By Rob Barnett, Bibhash Dash & Callum Dent   

5.59pm - No time to rest though. Let's move swiftly over to Taunton where Middlesex have lost wicket number five. Neil Dexter falls to Abdur Rehman for 11. Now 18 needed in less than three overs.

5.56pm - RESULT! Lancashire (444 & 107/1) beat Kent (252 & 295) by nine wickets at Old Trafford.

5.47pm - Horton goes on to his half-century eventually. But let's take a break from the drama at Old Trafford, to take you to the.. err, drama at Taunton. Middlesex's James Franklin has just made a century. 

 

5.45pm - Added drama at Old Trafford where umpires were chatting about the light but play continues. Even the light meter made an appearance, giving Lancashire a few more nervy moments but we are still going.

5.42pm - Not as many nerves jangling at Headingley perhaps. Yorkshire seeing things through fairly comfortably.

5.40pm - Ooohs and aaahs abound as Kent miss the chance to end Horton's innings. He's just been dropped by Darren Stevens off his own bowling.

5.37pm - People of a nervous disposition should probably head off and wait for the final results to roll in. Lancashire need 30 off 48 deliveries with Paul Horton approaching a half-century. 

5.32pm - It's crunch time at Taunton. Will Middlesex give it a final big push? 

5.26pm - Back to the action on the field. As we explained earlier, Lancashire are giving their chase a really good go and their efforts appear to be bearing fruit. They need 46 off 60 balls.

Yorkshire seem to be heading down a slightly different route.

5.23pm - Gloucestershire may have been on the wrong end of a result on the field, but they are celebrating a success off the field (or just off the boundary ropes traditionally!). Bristol City Council’s Development Control Committee has approved a planning permission for the installation of permanent floodlights at their Bristol County Ground.

5.19pm - Middlesex could be holding out for a draw here? 62 runs off a victory but the scoring rate appears to have fallen slightly since Voges' departure. 

5.14pm - Hold your horses Lancashire fans. One's gone down here. Things just got a lot more interesting. 57 needed off roughly 12 overs.

5.11pm - Yes, well played to the boys from Derbyshire. A comfortable victory in the end, even if Gloucestershire kept at it with those three wickets. There's still action unfolding at Old Trafford where Lancashire need 63 off a minimum of 14 overs, and at Taunton where Middlesex also have a similar equation against Somerset.

5.10pm - RESULT! Derbyshire (545 & 142/3) have beaten Gloucestershire (275 & 411) by seven wickets.

5.05pm - And a late twist also at Taunton where Middlesex have lost Voges! 132 well-made runs later, the Australian departs to the bowling of Tim Groenewald, caught by Alex Barrow. That's also the end of a double-hundred stand. Batted.

5.02pm - There could be a draw afoot at Headingley, with Yorkshire seemingly not taking many risks in these final stages. 173 for four and 178 required.

But what's this? A late twist for Gloucestershire/Derbyshire! 

4.59pm - Less than 10 needed now for Derbyshire. Much of Godleman's good work has been slightly overshadowed by the late, late show from Guptill. But it is looking like a big team win nonetheless after the exact opposite against Lancashire last time out.

4.54pm - Lancashire are giving this a really good go. 18 without loss after three overs with 86 required. Yorkshire meanwhile are 162 for four, and need another 189 in just over 24 overs. Unlikely? 

4.50pm - Well, if you're going to do it, do it in style. And who better than to bring the flair than Guptill, who has already cracked three sixes for Derbyshire. Just 18 required now.

4.49pm - Let's not forget Middlesex who are also chasing victory with 79 runs left to get and seven wickets remaining. 19-odd overs left for them to do that and centurion Voges is plodding along nicely alongside Franklin. 

4.45pm - Derbyshire's required runs come below 50, as Martin Guptill joins skipper Wayne Madsen at the crease. Could there be a few more twists to this tale? 

4.42pm - Well, it's looking like a good-old one-day international type finish at Old Trafford so may as well open the gates!

4.35pm - It's the end of the innings for Kent, BOWLED OUT for 295. A straight shootout for the line now it would seem. 104 needed in 21 overs for Lancashire.

