Porter c Foakes b Chahar 1 (Essex 269-9 v Surrey 183)
Five wickets for Rahul Chahar!
Jamie Porter snicks the Indian spinner behind and Essex are nine down.
The hosts lead by 86 at Chelmsford as last man Sam Cook comes to the crease.
Derbyshire 79-3 v Middlesex
We might just add to the 32 overs possible across the opening two days after all...
Worc v Lancs 162-9
The last covers are now being removed and the wicket ends brushed so play can soon get back underway!
Hoorah! Could not be long before another 10 minute delay for innings changeover mind!
Durham 286-7 v Glos 137
Still fairly gloomy up North, but we will get something official told soon after 17.00.
Warks v Notts 193-5
Jordan Thompson back into the attack as the Bears look to break the growing sixth-wicket stand.
Joe Clarke clips a single off his pads to move into the so-called nervous 90s.
He's after a third ton of the season having fallen five short of the mark at the Oval last week.
No swing so far for Thompson.
Sussex 250 v Somerset 202 & 54-0
A little flurry of runs at Hove as Jaydevn Unadkat goes for two boundaries and nine off his sixth over.
Both southpaws individually in the 20s now.
Somerset now lead by six.
Harmer c Worrall b Chahar 8 (Essex 259-8 v Surrey 183)
Essex's eighth wicket goes and it's a fourth for Rahul Chahar.
Simon Harmer is caught by Dan Worrall as he chips the spinner to backward point.
The hosts were 218-3 before tea, they're now 259-8.
Worc v Lancs 162-9
No official update from 16.35 but they are attempting to get some of the sheets off now.
Northants 26-0 v Kent 345
Heart in mouth time for Ricardo Vasconcelos.
He survives a big appeal, joined in by the entire Kent team, for lbw from Matt Milnes as the right-armer angles one in at the lefty.
Doesn't look high, doesn't look leg-side, not sure there was an inside edge.
Seen 'em given... often.
Yorks 263 v Leics 12-0
The rain has got a little steadier here in Scarborough and the umpires are taking the players off.
We've had just 3.4 overs of the evening session, but there are hopes we'll get back on. By all accounts it doesn't look too bad.
Warks v Notts 185-5
Image source, ShutterstockA splendid straight drive down the ground off Olly Hannon-Dalby brings Joe Clarke four more.
Except for a few moments it's been a flawless knock.
He needs one more for 1,000 Championship runs this season.
And there it is! A nudged single into the offside brings up the landmark. Well played, sir!
Northants 22-0 v Kent 345
Matt Milnes and Keith Dudgeon are bending their backs trying to get an early breakthrough.
Showing real application trying to wrestle the initiative back after their side lost eight wickets pretty feebly in the opening session of the day.
Lots of oohs and ahs in the slip cordon but Luke Procter and Ricardo Vasconcelos remain unbowed for now.
Yorks 263 v Leics 12-0
Rishi Patel gets the ball rolling immediately with a first-bal four off Ben Coad.
Harrison Gumbs then drives through the covers for his second boundary off Jack White's first over. A profitable start for the Foxes.
Uh-oh, coats in the crowd are hurriedly being put on.
Glamorgan 149-9 v Hants 162 - match delayed, rain
Play still hasn't resumed after tea at Sophia Gardens - it's raining in Cardiff.
Northants 21-0 v Kent 345
Matt Milnes finds the edge of Luke Procter's bat but the balls flashes low past the dive of Tawanda Muyeye in the slips and races away for four runs.
The over has cost nine runs but Milnes caused a lot of problems in it.
Worc v Lancs 162-9
Still no play after tea with a ground delay at New Road, umpires set to next inspect at 4.35pm.
Yorks 263 v Leics
Leicestershire openers Rishi Patel and Harrison Gumbs are in the middle and ready to begin the reply to Yorkshire's first innings knock of 263.
You'd imagine both camps will be reasonably happy with proceedings so far. The hosts maybe moreso after that late innings rally.
Ben Coad with the new ball.
Warks v Notts 178-5
Lyndon James up and running in some style after tea with a super cover drive from a swinging Olly Hannon-Dalby delivery.
Joe Clarke picks up a single off Ed Barnard
Clarke needs just six more to become the first batter to reach 1,000 Championship runs for the season.
Northants 12-0 v Kent 345
Big appeal for lbw from Keith Dudgeon as he almost cuts Luke Procter in half as he thumps him on the thigh pad with one which straightens up, but it looks a touch high and the verdict is not out.
Essex 248-7 v Surrey 183
Essex resume batting after tea having lost those four quick wickets before the interval.
Shane Snater has joined Simon Harmer in the middle.
