  6. 'A tremedmous knock from Patterson-White'

    Notts 367-8 v Warwicks 258

    Richard Wilford
    BBC Radio WM commentator

    That's a good comeback by Nathan Gilchrist after the carnage that he suffered in his previous spell but what a tremedmous innings from Liam Patterson-White, he will always have the memory of being there with Kyle Verreynne when Notts won the title in 2025.

    A tremedmous knock from Patterson-White.

  7. Notts 367-8 v Warwicks 258

    A full ball from Nathan Gilchrist is driven back to him on the ground by Dillon Pennington and that's a good stop.

    Great week for Worcestershire. Their first XI win the One Day Cup, and now the second XI wins the County Championship!

    Jimmy, Worcester

    Cheeky Jimmy! There have been a fair few players making the move from the West to the East Midlands in recent years... Congratulations to both on their trophy wins!

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Patterson-White b Gilchrist 70 (Notts 367-8 v Warwicks 258)

    Now the other batter who was there when the championship was decided has gone.

    One over after the Kyle Vereynne dismissal, Liam Patterson-White misses a drive off Nathan Gilchrist and loses his off stump.

    Dillon Pennington is in.

  10. 'What an innings from Verreynne'

    Notts 367-7 v Warwicks 258

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Radio Nottinghamshire

    Kyle Verreynne managed to get a little feather as it went past his past.

    So there is something for Warwickshire to celebrate as Verreynne departs on 83 but what an innings it has been from the South African.

    He's hit the winning runs and he's making a habit of it in the big games but he's annoyed, I think he really wanted the century.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Verreynne c Davies b Barnard 83 (Notts 367-7 v Warwicks 258)

    The century was not to be for Kyle Verreynne, but he was there when his club were confirmed as county champions this evening.

    He shoulders arms to Ed Barnard and gets a thin edge through to the keeper. Gloved it in fact,

    Brett Hutton is in next.

  12. Close of play at Chelmsford and Harmer out

    Essex 295-2 v Somerset 433

    Craig Overton will bowl the last over of the day and he has a wicket!

    The fourth ball is short and brushes the glove of Simon Harmer as he tries to get out of the way.

    The ball loops up high to Kasey Aldridge at second slip! Taken!

    Somerset end Day Two on a high after a fairly chastening innings, thanks in the main two the Essex openers and centurions Paul Walter (158) and Dean Elgar, unbeaten on 111.

  13. 'Bears need to fix their minds on what's happening'

    Notts 366-6 v Warwicks 258

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Radio Nottinghamshire

    Kyle Verreynne and Liam Patterson-White don't look like getting out at the moment.

    Warwickshire just need to fix their minds on what's happening here, but as these two have just thrown off the weight of that championship chase, it's become very difficult.

  14. Notts 366-6 v Warwicks 258

    Now Notts lead by 100.

    Kyle Verreynne gets a single off the fourth ball to the Taz Ali over,

    Single to Liam Patterson-White to cover.

    Short from Taz Ali and Kyle verreynee swings the ball away for six with a shot near enough identical to the one he played to seal the title.

    108 ahead.

  15. Get Involved - 'Congratulations Notts'

    #bbccricket

    Sharmila: Congratulations Notts - 2025 County Champions, superbly led by Hameed.

    It's been a quality run for us (Surrey) these past 3 years, (we'd have loved 4), but it underlines the high achievement of winning the County Championship.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Lawrence b Abbott 47 (Hants 248 v Surrey 147 & 217-6

    Late movement back off the seam and Kyle Abbott has splattered the stumps again.

    Surrey have a lead of 116 and are just about getting their noses in front in this match.

  17. Essex 290-1 v Somerset 433

    Craig Overton bowls outside off stump to Dean Elgar, who leaves the ball alone.

    Maiden over. Two to bowl before stumps tonight.

  18. 6 runs

    Ali put to the sword

    Notts 355-6 v Warwicks 258

    In theory, we have 13 overs left if the light holds. Hazy sunshine beaming down over Trent Bridge currently. Must be an omen.

    Taz Ali is bowling spin with a new ball. Only 11 overs old.

    The third ball is smashed through cover for four to bring up the 100 partnership with Kyle Verreynne in 100 balls.

    The fourth is slog-swept on one knee for six! That's out of here!

    That's the 350 in the 92nd over.

    The ball has been found but it is somewhat out of commission.

    The partnership with Verreynne is now worth 107.

  19. 'Patterson-White really is enjoying himself'

    Notts 337-6 v Warwicks 258

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Radio Nottinghamshire

    Liam Patterson-White really is enjoying himself out there now.

    It brings up the 100 partnership between him and Kyle Verreynne and it's been an outstanding one that's taken them over the line.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Agarwal c Clark b Chahar 175 (Yorks 281-5 v Durham 346)

    That has been a great innings but it has come to an end.

    Mayank Agarwal has lit up day two and he was going for a huge hit over long on off Shafiq Ghafari but has mistimed slightly and holed out to a very good tumbling catch by Graham Clark.

    Yorkshire are still 65 behind Durham.
