County cricket: Notts stall Surrey charge, Hampshire win at Lancs – as it happened

8.34pm BST

Roundup: McCann's century stalls Surrey charge

Teenager Freddie McCann’s maiden century in his third first-class innings helped Nottinghamshire avoid the follow-on in their County Championship Division One match against title-chasing Surrey . The 19-year-old batter made 154, with 17 fours, as the hosts posted 405 in reply to Surrey’s mammoth 525, despite a career-best seven for 129 from visiting spinner Will Jacks. Leaders Surrey ended the third day at Trent Bridge 133 runs ahead on 13 for one, Dom Sibley the man out.

Hampshire beat Lancashire by an innings and 37 runs with a day to spare at Old Trafford to boost their hopes of a top-two finish. Having dismissed the hosts for 200 in their first innings and enforced the follow-on, the visitors bowled Keaton Jennings’ side out a second time for 152. Liam Dawson took five for 52 to finish with match figures of 10 for 99 and Mohammad Abbas bagged three for 18. Luke Wells offered the only significant resistance for the home side with 53.

Somerset were also on course for victory over Durham at Taunton as they look to keep Surrey within their sights. After Jack Leach’s five for 124 had seen Durham dismissed for 336 in their first innings, Somerset raced to 263 for five before declaring and setting the visitors a massive 420 runs to win. Durham then lost Ben McKinney, Alex Lees and Scott Borthwick cheaply to slump to 15 for three at stumps.

Jake Libby, Brett D’Oliveira and Adam Hose all passed 50 as Worcestershire made sure Essex would have to bat again in their rollercoaster match at Chelmsford. When bad light ended play 20 overs early on day three, the visitors had turned a 138-run first-innings deficit into a 165-run lead. Libby laid the foundations for the recovery with 65 at the top of the order but it was an 80-run stand for the sixth wicket between D’Oliveira (51) and Hose (64) that gave Worcestershire hope of securing a third successive victory.

Warwickshire banked their first victory of the season after beating rock-bottom Kent by an innings and 21 runs well inside three days at Edgbaston. Kent were bowled out in their second innings for 243 as Warwickshire’s seamers completed the demolition job they started in the first innings. Bowled out for 156 first time round, Kent mustered little more at their second attempt even on an easing pitch as Oliver Hannon-Dalby took six for 43, finishing with nine for 74 in the match.

In Division Two , Leicestershire ’s international pair Ajinkya Rahane and Peter Handscomb battled to give their side a chance of saving the game after Glamorgan ’s Colin Ingram had continued his batting masterclass. Rahane was 47 not out and Handscomb unbeaten on 33 with Leicestershire 144 for three, trailing by 155, when bad light stopped play with 21.2 scheduled overs remaining. That was after Glamorgan had declared on 550 for nine, with a lead of 299, Ingram unbeaten on a personal-best 257.

Centurion Ryan Higgins reached 1,000 County Championship runs as Middlesex batted themselves to an almost certain draw against promotion rivals Yorkshire at Headingley. Unbeaten all-rounder Higgins top-scored with 117, with opener Sam Robson making 108, in Middlesex’s 441 for five in reply to Yorkshire’s 601 for six declared. PA Media

That’s all from me today. I’ll leave you in the capable hands of Dominic Booth tomorrow. A roundup from PA Media will follow.

6.45pm BST

Close of play at Taunton

Somerset have made great progress late on, taking three wickets in quick succession. Play will resume tomorrow at 11am.

6.40pm BST

Somerset are off to a fine start. Their decision to declare is paying off so far as their spinners, led by Archie Vaughan, are causing Durham all sorts of problems. It’s 15-3.

6.36pm BST

Close of play at Hove

Derbyshire have ended the day on 142-2. They still trail Sussex by 176 runs with Harry Came 54 not out.

6.12pm BST

50 for Harry Came at Hove.

6.09pm BST

Close of play at Sophia Gardens

The will they won’t they is over. The umpires have finally decided to call it a day.

6.07pm BST

Stumps at Headingley

Ryan Higgins finishes unbeaten on 117 as Middlesex remain 160 runs behind Yorkshire.

6.04pm BST

Close of play at Chelmsford

It’s stumps in Chelmsford as Worcestershire have taken this one to the final day. They’re 303-8 and leading Essex by 165 runs.