4.32pm - WICKETS! Oh dear. Perhaps we spoke a bit too soon. Derbyshire have gone on to lose both their openers in successive deliveries - two different bowlers. The target is certainly still gettable, but what a chance gone for Godleman to carry his bat as it were. He is caught by Chris Dent off Matt Taylor, after Slater fell to the combination of Will Tavare and James Fuller.

4.29pm - In contrast to the champions, Derbyshire are well on course for victory, as Godleman reaches his half-century.

4.26pm - Yorkshire are stumbling along and lose another wicket! Andrew Gale is caught behind for 28 with Jeetan Patel picking up his third scalp. 215 now needed with six wickets left and around 32 overs. Game on!

4.21pm - Middlesex are nearing 300 and need another 105 to beat Somerset at Taunton. With seven wickets left, the next 20 minutes or so will prove crucial for the hosts if they are to force a win.

4.17pm - Derbyshire are past the halfway mark in their chase. It will take a mammoth effort from Gloucestershire to knock them off here. The visitors need just 69 for the win.

4.10pm - WICKETS! Yorkshire and Kent both lose a man, with Pujara departing for the champions, while Jarvis roars in to account for Kent's Riley. Kent are nine down.

4.07pm - Derbyshire are close to a victory at the County Ground, just 76 now needed with all 10 wickets left. Gloucestershire are plugging away regardless.

4.06pm - Play is resuming after the tea interval as Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Middlesex are back out on the field. 

3.50pm - RESULT! Northamptonshire (251 & 429) beat Leicestershire (305 & 283) by 92 runs at Grace Road. That’s it, a bit of 10th-wicket swinging is ended by Rory Kleinveldt, and Northants take 21 points from a 92-run victory, their first in 21 Championship matches stretching back to August 2013. For Leicestershire, who take 6 points, the agony continues. Northants have a big home game against Lancashire next, while Leicestershire head for Kent. 

3.45pm - Yorkshire take tea on 120 for two, requiring 231 from a minimum 38 overs upon the resumption. I suspect bad light will have a part to play there, despite the new floodlights. 

Kent are 80 runs ahead with two second-innings wickets in tact at the second interval at Emirates Old Trafford. 

3.42pm - Century for Voges at Taunton. His stunning form, which started Down Under in the Sheffield Shield, continues. The Australian moves to the milestone 163 deliveries. Middlesex are 122 runs away from victory. 

3.37pm - RESULT!  Hampshire draw with Nottinghamshire at the Ageas Bowl.   Rain on the south coast means Hampshire, 29 without loss chasing an unlikely 392, and Notts have to settle for a draw, the latter's third in a row. 

3.27pm - Middlesex are racing along nicely now. James Franklin, 55 not out, and Adam Voges, unbeaten on 83, take their side to 260 for three, requiring 142 to win at Taunton. The New Zealander completed his half-century off 106 balls. 

3.17pm -  ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 261/9) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429):  Northants are now on the brink, as Clint McKay’s counter-attack ends with a top-edge to deep square-leg off Olly Stone. Leicestershire now 261 for nine, so need a last-wicket stand of 115. Charlie Shreck’s batting has improved, but surely not that much.

3.09pm - Another steady start from Yorkshire opener Rhodes ends when, on 29, Jeetan Patel traps him lbw, halting a stand of 34 with Cheteshwar Pujara.

The rain is falling at Hampshire, meaning a draw could well be called shortly. That would be Notts' third stalemate of the season. 

3.02pm - Lancashire's quest to dismiss Kent is held up by Matt Coles and Adam Riley, the pair extending their side's lead to 61. Are the eighth-wicket duo going to secure a draw for the visitors at Emirates Old Trafford? 

2.47pm - Ben Raine edges Muhammad Azhar Ullah behind to leave Leicestershire, chasing 376, 224 for eight.

Middlesex, on 212 for three, are over half way to their victory target of 402 to beat Somerset. 

