Warwickshire 292 v Lancashire 255-6

Hello!

Danny Lamb suddenly goes on the charge, striking Liam Norwell for a four, followed by back-to-back sixes at the end of the over.

Lamb moves from two to 18 and the deficit is quickly down to 37.

We're into the last chance saloon for bonus points in this match, with 108 overs bowled.

Somerset need a wicket to claim a second bowling point, while Surrey - in theory - would bag a fourth batting point if they score 29 from these next two overs.

Unlikely that Jacks and Clark will go all out for that, you feel - their main concern is to extend Surrey's innings for as long as possible, with the lead currently standing at 141.

Steven Croft moves into the 80s.

Can Lancashire squeeze out any sort of first-innings lead at Edgbaston? They trail by 55 with four wickets remaining.

Hampshire have a couple of experienced heads at the crease in Ben Brown and Liam Dawson.

They've just calmed things down after Nick Gubbins fell straight after tea.

Surrey have begun to accelerate again, with Jordan Clark taking a positive approach and Will Jacks despatching Marchant de Lange to the boundary three times in one over.

Jacks has advanced to 74 not out, with Clark on 25 and Surrey have now stretched their advantage over Somerset to 122.

Nottinghamshire's Ben Duckett has just gone to a fabulous century off just 112 deliveries. Notts are 235-2 in a high-scoring game at Leicestershire.

After running through Derbyshire's lower order to bowl them out for 229, Middlesex are 44-1 in their second innings, leading by 66.

Worcestershire debutant Taylor Cornall was out without scoring against Durham after they racked up 642-7 declared. The Pears have recovered to 54-1.

Colin Ingram has brought up his century for Glamorgan. They're 192-1 replying to Sussex's 376 all out, with Eddie Byrom also going nicely on 72.

The onus is probably on Gloucestershire, who are bottom of the table, to try and force the pace at Canterbury.

In fairness to the visitors' stand-in captain Ryan Higgins, he's rotated the bowling and varied his fields as well - but so far nothing has unlocked this Kent partnership.

Daniel Bell-Drummond has been relatively subdued since tea, adding just a single to reach 87, while Ben Compton is 55 not out.

Somerset 180 v Surrey 258-5

That's a half-century for Will Jacks - his 11th in first-class cricket - as he steers Peter Siddle away for two on the leg side.

If Jacks can convert that 50 into a ton, Surrey could yet build a decisive lead here.

They're back out for the final session on day two in Southampton.

You feel Hampshire can't really afford to lose more than two wickets in the session or they'll be in all sorts of bother.

Kent 151-1 v Gloucestershire 438

Ben Compton's golden summer continues - the Kent opener has notched up another half-century, his fifth of the season to go with four hundreds, just before the tea interval.

Compton and Daniel Bell-Drummond, who is unbeaten on 86, batted right through the afternoon session and looked comfortable against the Gloucestershire attack as they advanced to 151-1, still 287 behind.

Nick Gubbins walks off with 58 precious runs under his belt.

But his side still have a lot to do to get themselves back into this game. They're still trailing by 318 runs.

Somerset are still very much up against it, despite removing Rory Burns - playing down the wrong line against the very first ball of a Roelof van der Merwe spell - for 113.

Will Jacks has picked up where his captain left off, and the new ball has so far offered little threat on a pitch offering much less to the seamers than it did yesterday.

With Cameron Steel also looking good, it promises to be a wearisome final session for Somerset's bowlers and fielders in the glorious Taunton sunshine.

Much as this morning belonged to Sussex so this afternoon has firmly belonged to the hosts

Glamorgan has taken the attack to Sussex with Colin Ingram in particular with an array of wonderful shots all around the wicket.

This game is very much alive and Glamorgan could be within a hundred of Sussex at the close at their current rate of scoring

Lancashire added 125 runs in the afternoon losing two wickets along the way with Steven Croft the focal point of the innings.

He's unbeaten on 65 and now enjoying a second successive 50 partnership, first adding 69 with Dane Vilas and now and unbeaten 56 with Rob Jones (28*).

It's been a fascinating day's cricket, Warwickshire very much in the game and seem to keep chipping away. Lancashire are 95 runs behind with six wickets remaining and it's still hard to call which team will end with a first-innings lead.
