Derby (day three of four): Glamorgan 521-8d, Derbyshire 318 & 78-0 (f/o) - Derbyshire trail by 125 runs behind with 10 second-innings wickets remaining

Promotion hopefuls Glamorgan are pressing for victory after Derbyshire collapsed dramatically on the third day of the LV= Insurance County Championship match at Derby.

After an opening stand of 165 between Luis Reece and Harry Came, Derbyshire lost seven wickets for 44 to be bowled out for 318 but following on, the pair again played well to close on 78 without loss, 125 runs behind. 

Reece scored 131, his first Championship hundred of the season, and Came 65 but the home side fell apart against the second new ball as Glamorgan secured maximum bonus points.

Leus du Plooy made 41 to complete 1,000 championship runs for the season but his dismissal started the slide with Timm van der Gugten finishing with 3 for 94.

Scarborough (day three of four): Yorkshire 340, Durham 106-1 - Durham trail by 234 runs with nine second-innings wickets remaining

Yorkshire and Durham were frustrated by the weather at Scarborough as day three of their LV= Insurance County Championship clash was abandoned due to a wet outfield.

Heavy overnight rain in the East Coast town left areas of the outfield unplayable, first of all forcing a delayed start and an early lunch at 12.30pm.

With umpire Steve O'Shaughnessy having reported sickness overnight, the decision was left to his partner Surendiran Shanmugam and match referee James Whitaker.

Play was abandoned for the day at 2.10pm, by which time it was raining heavily.

Division Two leaders Durham were due to start on 106 for 1 in their first-innings reply to Yorkshire's 340 all out, with in-form opener Alex Lees unbeaten on 65 and chasing a fifth hundred in six Championship innings.

The contest is now heading for a draw - what would be the first Championship stalemate at this North Marine Road venue since the 2013 season.

Cheltenham (day two of four): Worcestershire 406, Gloucestershire 212-4 - Gloucestershire trail by 194 runs with six first-innings wickets remaining

Youngsters Joe Phillips and Ollie Price combined to keep Gloucestershire afloat on day two of the County Championship match against Worcestershire at the Cheltenham Festival.

Both out-preformed their more experienced team-mates, scoring valuable half-centuries on a day when the hosts recovered from 120 for 4 to close on 212 for 4 in reply to Worcestershire's first innings 406. 

Playing only his second senior game, 19-year-old Phillips posted a career-best 80, while Price, 22, finished on 75 not out, staging a successful rearguard action during the final session with his elder brother Tom, who is unbeaten on 41.

Joe Leach claimed three wickets in 16 balls to give Worcestershire the edge, but Gloucestershire trail by 194 and still have it within their power to at least claim parity when they resume in the morning.