2.43pm - RESULT!  Surrey (340 & 95/2) draw with Essex (610/8d) at the Kia Oval. Play has been abandoned for the day in the capital, meaning both teams remain unbeaten this term. 

2.30pm - Yorkshire openers Alex Lees and Will Rhodes were frustrating Warwickshire's victory bid at Headingley until the former is caught behind off Rikki Clarke for 21, making the score 48 for one. 

Derbyshire have 42 overs to get their runs in Bristol. 

New Zealander John Bracewell, formerly of Gloucestershire, has been confirmed as Ireland's new head coach. 

2.15pm - RESULT! Durham (339 & 263/4) beat Sussex (335 & 265) by six wickets at the Emirates Durham ICG. Scott Borthwick and Paul Collingwood, with an unbeaten 97 and 35 not out respectively, see Durham home to a second consecutive Championship victory, ending Sussex's two-match winning streak in the process. 

Mark Footitt has a sixth at the Bristol County Ground, having Liam Norwell caught behind. Gloucestershire are 136 ahead with one second-innings wicket left. 

Middlesex skipper Adam Voges has a half-century at Taunton. 

2.11pm -  ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 199/7) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429):  Kleinveldt has now dismissed O’Brien for 58, bowled on the back foot by one that nipped back into him, having trapped Wells lbw earlier in the over. Kleinveldt has 3-64, and Northants are three wickets away from a long-awaited victory.

2.03pm - ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 186/6) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429):  A good gutsy half-century from Niall O’Brien, with six fours, and he and Tom Wells have now put on 43 for the sixth wicket. Still 190 needed to win though. And now Wells has gone, lbw on the crease to what looked like a very good one from Rory Kleinveldt.

Rain is taking the players off at the Ageas Bowl, where Hampshire are 29 for no wicket. 

1.59pm - Lancashire will be sensing Kent blood now as Sam Billings, yesterday named in England's one-day international squad to play Ireland on May 8, edges Kyle Jarvis behind. A third wicket for the Zimbabwean. Kent are just 24 ahead with four wickets remaining. 

1.47pm - After Notts declared at lunch, setting Hampshire 392 to win in 70 overs, the hosts are 16 without loss. Can they prevent Notts from securing a first win of the campaign?

It is still raining at the Kia Oval. 

1.30pm - James Middlebrook continues to chip away at Warwickshire after the early lunch at Headingley. The veteran spinner takes his fourth second-innings wicket, and seventh in the match on his second White Rose debut, when he bowls Sam Hain for 24. The visitors to Leeds are 334 ahead on 202 for six. 

1.13pm -  As promised, here are the lunchtime round-ups.

Division One

Yorkshire went into an early lunch against Warwickshire at Headingley, with the visitors on 170 for five .

Durham are closing in on victory at home to  Sussex . Ajmal Shahzad has picked all four of their wickets but the hosts need just 51 more to win .

Experiencing a washed out morning were Hampshire and Nottinghamshire , with the latter poised on 296 for four overnight .

Middlesex meanwhile had a shaky start to the day but are 148 for three , with 253 still required to beat Somerset .

Division Two

Leicestershire are in trouble in their big chase against Northamptonshire , with the Foxes on 171 for five and still needing 204 for an improbable win.

Lancashire and Kent had their own rain delay, but Kent have a slender 17-run lead with five wickets remaining.

Rain in South London meant no play before lunch between Surrey and Essex at the Kia Oval. Surrey are 95 for two and still 17 behind Essex in the second innings.

Finally, Gloucestershire are doing well to frustrate Derbyshire . On 379 for eight and with a lead of 109 means Derbyshire will have to regroup quickly to push for a win.

1pm -  Lunchtime bells are ringing around the grounds. Gloucestershire and Derbyshire back in the hut, as are Lancashire and Kent. Yorkshire doing their bit for the cause meanwhile having taken lunch a short while ago.

12.56pm -  Derbyshire again being frustrated by Gloucestershire. 

12.50pm -  The two Sams at Old Trafford have taken Kent past 200 now. With five wickets left and just a small lead, you would think Lancashire will go all out after the lunch break. Fantastic battle ahead hopefully.