6.01pm BST

Play will resume at 6:05pm at Taunton

The umpires have decided that play is OK to resume despite the sky looking just as dark as it did an hour ago. We will have 14 overs, weather permitting, presumably with lots of spin. Somerset have declared so Durham need 419 runs to chase them down.

Updated at 6.01pm BST

5.50pm BST

Play suspended at Sophia Gardens

I wonder why the umpires asked the players to come back out after the initial break. Only 10 balls were bowled after play was resumed and now the players are forced to stop again. Surely they’ll close the play.

5.44pm BST

Play has resumed at Sophia Gardens

There are 22 overs remaining in theory. Leicestershire are 144-3.

5.39pm BST

10 wickets for Liam Dawson!

5.38pm BST

Hampshire beat Lancashire by an innings and 37 runs

It’s a resounding victory for Hampshire and an even worse day for Gary Naylor. Hampshire’s first innings score of 389 was too much for Lancashire to reach as they suffer consecutive defeats in the Championship for the first time since 1907.

5.34pm BST

5.31pm BST

To make matters worse, it’s raining in Chelmsford. You would have thought it was the last day of August.

5.27pm BST

Close of play at Trent Bridge

That’s all from Trent Bridge today. Play will resume at 11am tomorrow.

5.23pm BST

Meanwhile, Ryan Higgins has scored a century for Middlesex.

5.22pm BST

Bad light stops play at Trent Bridge

In case you needed a reminder that summer is over and autumn is here, county cricket has provided it for you.

5.20pm BST

Bad light stops play at Sophia Gardens

What a shame. Spot the games which are still being played.

5.06pm BST

Gary Naylor isn’t having a great day:

“Do you fancy being a Lancashire supporting Evertonian? Because I sure don’t.”

I feel for you, Gary. That Everton collapse was remarkable. To make things worse, Lancashire are trailing Hampshire by 42 runs in their second innings.

5.02pm BST

Bad light has also stopped play at Chelmsford

The players trot off with Worcestershire 303-8.

5.00pm BST

Earlier, play resumed at Hove. Derbyshire are 60-1.

4.57pm BST

Bad light stops play at Taunton

The players have walked off and the umpires are having a long discussion about how safe it is to resume play. The sky is particularly gloomy as the floodlights shine on the field.

4.41pm BST

And Nottinghamshire are all out for 405. There’ll be a short break before Surrey head back out to bat again.

4.39pm BST

Kyle Verreynne has scored 50 runs for Nottinghamshire as they’re down to their last batters. Farhan Ahmed is Verreynne’s batting partner.

Updated at 4.39pm BST

4.36pm BST

The commentators at Taunton are discussing what one of the spectators has come dressed as. They’re debating whether the man’s green animal outfit is a grasshopper, a moth, a cricket. It must be the latter.

4.33pm BST

Jack Davies has reached a half-century for Middlesex.

4.31pm BST

Tom Abell scored 50 runs for Somerset … before being bowled by Bas de Leede.

Updated at 4.31pm BST

4.27pm BST

Bad light has also stopped play at Sophia Gardens. Leicestershire are 111-3 in their second innings, still 118 runs behind Glamorgan.

4.23pm BST

Tea time has been extended at Hove because of some dark clouds. Rain is forecast overnight but it seems the bad weather has come early.

4.17pm BST

Nottinghamshire are back out after tea and they’re already another wicket down. Lyndon James is out after scoring 23 runs. Nottinghamshire are still 141 runs behind Surrey.

3.52pm BST

Tea time-ish scores

DIVISION ONE

Taunton: Somerset 492 and 209-4 v Durham 336

Edgbaston: Warwickshire 420 v Kent 156 and 243 – Warwickshire won by an innings and 21 runs

Hove: Sussex 607-8d v Derbyshire 290 and 47-1

3.42pm BST

Adam Hose has hit a 50 for Worcestershire against Essex. If he keep this up, we could be in for an intriguing finish.

3.36pm BST

Luke Wells has reached 50 for Lancashire off of 143 balls. Lancashire are picking up runs agonisingly slowly.

3.24pm BST

Last time I checked, it was drizzling at Taunton. The floodlights are on and the spin bowlers are out.

3.20pm BST

Ryan Higgins has hit 50 for Middlesex. They’re still 270 odd behind Yorkshire.

3.17pm BST

Brett D’Oliveira has scored his second 50 of the game.

3.06pm BST

There we go!

3.05pm BST

Will Jacks has taken five wickets for Surrey against Nottinghamshire. After Freddie McCann’s dismissal, Surrey will be confident that they can bowl Nottinghamshire out before the hosts have a chance of reaching 525.

