We have new leaders in Division One after a round of batter-dominated County Championship matches featuring 31 centuries.

Having begun two points behind Notts, Surrey are now one ahead despite being unable to force a win over Durham after a club record 820-9 declared, featuring an innings of 305 by opener Dom Sibley.

Yorkshire earned a vital win over Essex at the wrong end of the table and in Division Two, James Anderson led Lancashire to a first victory of the campaign against Derbyshire at Chesterfield.

That is it for our Championship live text coverage until the competition resumes on 22 July. Thanks for your company over the last four days.

In the end, time has run out for Northamptonshire's victory hopes.

With Joey Evison and Tawanda Muyeye edging Kent into the lead, the 10 minutes required for a change of innings were no longer available.

Plenty of thrills and spills during the final afternoon - but it ends in a draw.

Tawanda Muyeye drills Calvin Harrison for another single on the off side and Joey Evison adds two with a cut shot before sweeping the boundary that takes Kent into positive territory.

This is slipping away from Northamptonshire...

Tawanda Muyeye drills Calvin Harrison for another single on the off side and Joey Evison adds two with a cut shot before sweeping the boundary that takes Kent into positive territory.

This is slipping away from Northamptonshire...

Five close fielders wait to pounce as Yuzi Chahal renews his attack.

Tawanda Muyeye is unfazed and picks up another single. Kent are five short of parity and time is ticking away for the visitors...

As this game at Canterbury reaches an exciting climax, it's high time we let you know about the next round of fixtures later this month:

Division One

Utilita Bowl: Hampshire v Nottinghamshire

Taunton: Somerset v Durham

Hove: Sussex v Essex

Edgbaston: Warwickshire v Worcestershire

Scarborough: Yorkshire v Surrey

Division Two

Derby: Derbyshire v Leicestershire

Cardiff: Glamorgan v Kent

Cheltenham: Gloucestershire v Lancashire

Northwood: Middlesex v Northamptonshire

Tawanda Muyeye hammers the first ball of Calvin Harrison's next over for four - and suddenly Kent are glimpsing safety.

Every run is vital now because if the home side can get six more, there would be only one over or so for Northamptonshire to chase even a miniscule target.

Tawanda Muyeye is off the mark, turning Calvin Harrison for a single on the leg side and leaves Joey Evison, the set batter, to take the next four balls.

Evison steps onto the back foot to punch Harrison for two and adds a Kent are gradually creeping towards level pegging. They need 11 more to make the visitors bat again.

A 10-wicket win by Yorkshire and an 88th win in the history of first-class cricket against Essex. It brings to an end a run of six matches without a win since that second game of the season against Worcestershire at Headingley.

These 11 players have put the York back in Yorkshire. Well done to Jonny Bairstow, Anthony McGrath and the boys.

A first as well at this venue in first-class cricket for Yorkshire.

From Yorkshire's point of view that is the icing on the cake because Championship wins don't come easy and in recent history neither do wins over Essex.

The game turned really with that partnership on day three between Matthew Revis with that magnificent 150 and Ben Coad also a career-best for him of 89. You could almost feel the energy drain out of Essex from that point on and they haven't been able to raise it sufficiently on this final day to get out of this big hole that they dug themselves in.

It must be tempting for Kent to make a dash for the 19 runs that would force Northamptonshire to bat again - and take valuable time out of the game.

Joey Evison takes a couple off the first ball of this latest Yuzi Chahal over and there are a minimum of three remaining.

It's another Yuzi Chahal over and this time Joey Evison waits until the third ball before guiding him behind point for a single.

Chahal surprises Matt Quinn with a bit of extra flight and finds a leading edge - but the ball flies to ground and Kent breathe a collective sigh of relief.

It looks as though Northants' experiment with Liam Guthrie was a short-lived one - after just a single over, they've reverted to Calvin Harrison's leg-spin.

Joey Evison cuts Harrison for a rare boundary before taking his customary early single in the over and then it's down to Matt Quinn to do the spadework for the next four balls.

He's doing it admirably at the moment.

The close-range contingent of fielders all throw their arms in the air as Yuzi Chahal appeals for leg before against Matt Quinn.

Their entreaties fail to persuade the umpire, though and Quinn prods, fends off and finds his way through the rest of the over.

A minimum of seven overs left.

It proved to tougher than they might have expected but Gloucestershire leave Sophia Gardens with a draw,

Trailing by 148 on first innings, they lost both openers before they had 50 on the board - Joe Phillips falling to a quite astonishing catch at short leg by Asa Tribe which will live long in the memory of those who saw it.

Miles Hammond batted well for 84 before becomeing one of Ben Kellaway's six victims in a career-best bowling display.

Ben Charlesworth and Todd Murphy, though, saw the total beyond 250 before the teams shook hands.

Northants summon left-arm paceman Liam Guthrie for a burst.

Joey Evison pulls a single, exposing Matt Quinn to the final two deliveries of the over.

The first is a bouncer, which doesn't trouble him, and neither does the last which is way down the leg-side and astonishingly not called a wide.

Well played Alex Lees, a 100 in the first innings and 100 in the second innings, Emilio Gay 156 not out and Durham 262-0. They've done that really well.

Surrey tried everything with their 820-9 declared and then bowling Durham out this morning for 362 but not a great deal has happened for the bowlers today.

It means Durham will leave south London with 11 points and Surrey 15.

I think really and truly both sides have been done by the ball which is a shame.
