@SussexCCC on Twitter: Play will revert back to normal times for the rest of the match, and will start tomorrow at 11:00am.. #GOSBTS
7:20pm - That wicket for Jordan came in the penultimate over of the day. Notts close on 318 for eight and will be very grateful to Samit Patel.
7:12pm - What a shame for Patel. He cannot quite see the day through, falling for 157 to end a stand of 114 and give Chris Jordan his fifth wicket. Notts' centurion top-edged a hook and was caught by Ed Joyce.
7:10pm - Not long left at the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground. Notts, 112 for six earlier today, are 318 for seven with Patel and Shahzad unbeaten on 157 and 32 respectively.
6:46pm - This really is a fine effort from Patel, who has just progressed beyond 150. Nottinghamshire have three batting points and could yet add to that.
6:26pm - Lancashire will enter the final day at Aigburth leading Gloucestershire by 327 on 239 for seven. White has 52 at stumps.
Patel has put on 79 with Shahzad thus far, having shared 92 with Franks.

6:18pm - White has a half-century for Lancashire, while Patel is now unbeaten on 136.
6:13pm - RESULT! Essex (215) draw with Worcestershire (351/6) at New Road: Samaraweera takes Worcestershire to a fourth batting point and the players promptly shake hands to end this rain-hit fixture.
Northants close on 159 for five at Wantage Road, 47 behind Hampshire after three days.
They are also done for the day at Derby, where Surrey have reached 35 for one in reply to Derbyshire's 452.
6:06pm - Stumps are drawn at Tunbridge Wells at the end of a good evening for Kent. They will enter the final day on 159 for one, trailing Leicestershire by 27.
Sussex take the second new ball and Nottinghamshire bring up a second batting point from Chris Jordan's first delivery with the fresh nut.
5:56pm - Surrey have avoided any further setbacks since the early loss of Burns.
Ajmal Shahzad is digging in to provide support for Patel at the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground.
Cross exits for 64 at Aigburth, but Lancashire's lead of 302 appears a healthy one with three wickets still intact.
Essex earn a second bowling point through Masters' dismissal of Neil Pinner for seven.
@LancsCCC on Twitter: FOUR!!! Cross is on fire and smashes Miles through extra cover. He's on 58 and Lancs lead by 295 runs
5:47pm - Patel lofts Monty Panesar for six to reach 97 and immediately brings up his hundred, from 146 balls, by striking the next ball to the fence. Without his knock, Nottinghamshire would be in big trouble.
Worcestershire know they are running out of time to grab batting bonus points. Gareth Andrew falls lbw to Graham Napier with his side 15 short of 350.
5:38pm - Key and Brendan Nash have contributed 71 and 60 respectively for Kent thus far. They now trail Leicestershire by just 43.
David Masters has another at New Road, the out-of-form Alexei Kervezee bowled for seven.

5:29pm - Lancashire have recovered well from 62 for five at Aigburth. They now lead by 267 on 179 for six, with Gareth Cross and Wayne White in occupation.
Thilan Samaraweera has moved beyond 50 for Worcestershire.
@SussexCCC on Twitter: WICKET.. Anyon gets the breakthrough and bowls Franks' middle stump! Notts 204/7 #GOSBTS
5:20pm - The departure of Mitchell gives Essex their first bowling point.
Notts have a batting point at the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, thanks largely to Samit Patel and Paul Franks.

5:14pm - Rory Burns, seeking a third, is run out by Wayne Madsen from long-off to leave Surrey four for one. Vikram Solanki is the new batsman rather than Ponting.
5:07pm - Lancashire lose Prince for 64, but there is no stopping Worcestershire skipper Mitchell, who now has 150.

