Good morning all and welcome to day four of this county cricket blog. The Championship is reaching its business end and we could well have some exciting finishes on our hands in the six remaining live fixtures.

A reminder that Gloucestershire v Northamptonshire was abandoned due to an unsafe pitch, then on Saturday Warwickshire completed an innings victory over Kent and Hampshire did the same at Lancashire. All eyes today will be on Somerset and if they close out the win against Durham and whether Surrey can force any kind of result at Trent Bridge. Division Two perhaps looks less interesting, but a few quick wickets and we may get a result or two, especially in the Glamorgan v Leicestershire contest.

All the matches started on time. Even though the weather today wasn't as good as yesterday.
At Trent Bridge, Notts will be spinning from the start. Surrey will be looking to build on their lead – Will Jacks was at wicket yesterday – and although it rained all night in Nottingham, that didn't stop Haseeb Hameed relying on Farhan Ahmed and Liam Patterson-White.

Rose's Thing Of course, it starts soon, so follow along with James Wallace.
Looking at the table for Div One, If Somerset wins and Surrey lose, things could (finally) get interesting for both. A high-scoring draw is good news for Notts in their fight against relegation, but frankly terrible news for Lancashire. Surrey are comfortably at the top of the table even without a win at Trent Bridge, but Somerset may get some late confidence that a title shot is within their grasp.
Grab a coffee and start streaming.

preamble
Good morning everyone and welcome to day four of the County Cricket Blog. The championship is nearing its final stages and with six live matches remaining, we can expect an exciting conclusion.
The Gloucestershire v Northamptonshire game was abandoned because of a dangerous pitch, then on Saturday Warwickshire recorded an innings win over Kent and Hampshire did the same at Lancashire. Somerset And whether they can get a win against Durham and whether Surrey can get some sort of result at Trent Bridge. Division Two is probably not as exciting but with a few quick wickets there might be a result or two, particularly in the Glamorgan v Leicestershire game.
Tune in for the kick-off at 11am BST and feel free to email me or comment below the line and join in the usual county cricket chat – it should be a great day!
