    Warwickshire 188 & 186 v Hampshire 116 & 130-6

    Which way is this match going?

    The ball is doing all sorts at Edgbaston and Hampshire batsmen Ian Holland and Gareth Berg are doing their level best to survive.

    Berg guided Middlesex to promotion from Division Two in 2011, will he send them back down to the second division today?

  10. Vince and Holland dig inpublished at 15:59 British Summer Time 28 September 2017

    Warwickshire 188 & 186 v Hampshire 116 & 115-5

    25 overs to go at Edgbaston.

    The Australian Ryan Sidebottom is probing, Jeetan Patel is spinning the ball and the sun is out.

    Hampshire continue to creep towards safety but a wicket will take the pressure up another notch.

  11. NORTHANTS WINpublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 28 September 2017
    Breaking

    Northants beat Leicestershire by six wickets

    It's all over at Grace Road as Northants reach their target of 197 and win their ninth game in 14.

    But they're going to miss out on promotion to Notts.

    Their game at Hove is drifting towards the draw that Nottinghamshire need to go up.

    Meanwhile, Leicestershire finish bottom of Division Two with no victories.

    George D.Wright: Australian seamer Ryan Sidebottom - well this is confusing. There should be a ban on namesakes

    I completely agree George. It's not as if he's called John Smith.

    WICKET Evans (b Carter) 13published at 15:46 British Summer Time 28 September 2017

    Sussex 565 & 180-6 v Nottinghamshire 477

    Matthew Carter is filling his boots.

    The Nottinghamshire seamer bowls Laurie Evans as this match peters out to a draw.

    Sussex lead by 268 and they will probably shake hands at 16:30 BST.

  16. Sidebottom causing problemspublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 28 September 2017

    Warwickshire 188 & 186 v Hampshire 116 & 114-5

    Australian seamer Ryan Sidebottom is causing new Hampshire batsman Ian Holland lots of problems.

    James Vince (27 off 104 balls) attempts to give his partner some advice on how to buckle down and survive I assume.

    29 overs remaining at Edgbaston. This match is going down to the wire.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Richardson (b Leach) 17published at 15:40 British Summer Time 28 September 2017

    Worcestershire 335 & 242-3 dec v Durham 208 & 173-7

    Wicket number 69 of the season for Worcestershire captain Joe Leach. And he's taking his side to the Division Two title.

    The big all-rounder bowls Michael Richardson cheaply with a fine yorker - Worcestershire need three more wickets for the win.

    Sussex 565 & 161-5 v Nottinghamshire 477

    Delray Rawlins is caught for a four-ball duck after he top-edges Matthew Carter to Steven Mullaney.

    Nottinghamshire remain on the cusp of promotion.

    Leicestershire 128 & 270 v Northants 202 & 174-4

    What a shame.

    Luke Procter is out lbw to Ben Raine, just six short of his fourth first-class century.

    Northants should still win this at a canter, but Procter would have wanted to see it through.
