And with stumps in West Yorkshire, that's where we'll end today's live text commentary.
The forecast is looking pretty shocking tomorrow from the Midlands northwards, but we'll be back at 10:50 BST to see where the land lies.
Hope you can join us then!
Close of play at Headingley
Yorkshire 364-8 dec v Sussex 216 & 236-7
And that's your lot for day three in Leeds.
Sussex have gone a long way towards saving the game with some gutsy batting in their second innings.
Yorkshire will be hoping the weather improves enough tomorrow to give them a couple of hours to go for victory.
Sussex close with a lead of 88.
Post update
Yorkshire 364-8 dec v Sussex 216 & 229-7
Three overs to go at Headingley, still no breakthrough for Yorkshire's bowlers.
Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Jack Carson have batted for a shade under 17 overs now. Frustrating for the hosts.
Post update
Yorkshire 364-8 dec v Sussex 216 & 224-7
And so we're down to just the one game remaining on day three at Headingley.
Sussex continue to resist everything Yorkshire throw at them. They're 76 ahead and with play unlikely tomorrow they've probably done enough to salvage a draw.
Seven overs to go this evening as Dawid Malan comes on with a bit of spin. The light isn't great.
Close of play at Cheltenham College
Gloucestershire 134-1 v Glamorgan 450-6 dec
A second day dominated by the batters in Cheltenham.
After Glamorgan raced to maximum batting bonus points, Chris Dent's unbeaten 61 and 49 not out from Ollie Price helped Gloucestershire set a fine platform in their first innings.
HAMPSHIRE BEAT NOTTINGHAMSHIRE BY 116 RUNS
Hampshire 166 & 344-5 dec, Notts 100 & 294
It's all over at Trent Bridge as Mohammad Abbas traps Calvin Harrison leg before wicket for 39.
It's only the third LBW decision of the match - and it completes Hampshire's fifth County Championship win of the season, and also a double over Notts, who they also beat by eight wickets in the first game of the season back in April.
Hampshire take 19 points from the game to climb ti second in the table for now, within seven points of leaders Surrey and six ahead of third-placed Essex.
But both their games are still to finish.
Hants host Essex at Southampton next week, when Notts also face a crunch game at home to fellow strugglers Kent.
Close of play at Derby
Derbyshire 443 & 89-0 v Durham 575
Another day dominated by the batters and this game is only heading one way... a draw.
Runaway Division Two leaders Durham secured maximum batting bonus points once again but with rain forecast all day in Derby on Saturday, we might have seen the last ball bowled in this one.
Close of play at Lord's
Middlesex 238 & 272-9 v Surrey 433
Ethan Bamber and Josh De Caires have, against all odds, taken this game into a fourth day.
John Simpson departed for 60 and De Caires was stranded on 30* as Middlesex finished 12 shy of a third batting bonus point of the season and were asked to follow-on.
Mark Stoneman's 72 gave the hosts something to build on in this second innings but it needed another 31 from De Caires and a career-best 46* from 37 balls from Bamber to build a lead of 77 runs on the third evening.
It might not save the game but it's another positive step for the young side, and if they did get some major assistance from the weather, it might even help them snatch an impossible draw.
WICKET De Caires b Abbott 31
Middlesex 238 & 272-9 v Surrey 433
Out of nowhere Josh De Caires has his off stump smashed by Sean Abbott and goes after adding 31 to his 30 not out this morning.
The 64-run stand with Ethan Bamber is at an end. Just one short of that between Mark Stoneman and Sam Robson.
That will be stumps.
Division Two latest
Sussex continue to frustrate Yorkshire at Headingley. The visitors have moved on to 210-7 and lead by 62. Fynn Hudson-Prentice's fine game continues - he's batted 82 balls for his 32.
Derbyshire's game against Durham continues to drift towards a draw with tomorrow's forecast a shocker in Derby.
The hosts are 78-0 in their second innings and trail by 54.
Gloucestershire opener Chris Dent has just brought up his fifty at Cheltenham College with his side on 108-1 against Glamorgan. They're still 342 behind but looking good.
WICKET - Pettman c Middleton b Abbott 0
Notts 276-9 v Hampshire (chasing 411 to win)
One wicket left to take in Nottingham.
The new ball does the trick for Hampshire.
In the first over after taking it, Kyle Abbott digs one in and has Toby Pettman snapped up at short leg by Fletcha Middleton.
