County Championship Division One - Day Three

After 22 wickets fell on day one at Taunton, very few cricket experts were surprised to see the game conclude on day two on Thursday with Somerset winning by five wickets against Durham.
Only ten points separate the teams in the County Championship Division One now with Somerset up to fourth and Durham now in sixth.
Let's take a look at the match situations in the other four live matches!
Hampshire vs Nottinghamshire
The visitors racked up the runs on days one and two before eventually declaring on 578/8 but Hampshire showed that this is still an excellent batting track by reaching 80/0 at the close.
It looks like a tough assignment from here for high-flying Nottinghamshire to get a win from here and the bookies don't fancy their chances!
Sussex vs Essex
We have seen 19 wickets fall across the opening two days in Hove with Essex putting themselves in a strong position on 475/9 in response to Sussex making 204.
It's exactly where Essex would have liked to be considering they have won only one match so far in this campaign!
Yorkshire vs Surrey
There has been only 110.1 overs in this contest in Scarborough over the opening two days and it is hard to see a route to victory for table-toppers Surrey at this stage.
The hosts will resume on Thursday on 376/5 and will be looking to bat once and bat big!
- Yorkshire are 1.33 to win this match.
- Surrey can be backed at 3.25 to win in Scarborough
Worcestershire vs Warwickshire
Bottom of the table Worcestershire are in a strong position after two days in Birmingham and a much-needed win could be on the cards!
The visitors will begin day three on 31/0, a lead of 180 runs and they will look to score quick runs on Thursday with a view to taking some Warwickshire wickets late in the day.
