Final round of 2022 County Championship season
One of Kent, Yorkshire & Warwickshire to be relegated from Div One
Surrey crowned champions last week
Promotion from Div Two between Notts, Middlesex and Glamorgan
Northants v Essex 94-3
If Dan Lawrence was hoping to give the England selectors a nudge before their winter tours of Pakistan and New Zealand, this isn't ideal.
The Essex batter has gone first ball at Northants.

Lancashire 96-2 v Surrey
A second wicket of the morning for Dan Moriarty and it's an absolute beauty.
Coming round the wicket, the left-armer gets one to turn sharply past the defences of Josh Bohannon and strike the off stump.
Worcs 26-2 v Middx
Some rain in the West Midlands.
And it brings an early lunch.
Two early strikes for Middlesex inside six overs before the hosts settled.
Sussex v Glam 49-1
It's been a rollocking start for Glamorgan having won the toss.
David Lloyd, fresh from his triple-hundred last week, has taken Pakistan quick Faheem Ashraf for three back-foot bondaries.
And taken two more from Tom Haines.
Eddie Byrom at the other end has found the fence four times himself but now falls, edging a back-of-length ball from Brad Currie behind that gently swung away.
Northants v Essex 76-1
Here's an image you don't see very often. Essex opener Alastair Cook has been bowled by Tom Taylor for 31.
Not a usual method of dismissal for the former England captain.

And it only takes four balls for Kent to strike!
Somerset opener Tom Lammonby attempts a front-foot drive off Matt Quinna and it flies into the slip cordon for Kent skipper Jack Leaning to grab it at second slip.
Kent v Somerset 0-0
Somerset have won the toss and are going to have a bat at Canterbury.
Worcs 26-2 v Middx
Worcestershire trying to steady themselves after the early loss of Ed Pollock, for a diamond duck, and Jake Libby, in only the sixth over.
Pakistan's Azhar Ali is 1 from 33 balls trying to repel the Middlesex attack with Jack Haynes, 14, alongside him.
41-year-old Tim Murtagh has reeled off eight overs for only eight runs so far.
Yorkshire v Gloucestershire 47-4
It's the Matt Fisher show at Headingley this morning.
Four Gloucestershire batters back in the hutch and all of them to Fisher. The latest to fall is Ollie Price, who is turned around by Fisher with the ball flying into the hands of James Wharton at fourth slip.
Fisher has 4-19 and he is generating a bit more pace and bounce from that lovely easy action of his.
Warwickshire v Hampshire (no play before lunch, rain)

Rain is not Warwickshire's friend this week. They need results not draws if they're to hang on to their Division One status.
Ignoring one or two caveats, the equation for the Bears is basically simple. To avoid becoming the fifth county champions to be relegated they have to beat Hampshire and hope either Kent or Yorkshire lose their respective games.
Gary Barwell and his Edgbaston groundstaff are confident they can get the ground dry and playable quickly between showers. The fear is all their work will be undone by rain returning throughout the day.
Lancashire 58-1 v Surrey
Luke Wells had started well, but his positivity is his undoing.
He tries to advance down the pitch to Dan Moriarty's spin, but the ball grips and Wells is caught bat-pad by Ryan Patel, making a fine grab at short leg.
A first Championship wicket since September last year for Moriarty.
Notts 49-1 v Durham
Ben Slater should have been taken at slip a few overs previously, with an edge from Ben Gibson beating the men at first and second, who appeared to get in the former's way.
It matters little because Slater has now fallen, edging Ben Raine behind to one that angled in a fraction from a good length to graze the inside edge.
Yorkshire v Gloucestershire 35-3
A third wicket for Matt Fisher and a third left-handed victim.
Coming round the wicket, he gets one to lift and bounce and Miles Hammond fends it behind.
A first bowling bonus point for Yorkshire, all courtesy of Fisher.
Northants v Essex 68-0
There's little riding on this one at Wantage Road as fifth-placed Northants take on fourth-placed Essex.
But Nick Browne and Alastair Cook have got the visitors off to a fine start with a fifty stand.

Warwickshire v Hampshire
There will be no play before lunch at Edgbaston, which is being taken early at 12 noon.
Not good news for Warwickshire.

Keaton Jennings hits Jamie Overton for four and that brings up a half century opening stand between him and Luke Wells.
The next ball goes for four leg byes and Lancashire's good start continues.
Yorkshire v Gloucestershire 31-2
Matt Fisher at the double for Yorkshire!
Fisher has now removed both Gloucestershire openers as he cramps Chris Dent for room outside off and the left-hander chops on.
Kent v Somerset (12.00 BST)
Following an inspection, play will begin at Canterbury at noon, 90 minutes later than it should have done.
Given how late in September this is, it is hard to imagine play going on too late this evening so the overs lost will struggle to be made up.
Yorkshire v Gloucestershire 30-1
Matt Fisher makes the breakthrough!
This is what Yorkshire have missed all summer. Fisher gets one to climb a little coming round the wicket and it's enough to take Ben Charlesworth's edge.
That was a beauty from Fisher. His first wicket since April.
Yorkshire v Gloucestershire 28-0
Yorkshire's bowling has been accurate this morning, but they would have loved a wicket or two.
Ben Coad's opening spell has finished with Matt Fisher returning for another stint from the other end.
