ben Cartwright, Durham

    There is a reason why Overton and T Rew won't play for England any time soon. The selectors don't really fully know that Somerset exists. J Rew only got picked because of a birth.

    Paul Hunt, Somerset

    Worcs 388 v Glos 289 & 162-7

    A rank long hop from Fateh SIngh gets the necessary treatment from Graeme van Buuren. Four more to the total.

    A single from the next ball and that is the 50 partnership off 73 balls. Some welcome fight from the Glosters.

  16. 150 runs

    150 up for Gloucestershirepublished at 14:04 BST

    Worcs 388 v Glos 289 & 157-7

    That is possibly the shot of the match from Daz Ahmed as he unfurls a glorious on-drive to send Beyers Swanepoel to the fence to bring up the 150.

    And two balls later, he produces almost an identical shot to bring up four more.

    All very welcome as Gloucestershire advance 58 runs to the good. The partnership between Ahmed and Graeme van Buuren is now a useful 45.

  17. Postpublished at 14:02 BST

    Glamorgan 57-1 v Surrey - target 195

    A huge appeal from Dan Lawrence and Ollie Pope as Kiran Carlson goes for a reverse sweep which he misses and the ball loops into the air where Pope takes a catch.

    Was there a glove or an under edge?

    Replays seem to intimate it has rolled up his thigh pad without a touch - looks a good decision from the umpire.

  18. Postpublished at 14:00 BST

    Somerset 208 & 435 v Warks 330 & 1-0 – chasing 314

    Warwickshire openers Rob Yates and Zen Malik are beginning their second innings in the Somerset sunshine.

    I think the early stages of the afternoon will tell us how the Bears will go about this.

  19. No Stokes and Atkinsonpublished at 13:59 BST

    So Surrey are really searching for a breakthrough as Glamorgan chase just 195. Perhaps they could go with the guy who took 4-61 in the first innings.

    While Durham would feel better about their pursuit of 296 if their hard-hitting number five who scored 95 on Saturday was still in the hutch.

    Alas for these two sides, Gus Atkinson and England captain Ben Stokes were taken off the naughty step halfway through these games to be wrapped in cotton wool for the decider with New Zealand at Trent Bridge.

    It's a move that somehow feels wrong for the integrity of Championship cricket.

    Caleb Falconer takes a Hasan Mahmud bouncer on the helmet.

    We will need the concussion protocol to check the Middlesex man is fit to continue.

    He is good to go.
