    Well it threatened to be a day of slightly underwhelming draws but wow, that game at Headingley certainly didn't let us down!

    I genuinely thought Sussex would hold out and make up for their unbelievable collapse earlier in the session.

    Thanks for keeping with us - the County Championship now takes a break but we'll be back to bring you action as the T20 Blast begins on Wednesday.

    In the meantime, you can read reports from all of today's action right here.

    How can anybody not love cricket?

    That win puts Yorkshire second in Group Three by the way. They're just four points behind rivals Lancashire.

    Sussex stay bottom.

    WHAT AN IMPACT!

    With just five overs and two balls remaining, Sussex's Ben Brown edges Steven Patterson behind to keeper Harry Duke.

    Incredible. Sussex were comfortable on 180-4 a little over an hour ago.

    And Patterson brings himself on to bowl.

    Patterson v Brown. Captain v captain. Can either make the difference?

    Skipper Steven Patterson immediately asks Jamie Atkins if he's ok.

    Solid thumbs up from Atkins. We'll continue.

    Ouch. Jordan Thompson's bouncer strikes number 11 Jamie Atkins on the helmet.

    The physio is being called on.

    A big oooof from the crowd as Jamie Atkins edges Jordan Thompson to Adam Lyth in the slips.

    Problem is, the ball bounced just in front of the former England man.

    There's a few hundred still in Headingley by the way. They're creating some atmosphere.

  8. Postpublished at 7 overs remain

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 211-9

    My bad, I'd missed-counted. There was one more ball to go, which Ben Brown whips away for four.

    Yorkshire won't mind these attacking shots.

  9. Postpublished at 7 overs remain

    One from the over.

    No danger from any of David Willey's last six balls.

    Ben Brown blocks out Jordan Thompson for five balls before cutting him away for four off the last.

    Eight overs survived by this pair. Eight overs to go.

    Six balls at Jamie Atkins but no luck for David Willey.

    Another four from Atkins. A proper shot this time though, through the covers. Sussex's number 11 moves to nine from 22.

    Yorkshire 558 v Sussex 313 & 196-9

    Dom Bess has picked up a finger injury and can't continue.

    David Willey returns to the attack although he's immediately pulled by Jamie Atkins for four.

    Wasn't too much control in that shot.

  14. Postpublished at 10 overs remain

    Over number 109 completed.

    They couldn't survive this, could they?

    Was that the moment!?

    Ben Brown edges Jordan Thompson but Dom Bess can only get finger tips to the ball, diving in the slips.

    Four runs. Wow, how's your luck?

    And no runs from Dom Bess' latest over to Jamie Atkins.

    It's umbrella field time now for Yorkshire. Everybody is in a catching position.

    Change of bowling as Jordan Thompson replaces David Willey.

    A brilliant spell from Willey who has figures of 3-13.

    Big appeal as Harry Duke thinks he's stumped Jamie Atkins off Dom Bess.

    Umpire is unmoved.

    Another maiden, 14 overs remaining. Sussex couldn't steal a draw from this could they?
