Final round of the 2026 County Championship; nine games
Warwickshire will be champions if they take 14 or more points against Leicestershire
A win or a draw with at least six batting/bowling bonus points would be enough
They have three already after bowling out Leicestershire for 125 - Ethan Bamber takes 4-42
Dan Lawrence hits unbeaten 105 for Surrey against second-placed Somerset
England's Emilio Gay makes 141 for Durham against Lancashire
Kent need a minimum of 15 pts to win promotion after Northants all out for 103 against Middlesex
Warks v Leics 123-9
Leicestershire's last pair are making Warwickshire wait for their final wicket.
Josh Hull and Tom Scriven have seen out five overs so far.
Scriven attempts a ramp shot off Ed Barnard and picks up four more runs. Nicely played.
Lancs v Durham 178-2
Mayank Agarwal thumps a ball from George Balderson through backward point for four.
The 50 partnership comes up in the next over as Emilio Gay checks a drive off Noman Ali and an under-edge runs away through the keeper's legs.
Notts 119-3 v Yorkshire
This has been a really impressive knock by Nottinghamshire skipper Haseeb Hameed.
A square cut, again timed late, sees him run on to 48 and he helps bring up the 50 partnership with Jack Haynes (24*)
Glamorgan 157-1 Essex
Glamorgan follow Surrey's lead but get to 150 inside 50 overs.
Asa Tribe has moved on to 64 while Kiran Carlson is two away from a half-century.
Somerset v Surrey 151-3
Dom Sibley (65*) and Dan Lawrence (14*) see Surrey past the 150 mark after 52 overs.
Kent v Glos 140-4
Keith Dudgeon tests out James Bracey with a short one.
He is equal to it, and pulls the ball away to backward square for four.
Bracey is 37 not out.
Fernandes lbw b Sanderson 8 (Middx 15-2 v Northants 103)
Ben Sanderson strikes again!
Around the wicket to Nathan Fernandes, he strikes the left-hander on the pad.
It looks like it would probably have been hitting leg-stump. A 12th wicket of the day goes down at Lord's.
Northamptonshire threatening a fightback here.
Use the yellow button to get in touch
Just one wicket to get then Warwickshire will get their chance with the bat. Looking forward to seeing the evergreen Will Young stride out with Rob Yates. If they get a start then anything is possible.
Chris, Hants
Ah - looks like someone noticed my Will Young song reference when he took a catch earlier!
Nottinghamshire 101-3 v Yorkshire
A boundary for Haseeb Hameed (43*), who runs one away down to third man, to bring up Nottinghamshire's 100.
Glamorgan 141-1 Essex
Luke Hemmings
BBC Sport Wales
Carlson having looked shaky at first in the crease has improved from his two runs prior to lunch. He now has 37 runs off 73 balls and has just found the boundary with a fine drive. His fourth of the match, though we still wait for our first six.
Somerset v Surrey 143-3
New Surrey batter Dan Lawrence announces himself to the Taunton crowd with a big six off Jack Leach.
That's the fourth six of the contest so far - the crowd in sunny Somerset have been getting some good catching practice.
Luis Reece takes his third wicket of the afternoon session at New Road as Ben Allison is lbw for nought.
Not much doubt about that one and left-armer Reece now has 3-29 from 10 overs.
Worcestershire are 156-8 and Ben Gibbon is the new partner for Tom Taylor, who is 22 not out.
Robson lbw Sanderson 2 (Middx 6-1 v Northants 103)
Image source, Ian WestbrookA wicket in the first over of each innings at Lord's today!
Quite an incredible start for Ben Sanderson.
After bowling two no-balls, he comes back and raps Sam Robson on the pads.
Big appeal and he's gone. Max Holden walks out for Middlesex.
Glamorgan 140-1 Essex
The good work continues in the afternoon session for opener Asa Tribe and his captain Kiran Carlson who have passed a 50-partnership.
Zain ul Hassan is the only Glamorgan wicket to fall so far today with Zaman Akhter taking the wicket this morning.
No wickets in 12 Sam Cook overs and eight Simon Harmer overs.
Middx 2-0 v Northants 103
Middlesex begin their innings.
Well, not the ideal start for Northamptonshire's Ben Sanderson, who starts with a front foot no-ball.
Nottinghamshire 93-3 v Yorkshire
Big appeal from the slip cordon for LBW as George Hill comes back into the attack but this looks to have hit bat first.
Umpire Michael Gough suggests the same. Two balls later, the cordon are up again, this time for caught behind, but again Gough is unmoved.
Price lbw Dudgeon 52 (Kent v Glos 125-4)
Ollie Price attempts an on-drive off Keith Dudgeon but plays down the wrong line and is gone.
That's the one Kent wanted, ending Price's patient 132-ball innings.
Kamran Dhariwal comes out to join James Bracey.
Warks v Leics 104-9
Image source, ShutterstockJosh Hull is the last man in for Leicestershire.
The once-capped England Test bowler made 97 as a nightwatchman in a Championship match a few weeks ago. The Foxes need something equally ridiculous today if they are to save themselves.
Patel b Bamber 5 (Warks v Leics 104-9)
Ajaz Patel tries a pull shot off Ethan Bamber and chops onto his stumps.
Maximum bowling bonus points confirmed for Warwickshire - the first part of their title-winning equation is complete.
Somerset v Surrey 131-3
Anthony Gibson
BBC Radio Somerset
A very important wicket for Somerset. A good piece of bowling by Somerset’s captain. Pope making the mistake of playing across the line and that would probably have clipped leg stump.