A wicket over at the Emirates Durham ICG where Durham are four down for 205 with Shahzad getting all the wickets. Calum MacLeod has just departed for 26, but the hosts need just 56 to win now. 

12.45pm -  ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 152-5) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429):  Only five more wickets needed now for Northants to claim their first win in 21 Championship matches since August 2013 – it is not only Leicestershire who have had a long time between drinks. Rory Kleinveldt has just broken a stubborn fifth-wicket stand by pinning Ned Eckersley for a battling 37. Niall O’Brien’s still there, having played some pleasing shots in his 36, but that victory target of 376 looks more distant than ever. Leicestershire’s best hope now may be the clouds surrounding the ground, as some rain would boost their chances of salvaging a draw.

12.44pm - WICKET!   Things are falling apart for Gloucestershire maybe, as Marshall is caught by Martin Guptill off Footitt (what did I tell you about dependable?). He's got five now but that innings of 79 from Marshall was well deserved, though Gloucestershire are two away from being bowled out. 

Leicestershire are also in trouble now, as Ned Eckersley is gone lbw to leave them on 152 for five. 

12.39pm -  Kent recover from that last wicket to go past Lancashire. A nascent lead of four, as the two Sams, Northeast and Billings, grind it out at Emirates Old Trafford. 

12.37pm -  We will, of course, bring you all the lunchtime scores as and when they roll in. Well, we can probably knock two or three off that list already with Yorkshire, Hampshire and Surrey all being hit in various capacities by the weather and taking early lunches. 

12.35pm -  Oh no! Fuller is at last shown the door by Derbyshire as the dependable Mark Footitt bowls him for 51. Fuller's stand with Marshall was nearing three figures but is cut short on 94. 347 for seven

12.33pm -  Update (or lack of) from the Kia Oval

12.30pm -  Middlesex are digging in ahead of lunch. They are 126 for two with another 276 required so it will be a very interesting second half of the day if they decide to go all out after the interval. 

Gloucestershire meanwhile are frustrating Derbyshire nicely. James Fuller reaches his 50, despite the introduction of spin by Derbyshire. A lead of 70 now.

12.24pm -  Lancashire do get the breakthrough after that delay. Kent are now five down for 187 after Darren Stevens is trapped lbw by Peter Siddle. That's Siddle's fifth, while Kent are still five behind the Red Rose. 

Over at Headingley, it will be an early lunch break. 

12.19pm -  There's been early lunch taken at the Ageas Bowl, where Hampshire and Notts are yet to have any play. Visitors Notts are 296 for four.

12.16pm - So about that Yorkshire momentum....

12.15pm -  Will it be a similar story for Yorkshire's rivals Lancashire? The Red Rose are back out after their rain delay and it seems five overs have been lost. Kent still 12 behind on 180 for four.

12.12pm - What was in that rain? Yorkshire on fire after the interruption.

12.07pm -  Things settling down maybe in the morning's second hour (famous last words, I know!). Durham are within sight of a victory with seven wickets left. 

Leicestershire have crossed 100 in their run-chase, though it's a tall order perhaps to get another 267 with six wickets left? 

And speaking of tall orders...

12.03pm -  Couple of half-centuries to tell you about as well. Scott Borthwick is powering Durham's chase now and crosses the landmark in 93 balls. Nick Gubbins then does the same for Middlesex who have recovered from a shaky start this morning. 90 for two for the Lord's outfit. 

12pm -  Yorkshire not hanging around much. Warwickshire's Ian Westwood goes after his well-made 84 with James Middlebrook trapping him lbw. Great start after the rain delay for the champions. 

11.57am -  Contrasting stories from either side of the Pennines to tell you about. First the good news, is that the players are out in the middle at Headingley with just four overs lost. 

Now here's the bad news for Lancs and Kent fans...

11.50am -  ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 93/4) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429):  Now Azhar Ullah switches ends and wins a much plumber looking lbw decision against Neil Pinner from his first ball. Niall O’Brien joins Ned Eckersley, and it’s a familiar backs to the wall battle for Leics.