4:53pm - RESULT! Yorkshire (450/5 dec & 104/4) draw with Somerset (310) at Taunton: This has been inevitable ever since Somerset avoided the follow-on this morning. Yorkshire will take plenty of positives from another fine display. James Hildreth's hundred was key for the hosts.
Meanwhile, Kent's Rob Key has a fifty to his name. The former England opener reached the landmark with the first of two successive fours off Nathan Buck.
Ashwell Prince is another batsman to have passed 50, but Northamptonshire's half-centurion, Kyle Coetzer, will not add to his total. He's out for 59, caught behind off Danny Briggs.
4:42pm - Johnson brings up a half-century for Derbyshire.
Kent are 79 for one and trail Leicestershire by 107 on the third evening at Tunbridge Wells.
It is also day three at Wantage Road, where Northants have added just eight in the last 10 overs.
By contrast, Worcestershire are now scoring freely.

3:53pm - It is also tea-time at Derby, the hosts having moved to 398 for six.
In Division Two, Kent are going along steadily and Kyle Coetzer has a fifty for Northamptonshire.
Lancashire are effectively 185 for five at Aigburth.
@EssexCricket on Twitter: TEA and Worcestershire are 210 for 2 from 62 overs, Mitchell 98, Samaraweera 16.
3:43pm - Now Notts suffer another blow. Read hangs his bat out at a wide one from Jordan and is caught behind to be the paceman's fourth victim.
It is tea at Taunton, where Yorkshire have recovered to 65 for three. There is almost certainly just one hour more to come there with a draw inevitable.
3:41pm - We have our first wicket in a little while, courtesy of James Vince. His medium-pace has been called on more frequently this summer and, in his first over of the game at Wantage Road, it has accounted for Alex Wakely.
Moments later, Surrey strike at Derby as Meaker has David Wainwright caught in the deep for 21.
3:34pm - Derbyshire's seventh-wicket duo take their partnership past 50 and Wayne Madsen's team towards 400.
At New Road, Mitchell has been stuck on 96 for quite some time. In fairness, he has seen very little of the strike since being joined by Thilan Samaraweera.
Nottinghamshire have moved past 100 through Samit Patel and Chris Read.
3:13pm - With Mitchell four short of a century, Worcestershire lose a second wicket as Moeen hits Graham Napier to extra-cover.

Kent's first wicket falls with the score on 14 as Daniel Bell-Drummond goes lbw to Ollie Freckingham.
2:33pm - A spectacular catch from Craig Miles at square-leg sends Lancashire's Stephen Moore packing for 34. Graeme McCarter then accounts for Simon Katich next ball to leave the Red Rose 47 for four!
Kirby has followed up his removal of Sayers by pinning Phil Jaques lbw for a duck.
Moeen moves to 50 for Worcestershire.
2:29pm - David Wainwright and Richard Johnson have carried Derbyshire to a fourth batting point.
Joe Sayers has fallen cheaply to Steve Kirby for the second time in the game at Taunton, although, in truth, there is little to play for there following the interruptions earlier in the week.
2:14pm - There is still every chance of a positive result at Aigburth. Karl Brown has been bowled by Liam Norwell to leave Lancashire 25 for two in their second dig. They lead by 113 on the third afternoon.

@yorkshireccc on Twitter: Play set for a resumption. Yorkshire start their second innings with a lead of 140. 63 overs left today.
1:49pm - Full credit to Surrey. The visitors to Derby have fought back with four wickets for 42 either side of lunch. The latest scalp is a big one as Wayne Madsen is bowled by Stuart Meaker for 152. Derbyshire are now 337 for six.
1:44pm - Derbyshire lose a fifth wicket as Chris Tremlett has debutant Ben Slater caught behind for seven.
1:38pm - Jordan is once again turning on the style for Sussex. What a signing he appears to be. The seamer traps Cowan lbw to leave Notts 53 for four.
Northamptonshire are under way at Wantage Road and Kyle Coetzer already has two fours to his name.
Andrea Agathangelou was caught by Chris Dent - and not Gareth Roderick as stated below.
Lunch is finally being taken at Tunbridge Wells, although Leicestershire remain nine down following some determined resistance from Nathan Buck and Robbie Williams.
@LancsCCC on Twitter:WICKET!!! Play has restarted and Agathangelou is out first ball. Caught Roderick, bowled Miles. Lancs 0-1. Brown new batsman.

