Warwickshire 237 v Durham 195-5
It's been quite some season so far for David Bedingham and he cracks the ball through the covers for four at the start of a new Ryan Sidebottom over to reach a 121-ball fifty.
It's his third of the season and he's also made three centuries as well.

Durham need batting pointspublished at 11:48 British Summer Time 7 July 2021

Warwickshire 237 v Durham 187-5
Durham were seven points behind Essex - who are not playing in this round of matches - and nine adrift of Warwickshire when this match began.
If it is to end in a draw, then it is important for the visitors to earn more batting points than the Bears in order to reduce that deficit.
They have now faced 74 overs in this innings, so they have another 36 to try and build this total. David Bedingham is 47 not out and Ned Eckersley is on 24 and they have now posted a 50 partnership.

Hampshire 488 v Surrey 72 & 6-2
This looks like being a very tough day for Surrey.
Hashim Amla and nightwatchman Amar Virdi are the batsmen and Brad Wheal has three balls to bowl to complete the over left unfinished last evening when he dismissed England's Rory Burns for a duck.

Acting Hampshire captain Kyle Abbott praised his side's focus after they ran through Surrey's batting line-up following a delayed start to day three at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday.
They took six wickets for 30 runs to wrap up Surrey's first innings and then removed Mark Stoneman and Rory Burns after Abbott, named as skipper after James Vince was summoned by England, enforced the follow-on.
"I asked the guys for a huge effort in a short amount of time and that is what they gave us on a disrupted day," he said.
"It's never easy to come out so late in the day and ask for performances but we knew it was going to be worse for them to bat. I am incredibly proud of the boys to get eight wickets in quick time."

It was a frantic start to the day for several counties on Tuesday with 11 players pulled out of games to a new England one-day squad.
No-one suffered more disruption than Durham, who lost Ben Stokes and Brydon Carse and drafted in Graham Clark and Jack Burnham.
"It caused a little bit of chaos among the county teams, it was a very busy morning trying to organise things," Durham head coach James Franklin told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"There's a huge amount of flexibility with the like-for-like scenario and there needs to be, because every county that had to replace players was only notified a few hours earlier and you've got to think on your feet."
