So that's it - another English cricket season is history.

Congratulations to Warwickshire for their magnificent County Championship and Bob Willis Trophy double.

Congratulations also to Glamorgan (One-Day Cup), Kent (T20 Blast), Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles (The Hundred), South East Stars (Charlotte Edwards Cup) and Southern Vipers (Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy).

Thanks to you for following our text coverage over the summer - like our radio colleagues, we're already eagerly looking forward to next season.

See you in 2022.

Winning Warwickshire captain Will Rhodes on Sky Sports: "It has been a rollercoaster of a few weeks, losing to Hampshire and then winning three games in a row to win these trophies is fantastic. I'm really proud of the guys.

"Coming here to Lord's with another trophy on the line was motivation enough. And with Bob Willis' connections to Warwickshire, we wanted to bring his trophy back to his spiritual home. That gave us more motivation to do well.

"You always believe you can win the Championship, but whether you can go on and do it is something else. We knew we had the squad to do it. We had a couple of good early wins against Nottinghamshire and Essex and then you start believing, and we got on a bit of a roll really."

Lancashire captain Dane Vilas on Sky Sports: "The boys were a bit upset with me for losing the toss, but I don't think it was that bad! They bowled incredibly well and put us under massive pressure. To be 10-4 and 12-6, it was always going to be difficult to come back from that.

"We had those up and down rollercoaster emotions (of last week), but we were really keen to come down here and do well and win this trophy for Bob. It's always special to play at Lord's so it's a little disappointing how we played, but all credit to Warwickshire. They outplayed us and deserve both trophies.

"We ticked most of the boxes we wanted this season. Unfortunately we didn't tick all of them, but it's been a good season. Everyone has put their hand up and to have two guys in the team of the year in the four-day stuff has been fantastic. But we have a lot to improve on, especially with such a young squad."

Here's the moment Warwickshire won the Bob Willis Trophy - Bears keeper Michael Burgess tosses the ball into the air after his catch to dismiss Tom Bailey brought the game to an end.

Warwickshire and Lancashire will both have at least one new face in their squads when the 2022 season gets under way as they look to repeat their impressive performances of this summer.

Alex Davies - who only managed scores of seven and 11 in the Bob Willis Trophy final - will be making a move from Old Trafford to Edgbaston.

But the Red Rose county have already secured a ready-made replacement, with Phil Salt heading north from Sussex over the winter.

Ian Kembery: Great player recruitment by Warwickshire, giving youngsters a chance that previous counties haven't. The blend is just right and the future considerably brighter than today's weather. #bbccricket

Lancashire have been well and truly thumped over the last four days, but Tom Bailey's four off the penultimate ball of the match saved it being a week they would never forget for the wrong reasons.

That took them up to the 241 they needed to avoid their worst ever domestic first-class innings defeat of 200 runs by old rivals Yorkshire in 1938.

A spectacular way to end the match and the season for Warwickshire.

Tom Bailey tries to pull Liam Norwell for four but can only get it high in the bat. It loops into the legside where wicketkeeper Michael Burgess runs from behind the stumps to take a superb diving catch in the outfield.

Warwickshire comprehensively win a match they have dominated ever since winning the toss on Tuesday morning.

Congratulations to the Bears for doing the double of County Championship and Bob Willis Trophy.

Thomas White: If you want to honour him, why not just give the Bob Willis trophy to the best bowler in the County Championship? #bbccricket, external

Tony Ord: How about the Bob Willis Trophy is contested between the County Champions and the winners of the Sheffield Shield? Would be fitting as Bob most famous match was his 8-43 against the Aussies #bbccricket

Lancashire 78 & 228-8 v Warwickshire 464-7

Jack Blatherwick dances down the wicket to Danny Briggs and plants him over long-on for six. Boom! The first one of the match.

He then gets a full toss and whacks that for four as well.

Tom Bailey is as Lancastrian as they come and he won't want to be in a team that ends up with the county's worst ever first-class defeat.

So he thumps two boundaries and then grabs a single off Liam Norwell to take the score past the record of an innings and 220 runs against the West Indies in 1950.

Great enthusiasm from Manraj Johal as he tries to stop Rob Jones from picking up a boundary - shame he dives over it though as it goes for four.

In classic fashion, the next ball is down to Johal again but he slips as he scampers in and Jones gets two more.

We can all imagine how he would have been received at fine leg if there was a big crowd in!

From Thomas Atcheson: "@bbctms, external re: Bob Willis Trophy, lots of other sports like Rugby League have a league winner and a grand final and this match seems fine. Alternatively, make it a proper charity match as the start of the new season like the Community Shield crossed with a Red for Ruth awareness day."

From Louis: "Bob Willis Trophy should be between the winners of the County Championship and Twenty20 tournaments. Perhaps a compromise format of two innings of 40/50 overs. #bbccricket, external"
