....Ben Foakes sweeps, it's another six and a 50 partnership with Aaron Hardie....

...Aaron Hardie pushes Dom Bess to mid-off and jogs through for one.

Dom Bess continues and Aaron Hardie swings his first delivery over square leg for a maximum......

Great over by Steven Patterson - just one run from it.

It's asking a lot of Yorkshire to take four wickets in six overs to win this game - but they will do their damnedst to make sure Surrey don't win it either.

Surrey 181-6 - target 227

All possible results still possible.

Ben Foakes comes down the track to Dom Bess' final ball and clears the rope at mid-wicket - how important could that be?

Foakes is 23 not out and Surrey need 44 from seven.

Unfortunately for Yorkshire, Shannon Gabriel is off the field - presumably with some sort of injury.

Aaron Hardie goes over the cover field for a welcome boundary for Surrey off Steven Patterson. Eight overs to come - 54 needed.

Still only singles for Surrey. They need 60 from nine.

Another over ticks by and it is looking like a case of 'what we have we hold' for Surrey.

A draw would take them back to the top of the table, seven points ahead of Hampshire, whereas a defeat would leave them one point behind in second.

Are Surrey still going for this?

Just a single to Ben Foakes from the latest Dom Bess over.

Only 11 more to come and the visitors need 63 to win.

Rob Keogh is the man who seals a famous victory for Northamptonshire - their first in Division One for 18 years!

Keogh takes the final wicket, with Matt Quinn caught by substitute James Sales - one of seven close fielders - to leave Sam Billings stranded on 16 not out as Kent lost 10 wickets for 97.

It's figures of 5-31 for Keogh and 5-43 for fellow spinner Simon Kerrigan.

Just how crucial could this result prove to be at the end of the season?

Every maiden over is bringing rounds of applause from the Kent faithful as their last pair dig in to try and deny Northamptonshire.

The visitors are pinning their faith in the spinners, Simon Kerrigan and Rob Keogh, who have brought them within sight of victory - but as so often, getting over the line isn't straightforward.

It's all about time now - we have around 10 minutes left for play.

After a three-over burst by Shannon Gabriel brought two Surrey wickets and four no-balls, Yorkshire skipper Steven Patterson is back into the attack.

He's right on the spot and Surrey can only add a couple of singles to their total.

A couple of quiet overs at Scarborough, with just six added to the Surrey total.

They need another 66 to win from 13 overs - still doable - and Yorkshire still want four more wickets.

Time is ticking away and Northamptonshire still can't find a way to clinch this last Kent wicket.

Josh Cobb has just sent down two maidens - in fact, it's some time since Kent scored any runs at all.

But Sam Billings, on 12 not out, and last man Matt Quinn, who has faced 26 balls without scoring, are holding out.

Nottinghamshire avoid two defeats in the same season by Glamorgan as the Division Two leaders bat through the final day for a draw.

Lyndon James hits the final delivery from Kiran Carlson for four to finish 76 not out after an unbroken stand of 75 with Steven Mullaney (28).

Earlier, Joe Clarke made 95 off 155 balls, with 14 fours, before he was caught behind off the first ball after tea.

Dom Bess tosses one up and Ben Foakes drives it away past mid-off for four. He is 11 not out and Surrey need another 72 from 15 overs.

Lewis Goldsworthy's defiance has secured Somerset a draw - the 21-year-old batted more than four hours for an undefeated 73 to steer his side to safety at Southport.

Red Rose skipper Dane Vilas conceded the draw with just two overs scheduled to be bowled and Somerset leading by 35 with three wickets standing.

Only 12 more overs for leaders Notts to survive at Sophia Gardens - they are 249-4, with Lyndon James 70 not out and Steven Mullaney on 24.

Durham are now 194-6 against Derbyshire at the Riverside - there are a maximum of 16 more overs to come there.

Nail-biting stuff at Canterbury, with Northamptonshire on the verge of what would be their first top-flight County Championship victory since 2004.

They still need to capture this final Kent wicket, but Matt Quinn has just played out a maiden from Simon Kerrigan and there are seven overs left.