12:50pm - Despite losing Hildreth for 115 to a Moin Ashraf yorker, Somerset have avoided the follow-on against Yorkshire.
Charlie Shreck removes Ollie Freckingham at Tunbridge Wells, leaving Leicestershire 155 for eight.
Hampshire are all out for 206 and lunch will therefore be taken at Wantage Road.

12:21pm - Worcestershire skipper Mitchell moves to 50 with his ninth four.
Derbyshire have claimed a third batting point by passing 300, while George Dockrell is digging in alongside Hildreth at Taunton.
Alex Gidman is counter-attacking for Gloucestershire having been left with the tail.

After hitting his wicketkeeper in the face, Kerrigan has now had a catch put down. Steven Croft is responsible for putting down Graeme McCarter.
@LancsCCC on Twitter: Brief hold up in play after Cross was hit in the face by a delivery from Kerrigan. He's carrying on after a bit of treatment.
@SussexCCC on Twitter: WICKET..Jordan bowls Alex Hales for 2 and Notts are 3 for 1

Kent have claimed three for 12 at Tunbridge Wells following Stevens' removal of Josh Cobb. Leicestershire are 124 for seven.
11:54am - Steven Patterson revives Yorkshire victory hopes by getting rid of Meschede, who made 32. Somerset still need 29 to avoid the follow-on - and surely secure safety - with three wickets intact.
Leicestershire lose a second wicket in as many overs as Calum Haggett bowls Matthew Boyce.
And it is a similar tale at Wantage Road, where Andrew Hall ends Liam Dawson's 293-minute stay at the crease. The number three departs for 76 and Hampshire are 180 for seven.
11:52am - James Hildreth brings up a valuable century for Somerset and takes his seventh-wicket stand with Craig Meschede to 100 in the progress. The Taunton hosts are now 272 for six and look to be snuffing out any hopes of a Yorkshire win.

11:41am - Aigburth remains the place to be today if you are looking for wickets. Lancashire captain Glen Chapple removes Craig Miles for nine, which means Gloucestershire are now in a spot of bother at 166 for seven.
Mitchell is getting stuck into Sajid Mahmood at New Road. The seamer's first over has brought 12 runs.
Sussex have won the toss and will field first against Nottinghamshire when play begins at the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground at noon.
11:34am - Lancashire's success apart, it has been a good morning for batting sides thus far.
Leicestershire have moved beyond 100 against Kent in another game badly affected by the weather, while fellow Division Two sides Worcestershire and Hampshire are also making steady progress.
In the top-flight, Somerset and Derbyshire continue to press on. Hildreth is seven shy of a century.
@LancsCCC on Twitter: WICKET!!! Another one for Kerrigan. Roderick bowled by the Lancs spinner for 0.
11:18am - Immediately after being struck for six, Simon Kerrigan makes a breakthrough for Lancashire by having Karl Brown held at second slip. That leaves Gloucestershire 155 for five in reply to 310 all out.
Derbyshire captain Wayne Madsen has followed Shivnarine Chanderpaul to three figures at Derby. Their third-wicket stand is now worth 219 and Surrey desperately need a wicket.
11:14am - Somerset claim a second batting point and edge closer to avoiding the follow-on. We are still awaiting our first wicket of the day.
11:03am - Worcestershire make a flying start to day four at New Road as Daryl Mitchell takes successive fours off the usually economical David Masters. That game has surely come down to a battle for bonus points after several lengthy interruptions for rain and bad light.
James Hildreth has also claimed a brace of early boundaries at Taunton. The middle-order batsman has 85 of Somerset's 243 for six.
10:53am - Not long now until the counties get under way. Play has already begun in the first NatWest Series one-day international between England and New Zealand at Lord's and you can follow live text on that game from ecb.co.uk's Matthew Sherry here.
