    Is it really 164 days since we began our first county cricket text commentary of the summer with the words "Conventional 'wisdom' has it that Friday 13th is unlucky - so much so that there are, apparently, two different words to describe a fear of it, paraskevidekatriaphobia and friggatriskaidekaphobia."?

    Yes it is - and here we are at the start of the final week of the county season.

    Surrey are the new champions, and Kent and Warwickshire have clinched promotion, but there is still one relegation place to be decided.

    Welcome to our coverage of the opening day of the last round of matches. Play starts at 10:30 BST.
