Noah Cornwell then took 3-60 in the second innings, including the final wicket of Sam Wood to end the match, as Leicestershire tumbled to 202 all out with Logan van Beek's unbeaten 36 their top score. Back in the top flight, Worcestershire took complete control of their encounter with Hampshire, forcing their opponents to follow on and ending the day with a 372-run lead.

Rothesay County Championship Division One, Kia Oval (day three)Surrey: 820-9 dec: Sibley 305, Lawrence 178, Jacks 119, S Curran 108; Rhodes 3-131Durham 343-9: Lees 125, Robinson 79; Worrall 4-49, Fisher 3-69Durham (3 pts) trail Surrey (7 pts) by 477 runsMatch scorecard A brilliant three-wicket burst by Dan Worrall resurrected Surrey's victory ambitions after Alex Lees and Ollie Robinson's 152-run stand had raised Durham hopes of being able to force a draw at the Kia scored a superb 125 and Robinson a 105-ball 79 as Durham eventually reached 343-9 by stumps on day three, but earlier both fell to paceman Worrall, as did New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, in a slide from 266-3 to Matt Fisher removed George Drissell with the last ball before tea, Durham had lost four wickets for 29 runs in 12 overs immediately before the though, Graham Clark and Matthew Potts added 46 for the eighth wicket in 25 overs to hold up Surrey again as the Kookaburra ball lost its shine and resisted 79 balls for his 23, until Dan Lawrence spun an off break to pin him leg-before on the back foot, and then Worrall returned to hit Clark's middle stump with his fifth ball back to end a defiant 30.A hobbling Ben Raine, injured when bowling on day one, bravely emerged as last batter to keep Daniel Hogg company until the end of play, with Hogg even taking two fours off Fisher in the closing however, bat has overwhelmingly dominated ball on an essentially flat pitch in a County Championship match where the draw still seems the likeliest outcome despite Durham, in reply to Surrey's mammoth 820-9 declared, still being 477 runs adrift going into the final Lees frustrated Surrey's attack for almost six hours in all. The Durham captain began day three on 33, with his side 59-1, and forged a fine partnership with Robinson after seeing both Will Rhodes and Colin Ackermann depart before edged the impressive Fisher to keeper Josh Blake to go for 26 in the morning's eighth over, and Ackermann's 24 was ended by an excellent piece of bowling from Sam Curran. Angling one across the right-hander, left-armer Curran saw Will Jacks cling on to a sharp catch at first was fortunate to nick Curran between first and second slips for four before he had reached double figures and, after lunch, Curran had an impassioned appeal for lbw against Lees, on 64, turned down – much to the all-rounder's however, the fourth-wicket pair progressed serenely and successive fours off Fisher took Lees to 80 while Robinson went to a 76-ball half-century in style by pulling Jordan Clark powerfully off the front foot for six over mid went to his 31st first-class hundred in the 74th over of Durham's innings and – having been on the field in sweltering 90-degree temperatures for almost eight sessions – he was finally forced to leave it just before tea on day had just been bowled by a full in-swinger from Worrall (4-49), and the leader of Surrey's attack made it three strikes overall in his second, third and fourth overs with the second new ball – taken with Durham on 255-3 – when he quickly added the scalps of Lees and who faced 240 balls and hit 18 fours, nibbled at a fine ball that lifted and left him, and Neesham's thicker edge to a similar delivery flew to Jacks at first survived a big lbw appeal from Fisher on four and then a mishit pull at Worrall on five dropped inches short of Curran, diving forward from the squarer of two mid wickets, but Drissell (7) top-edged a pull at Fisher to mid on as Durham's sudden decline continued innings was steadied, however, by Clark and Potts who made sure of a second batting bonus point while also denying Surrey a third bowling point.

