Lancashire v Gloucestershire, Warwickshire v Essex and more: county cricket – live!

LIVE – Updated at 17:14

County Championship: Join Tanya Aldred for updates from around the grounds on day three of the latest round of matches.

I’d better write up, keep an eye on proceedings for me.

Salt leaps to catch a bluebird, as Dent attempts to cut a ball he’ll wish he hadn’t.

In Division Two.

CHESTER LE STREET: Definitely not as planned for Durham who have lost three for 18 and are 85-5, still 173 behind Nottinghamshire’s vast first innings.

NEW ROAD: Worcestershire running through Sussex, who still need another 116 to avoid an innings defeat. Sussex 106-6.

GRACE ROAD: Azad is gone, and with it Leicestershire’s hopes of holding on. Leicestershire 83-3, trail by 235.

Abell no longer. Caught behind for 53.

Round the grounds? Right:

THE OVAL: Tom Abell has made another 50 against Surrey, off just 57 balls. Somerset 129-2 lead 158.

CANTERBURY: Crawley and Compton making a good stab at a hearty reply against Hampshire’s 652-6dec. Kent 49-0 trail by 298.

OLD TRAFFORD: Gloucestershire undergoing a testing time after losing Harris for 7 to Anderson. And as I type, George Balderson replaces Hassan Ali at the Brian Statham end. Gloucs 22-1, trail by 282.

WANTAGE ROAD Northants 8-0 chasing a ridiculous 491 more. Four sessions to survive.

EDGBASTON: Essex have nearly knocked off the deficit, but they’ve only four wickets left. Essex 204-6

The wind is blowing into Richard Illingworth’s back at square leg, his shoulders hunched, his black gloves on, his snood up to his ears. And that’s OUT! Harris goes up on his toes but can’t avoid a ripper which he edges behind for 7. Gloucs 13-1 and Anderson’s first wicket of the season, his 1027th.

Yorkshire have declared. Northants need 499 to win (laugh emoji). George Hill 151 not
