Jon Culley at Notts 246-5 v Derbyshire
It’s all got a bit on-off here, but in the way of modern cricket even though we’ve lost an hour and a quarter while it was raining or the groundstaff were drying things off, only six overs have been trimmed off the day’s schedule. Which means that the finish time will be around 6.50pm if it doesn’t rain again. Good for Derbyshire but less so for Notts, who are effectively 112-5 and down to their last two genuine batsmen. Michael Lumb was the fifth man out, caught at short leg pushing at one from Jeevan Mendes. - Live Update

Hampshire 515 lead Warwickshire 254-9 by 261 runsJonathan Trott collected in on a potentially match saving century as Warwickshire frustrated Hampshire for a second session.Trott led the tail to a stunning fight back to reach 254 for nine at tea, having begun the day on 49 for six.Trott, who missed the second day having returned home for a family emergency, guided an 104 run stand with Keith Barker for the eighth wicket.Barker scored a patient 63 before Sean Ervine, bowling off spin, had him caught at first slip, before Boyd Rankin was bowled by Mason Crane.That brought Sunny Singh to Trott’s side having never scored a first class run in his previous two innings.But the pair added 54 unbeaten runs for the final wicket, with Trott reaching his three figures from 210 balls. - ECB Reporters Network

Middlesex 229-5 trail Somerset 443-9 dec by 214 runsAdam Voges and Paul Stirling put on 101 for the fourth wicket but champions Middlesex still found themselves up against it on 229 for 5 at tea as Somerset enjoyed the better of the third day’s first two sessions at Lord’s.Wickets for Tim Groenewald, Lewis Gregory and Peter Trego initially reduced Middlesex from their overnight 42 without loss to 116 for 3 in reply to Somerset’s 443 for 9 declared in the Specsavers County Championship Division One match.But Voges, with 82 not out, and Stirling, off the mark with a six over cover off Josh Davey and later swinging Gregory high over mid wicket for six in his 77-ball 52, then counter-attacked with a mixture of watchful defence and powerful strokes.Stirling, however, after also hitting six fours, edged the pacy Jamie Overton to keeper Steven Davies and, armed with the second new ball, Davey almost immediately produced another beauty to have John Simpson caught behind for 2. Middlesex were left grateful that Voges remained unbeaten at the interval, despite being beaten all ends up by a terrific leg-cutter from Davey.Earlier, opener Nick Gubbins hit 56 but was out just before lunch when Trego moved one back into left-hander’s pads to have him lbw with one that also seemed to keep a little low. - ECB Reporters Network

Durham 290-6 lead Northants by 114 runsA maiden century by Cameron Steel kept Durham afloat against Northamptonshire at Chester-le-Street as they reached 290 for six at tea on the third day, leading by 118.
Steel was on 94 when Northants turned to the occasional left-arm spin of Chesney Hughes and his first ball, a juciy full toss, was whacked over long-on for six.
It took a jubilant Steel to his hundred off 166 balls with 14 fours, and a second six followed off another Hughes full toss as the 21-year-old batsman reached 117 at tea.
Durham were still 74 adrift when Steel was joined by Paul Collingwood on 98 for four, but after being dropped on nought the skipper contributed 54 to a stand of 143.
He was unable to cash in on a stroke of fortune on 50 when a ball from Rory Kleinveldt nipped back and brushed the off stump. Collingwood started to walk before realising the bail, although slightly dislodged, had not come off.
The pitch flattened after the first hour and Steel grew in confidence, cutting strongly and playing sweetly off his legs as his second 50 came off only 63 balls.
Michael Richardson departed for 14 just before tea when he attempted an ambitious pull off Nathan Buck in the sixth over of the new ball. He edged it to Adam Rossington. - ECB Reporters Network
