Results seem unlikely in almost every match and the teams have turned their attention to picking up as many bonus points as they can. We start at the game that has progressed the most, at New Road.
Day 3
Worcestershire v Nottinghamshire
Not - 243 & 88-2
Wor - 157
Adams finished with 5 for 62 and Gurney picked up the first four wickets of his Nottinghamshire career as Worcestershire were bowled out 86 runs short of the visitors total. The visitors then made a quick start to their second innings as they try to leave themselves enough time to bowl Worcestershire out again. Rain wasn't an issue, but bad light was, meaning that this game still has a long way to go.
Somerset v Lancashire
Lan - 400
Som - 87-3
Lancashire just made it to 400 and a fifth batting point before Philander picked up his fifth wicket of the innings. Somerset began their first innings without Trescothic and lost both openers quickly. Hildreth (30) and Compton (30*), who has received a call up to the England Lions after all his runs so far this season, put on 53 for the third wicket, but just 6 runs later rain stopped play yet again, and the players didn't get back out.
Sussex v Warwickshire
War - 545
Sus - 80-5
Sussex lost three wickets this morning as Warwickshire piled on pressure, but then rain halted play meaning the visitors still have a lot to do if they are to win this match, and maybe they are ruing batting on for so long yesterday.
Hampshire v Leicestershire
Lei - 234
Ham - 217-4
When play eventually got under way Carberry (84*) and Ervine (41) pressed on, closing on Leicestershire's score, in search of bonus points. With only a day to go a result here looks slim so both teams are trying to pick up as many points as possible.
Kent v Yorkshire
Yor - 247
Ken - 350-9
Nash moved on to 132* and has taken Kent to 350 and a fourth batting point. Rain though kept play to a minimum and, again, bonus points may be all either side will take from this match with only a day to go.
Essex v Northamptonshire
Ess - 54-6
No play due to rain.
Gloucestershire v Glamorgan
No play due to rain
Surrey v Durham
No play due to rain
