And that's all we've got time for today.

We'll be back from 10:50 BST on Sunday to bring you the final day from our seven remaining matches.

Hope you can join us then.

So 147 from Joe Root at Headingley was the highlight of day three as Yorkshire battle hard with Lancashire in the Roses match.

Somerset steamrollered West Country rivals Gloucestershire to win by an innings with 14 wickets today, while leaders Surrey will push for the nine Kent wickets they need on day four to match that.

Elsewhere, Sam Hain's hundred and a 99 from captain Will Rhodes have taken Warwickshire very close to safety at Edgbaston after Northants' huge score.

Middlesex 195 & 66-3 v Nottinghamshire 415 & 295-5 dec

A battling half-century for the Middlesex opener.

Sam Robson saw two wickets fall on 0 and he has battled through to this score, his first 50 of the season to go with a century he made in the win at Sussex last week.

Middlesex will need plenty more from him tomorrow to have any chance of saving the game.

Steven Patterson and Jordan Thompson see out the final couple of overs meaning Lancashire will need 12 Yorkshire wickets on the final day to set up a victory chance.

Joe Root's superb 147 was the highlight of day three.

Two overs to go at Headingley.

I'd still say the draw is favourite, even if Yorkshire are made to follow-on tomorrow. 12 more wickets on this pitch is a tough ask.

That's stumps at Kent.

Surrey will need nine wickets on the final day to complete a big victory. Tough ask, but they're the form side in Division One.

Sam Hain and Matt Lamb make it to the end of the day. 306-2 today for Warwickshire, very much the home side's day.

Hard to see anything but a draw tomorrow.

Sam Hain and Matt Lamb are cruising in the late afternoon Edgbaston sunshine.

They have added 72 for the fifth wicket and Warwickshire are well on the way to avoiding the follow-on, and basically saving the game.

Matty Potts is back in the wickets, with two more as Glamorgan are 33-2, needing 160 more runs to beat Durham.

James Pattinson has removed fellow Aussie and Middlesex skipper Peter Handscomb as Notts have reduced their hosts to 44-3.

Sri Lanka bowler Suranga Lakmal has picked up the first Worcestershire wicket. They are 39-1, 158 behind Derbyshire.

Leicestershire are 184-5, needing 56 to make Sussex bat again.

These are valuable late runs for Yorkshire.

Dom Bess whips Geoge Balderson to the leg-side boundary and follows it up with a cut shot for four.

13 off the over, including four leg-byes.

Yorkshire need 92 more runs to avoid the follow-on.

Yorkshire go past 300 and claim a third batting bonus point. With 106 overs gone, that's probably all they're going to get.

But more importantly for the White Rose county - they'll want eight more points for the draw this time tomorrow.

This is much better from Kent second time around.

Zak Crawley and Ben Compton are both in the 30s and looking good.
