    Some very proud Yorkshire fans out there today.

    Neil in Sheffield: Awesome performance by Yorkshire, we have a set up to be proud of. A perfect blend of youth, experience and a fine crop of current/past/future England internationals.

    Chris: Brilliant. Despite losing Root, Ballance, Bairstow, Bresnan and Plunkett to England, the squad depth this season has been awesome. Heading to the pub.

    Harry in Sheffield: The old adage - a strong Yorkshire is a strong England. #Yorkshire CCC champions!

    We'll go back to Trent Bridge in a moment, but we have another wicket to tell you about at Sussex, and it's a big one.

    Lancashire's Steven Croft has gone for 87, caught at mid-on by Lewis Hatchett off the bowling of Chris Jordan.

    The Red Rose are now 305-6, a lead of 191, as they look to avoid the drop and prevent any further celebrations in Yorkshire.

    Looking at the celebrations again, all of the Yorkshire players surround Ryan Sidebottom as soon as the wicket falls.

    They all know he has been the architect of this superb victory - by an innings and 152 runs - with phenomenal figures of 6-30 in the second innings, and 9-65 in the match.

    BBC Radio Leeds at Trent Bridge

    "An hour and seven minutes of ruthless cricket this morning from the best team in the County Championship this season. Nottinghamshire have been outclassed and Yorkshire have brought the title home for first time in 13 years.

    "It's been a fantastic effort from Ryan Sidebottom as he leads the players off. You can't account for class and he has done this in style. The fans know what a special moment this is - it's a moment to treasure."

    Durham's Chris Rushworth claims his third wicket of the morning as he bowls Neil Dexter for four, leaving Middlesex in trouble on 83-4 in their pursuit of 396 to win.

    There it is! Yorkshire have ended their 13-year wait for a Championship title!

    Ryan Sidebottom, the man who has led this Yorkshire team all morning, fittingly gets the final wicket when James Taylor loops one to substitute fielder Rich Pyrah - on for the injured Gary Ballance - in the gully for 75.

    The cheers erupt at Trent Bridge and the Yorkshire team celebrate wildly on the pitch.

    I wonder where suspended captain Andrew Gale is right now? Popping the champagne I guess...

    No name: Like most Yorkshiremen I'm a bit of an Aussie basher but what a fantastic job Jason Gillespie has done for Yorkshire.

    No name: Why is Lyth not being selected for England??? He bats, bowls, fields well. He has it all! Come on selectors....!

    Jonny in Halifax: England recall for Sidebottom now? We're going to have no players left next season. On a serious note I genuinely believe this Yorkshire side would give England a tough game!

    One more wicket needed for Yorkshire to clinch the title.

    The Ryan Sidebottom show is interrupted by Adil Rashid, who traps Jake Ball lbw without scoring.

    James Taylor (75 not out) an Harry Gurney, who has a first-class average of five, are all that stand in Yorkshire's way.

    Plenty of praise for Ryan Sidebottom on Twitter, who has taken all three wickets to fall at Trent Bridge this morning as Yorkshire close in on the Division One title.

    James F. Stark:, external @RyanSidebottom bringing it home for the White Rose! Come on, @Yorkshireccc!

    Leo Watson:, external Come on @RyanSidebottom and @Yorkshireccc! Just two more and then we are home... COME ON!!! #champions

    Ben Thapa:, external What more does Taylor have to do to get into a promising but flaky England side? Every time I watch him he gets big runs.

    Durham seamer Chris Rushworth has his second wicket of the morning at Lord's, taking what may be a key wicket in England limited-overs player Eoin Morgan for just 21.

    Middlesex now sit on 79-3, still needing 317 more to win. Will they push for the victory or try and force the draw?

    Ryan Sidebottom's figures make particularly pleasant reading if you're a Yorkshire fan.

    The 36-year-old, trying to win his fourth Championship title, has figures of 3-6 from his six overs this morning.

    Not bad at all. England recall?

    BBC Sport's Isabelle Duncan at Hove: "Ashar Zaidi is off the pitch after bring walloped on the finger on his left hand by Jos Buttler.

    "Buttler has certainly been getting on with it. Two massive sixes have landed on the roof of our commentary box. Where's our bunker?

    "Chris Nash has had to take over from Zaidi with his offies and Buttler has launched him on to the media roof. Sussex have hit back though, with a heroic catch in the deep by Chris Jordan ending a selfless innings by Buttler - a man with a mission."

    Big breakthrough for Sussex at Hove as England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler is dismissed for 33.

    I think I may have put the kiss of death on Luke Fletcher, but Ryan Sidebottom has been bowling absolutely superbly throughout this whole match and has his fifth wicket of the innings.

    Fletcher's 19-ball stint ends when he edges the left-arm seamer to Adam Lyth at second slip.

    Two wickets to go. This could all be over very, very soon. Someone get the kettle boiling.

    Injured Yorkshire bowler Liam Plunkett credits coach Jason Gillespie with getting his international career back on track.

    "He made me feel like a good cricketer," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

    "That's one of those things, having a coach's backing, that's so important for a player. He made me believe in myself and that's what's made me better over the past year."

    James Taylor is doing his best to save some of Nottinghamshire's blushes with a steady 71 from 141 balls so far. He and Luke Fletcher will want to stay together until at least lunch to give their side any chance of staying in the game.

    A couple of wickets elsewhere to tell you about.

    Warwickshire look to be keeping the pressure up on Notts in what has now become the battle for second place, with Keith Barker taking the wicket of Northants' James Middlebrook for 27.

    Already-relegated Northants still trail Warwickshire's first innings total by 117, and look set for an innings defeat.

    Meanwhile in Bristol, Gareth Roderick - who made 171 in Gloucestershire's first innings - is out for 21 and the hosts are stuttering at 53-3. Their match with Leicestershire looked certain to peter out to a draw - do the visitors, who haven't won in the Championship since September 2012, have other ideas?
