The game is complete at New Road where Worcestershire have chased down 315 with 22 balls to spare.

Jake Libby's 125 not out opening the batting anchored the innings while Brett D'Oliveira provided the fireworks with 56 from 31 balls to get them over the line.

Just a second four-day victory this season for the Pears against a very young Sussex line-up.

17:51 BST 2 September 2021

Worcestershire 213 & 307-4 need 8 more runs to beat Sussex 264 & 263

A thrilling 50 comes up in just 26 balls from Brett D'Oliveira, brought up with successive sixes off Fynn Hudson-Prentice.

Worcestershire on the brink here.

All over at Bristol with just over four overs to spare.

Gloucestershire beat Northamptonshire by six wickets as they successfully chase down the 266 they were set earlier in the day.

Tom Lace finishes unbeaten on 67 and Graeme van Buuren 53 at the other end.

A sixth win of the season for the hosts in this competition and some turnaround in this particular match having looked like they might have to follow-on on the third afternoon.

Jordan Thompson switches ends for Yorkshire but can't get past James Vince (34 not out off 143 balls).

Another maiden over.

Eleven overs remaining now for Yorkshire to take these last two Hampshire wickets.

Gloucestershire (191 & 250-4) need 16 more runs to beat Northamptonshire (327 & 129)

Gloucestershire just three lusty hits away now from victory.

Graeme van Buuren reaches a half-century from 43 balls that's included five fours and two sixes.

Momentum is heavily in favour of the home side at New Road where Brett D'Oliveira has raced to 27 off 17 balls.

Just 37 runs needed from the final eight overs for Worcestershire to win an excellent game of four-day cricket.

Matthew Fisher returns for a bowl in place of Jordan Thompson with 13 overs remaining.

Bowls a very decent ball indeed to Kyle Abbott who just manages to pull his bat out of the way in time as the bounce surprised him.

Into the last 10 overs at Bristol, but Gloucestershire need just 33 more to beat Northamptonshire.

Tom Lace brings up his half-century off 75 balls with six fours.

Graeme van Buuren is going along at nearly a run-a-ball at the other end.

Seven close fielders including the wicketkeeper around the bat of Kyle Abbott as Dom Bess twirls away.

No way through the South African's defences on this occasion.

Fifteen overs to bowl.

A special moment for Archie Lenham as the 17-year-old leg spinner claims his first wicket in first-class wicket as Ben Cox holes out. It also gives Sussex a glimmer of hope as they try to hold up Worcestershire's pursuit of 315.

Archie was born in July 2004, which makes me feel exceptionally old!

Eighteen overs to go at the Ageas Bowl.

James Vince (33 off 119 balls) and Keith Barker (4 off 24 balls) are the two hoping to stand firm for Hampshire.

A minimum of 16 overs to bowl at Bristol where Gloucestershire need just 66 more runs to beat Northamptonshire.

There's been no let up in the scoring rate since Miles Hammond departed for 94 and Tom Lace (41 not out) and Graeme van Buuren (17 not out) are looking well set.

Just a quick opportunity to update you on the latest in the Fourth Test at The Oval.

England have bowled India out for 191 after Chris Woakes marked his return to the side with 4-55, but Shardul Thakur also managed to club 57 from just 36 balls to mount a counter-attack.

England are just about to start their reply and you can follow it all on the link below.

Worcestershire 213 & 223-3 v Sussex 282 & 256

A fine century from the Worcestershire vice-captain - the 10th of his first-class career.

It's taken 190 balls but Jake Libby has put his side into an excellent position to complete the chase for 315.

Is that a dropped chance?

Harry Duke can't hold on behind the stumps as he tries to take a ball down the legside off Steven Patterson.

There was a hint that James Vince might have gloved it on the way through as he mistimed a pull shot, but difficult to truly tell even after a couple of looks on the replays.

Yorkshire's fielders seem to think so though as they all did the double tea pot pose.

Vince then rubs a bit of salt into the wounds by pulling the last ball of the over for six!

Miles Hammond looked set for a century as Gloucestershire chase 266 to beat Northamptonshire.

But Tom Taylor manages to get him to inside-edge one back on to his stumps to depart for 94.

The players are shaking hands with an hour to spare at Old Trafford.

A draw has been on the cards for the last couple of days but the result takes Warwickshire into first place and Lancashire second in the Championship table.

Four wickets for Matt Parkinson and a half century from Dominic Sibley were the highlights from an otherwise sedate day's cricket.

It's a quick three-day turnaround before they go again with the Bears at home to Hampshire and the Red Rose travelling to Trent Bridge to face Nottinghamshire.

Twenty-six overs left to bowl at the Ageas Bowl for Yorkshire to claim these last four Hampshire wickets.

James Vince reaches the landmark of 100 balls faced for his 16 not out.

Lewis McManus (8 not out) is the latest man to join him in hopes of securing a draw for the hosts
