    Breaking

    Warwickshire (155 & 176) beat Yorkshire (108 & 119) by 106 runs

    Number 11 Ben Coad chips Will Rhodes straight to midwicket and that's it.

    What a performance from Warwickshire's paceman, skittling through their hosts.

    And how crucial was Michael Burgess' 66 in the first innings to give Warwickshire some much needed bonus runs.

    Yorkshire can have no complaints, they won the toss, but couldn't hold out with the bat.

    Yorkshire 108 & 116-9 v Warwickshire 155 & 176

    Warwickshire face Somerset in their final game of the season, a side who are yet to win after the division split.

    They have a golden chance to win the County Championship this term. Just one more wicket to get at Headingly first though.

    Yorkshire 108 & 114-9 v Warwickshire 155 & 176

    Nearly done.

    Steven Patterson falls for five off 10 deliveries, edging to the slips.

    A sixth catch for Bresnan too. Seven would equal a first-class record.

    Ben Coad is the final man in.

  5. Latest from Divisions Two and Threepublished at 12:03 British Summer Time 15 September 2021

    Durham are looking for more wickets at Wantage Road, where Northamptonshire are 79-2 and need another 138 to avoid an innings defeat.

    A boundary has taken Surrey's Hashim Amla to 74 not out and they are 141-7, replying to 439 all out by Essex.

    In Division Three, Grant Stewart took two wickets in two balls - including Leus du Plooy for his second duck of the game - and Derbyshire are 36-2, needing another 305 to beat Kent.

    Worcestershire opener Jake Libby has again fallen short of 1,000 runs for the season, having been caught behind off Ethan Bamber for six, and they are 27-2, with another 194 required.

    Leicestershire are now 349-2 and trail Sussex by 10 runs, with Hassan Azad 142 not out, having been overtaken by partner Lewis Hill, who has 143.

    Yorkshire 108 & 105-8 v Warwickshire 155 & 176

    That could well be that.

    Jordan Thompson swipes at one and toe-ends the ball straight to Tim Bresnan at first-slip who takes his fifth catch of the day.

    Yorkshire's last recognised batsman goes after almost 90 battling minutes at the crease.

    Steven Patterson joins Matthew Fisher (eight not out) at the crease.

    Glamorgan 309 & 124 v Gloucestershire 419 & 15-0

    Nine balls are all that Gloucestershire require to complete an impressive victory at Sophia Gardens.

    Chris Dent is 11 not out after collecting the winning run from the bowling of Kiran Carlson, with Miles Hammond unbeaten on four.

    Glamorgan managed to add 67 to their overnight 57-6 and avoid an innings defeat, but Zafar Gohar's 6-43 made victory a formality for the visitors.

    They take 22 points and Glamorgan five.

    D2: Glamorgan 309 & 124 v Gloucestershire 419

    It's going to be an early finish at Sophia Gardens, where Gloucestershire need to score only 15 in their second innings to win.

    Zafar Gohar took the final Glamorgan wicket, having Timm van der Gugten caught at long-on, to finish with superb figures of 6-43.

  10. Latest from Divisions Two and Threepublished at 11:35 British Summer Time 15 September 2021

    Glamorgan have escaped an innings defeat in Cardiff, but are only seven runs ahead against Gloucestershire on 117-9.

    Chris Rushworth has had Emilio Gay caught behind and Northamptonshire are 64-2, still needing another 153 to make Durham bat again.

    It's slow going at the Kia Oval where Surrey have added 13 runs in the first hour's play and are 120-7 against Essex, with Hashim Amla 65 not out.

    In Division Three, Derbyshire are 8-0 and need another 333 to beat Kent, who declared their second innings on 211-2.

    Worcestershire are 8-0 in their second innings and need 213 more to beat Middlesex - with Jake Libby closing in on 1,000 runs for the season.

    Play has now begun at Leicester and the home side are 299-2, with Hassan Azad 123 not out and Lewis hill on 116.

    Yorkshire 108 & 95-7 v Warwickshire 155 & 176

    Another four and then out!

    Harry Duke goes for another big one, but this time gets a leading edge and the ball loops straight back to bowler Craig Miles who grabs it diving forward.

    Excellent catch. The task for Yorkshire looks even tougher now. Warwickshire have taken four wickets for 45 runs this morning.

  12. Postpublished at 11:31 British Summer Time 15 September 2021

    Yorkshire 108 & 91-6 v Warwickshire 155 & 176

    Back-to-back fours for Yorkshire, with Jordan Thompson pulling the last ball of Tim Bresnan's over and Harry Duke clipping one off his pads from the first ball of Craig Mile's over.

    Yorkshire still need another 133 runs. Warwickshire won't mind this attacking intent.

    There may be some pretty intense lobbying by the clubs still in the title hunt before next week's games. If Warwickshire win against Yorkshire, they will want Chris Woakes available. If Yorkshire win, will Root and Bairstow be made available? And presumably Lancashire will be asking the question about Anderson and Buttler before their match against Hampshire.

    Yorkshire 108 & 82-6 v Warwickshire 155 & 176

    Four catches and now a wicket, Tim Bresnan is haunting his former club.

    Dom Bess doesn't know whether to go forward or back and ends up getting caught out in the middle as the ball thumps into his pad.

    No hesitation from the umpire, Yorkshire's title hopes are fading fast.

    Murtagh c D'Oliveira b Morris 0 (Middlesex 144 & 247 v Worcestershire 171)

    No idea how to describe that stroke by Tim Murtagh, but he is caught at backward point and Worcestershire will need 221 to win at Lord's in Division Three. Pace bowler Charlie Morris finishes with 6-52.

    Better news from the Uptonsteel County Ground where the umpires have decided that play can begin at 11:30.

    Leicestershire are 68 in arrears, with Hassan Azad (122*) and Lewis Hill (109*) the not out batsmen.

    Luke Hollman misses out on a half-century at Lord's as Charlie Morris has him caught behind and completes a five-for for Worcestershire. A fine delivery that one. Middlesex lead by 214 with just one wicket remaining.

    Daniel Bell-Drummond reaches a 66-ball half-century with a single off Dustin Melton and Kent call a halt at the end of the over - setting Derbyshire a target of 341.

    DBD put on 86 for the second wicket with Jordan Cox, who was caught behind for 81 after skying an attempted big hit off Matt Critchley.
