Worcestershire openers Daryl Mitchell and Brett D'Oliveira put on 243 for the first wicket as the visitors amassed 323-3 to give themselves a 48-run first-innings lead over Derbyshire.

Mitchell made 120 and D'Oliveira 150 after the hosts had added 75 for the loss of the final four wickets to their overnight score to finish on 275 all out.

However, Glamorgan look to be in deep trouble after ending day three at Sophia Gardens still 49 runs adrift of Nottinghamshire's first-innings total of 448 with only five wickets remaining.

South African Colin Ingram top-scored with 72 not out as they reached 212 for five with Luke Fletcher adding two for 52 to his first-innings figures of 3-60.

Ingram's compatriot Colin Ackermann scored 89 as Leicestershire reached 420 all out in a rain-affected clash with Kent at Grace Road.

The visitors struggled in response with Dieter Klein's 4-48 helping to reduce them to 193 for five with Darren Stevens still there on 54.

Durham needed a middle-order fightback from Ryan Pringle and Paul Coughlin to edge towards 300 after being put in by Sussex on the opening day at Hove.
