Sussex 250-5 v Notts 240
Sussex reach 250 and that's the only batting point for a Division One side in this round of fixtures.
As an Essex fan, my thoughts are that Hampshire could yet pull off a remarkable Houdini act and stay in the division at our expense
Andrew, Chelmsford
If Yorkshire can get 120+ lead could be a winning score
Darren, Hull
What we need is for Warwickshire to rattle these runs off tonight and then two days of solid rain across the country

I note the push for Craig Overton to be considered for international recognition. There is no doubt that with three centuries this year he would add to the batting strength but I am afraid his bowling is not good enough. When he did play his bowling average was over 35

Leicestershire 244 v Hampshire 224 & 225-2
Nathan Gilchrist gets a drive and miss out of Jake Lehmann outside off stump.
A shorter ball is short arm pulled to mid-wicket for one.
Nick Gubbins defends.
He's now on 112 in a knock spanning 211 deliveries and just under four hours of concentration.
Sussex 249-5 v Notts 240
Sussex have moved into the lead over Notts, steadily going along.
But John Simpson almost goes! He comes down the track to Liam Patterson-White and misses it. But crucially, wicketkeeper Mitch Hay also misses it as it spins sharply inside him.
Sussex are nine ahead.
Root c Thomas b Worrall 11 (Surrey 115 v Glamorgan 132 & 313-5)
A deserved wicket for Dan Worrall and Adam Thomas takes his fourth slip catch of the innings at the Oval.
It was a nothing shot from Billy Root, though, and he'll be disappointed if he sees it on video.
Glamorgan lead by 330 as Chris Cooke comes to the crease.
Yorkshire 212 & 78-6 v Somerset 201
A late leave from George Hill - facing Craig Overton.
A short ball passes his thigh pad down the leg side.
Hill drives and squirts the ball out to point. No run and Overton looks decidedly unimpressed.
Maiden over.
Stanley b Milnes 1 (Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 192)
Full, fast and straight from Matt Milnes to Mitch Stanley. And that's that for Lancashire's second innings.
Milnes, Khaled Ahmed and Keith Dudgeon take three wickets apiece.
Is that enough of a target to defend for the visitors? Gut instinct says probably not but it is a funny old game...
Kent need 140 runs to win and keep their promotion hopes alive going into the final match of the season.
Warwickshire 53-0 – target 133
A second six of the innings for Zen Malik off Zaman Akhter gets the Bears past 50 and brings the runs needed down to 80.
Malik and Yates have been largely untroubled so far.
There are nine overs left in the day should the Bears really want to finish things tonight - they don't need to of course.
Yorkshire 212 & 78-6 v Somerset 201
There's still something in this pitch with the older ball as Dom Bess does a little bit of gardening between deliveries in the Migael Pretorius over.
Full and driven past Archie Vaughan by Dom Bess for four.
89 in front.
Surrey 115 v Glamorgan 132 & 305-4
Glamorgan need to push this lead as far as they can because bowling Surrey out on a flattening pitch is unlikely to be as easy as it was on day one.
Another full toss outside off stump from Tom Lawes and Billy Root puts it away for four.
Hampshire 214 & 221-2 v Leicestershire 244

Image source, Rex FeaturesNick Gubbins has scored a vital century in this game
Hampshire have struggled all season with the bat, managing just four batting bonus points - but here, they are batting with focus and diligence.
Nick Gubbins has batted superbly for his century. It's been an innings of patience and fluid strokeplay. He has, unlike most batsman in this game, resisted the urge to move right across his stumps to field difficult balls, batting in a more textbook fashion.
He's been ably supported by Felix Organ, Toby Albert and now their top run-scorer Jake Lehmann.
Any more than 270 or 280 to chase and the Foxes might be in trouble,
Hampshire might be building towards victory here - and that might be a devastating blow to Leicestershire's chances of survival - points deduction or no points deduction.
Leicestershire 244 v Hampshire 214 & 222-2
Leicestershire's spin duo of Rehan Ahmed and Ajaz Patel have restored a bit of control to this innings without quite finding the breakthrough.
Now Nathan Gilchrist will have a bowl. The seamer goes full and Nick Gubbins drives for a single. He's on 111, which would be most inconvenient for the superstitious.
Jake Lehmann almost plays on as the ball is jammed between boot and inside edge.
He gets a single to backward point. Eight overs left here tonight.
Hurst c Bell-Drummond b Dudgeon 27 (Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 192-9)
Matty Hurst has tried to go for it for Lancashire but it proves to be his undoing.
A two, a four and a six from Keith Dudgeon's over... and then out.
Hurst takes a big swing across the line and skies it to Daniel Bell-Drummond in the covers who makes no mistake.
And now 44-year-old Jimmy Anderson gets a round of applause from the Canterbury crowd as he comes to the crease. Who doesn't love Sir Jimmy?
Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 192-8
Keith Dudgeon with the full toss on leg stump... dispatched by Matty Hurst.
He smashes it over deep square leg for six. Lancashire need a few more of those.
Yorkshire 212 & 72-6 v Somerset 201
Another fine delivery from Craig Overton, drawing Dom Bess forward into a late leave as the ball nips away off the seam.
A push into the on side brings a tight but manageable single.
83 ahead.
Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 184-8
Matty Hurst sends one very high into the Canterbury sky from Keith Dudgeon and it goes for a one-bounce four.
Is that a sign that Hurst is going to go for it for Lancashire now?
Kent 214 v Lancashire 161 & 180-8
Brilliant yorker by Matt Milnes to Mitch Stanley and there's a huge appeal for lbw from the Kent field.
But Stanley just about got some bat on it and the not out decision is the correct one.
Yorkshire 212 & 71-6 v Somerset 201
LBW shout for Migael Pretorius as George Hill misses an attempted scoop to leg. Not out. Too leg side and probably an inside edge.
Leicestershire 244 v Hampshire 214 & 218-2
10 runs come off the latest Rehan Ahmed over.
Nick Gubbins is back and across to whip the leg spinner through mid-wicket.
Three balls later Jake Lehmann crunches a drive off a full ball through cover point.
Sussex 238-5 v Notts 240
Tom Price sweeps Liam Patterson-White for four.
And now Joe Clarke is having trouble finding the ball after it rolled under the fence on the boundary...
We might need a new ball in a minute... we do indeed need a new ball.
How did nobody see where it went? Gotta laugh.