11.46am -  Away from the rain, Gloucestershire are the bright sparks as they make it 300 with a lead of 30. They will need to hold out well though with just four wickets left. Derbyshire will sense a big victory chance. 

11.42am -  Oh dear! Looks like another rain delay, this time at Headingley. 

11.35am -  ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 75/3) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429): Northants are strong favourites here now, after two early wickets. Muhammad Azhar Ullah produced a beauty to pluck out Angus Robson’s off stump, and Olly Stone has just won an lbw decision against the Leicestershire captain Mark Cosgrove, a huge blow to the Foxes, who are now 75 for three. 

Hamish Marshall has just reached an individual half-century for Gloucestershire who are plugging away nicely at 292 for six against Derbyshire. 

11.31am -  Away from the on-field action, Hampshire have just confirmed their exciting new signing for this season has been advanced.

Hampshire's start to the day's play has been delayed by rain of course, so plenty of time to read up on Edwards. Will he prove the difference for Hants this season? 

11.25am -  Leicestershire's chase is not going to plan at all. They have just lost a third wicket with Mark Cosgrove gone lbw to Olly Stone. 67 for three with 308 required. Time to dig in fellas?

Durham's chase is also taking a few punches. Michael Richardson is bowled by Ajmal Shahzad for eight. 135 required with seven wickets left.

Meanwhile, over at Emirates Old Trafford, Lancs get an early reward

11.20am -  Somerset have come out firing on all cylinders here. A second wicket of the morning for Lewis Gregory to leave Middlesex on 45 for two. Nick Compton is bowled for just four to his name. 

11.18am -  A very damp picture over at the Kia Oval, with Surrey's second-innings on 95 for two. 

11.13am -  Even-stevens at Gloucestershire, who ensure Derbyshire will bat again. The hosts are 270 for six.

Meanwhile, another couple of run-chases stutter as Leicestershire lose their second wicket. And over at Chester-le-Street...

11.09am - Play has also begun at Emirates Old Trafford where Kent are batting and have crossed 150. 

Somerset have been rewarded for their persistence with a wicket. Sam Robson the first to go as Middlesex's run-chase totters early on. 

11.05am -  With rain in a few places, things may not look completely rosy, but Middlesex are holding out hope.

Also, a WICKET! Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan makes the early breakthrough with Warwickshire's Laurie Evans trapped lbw for 15. The visitors to Headingley lead by 246.

11.02am - ecb.co.uk's Andy Wilson at Leicestershire (305 & 46/1) v Northamptonshire (251 & 429):   Leicestershire need another 329 to beat Northamptonshire. Having driven through lots of rain on way north from Hampshire, a pleasant surprise to find a prompt start at Grace Road, where stakes are high for both east Midlands counties.

10.50am – Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the last day in this round of the LV= County Championship as all eight games reach a conclusion. Here’s how they stand:

Division One

Champions  Yorkshire  had to go off for the day a little prematurely, this after Andrew Gale had scored 96 and  Warwickshire’s  Boyd Rankin got a career-best 6-55. Visitors Warwickshire  lead by 240 runs  with eight wickets left.

Alex Hales just missed out on a century for  Nottinghamshire , but Brendan Taylor continued his run spree for the club, who lead  Hampshire  by  391 runs .

Durham  need 146 to win against  Sussex  with eight wickets remaining. Scott Borthwick and Michael Richardson are set to  resume on 115 for two .

Somerset’s  James Hildreth clocked 86 as they made it to 310.  Middlesex  are 31 without loss  with 371 needed for the win .

Division Two

Leicestershire  made a tricky start to their big chase, as they finished on   44 for one . They need a further 331 to win against  Northamptonshire , for whom David Willey excelled with both bat and ball.

Essex  declared their first innings at 610 for eight, and then had  Surrey  in trouble at one for one, though the hosts go into day four at   95 for two .

Lancashire  had to get an extended session in with the ball after play was delayed by rain.  Kent , following on, though are keeping themselves in the game on  148 for three .

Derbyshire  picked up a wicket with the day’s final ball, to leave  Gloucestershire  on  253 for six   and still 17 runs behind.
