Specsavers County Championship Division One: Yorkshire edge ahead of Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire lead by 122 runs with five second-innings wickets in hand going into a fascinating final day of their Specsavers County Championship tie with Yorkshire at Trent Bridge.

Having earlier bowled the visitors out for 290, Yorkshire earning a lead of 29 runs, Notts finished on 151-5, Samit Patel unbeaten on 51.

Yorkshire started the day on 170-4 but Alex Lees fell eight runs short of his century, having added just one to his overnight total before edging a Harry Gurney delivery behind.

Andrew Gale (44) and Adil Rashid took Yorkshire past 200 before the captain became Jake Ball's fourth victim of the innings, caught by Steven Mullaney.

Rashid (19) followed soon after but some big hitting from Liam Plunkett (51) took the visitors past Nottinghamshire's first innings total.

Alex Hales dug in for a 145-ball 34 opening up for Notts before being bowled by a Jack Brooks (1-34) ball that kept low.

Steven Patterson also took 2-17 to add to Yorkshire's advantage before Patel's counter-attacking knock has given hope to Notts for the final day. Watch it live on Sky Sports 2 from 10.55am on Wednesday.

James Anderson (3-72) took three wickets in five balls as Lancashire took charge of their game clash with Somerset, bowling them out for 313 on day three at Taunton.

The hosts were then made to follow on, finishing scoreless one over into their second innings, still 180 runs behind Lancashire.

Ashley Giles' side made the ideal start to the day as Kyle Jarvis (2-56) had Marcus Trescothick caught and bowled for five. Somerset regrouped though, making it to lunch at 101-2 at the interval, Chris Rogers (55) passing fifty.

However, Somerset's innings was thrown into turmoil as Anderson ripped through the middle order shortly after the interval, reducing them to 102-5.

James Hildreth - the last wicket to fall - scored 130 and Jamie Overton 51 to put some gloss on Somerset's score, but it wasn't enough to see them avoid the follow on.

Jack Burnham (135) hit a maiden first-class hundred as Durham ended day three with a 86-run lead over Surrey, closing on 543-7 at the Oval.

Scott Borthwick (77), Michael Richardson (68) and Paul Collingwood (75no) also hit half-centuries as Durham - who began the day on 156-2, 301 runs behind Surrey - dominated Surrey's attack.

Ben Stokes managed only 12, caught and bowled by Zafar Ansari, but Burnham ploughed on and reached his first Championship century off 166 balls.

A century from Dawid Malan, in a partnership of 182 with John Simpson, helped Middlesex post a first innings total of 361 against Hampshire.

Ryan McLaren took 4-74 for the hosts at the Ageas Bowl, but they conceded a first innings lead deficit of 25 runs.

Malan quickly went past 50 in the morning session and had reached his ton before lunch as he and Simpson frustrated the Hampshire attack.

Simpson (65) reached his half-century early in the afternoon session but was unable to convert it, falling to James Tomlinson the over after Malan (121) had been dismissed by Mason Crane.

James Harris (57) and Tim Murtagh (39no) added some quick-fire lower-order runs, before the latter then removed Michael Carberry as Hampshire closed on 76-1 in their second innings.
