    And with that Glamorgan victory, our live text ends for this round.

    And what a round it's been!

    The County Championship race couldn't really be any closer at the halfway stage with the top two, Surrey and Hampshire, separated by just three points.

    Things take a break for a couple of weeks as the T20 Blast returns, with the next lot of fixtures starting on 26 June.

    Until then, goodbye.

  2. GLAMORGAN BEAT SUSSEXpublished at 18:30 British Summer Time 15 June 2022
    Breaking

    Glamorgan (494 & 141-5) beat Sussex (376 & 258) by five wickets

    Chris Cooke finishes it off, steering Archie Lenham through the covers for another four and Glamorgan get there with 23 balls to spare!

    That victory lifts Glamorgan to joint third in Division Two, while Sussex remain at the foot of the table and without a win.

    Glamorgan 132-5 (target 141) v Sussex

    That could be the decisive over in Cardiff - leg-spinner Archie Lenham disappeared for 13 and Glamorgan need just nine to win now.

    Chris Cooke thumped two boundaries from successive deliveries, while Sam Northeast has moved on to 41 not out and his innings should get Glamorgan over the line.

  4. LANCASHIRE BEAT WARWICKSHIREpublished at 18:23 British Summer Time 15 June 2022
    Breaking

    Lancashire (291 & 329-6) beat Warwickshire (292 & 327-9 dec) by four wickets

    The game ends with two no-balls from Henry Brookes for two bouncers that were over head height!

    Luke Wells has been the star for Lancashire with 175 not out. The innings of a lifetime from the left-hander.

    Rob Jones (66) and George Balderson (33) also played their part as Lancashire recovered from 93-4 to chase 329.

    What a win!

    Balderson c Rhodes b Briggs 33 (Warwickshire v Lancs 325-6, target 329)

    Surely too late for Warwickshire?

    George Balderson chips Danny Briggs to Will Rhodes at mid-wicket.

    But he's done his bit with an excellent 33.

    Lancashire only need four for victory as Danny Lamb comes in.

    Root c Seifert b Brooks 17 (Glamorgan 118-5 v Sussex) - target 141

    Just as you think Glamorgan are in the home straight, Sussex peg them back again...

    Jack Brooks picks up his second wicket, having Billy Root caught down the leg side as Tim Seifert takes a neat diving catch.

    There are 39 balls left, 23 needed for victory...

  7. Postpublished at 18:16 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Warwickshire v Lancashire 321-5 (target 329)

    Four more to Luke Wells and then a couple of twos off Henry Brookes and Lancashire need just eight more for victory in the Edgbaston sunshine.

    What an incredible victory this is going to be. Wells has 172!

    Minnen Lamm: Massive win for Hampshire… phenomenal turnaround from a sticky first couple of days. Ferocious bowling attack and great batting depth. Title push is on!

    That win takes them just three points behind leaders Surrey at the halfway stage of the season.

  9. Postpublished at 18:07 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Warwickshire v Lancashire 309-5 (target 329)

    Eight runs come off Henry Brookes' 17th over, including a 21st four to Luke Wells.

    Lancashire are strolling home.

  10. Postpublished at 18:04 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Glamorgan 100-4 (target 141) v Sussex

    Glamorgan are edging, rather than cantering towards their target of 141 - it's all scampered singles rather than a flurry of boundaries.

    Sam Northeast is still at the crease, with 30 not out from 74 balls and he's just raised the total into three figures, while Billy Root is at the other end on seven.

    Ten overs remain in Cardiff and the home side need just 41, so you'd still back them here. But, as always, a couple of wickets would change the picture.

  11. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 18:02 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Warwickshire v Lancashire 301-5 (target 329)

    George Balderson is playing an absolute gem of a knock here for Lancashire.

    The left-hander swipes Oliver Hannon-Dalby for a flat six to go to 29 off 31 balls.

    The visitors need 28 more for victory at Edgbaston. They really should do it from there with nine overs left.

  12. Postpublished at 17:57 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Warwickshire v Lancashire 291-5 (target 329)

    The target is now below 40 for Lancashire.

    With 10 overs to go and 38 needed, they should get home.

  13. HAMPSHIRE BEAT YORKSHIREpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time 15 June 2022
    Breaking

    Hants (410 & 198-8) beat Yorkshire (428 & 178) by two wickets

    James Fuller guides a short one from Dominic Drakes over the slips and down to the third-man boundary and HAMPSHIRE WIN!

    What a game.

    Liam Dawson set it up with a brilliant 67 off 68 balls and Fuller finished it with an important unbeaten 16.

    Hants 194-8 (target 197) v Yorkshire

    Kyle Abbott punches Matt Revis through the covers. FOUR.

    Three needed for victory.

    Warwickshire v Lancashire 281-5 (target 329)

    Lancashire need 48 runs off 11 overs by the way.

    All our focus will go on this game, and Glamorgan v Sussex, once Hampshire v Yorkshire is done.

    WICKETpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Dawson c Bess b Revis 67 (Hants 190-8, target 197 v Yorkshire)

    Unbelievable.

    Liam Dawson swats Matt Revis into the leg-side but it goes straight to Dom Bess.

    Dawson goes with seven runs still needed for victory.

    Kyle Abbott joins James Fuller in the middle.

  17. Postpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 15 June 2022

    Hants 190-7 (target 197) v Yorkshire

    It's just wonderful batting.

    Liam Dawson punches Matt Revis through mid-off for his 11th boundary and Hampshire now need just seven for victory.

    BUT HOLD ON...

    Warwickshire v Lancashire 273-5 (target 329)

    What an innings this is.

    Lancashire opener Luke Wells goes past 150 with a couple off Liam Norwell.

    But he's got bigger things to worry about. Like the 56 that his side still need for victory.

    Carlson st Seifert b Lenham 45 (Glamorgan 85-4 v Sussex) - target 141

    Glamorgan aren't quite home and dry yet as Archie Lenham lures Kiran Carlson down the wicket with 56 still required.

    Tim Seifert takes off the bails and Sussex have their fourth wicket.

    Billy Root comes in to join Sam Northeast, with 15 overs still remaining at Cardiff...

    Hants 186-7 (target 197) v Yorkshire

    Lovely shot!

    Jordan Thompson overpitches and Liam Dawson strokes him down the ground for four.

    11 required.