The Notts last man in is Dane Paterson.
Still 11 overs to come tonight after this one - never mind the option of claiming the extra half hour, even if Paterson and Calvin Harrison were to last that long.
Relegation-threatened Notts' fourth County Championship defeat of the season seems nigh.
Post update
Middlesex 238 & 260-8 v Surrey 433
Ethan Bamber and Josh De Caires are putting on a batting showcase. Hopefully some of their higher-order teammates are watching on.
Bamber moves to a career-best 38* from 30 balls with a nicely timed cut off Sean Abbott for his third four - to go along with those two sixes of course.
De Caires has a more measured - unsurprising, given his stock - 26 from 82 deliveries.
The lead is 65.
Post update
Middlesex 238 & 243-8 v Surrey 433
Huge appeal from Sean Abbott for... well, everything.
It's nearly cut Ethan Bamber in half before hitting the knee roll, the appeals begin, it looks like it wasn't in line anyway, but the ball loops up to gully and the appeals continue - if he got an inside edge then he has to go...
Well. He doesn't. According to the umpire at least. Sean Abbott is 20 yards away and looks dumbstruck. Stunned faces all round, except for Bamber. His is sheepish.
The lead is 52 into the final six overs of the day. If Middlesex lose another wicket then Surrey can ask for the extra half-hour. Whether the light will be good enough, and whether they can rattle off the required runs in time, is another, hypothetical matter, for now.
Close of play at Edgbaston
Lancashire 327 & 182-6, Warwickshire 212
Ged Scott - BBC SportCopyright: Ged Scott - BBC Sport
That is it for the day in Birmingham.
The electronic scoreboard is switched off.
The covers are on in full.
Lancashire lead by 297 - and now it is just a question of hoping that the weather forecast for tomorrow is not as bad as feared.
Post update
Middlesex 238 & 239-8 v Surrey 433
Into the final eight overs of the day at Lord's. Overs which many might have thought would never take place, if asked earlier this afternoon.
Ethan Bamber has pulled another six, this one almost flat, into the Mound Stand, off Tom Lawes - another one staking a claim for a T20 gig next summer, perhaps.
The Middlesex lead has ballooned to 44 so barring a late collapse there will be no Saturday morning tee times for the Surrey players after all.
They will be back here, trying to take care of business and hoping the weather doesn't prevent them from doing so.
WICKET - Hutton c Brown b Fuller 9
Notts 263-8 v Hampshire (chasing 411 to win)
James Fuller strikes again to claim his fourth wicket - and an eight catch in the match cfor Ben Brown.
Brett Hutton edges, Brown catches and that is his second safe grab of the second innings, to add to his six in the first.
If the last two Notts wickets also involve the use of his gauntlets that will equal the Hampshire county record.
New man in is Toby Pettman, to join Calvin Harrison, who is on 13.
Still 17 overs to come tonight - and Hants would really like to get this done tonight.
Close of play at Chelmsford
Essex 458-8 dec v Kent 207 & 265-7
Such is their over-rate that Essex managed to sneak an extra couple of overs in before the cut-off but they still couldn't break the Kent resistance.
Joey Evison's unbeaten 56 and Hamid Qadri's seven have guided Kent to stumps with a slender lead of 14 with three wickets remaining.
They are likely to need an enormous amount of assistance from the weather if they are to escape without a heavy defeat, however they have completed their first task, batting through the day, adding 261 runs for the loss of six wickets.

for Ethan Bamber
Middlesex 238 & 219-8 v Surrey 433
Ethan Bamber picks Tom Lawes perfectly and is in perfect position to clip him almost effortlessly over the deep square leg boundary for six.
Lawes replies by finding the outside edge from the final ball of the over but the chance is spurned at gully.
12 overs remain in the day. The lead is 24 with two wickets remaining. Tense.
Post update
Essex 458-8 dec v Kent 207 & 255-7
Kent lead. Though they are effectively 4-7.
A minimum of five overs remaining today. Might get an extra one in with Essex adopting a dual-spin approach.
It might be an interesting climax at Chelmsford... and everyone might be back for more tomorrow.
WICKET - James b Abbas 21
Notts 247-7 v Hampshire (chasing 411 to win)
Another wicket for Hampshire as the visitors break through again.
Mohammad Abbas bowls Lyndon James through the gate with a very good ball.
And the new ball is only 10 overs away.
If it stays light enough, this game could be over tonight.
