    Warwickshire players celebrate taking a wicketShutterstock

    We're one day closer to the end of the 2026 county season - just three more days of cricket remain and there's still a lot to be sorted out in both divisions.

    Warwickshire are in pole position for the Division One title, with challengers Somerset and Nottinghamshire hoping for better Fridays after struggling in their respective matches on Thursday.

    Leicestershire are now awaiting the outcome of an appeal against a points deduction as their last hope of avoiding relegation. If that appeal is unsuccessful, they will go down alongside Hampshire, although they will fight for every point possible - just in case their 27-point punishment is reduced or removed.

    Meanwhile, Kent and Northamptonshire are battling it out for the one remaining promotion spot in Division Two.

    Play starts at 10:30 BST.
