    The end seems nigh at Edgbaston, after Warwickshire's Keith Barker gets the ninth Northants wicket to fall, bowling Andrew Hall for 31.

    Northants hopes rest with numbers 10 and 11 Neil Wagner and Muhammad Azharullah as they stare an innings defeat in the face, still trailing by 36 runs.

    A wicket just before lunch at Nevil Road and it's Gloucestershire's Hamish Marshall who has become Ollie Freckingham's sixth victim of the match.

    With the hosts only having five wickets left and a lead of 224, if Leicestershire skittle the last few over quickly after lunch, we could have a game on.

    Two wickets in quick succession for Durham skipper Paul Collingwood, who strikes with the final ball before lunch to trap Dawid Malan lbw for 46.

    Middlesex are 139-7 and that victory target of 396 seems a long way off.

    BBC Radio Northampton's Chris Egerton at Edgbaston: "As Yorkshire get stuck into the champagne at Trent Bridge, Warwickshire are ready to take over from Nottinghamshire in second place.

    "Ben Duckett has just gone for 71 - caught behind off Oliver Hannon-Dalby, a former Yorkshire player, as bottom club Northants slide to 239-8. They are still 61 runs away from making Warwickshire bat again.

    "A win for Warwickshire will put them 15 points clear of Notts with one game remaining - and it makes a difference in terms of prize money, at over £100,000.

    "One bright spot for Northants is the form of 19-year-old Duckett in the last two weeks. He made his maiden first-class century last week against Somerset and has followed it up with two half centuries in this game."

    Durham are closing in on victory at Lord's - Middlesex are 126-6 needing another 270 runs to win.

    Paul Collingwood's medium-pace trundlers have accounted for Paul Stirling, who is out for 15.

    In the Division Two promotion battle at New Road, Surrey are well placed to beat Worcestrershire at New Road but they have just lost Vikram Solanki for 58, bowled by Charlie Morris.

    Chasing 217 to win, Surrey are 106-2.

    Two quick wickets for Sussex have put them in the box seat against Lancashire at Hove.

    Almost as soon as Glen Chapple walks out of the pavilion to replace the hurt Tom Smith, he walks back in after being caught by the sub fielder off Chris Jordan.

    And Simon Kerrigan soon follows soon for a fourth-ball duck - caught by Michael Yardy off Lewis Hatchett.

    Lancashire now lead by 207 runs with two wickets remaining - could be a tight finish there.

    Lancashire, who now have a lead of 205 over Sussex at Hove, have lost Tom Smith for the moment. He has had to retire hurt on 18 with a back problem, bringing 40-year-old captain Glen Chapple to the crease.

    Warwickshire look like they're heading to victory now at Edgbaston against relegated Northants with the wicket of Ben Duckett for 71.

    Former Yorkshire bowler Oliver Hannon-Dalby has the Northants man caught behind, and leaves the visitors hoping their tail will wag for the rest of the day.

    They still need 61 runs to avoid an innings defeat with two wickets left.

    BBC Sport's Ged Scott at New Road: "Surrey are taking it very steadily in their pursuit of a 217-run victory target.

    "Former Worcestershire skipper Vikram Solanki, dropped in the final overs on Thursday evening, has moved his overnight score on from 21 to 38.

    "Zafar Ansari - on just three from 37 balls when he resumed - has perked up a little to move onto 25, having survived an lbw shout from Mitchell McClenaghan in the day's first over."

    A proud day for all involved with Yorkshire, as stand-in captain Joe Root lifts the trophy with his team-mates popping champagne around him.

    Yorkshire president Dickie Bird and head coach Jason Gillespie look on as their players tip the champers in the trophy.

    Alcohol before midday? Well, I guess this is something a little bit special.

    Some more Yorkshire reactions:

    Oli in London: Fantastic work from Yorkshire, despite losing players to England they have managed to perform brilliantly all season. YCCC vs The Best of the Rest?? I think YCCC might win!

    Ron: Used to be said a strong England needs a strong Yorkshire. White Rose too good for rest of Championship, come on, let's celebrate the success of youth in Yorkshire!

    No name: Tour de France, County Championship, Brownlees, Ennis, Adams, Armistead... forget independent Scotland, Yorkshire would be an international powerhouse!

    It doesn't get any better for Nottinghamshire fans, does it? Warwickshire, their closest rivals for second place, have just taken another Northants wicket at Edgbaston, as David Willey has gone for just one.

    Jeetan Patel, who signed a new contract yesterday, has seen Willey caught by Keith Barker.

    Despite some late hitting from Andrew Hall, the visitors still trail Warwickshire by 80 runs with three wickets left in their second innings.
