  1. 200 runs

    200 for Luis Reece

    Kent v Derbyshire 529-3

    There is the double century for Derbyshire opener Luis Reece who has batted superbly.

    He didn't have a County Championship century to his name this season before this final round of matches...

    Reece is also the top wicket taker in Division Two - he can do it all!

  2. 100 runs

    100 for Lewis Goldsworthy

    Essex v Somerset 433-9

    Lewis GoldsworthyRex Features

    Single to Jake Ball off Simon Harmer.

    Over to Lewis Goldsworthy on 99.

    Yes! Nudged to short fine leg and he has his hundred in 191 balls with 14 fours.

    Fine innings. Patient and a sound technique.

    His first century of the season and the third of his career.

  3. Essex v Somerset 431-9

    Lewis Goldsworthy lofts Charlie Bennett over long on.

    He hasn't quite timed it but still gets four to move to 99.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Luke Wells

    Glamorgan 265 v Lancashire 143-2

    Lancashire opener Luke Wells reaches 50 from 115 balls with nine boundaries.

    He saw fellow opener Keaton Jennings fall for 49 earlier so will be glad to get over the line.

    At the other end, George Bell has moved on to 30 from 43 balls.

  5. Notts 71-2 v Warwicks 258

    Haseeb Hameed takes two successive fours off Ethan Bamber, nudging wide of the slips to deep third and then punching through cover off the back foot.

    He ends the over unbeaten on 40.

  6. Madsen out for 198

    Kent v Derbyshire 525-3

    Oooh Wayne Madsen falls just two runs shy of a double century as Kent finally get the third Derbyshire wicket.

    Luis Reece is also on 198 - can he seal the deal?

    The duo's partnership was worth a massive 358!

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Fuller c Taylor b Chahar 21 (Hants 227-7 v Surrey 147)

    Potentially an important breakthrough for Surrey as James Fuller holes out to James Taylor on the deep midwicket boundary.

    The lead is still only 80 which, while significant, is by no means a match-winning advantage.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Gregory c Porter b Harmer 9 (Essex v Somerset 425-9)

    Lewis Gregory had just belted Simon Harmer for a six, sweeping over square leg but the spinner has his revenge.

    The next ball draws Gregory into a similar shot and he's top edged it to Jamie Porter on the leg side.

    Jake Ball is the Somerset number 11.

  9. Notts 61-2 v Warwicks 258

    Perhaps we made it sound easy this morning. Well, it isn't.

    Still plenty of work for Notts to do to wrap up the Championship title.

    Joe Clarke deflects Ethan Bamber to long leg for one.

    Haseeb Hameed is forward, beaten on the outside edge of a defensive bat.

    Hameed stays in the crease to glance the last ball of the over leg side for a single.

  10. Hants 217-6 v Surrey 147

    Surrey teenager Ralphie AlbertGetty Images

    Surrey teenager Ralphie Albert in England U19 colours

    Ralphie Albert, 17, is making his first class debut and now he has the ball in hand for the first time.

    His grandfather, snooker legend, Jimmy White will no doubt be proud as punch.

    It is slow left arm spin and Hants pot two reds off it with just the two singles taken.

    (That is the snooker stuff done. No mention of Surrey's 147 will be forthcoming here, promise)

  11. 'An absolute beauty from Bamber'

    Notts 59-2 v Warwicks 258

    Richard Wilford
    BBC Radio WM commentator

    Ethan Bamber is very good round the wicket to a left hander and he found the angle there.

    It was an absolute beauty.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Leach c sub (Fernandes) b Bennett 14 (Essex v Somerset 412-8)

    Jack Leach is half forward to drive Charlie Bennett and edges to the substitute keeper, Simon Fernandes.

    Loose shot.

    Somerset captain Lewis Gregory joins the other Lewis (Goldsworthy) in the middle.

  13. 'A magnificent season for Simpson'

    Worcs 123 v Sussex 327-8

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex

    It's been a magnificent season for John Simpson. Four centuries for him this season and I loved the way all the Worcestershire fielders joined in the applause as well.

    A super knock.

  14. 50 runs

    50 partnership for Hants

    Hants 215-6 v Surrey 147

    Washington Sundar (32) and James Fuller (15) are more than capable with the bat and have steadied a listing ship putting on a half century for the seventh wicket.

    Surrey's resurgent charge, which saw them fire out three wickets in no time this morning, has rather run out of steam as Hampshire lead by 68 runs.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    McCann b Bamber 1 (Notts 57-2 v Warwicks 258)

    Freddie McCann survives an LBW shout from Ethan Bamber but he's gone this time.

    Great delivery from round the wicket, angled in to beat the bat and knock out the middle stump.

    Joe Clarke is in next.

  16. Northants 15-0 v Leics 429

    Leicestershire captain Ian Holland is into his fourth over, conceding just a single.

    The run rate has been pegged down to two an over.

    Chris Wright is leg side to Arush Buchake, who tucks the ball away for a single.

    Lewis McManus drives and misses, as the ball fizzes past his inside edge.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Bean lbw b Raine 1 (Yorks 9-1 v Durham 346)

    That has been a difficult innings with one run from 18 balls and 29 minutes. And Finlay Bean might count himself lucky he lasted that long.

    Ben Raine has had a couple of shouts that looked every bit as good as that one but finally he gets the verdict.

    That one, delivered from around the wicket, perhaps straightened just a touch as it approached the pad and the finger went up.

  18. 'Risk and reward from Booth'

    Notts 56-1 v Warwicks 258

    Richard Wilford
    BBC Radio WM commentator

    Of this Bears attack Michael Booth is the one who is gonna hit the wicket hard, he's the one that is going bowl that sorter length and bring a bit hostility to it.

    He'll concede some runs as he's done but it's risk and reward. He gets the wicket and just opens up one end.

  19. 100 runs

    100 for Simpson

    Worcs 123 v Sussex 306-8

    A flick off his legs not quite timed but John Simpson gets enough on it to send it to fine leg boundary.

    It brings up a fourth first class century this season for the Sussex skipper and has taken 138 balls with 18 fours.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Slater c Davies b Booth 22 (Notts 56-1 v Warwicks 258)

    Michael Booth celebrates a wicketRex Features

    The Bears have a breakthrough in the 20th over.

    Ben Slater looks to force a slightly short ball from Michael Booth away off the back foot and he edges to keeper and captain Alex Davies.

    Freddie McCann bats at three for Notts.
