Chris Woakes celebrated his call-up to the England squad in style, taking 9-36 in a stunning spell as Warwickshire bowled Durham out for 190 at Edgbaston.
Having started the day on 273-8, Jeetan Patel and Chris Wright took Warwickshire past 300 in the morning session. However, Graham Onions had Patel caught to break their 52-run stand and bowled Wright soon after as the hosts were bowled out for 311, Andrew Umeed top-scoring with 101.
Durham openers Mark Stoneman and Keaton Jennings then put on 62 for the first wicket before Oliver Hannon-Dolby bowled the latter. Durham did advance to 92-1 but Woakes returned and they soon found themselves in trouble at 116-5.
The all-rounder bowled Stoneman (36) and Jack Burnham as well as taking the scalps of Scott Borthwick and Paul Collingwood but he was not done there. The five-for was completed as Michael Richardson nicked through to Tim Ambrose behind the stumps with Ryan Pringle, James Weighell, Brydon Carse and Barry McCarthy also succumbing to Woakes.
Warwickshire did not have it all their own way though as Onions then reduced them to 4-2 in the first over of their second innings before they closed on 15-2, a lead of 138.
Alviro Petersen hit a century as Lancashire built up a 151-run lead over Surrey on day two at Old Trafford; Ashley Giles' side eventually reaching 342-9 at stumps, in reply to Surrey's 191 all out.
The Red Rose county began the day on 16-0 and Tom Smith reached his half-century before lunch as he and Haseeb Hameed made serene progress in the morning session, taking Lancashire to 90 without loss.
Smith (59), Hameed (44) and Luke Procter (two) fell in quick succession after the break though to leave the hosts 115-3. However, Petersen and Steve Croft ensured the wobble did not descent into a full blown collapse and the pair pushed Lancashire on to 212-3 at tea.
They kicked on again in the evening session with Petersen, in particular, upping the tempo. The South African went through to his first ton of the campaign before he was finally caught behind for 105 from 108 balls. Croft fell to Tom Curran (3-64) for 42 and another burst of wickets left Lancashire nine down at the close.
Hampshire lead Nottinghamshire by 171 runs going into day three at the Ageas Bowl with the visitors precariously placed at 99-5 at stumps.
Earlier, a half-century from Tom Alsop helped Hampshire advance from 149-4 at the start of play to 228-6 at lunch - Luke Fletcher bowling Sean Ervine (42) and Harry Gurney having Adam Wheater (19) caught behind.
Gurney (4-61) was back among the wickets in the afternoon session, nicking out Alsop (72) before adding the wickets of Ryan McLaren and Tino Best as Hampshire were bowled out for 270.
The hosts came out firing though and struck twice in the first five overs of the Notts innings, Best having Steven Mullaney caught second ball and Jake Libby run out for two to leave Mick Newell's side 8-2.
Michael Lumb and Brendan Taylor added 45 for the third wicket but McLaren (3-17) accounted for both of them and also removed Samit Patel to reduce Nottinghamshire to 72-5; Riki Wessels and Chris Read seeing them through the remainder of the day.
Sam Robson and Nick Gubbins both went past 50 as Middlesex finished on 139-0, in reply to Somerset's 376 at Lord's.
Somerset lost three quick wickets early on day two with neither Chris Rogers (109) nor James Hildreth (68) able to add many to their overnight totals, Tim Murtagh (5-53) claiming both their wickets as well as that of Jim Allenby (0).
Peter Trego and Lewis Gregory helped Somerset to regroup though and took their side through to 307-5 at lunch. The partnership reached 113 in the afternoon session before Trego was bowled by Murtagh, sparking a collapse that saw Somerset bowled out for 376 - Gregory the ninth wicket to fall having made 49.
Robson and Gubbins made a positive start in response, taking Middlesex to 49-0 at tea, and ploughed on in the evening session, reaching stumps unbeaten on 67 and 65, respectively.
