    Do Sussex fancy chasing 251 to beat Lancashire at Hove? They are 16-0 after four overs. James Anderson and Simon Kerrigan are sure to be key to Lancashire's chances, especially with Tom Smith struggling with a back problem.

    Yorkshire director of cricket Jason Gillespie told BBC Radio Leeds:

    "We believe that we have played some really strong cricket this year and the lads deserve it. We were ruthless.

    "It's one of the best moments in my career. I had some great times in my playing career and really enjoyed it and now this is the peak of my coaching career. It's a fantastic feeling."

    The beard that is feared keeps taking Surrey wickets. Is Moeen Ali bowling Worcestershire into Division One?

    England all-rounder Moeen has bowled Gareth Batty for 16 and the visitors are 164-7, still needing 53 runs to win.

    It has been some turnaround since lunch and the hosts are surely now on top.

    BBC Sport's Isabelle Duncan at Hove: "Sussex need 251 to win - game on. Jimmy [Anderson] needs to be tip top and Simon Kerrigan will give it some rip."

    BBC Sport's Ged Scott at New Road: "Opener Zafar Ansari reaches his third fifty in four innings against Worcestershire, but this one must be his slowest, coming in the 57th over of the innings. Surrey are 159-6 and need 58 to win."

    Durham would all but secure their Division One status with a win at Lord's, and leave Middlesex still sweating on their top-flight place for 2015.

    Much will depend on whether Lancashire can beat Sussex at Hove, although the Red Rose have played a game more than their closest rivals.

    We began the day wondering if Middlesex could repeat their mammoth run chase against Yorkshire earlier in the season. The answer appears to be no.

    The hosts are 200-8 and still 196 runs shy of their victory target.

    Toby Roland-Jones is out 26, caught by Phil Mustard off the bowling of Peter Chase. Two more wickets needed for Durham, deposed as champions by Yorkshire a couple of hours ago.

    A win for Worcestershire will be enough for the Division Two leaders to clinch promotion with a game to spare. Third-placed Essex would be unable to catch them.

    BBC Sport's Ged Scott at New Road: "Aneesh Kapil plays back to a low one from Moeen Ali and is bowled. Still 73 to win - Worcestershire probably now favourites on a worn pitch that is clearly starting to play a few tricks."

    Sussex need 251 to beat Lancashire at Hove. Luke Procter is the last man out, making 22 before falling to Steve Magoffin.

    Is there enough time for Sussex to force a victory, and further dent Lancashire's survival hopes?

    A breathless start after lunch, with wickets galore falling all over the country.

    But Middlesex are hanging on grimly against Durham at Lord's - they have added another 46 to their lunchtime score without any further losses.

    At 185-7, they need another 211 to win.

    What a moment it was as Nottinghamshire lost five wickets in 67 minutes. They were destroyed by their former bowler Ryan Sidebottom, who took four wickets for six runs this morning, finishing with figures of 6-30 as Notts crumbled. They were eventually bowled out for 177 to provide a Yorkshire win by an innings and 152 runs.

    Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire's director of cricket, described their title success at Trent Bridge as the "greatest moment in my cricket career". Yorkshire are the champions and worthy winners of the 2014 title.

    Could champagne corks be popping at New Road later this afternoon?

    A remarkable collapse by Surrey, who have lost three wickets for five runs in 16 balls, and suddenly Worcestershire are five wickets from winning promotion to Division One.

    The dangerous Jason Roy is out for five, caught and bowled by Moeen Ali for five. Still 81 to win for the visitors.

    Chris Jordan clean bowls England team-mate James Anderson for his fourth wicket of the innings. Anderson, the "Burnley Lara", made 20 from 21 balls.

    Lancashire lead Sussex by 244 runs with one wicket remaining. Tom Smith, who earlier retired hurt, is back out there batting with a runner.

    BBC Sport's Ged Scott at New Road: Surrey skipper Gary Wilson is bowled by Jack Shantry as the in-form left armer strikes in successive overs. Still 86 needed and only six wickets in hand.

    "Jason Roy is next in, to be followed by two more former Worcestershire players - Gareth Batty and Aneesh Kapil.

    "After a muted morning at New Road, the doom-laden home fans have suddenly perked up, sensing this game is not lost after all."