3.00pm BST

As many of you BTL have realised, Joe Root is pretty good at batting. He’s closing in on a second century in this second Test and his 34th Test century for England. 100 runs today would take him past Alistair Cook as the record holder for the most Test centuries for England.

2.52pm BST

Here’s a stat for you. Lancashire have made it to 50 runs in their second innings off of a whopping 250 balls. They still need 139 runs to match Hampshire’s first innings total.

2.35pm BST

2.35pm BST

Just as I was congratulating Freddie McCann, he’s been dismissed for 154. Fresh off reaching 150, he tried to hit his first six of the innings but was caught at long on. What a performance!

2.31pm BST

Freddie McCann has reached 150 runs for Nottinghamshire. A fine showing from the 19-year-old. Way to go about hitting your first century!

2.27pm BST

Jack Haynes has scored 50 for Nottinghamshire.

2.23pm BST

Nottinghamshire have been awarded five penalty runs. According to the commentary team at Trent Bridge, Surrey have been penalised for throwing the ball at a player in a dangerous manner. One of Surrey’s fielders threw the ball dangerously close to Freddie McCann’s head, with the umpire deeming it a level 2 offence.

Updated at 2.36pm BST

2.16pm BST

Sussex have enforced a follow-on against Derbyshire. Derbyshire’s batters will need to drastically improve to avoid losing by an innings.

2.01pm BST

Lancashire are struggling in their second innings against Hampshire. They’re 39-3, still trailing Hampshire’s first innings total by 150 runs, as Rocky Flintoff has been dismissed for eight.

Updated at 2.01pm BST

1.49pm BST

While I was enjoying my lunch, Sussex bowled Derbyshire out for 290. Derbyshire trail Sussex by 317 runs.

1.00pm BST

Warwickshire beat Kent

Warwickshire record their first victory of the season by bowling Kent out for 243 in their second innings. The final score is Warwickshire 420 v Kent 156 and 243. Kent are failing to put up much of a fight at the bottom of the table.

12.54pm BST

Glamorgan have decided to declare so Colin Ingram won’t make it another triple century just yet. Glamorgan end the innings with 550 runs, giving them a lead of of 299 over Leicestershire.

Updated at 12.55pm BST

12.51pm BST

Jake Libby has made it to 50 for Worcestershire.

12.47pm BST

What a day for Freddie McCann as he hits his maiden first-class century. The 19-year-old, perhaps inspired by Ahmed’s heroics, keeps Nottinghamshire going.

12.43pm BST

Wayne Madsen has scored 100 as Derbyshire try to cling on against Sussex. They’re still 363 runs behind with two wickets remaining.

12.35pm BST

Some jinxing from Gary Naylor:

“I’m going to jinx him now, but Colin Ingram has a chance of notching Glamorgan’s second triple century of the season after Sam Northeast’s (also in a Kookaburra match) at Lord’s. That can’t have happened often in a Championship campaign can it?”

Updated at 12.37pm BST

12.34pm BST

Huge score for Colin Ingram at Sophia Gardens.

12.29pm BST

Somerset have started their second innings at Taunton.

Updated at 12.30pm BST

12.21pm BST

Earlier, Sam Robson hit 100 for Middlesex. At 201-2, they’re still a long way from Yorkshire’s 601 total, but Robson will be chuffed with his third century of the season.

12.15pm BST

12.14pm BST

Somerset have bowled Durham out 336, giving them a lead of 156. Before, Jack Leach achieved a five-wicket haul to bowl Durham out, Brydon Carse reached a century for Durham. Lewis Gregory has not enforced a follow-on and Somerset will bat again.

Updated at 12.16pm BST

12.01pm BST

Shortly after reaching 50 runs, Max Holden has been caught out. He edged Dom Bess’ delivery into the hands of the wicketkeeper.

Preamble

MA. Welcome to CCLive. I’m picking up the lingo already.

It’s an overcast day here in London. But more importantly, it’s dry across the rest of the country so we should be in for another fine day of county cricket.

Farhan Ahmed’s seven-wicket haul for Nottinghamshire was the big story yesterday. The 16-year-old became the youngest player in first-class cricket history in England to take five wickets or more. Yet his best efforts may all be in vain as Surrey racked up 525 runs. I’ll provide you with updates from that game as well as Somerset v Durham and the latest from the rest of the grounds.