Allison hits century as Essex set Surrey huge target
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Kia Oval (day three)Essex 217 & 479: Allison 140, Walter 118, Thain 50, Westley 50; Worrall 4-77 Surrey 279: Curran 70, Clark 54, Rajitha 5-87 & 32-0 Surrey (4 pts) need 386 to beat Essex (3 pts) with 10x wickets standingMatch scorecard Charlie Allison, a 20-year old with a previous first-class best of just 28, hit a memorable maiden hundred to stun champions Surrey at the brilliant 140, in his sixth first-class match, helped Essex rack up a second innings total of 479 and leave Surrey with an unlikely victory target of 418. By stumps, in eight overs' batting, they reached 32 without six-pronged pace attack was neutered on an easing pitch, leaving Rory Burns's side facing a stiff final day battle for a draw to maintain their unbeaten start to the County Championship the end of the innings, Colchester-born Allison hit a weary Dan Worrall for two sixes over long on and there were also 19 fours in a 235-ball epic spanning just over five remarkably, had come in on a pair after being caught behind off New Zealand Test all-rounder Nathan Smith from his fifth ball in Essex's first nine previous first-class innings, since making his debut last month, he had made only 154 runs at an average of when he tucked his 185th ball to deep mid on and sauntered for a single, Allison was coolness personified as he initially hardly reacted to his achievement until removing his helmet and raising both arms in the air to acknowledge generous applause from the third day Thain, his contemporary from Essex age groups and recent England U19 teams, gave Allison a bear hug and the pair then continued an impressive seventh wicket stand that eventually raised made 50 before holing out to long off and, earlier, Allison had helped Tom Westley – who fought hard for his own 50 – to blunt a Surrey attack already up against it after Paul Walter's superlative 118 on day had resumed 133 ahead on 195-2, and Dean Elgar (64) could not believe it when he attempted to square drive a full ball angled across him by Worrall and succeeded only in slicing it all the way to third man where Smith took the was fortunate to get off the mark with an inside-edged four, the ball narrowly missing off stump as he tried to square cut a delivery from Worrall that was too close to him for the the youngster settled his nerves by soon hitting Smith beautifully to the cover boundary, his second scoring shot, and then taking further fours off his pads against Jamie Overton and through extra cover off Tom even touched 88mph in a pacy spell in which he was always in the mid-80s, but Westley was equal to the challenge with fours through extra cover and tucked neatly off his pads. On 35, Westley survived a difficult low chance to Sam Curran, diving to his right, as he clipped Lawes off his legs but the Essex total had moved on to 266-3 by the time Surrey took the second new ball 20 minutes before Clark, nursing a sore toe, was brought on for his first bowl of the day immediately after lunch and, with his 10th ball, he had Westley athletically caught by Kurtis Patterson – diving to his right – at point. Worrall then pinned Matt Critchley leg-before for four, nine runs later, and at 294-5 it seemed as if Surrey were back in the game with almost five sessions Pepper, however, hung around to make 18 in a 49-run stand with Allison, until Curran – finally thrown the ball for the 50th over of the day – struck with his seventh delivery to have Pepper caught Allison and Thain capped a brilliant day for Essex by staying together for almost two hours after Pepper's dismissal 45 minutes before tea. Allison finally miscued a swipe at Clark, giving a simple return catch as the last few Essex wickets fell in a flurry of slogs, but whatever he goes on to achieve in his cricket career he will never forget this Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

Ollie Pope puts champions Surrey in control against Hampshire
An unbeaten half-century by Ollie Pope helped Surrey gain the upper-hand over Hampshire on day two of their Rothesay County Championship fixture. Reigning champions Surrey had endured a tough first day at Kia Oval after a battling draw at Essex earlier this month but dismissed Hampshire for 219 to establish a potentially crucial 34-run first-innings lead. Dan Worrall led the way with three for 37, including Tom Prest for 44, and it was soon over to the batters as Pope enjoyed a much-needed return to form with 56 not out to help Surrey close on 136 for one with a healthy 170-run lead. Paul Walter, Jordan Cox and Matt Critchley registered fifties for Essex to help them reach 301 for five at Chelmsford after they dismissed Nottinghamshire for 347 at the start of second day. A 123-run partnership for the third wicket between Walter, who hit 76 at the top of the order, and England hopeful Cox (82) was followed by 50 not out from Critchley. Yorkshire are on course for a first win back in Division One after four wickets from Ben Coad helped them dismiss Worcestershire for 162 at Headingley. After Jordan Thompson was able to help Yorkshire add 31 runs to their overnight score to reach 456, Coad's four for 39 skittled Worcestershire inside 67 overs before the home side finished on 61 for one. Tom Haines' 117 not out pressed home Sussex's position of strength against Somerset despite a brief fightback from James Rew. Rew hit an unbeaten 80 to help Somerset recover from 62 for five to post 201 before Haines blitzed a century to ensure Sussex closed day two on 246 for one and a 339-run lead. Warwickshire were restricted to 287 for eight at Chester-le-Street after Daniel Hogg claimed three for 60 for Durham. It could have been worse for Warwickshire after they were reduced to 157 for six, but Kai Smith hit 79 and Michael Booth added an unbeaten 50. Lancashire are up against it despite a half-century by Keaton Jennings in their Division Two fixture at home to Northamptonshire. Lewis McManus struck 95 earlier in the day to help Northamptonshire make 495, with Tom Hartley taking three wickets, before Lancashire closed on 139 for four. Bowlers remain on top in Canterbury, but Middlesex have built up a 226-run lead after Kent were dismissed for 218 on day two. Middlesex made a strong start to their second innings with Stephen Eskinazi hitting 57 before an unbeaten 73 by Ben Geddes helped them finish on 222 for six. Martin Andersson struck 101 not out to help Derbyshire fight back at Leicestershire. After Logan van Beek helped Leicestershire post 484, he claimed three wickets to reduce Derbyshire to 139 for six before Andersson led a valiant response to help the visitors reach 346 for eight. Glamorgan face an uphill battle to save their match at Gloucestershire after they finished day two trailing by 400 runs. Gloucestershire improved their overnight score from 363 for three to 546 before 50 by Glamorgan captain Sam Northeast saw them make 146 for three in reply.
