To add to Durham's miserable final week of the season, they’ve been deducted 10 points by the Cricket Disciplinary Committee.

Nic Maddinson was found to have used an oversized bat in Durham’s game with Derbyshire on 6 September.

He admitted a breach of ECB Directives 3.2 and 3.3.

The CDC accepted it was unintentional and have imposed the penalty for this season.

So it matters not really for Durham, but hopefully a warning to others to make sure their bats conform to the regulations.

Here comes Oliver Hannon-Dalby steaming in.

He raps Joe Weatherley on the pads and there is a huge appeal, imploring the finger to go up. Not out.

The bowler goes fuller and is whipped away to the midwicket fence.

A couple more singles to complete the over.

You don't see this very often, but Northants have taken 14 runs off a Sam Cook over.

Three fours and a two for Ricardo Vasconcelos as he moves to 26 off 22 balls with six boundaries.

They return at Hove with Glamorgan’s fate now officially sealed with play abandoned at New Road.

They knew it yesterday afternoon really when Middlesex reached maximum points.

But can they still force victory here?

If Sussex can grow their lead beyond 250 then it’ll become very tricky with 59 overs left in the game.

Tom Haines will be eyeing up a double ton, he’s on 175.

Liam Norwell to begin at the other end.

Norwell's 49 wickets last summer were a big factor in their County Championship success. In an injury-hit 2022, he has managed only 13.

Warwickshire need a big spell from him as he begins with one off his opening over.

Oliver Hannon-Dalby has the ball in his hand. Here we go...

First ball, he induces a play-and-miss from Felix Organ.

Second ball, a bit more bounce and again it passes Organ's bat.

Third ball, is that another play-and-miss?

Fourth ball, on the money and defended by Organ.

Fifth ball, bat onto pad but again testing Organ's defences.

Last ball, a bit straighter and Hampshire get a leg bye.

A fine opening over from Hannon-Dalby and hope they can get the early wickets they need.

The Warwickshire players have done their huddle and are heading out into the middle.

The Bears know it is win or bust for their season.

Hampshire need 139 runs to send them down, save Yorkshire and finish second themselves.

Play has been abandoned without a ball bowled on the final day at New Road and that means Middlesex get the draw they needed for promotion.

They'll join champions Notts in Division One next season, while Glamorgan will miss out.

Notts have wrapped it up!

Liam Patterson-White with the final wicket to seal a gargantuan win over Durham and with it secure the Division Two title.

Celebrations all around Trent Bridge.

It’s taken only 39 overs to roll Durham over a second time, their season ends in complete humiliation.

But for Notts, many thought they were the best team in Division Two and they have proved it.

No play at all this morning at Worcester because of heavy overnight and morning rain.

It’s now officially lunch and the umpires will then have a look.

Sussex - and Tom Haines - continue to frustrate Glamorgan.

The captain now has 169 and the lead is 131 as they take lunch.

Utterly meaningless in terms of the big prizes, but a good game nonetheless.

Northants will need 192 more runs this afternoon with nine wickets in hand.

This is an impossible situation for Warwickshire.

Dom Sibley has to go for big shots while keeping Ollie Hannon-Dalby off the strike, and they have only added four runs off 15 balls.

Oliver Hannon-Dalby sees off the hat-trick ball.

But he cannot get any runs off the final three balls of the over. It's a double wicket-maiden for James Fuller, whose figures are now 4-31.
