It's always great to see a special young talent emerge - just think of IPL prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

Today it was the turn of 18-year-old Thomas Rew to demonstrate the potential Somerset think he has with a maiden first-class century against Division One leaders - and reigning champions - Notts no less.

Sussex, meanwhile, notched their fourth win of the campaign against Glamorgan and there were wins in Division Two for Durham and Kent, for whom Hasan Mahmud marked his debut with 6-69.

Calvin Harrison to send down the final six balls of day three.

Daz Ahmed nudges into the legside to pick up a couple more runs and takes his tally to 28. And that's a wrap.

Gloucestershire fans may have feared an innings defeat at points today, but the visitors have dug in well to take the game into the final day.

James Bracey has been instrumental in that and goes to the close unbeaten on 75, with his side 67 runs in front.

Northants need three more wickets before chasing and have just one more over to go before being offered the potentially decisive second new ball.

Middlesex have been ahead throughout this match and will remain favourites to win the game going into the final day.

They had a big boost before the close when spinner Zafar Gohar came in for one over and claimed the wicket of Dan Lategan.

Worcestershire had been battling well after being give 14 overs to face but suffered the blow of Jake Libby being run out backing up when Toby Roland-Jones deflected the ball onto the stumps.

Captain Du Plooy dominated the Middlesex innings taking advantage of being given a life on 26 to go onto an unbeaten century before declaring.

The target of 358 looks a long way off for Worcestershire and Middlesex will be confident of taking the eight wickets they need tomorrow even if they have to be patient.

Charlie Bennett runs in for the final over of an absorbing day.

Tom Scriven drops the fourth ball just in front of short leg who takes it on the bounce as he sees out a maiden.

Lewis Hill has played a blinder and goes to stumps unbeaten on 64 from 214 balls.

Leicestershire have showed plenty of fight and application although Essex will remain favourites as they start the final day.

Resuming on 51-0, Foxes have put on 275 runs today for the loss of seven wickets and lead by 112.

Nottinghamshire will either have to chase down 473 or bat until the close of play on day four to avoid their first County Championship defeat since May 2025.

It would also be a first home defeat in red-ball cricket for Notts for more than two years if Somerset can take the remaining seven wickets on Monday.

The last time Notts lost at Trent Bridge was in May 2024 to Hampshire and their title defence could well be under some threat.

Thomas Rew will rightly steal all the headlines today for his maiden century, finishing on 127 not out to help Somerset amass their mammoth lead in just his second first-class game for the club.

It has been an excellent day for the visitors.

A big final day incoming.

Liam Guthrie walks back to his mark like a man who has put in a shift.

His run-up remains full of vigour as Northants look to prise out another wicket before the close.

James Bracey remains unmoved and pulls a short ball in front of square for a couple which takes him to 73 and past his first-innings score.

Three overs to go.

Tom Scriven almost pays the price for a loose shot to his first ball.

He then survives a big appeal for leg before after Charlie Bennet arrows one on to his front pad. Height may have saved him.

Two overs to go. The lead is 110.

Getting the wicket of Rob Yates before the close feels significant for Yorkshire. Not much had happened up to then after the declaration.

Warwickshire bowled a lot better in the second innings and had some success in holding Yorkshire back.

But Will Luxton, Jonny Bairstow and George Hill all got into the sixties and Bairstow was eventually able to declare and set an improbable target of 453 to win.

If Warwickshire get there it would be a county record but more realistically they have to bat all day tomorrow to earn the draw.

Yorkshire may have to be patient but they'll back themselves to get the nine wickets they need.

Leics 187 & 324-6 (f/o) v Essex 401

After the 90-run sixth-wicket stand was broken, Ben Green (29*) and Lewis Hill (63*) have maintained the momentum.

Hill pushes a single into the offside to bring up the fifty partnership for the seventh wicket, off 108 balls.

Having coughed up a 214-run deficit on first innings 24 hours ago, the hosts now lead by 110 with four wickets still intact.

Spinner Jack Leach is into the bowling attack for Somerset.

He's zoning in on middle and leg stump but the fourth delivery flicks off Brett Hutton's pads and finds the gap between wicketkeeper and leg slip to run away for four leg-byes.

Three more overs to go in this evening session.

Brett Hutton is in for Notts on nightwatch duty and he's picked himself up a nice four down to long leg from Craig Overton, whose line just strayed there.

Daz Ahmed swivels and pulls a Saif Zaib drag down square through the onside for four.

Gloucestershire are 41 in front and we have eight overs scheduled left in the day.

Not much has happened for the Yorkshire bowlers in the ten overs so far.

Rob Yates and Alex Davies have looked pretty comfortable but they still have five overs to get through to the close.

And then of course Yorkshire will have all day tomorrow to try to bowl the Bears out.
