  2. 'Glamorgan have impressed'published at 19:07 BST 3 May

    Hampshire 118-5 (trail Glamorgan by 204)

    Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    I've been really impressed with Glamorgan both with bat and ball.

    I think they've been tremendously disciplined with the bat and the bowling has just been right.

    They've got bowlers that have got all angles covered on this pitch. It would be a different game on a different of course but you can only what's in front of you and they've had the right bowlers.

  3. Close of play at Southamptonpublished at 19:07 BST 3 May

    Hants 214 & 118-5 f/o v Glam 536-7d

    That is that at the Utilita Bowl as Felix Organ fends off the last few deliveries from Ryan Hadley.

    Ben Brown (17) and Organ (6) walk off the field unbeaten but it is safe to say Hants hopes of getting anything from this contest are not in the same shape.

    It has been a disappointing day for the hosts but a great one for Glamorgan who have now dominated each of the three days to date.

    Starting the day with 20 Hants wickets to take they have taken 15 of them and made their hosts follow-on.

    Timm van der Gugten took 4-53 in the first innings and 2-31 in the second. He has been backed up by a supporting cast including returning Hampshire favourite Mason Crane who has taken four wickets on the day.

    With a lead of 204 and just five wickets to take Glamorgan look well on track for only their fourth top flight win and a first not only of this season but since since 2005.

    If it comes they will be good value for it.

  4. Close of play at Canterburypublished at 19:03 BST 3 May

    Kent v Derbyshire 19-1 (target 384)

    Matt Milnes removed Derbyshire opener Caleb Jewell with what proved to be the final ball of day three.

    Kent will be favourites heading into day four, needing another nine wickets for victory.

  5. Close of play at Tauntonpublished at 19:02 BST 3 May

    Yorks 365-9 (lead Somerset by 253 runs)

    Well, what a strange end to the day.

    With two balls remaining, the floodlights go off. Apparently, that's due to local regulations meaning they can't be on beyond 18:59 BST.

    And that also means the umpires have to take the players from the field.

    So Yorkshire have seen out the day and look like setting Somerset a testing target tomorrow.

    What a day we'll have at Taunton.

  6. Close of play at Lord'spublished at 19:02 BST 3 May

    Middlesex 430 v Durham 530-8

    Durham finish day three with a lead of 100.

    Centuries from Emilio Gay and David Bedingham, and 99 from Kasey Aldridge have driven the visitors' innings.

    They're the only side with a realistic chance of victory now in this Division Two encounter.

  7. Close of play at The Ovalpublished at 19:00 BST 3 May

    Sussex 76-4 (trail Surrey by 188 runs)

    Seven runs come off the final over at The Oval, as Charlie Tear on-drives Reece Topley for four.

    Dan Hughes remains unbeaten on 37.

    It's been a painful day for Sussex - metaphorically with both ball and bat, and literally for Tom Haines, who went off retired hurt after being hit with the first delivery of his side's second innings.

    Surrey have exploited tired bodies and minds to full effect, and are now strong favourites to win for the first time this season.

  8. NORTHANTS BEAT WORCESTERSHIREpublished at 18:57 BST 3 May
    Breaking

    Northants (597-7 dec) beat Worcestershire (306 & 114) by an innings & 177 runs

    James Sales, with an unbeaten 146 in Northants' only innings, takes the final wicket as he traps Oliver Hannon-Dalby lbw.

    Worcestershire are skittled for just 114 to lose by a massive margin.

    Ben Sanderson takes all the plaudits with 7-31 and 11 wickets in the match.

  9. Final over at Tauntonpublished at 18:57 BST 3 May

    Yorks 363-9 (lead Somerset by 251 runs)

    Can Somerset find the final breakthrough in the last over?

    Can Jhye Richardson go to his 50? He's four runs away.

    Craig Overton to bowl it.

  10. Postpublished at 18:55 BST 3 May

    Hants 214 &116-5 f/o v Glam 536-7d

    Felix Organ ducks out of the way of a couple of leg side bouncers from Ryan Hadley and there are now just two overs for Hants to negotiate.

    Mason Crane will bowl the first of them and watches as his second delivery is nudged by Ben Brown for a single.

    Asa Tribe goes in close at silly mid off/cover. A single off the last ball puts Organ on strike again for the last.

  11. Final over at The Ovalpublished at 18:53 BST 3 May

    Sussex 69-4 (trail Surrey by 195 runs)

    Six legal deliveries remain on day three at The Oval. Reece Topley will send them down.

    Daniel Hughes is 36 not out, Charlie Tear has three to his name.

  12. Postpublished at 18:53 BST 3 May

    Sussex 69-4 (trail Surrey by 195 runs)

    Dan Lawrence continues to bowl well. He gets one to go through Charlie Tear's gate but it misses the off stump.

  13. 'Brilliant bowling by Lawrence'published at 18:52 BST 3 May

    Sussex 61-4, trail Surrey by 203

    Mark Church
    BBC Radio London commentator

    Brilliant bit of bowling by Dan Lawrence and that's why Rory Burns got him into the attack.

    It was a good catch by Jamie Smith at the second grab.

  14. Yorkshire lead by 250published at 18:45 BST 3 May

    Yorks 362-9 (lead Somerset by 250 runs)

    Craig Overton induces a thick edge from Jack White but it goes down to the third man boundary.

    Somerset will need upwards of 250 now to win this game.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 18:44 BST 3 May

    Swanepoel c & b Sanderson 8 (Worcs 103-9 v Northants)

    Seven wickets for Ben Sanderson!

    Beyers Swanepeol offers a return catch which Sanderson claims. The Northants seamer now has figures of 7-31.

    This will almost certainly be done tonight with the Pears still trailing by 188.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 18:43 BST 3 May

    Simpson c Smith b Lawrence 13 (Sussex 61-4, trail Surrey by 203)

    Dan Lawrence has got rid of John Simpson.

    Bowling round the wicket to the left-hander, he gets the ball in a good area, Simpson props forward and the slight turn catches the edge. Jamie Smith does the rest.

  17. Postpublished at 18:43 BST 3 May

    Yorks 358-9 (lead Somerset by 246 runs)

    Four more for Jhye Richardson. Josh Thomas drops a little short and Richardson cuts it to the boundary.

    Craig Overton returns. Can he end the resistance?

  18. Postpublished at 18:42 BST 3 May

    Hants 112-5 f/o trail by 210 runs

    Mason Crane, back to bowl the sixth last over of the day, nearly gets the wicket of Ben Brown first up as the Hants skipper misses a sweep.

    He connects with the fourth delivery sweeping to midwicket for four.

  19. Change of ballpublished at 18:41 BST 3 May

    Yorks 354-9 (lead Somerset by 242 runs)

    Slight delay at Taunton as the ball, which is 23 overs old, is being replaced.

    Jhye Richardson is 42 not out, Jack White has faced 21 balls without scoring.

    There are six overs remaining in the day.

  20. Postpublished at 18:37 BST 3 May

    Sussex 61-3 (trail Surrey by 203 runs)

    Into the last five overs of the day at The Oval. A day that Sussex won't want to remember.
