And a day in which county champions MIddlesex have dominated with the ball comes to an end.

Gary Ballance goes to stumps on 53. He'll be looking to put on as many as he can with last man Ryan Sidebottom in the morning.
Middlesex 446 v Yorkshire 184-9
It's a pretty lonely place in the middle for Gary Ballance right now.
The Yorkshire skipper reaches yet another half-century off 101 balls, his fourth of the season alongside three tons, but his side are facing a huge first-innings deficit at Lord's.
They'll need Gazza to go big in the second innings too by the looks of things.
Durham 281-4 v Glamorgan 295

It's been Essex's day thanks to centuries from Ravi Bopara and James Foster.

Tough ask.
Nottinghamshire 548-9 dec v Leicestershire 134 & 0-0
Notts have indeed asked Leicestershire to follow on, 414 behind.
They'll have a few overs to bat before stumps if the light holds. The umpires are just checking.
Worcestershire 336 v 260 & 120-3
Kent have just about held onto Worcestershire's coat tails in the final hour at New Road, led by Joe Denly's 67 not out.

It's his third half-century since joining Lancashire at the start of the season.
Essex 541-9 dec v Warwickshire 39-2
Are Essex genuine title contenders? You bet they are.
Spinner Simon Harmer tickles the edge of Ian Westwood's willow and Alastair Cook does the rest at slip.
Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell are now in the middle for the Bears. Essex will surely want one of those before stumps.
Image source, Rex FeaturesDurham 239-3 v Glamorgan 295
When you're struggling at the foot of the table, Paul Collingwood is the man you'd want to dig you out of trouble.
The Durham skipper has just brought up his fifth half-century of the summer to put his side in a highly winnable position.
Graham Clark is nine away from a maiden hundred at the other end.
Middlesex 446 v Yorkshire 146-8
BOWLED! Again. It's mayhem at Lord's!
