Division 1
Nottinghamshire v Lancashire, Trent Bridge
Nottinghamshire 272 (Northeast 65; Bailey 4-48) and 339/8 decl. (Moores 97, Bailey 3-84) beat Lancashire 168 (Bohannon 35; Hutton 5-62) and 341 (Balderson 77*; Paterson 4- 72) by 102 runs.
Dane Paterson and Luke Fletcher shared seven wickets to drive Nottinghamshire to a 102-run win over Lancashire. Resuming on 115/1, Lancashire lost Luke Wells (57) early in the session.
Wells’s dismissal triggered a collapse, as Lancashire lost the next six wickets inside 100 runs. Danny Lamb and Tom Bailey offered resistance, adding 108 for the ninth wicket. But Paterson got the better of Bailey (52) to reduce Lancashire to 318/9.
Lamb remained unbeaten on 68, but ran out of the partner. Paterson claimed four wickets, and Fletcher took three.
Warwickshire v Hampshire, Edgbaston
Hampshire 89 (Holland 28; Rhodes 5-23) and 322 ( Barker 75; Norwell 4-72) beat Warwickshire 116 (Hain 41; Abbas 5-29) and 236 (Yates 77*; Dawson 3-42) by 60 runs.
Warwickshire needed 157 runs to win on the final day, with eight wickets in hand. Robert Yates, starting on an overnight 57, added another 20 before being trapped lbw by James Fuller. This opened the floodgates, and Warwickshire were bowled out for 235 to lose by 60 runs.
Mohammad Abbas struck twice to reduce them to 191/5. Matthew Lamb remained unbeaten on 32, while the last five batters could only add 22. Liam Dawson finished with 3-42.
Division 2
Durham v Glamorgan, Chester-le-Street
Glamorgan 97 (Rutherford 43; Coughlin 4-11) and 364 (Douthwaite 96; Coughlin 5-64) lost to Durham 503/8 decl. (Jones 81; Hogan 3-80) by an innings and 42 runs.
It did not take Glamorgan much time to wrap up Durham innings on Day 4. Resuming on 333/7, Glamorgan added 31, and lost by an innings and 42 runs. Andrew Salter (90) was the first man to fall. Timm van der Gugten remained unbeaten on 26. Paul Coughlin claimed 5-64, while Chris Rushworth took two wickets.
Northamptonshire v Surrey, Northampton
Surrey 252 (Smith 123; Taylor 5-41) and 238 (Jacks 50; Kerrigan 4-36) lost to Northamptonshire 171 (Zaib 37; Clarke 3-34) and 322/8 (Keogh 99; Clarke 5-76) by 2 wickets.
Northamptonshire needed 214 to win on the last day. They chased it down with two wickets remaining.
Rob Keogh, the main architect, but fell agonisingly short of a century – by one run. Lucke Procter’s contribution was worth 57, while Adam Rossington (32) and Tom Taylor (25) too chipped in with valuable runs.
For Surrey, Jordan Clark picked up five wickets and Reece Topley two.
Division 3
Derbyshire v Leicestershire, Derby
Leicestershire 528 (Hill 113; Aitchison 3-71) drew with Derbyshire 313/8 (Guest 116; Parkinson 2-32) and 203/3 (Godleman 100; Wright 3- 36).
Leicestershire enforced a follow-on after bowling out Derbyshire for 340. But a century from Billy Godleman, and a half-century from Matthew Critchley, was enough to seal the draw for Derbyshire.
Derbyshire lost Thomas Wood on the second ball of the innings. Leus du Plooy’s dismissal reduced them to 18/2. Chris Wright then picked his third wicket by getting Wayne Madsen caught by Hasan Azad. But Godleman (100*) and Critchley (59*) then launched a brilliant rearguard effort to salvage a draw.
Sussex v Middlesex, Hove
Middlesex 676/5 decl. (Robson 253; Carson 2-183) lead Sussex 319 (Haines 156*; Hollman 5-65) and 88/3 (Haines 39; Hollman 2- 16) by 269 runs.
A prospect of heavy defeat looms large on Sussex as they walked into the day on 88/3 in the second innings, after Middlesex enforced a follow-on. They need another 269 to make Middlesex bat again. Captain Tom Haines is batting on 39 and George Garton on 10. Luke Hollman picked up two wickets.
Earlier, Sussex resumed the proceedings on 103/0. Haines made 156, and Ben Brown got out on 80. But the rest of the batters could not offer much resistance as they were bowled out for 319.
