Vithushan Ehantharajah at Middlesex 411 v Surrey 313 & 120-2Belting finish in prospect tomorrow. A game that has ebbed and flowed is basically all even now. But Surrey you could argue, with Borthwick and Sangakkara set, are in the ascendancy. They've just brought up their 100 partnership from 33.5 overs to lead by 18. The ease at which they are going about things is making the pitch look flat. Coupled with the sun, which is starting to burn off the last bits of enthusiasm from the Middlesex fielders, it looks a glorious time to bat. Sangakkara looks odds on to leave this match with a century in each innings. He's done so twice before in Test cricket: in March 2013 and February 2014, both against Bangladesh. -

I don't expect anything funny to happen in the Som v Wark game, but Som's batting has been fragile this year and an early wicket or two might put some pressure on and well, who knows... hoping for a nice easy evening of batting though with a few players getting in nick, captain.. cough cough... -

George Dobell at Somerset v Warwickshire (410-8)
Van der Merwe conceded just three runs from the 110th over of the innings to restrict Warwickshire to four batting bonus points. Despite a couple of huge swings from Rikki Clarke – neither of which connected – Warwickshire were unable to score the 8 required off the over to gain the points. Somerset gained two bowling points. Barker fell to a good catch at mid-on and Patel has just bowled after coming down the pitch. - Live Update

Tim Wigmore at Durham 228-5 v Sussex
Some controversy on a somnolent afternoon. Ryan Pringle flicked the ball to fine leg, where David Wiese appeared to take a fine diving catch. But Pringle refused to accept the fielder’s worth, and decided to bat on - to cries of ‘Cheat’ from some disgruntled Sussex fans and the evident chagrin of the fielders. I had a good view of the catch (a perk of sitting on the elevated seats directly behind the bowler’s arm) and to these eyes it looked out. Pringle, though, did not agree, and the umpires did not compel him to leave the field either. Wiese was applauded as vigorously - probably even more so, to make the point - as if he had taken a catch to lead to a dismissal. - Live Update

Glamorgan 154-4 v NottsAt tea on the third day, Glamorgan were 154 for 4 in their second innings, needing a further 107 to avoid an innings defeat. They resumed at 71 for 3 after lunch, before Colin Ingram and Aneurin Donald, with staunch defence and the occasional boundary shared a partnership of 51 for the second wicket. It ended when Donald, who made 36 tried to hit Samit Patel over long on, but was bowled, having attempted a similar shot two balls earlier in the over.Ingram has played responsibly for his undefeated 45, and much will depend on him and David Lloyd who is 16 not out, if Glamorgan are able to reach a sizeable second innings total. - ECB Reporters Network

Warwickshire 391-6 v SomersetJonathan Trott was dismissed for 175 as Warwickshire progressed their first innings to 391 for six at tea on the third day of the Specsavers County Championship match with Somerset at Taunton.Rikki Clarke was unbeaten on 51 at the interval after contributions of 39 from Sam Hain and 63 from Tim Ambrose had helped lay the foundation for a decent total.Tea was taken when Trott fell to a good low catch at backward point by Roelof van der Merwe off Jamie Overton (three for 66), having faced 297 balls and hit 22 fours and 3 sixes.Clarke's half-century occupied only 53 balls and Warwickshire needed nine runs from nine balls at the start of the evening session to claim maximum bonus points. - ECB Reporters Network

Worcestershire 172-0 v Derbyshire 275Daryl Mitchell and Brett D’Oliveira scored their first County Championship fifties of the season to keep alive Worcestershire’s slim hopes of forcing a victory from the rain-hit Division Two match against Derbyshire at Derby.The opening pair have so far added172 in reply to Derbyshire’s first innings of 275 with Mitchell celebrating 10,000 first-class runs for Worcestershire when he got to 87 just before tea.D’Oliveira had scored only 15 runs in his previous four championship innings but he blossomed after a sketchy start, taking four fours off five balls from seamer Tom Taylor although he was given a life on 42 when Ben Slater dropped him at square leg off Shiv Thakor.At the interval, Worcestershire were 103 runs behind with 36 overs left to bowl before stumps with Mitchell on 89 and D’Oliveira 71. - ECB Reporters Network

Lancashire 173-5 v Yorkshire 448-8Shiv Chanderpaul reached 50 for the 213th time in first-class cricket during the third afternoon of the Roses match at Emirates Old Trafford, but Yorkshire remain on top.Lancashire, replying to Yorkshire’s 448 for eight declared, advanced from 67 for 3 at lunch to 173 for 5 at tea, with 58 overs bowled in the innings.Alex Davies fell for 39 to the second ball of the afternoon when he attempted to leave Ryan Sidebottom alone only to feather behind.Chanderpaul and Dane Vilas then shared 67 inside 18 overs for the fifth wicket to steady the ship somewhat.But the latter was Yorkshire’s fifth wicket when he edged Azeem Rafiq’s off-spinners behind as Lancashire fell to leave the score at 135 for five after 42.Chanderpaul reached his fifty off 85 balls to keep the hosts afloat, but they must reach 299 to avoid having to follow-on.He will begin the evening session on 69 not out with Ryan McLaren on 18. - ECB Reporters Network

Tim Wigmore at Durham 215-5 v Sussex
Ryan Pringle and Paul Coughlin have batted with great application and skill to drag Durham back to a position resembling parity. Pringle has just brought up his half-century by on driving Chris Jordan up the slope for four, which is heartily applauded by Paul Collingwood and his team-mates on the Durham balcony. We have a full 30 overs left in the afternoon sunshine. - Live Update
