What a day.

Warwickshire beat Yorkshire to become one of four teams in contention for the County Championship title in next week's final round.

And it ends with Leicestershire pulling off the unlikeliest of victories with just a few balls remaining against Sussex.

We'll be back on Saturday for T20 Blast Finals Day and then next Tuesday there'll be full coverage of the Championship finale.

Fynn Hudson-Prentice cannot bat because of injury, so that's the game for Leicestershire.

What a brilliant day's play with Harry Swindells (69*) and Louis Kimber (59*) setting up the home side's declaration after the overnight pair of Hassan Azad (152) and Lewis Hill (145) fell to Henry Crocombe.

Sussex seemed to be securely on their way to a draw at 117-3, but six wickets went down for 11 runs as the lack of experience in their batting line-up was exposed by Callum Parkinson (4-18) and Ben Mike (4-34)..

They are involved in T20 Blast Finals Day on Saturday before playing their final red-ball game at home to Derbyshire next week, with Leicestershire travelling to New Road to take on Worcestershire.

Another good over by Ben Mike, but Joseph Sarro manages to collect a single. Sean Hunt is in behind the final delivery.

Sussex are five runs behind - there are three overs, 18 balls, to go.

Joseph Sarro is 19, he comes from Eastbourne.

Sean Hunt is 19, he was born in Guildford.

The task of saving Sussex is in their hands.

Sussex's Fynn Hudson-Prentice has a hand injury. Will he be able to bat if another wicket falls? Another Callum Parkinson maiden and there are four overs left.

Ben Mike again. Joseph Sarro survives and there are four byes in that over. Sussex need six more runs to bring the scores level.

Five overs left. This is great stuff.

There have been more twists than a Chubby Checker fan convention (you'll need to be a certain age to understand) in the last few minutes.

A maiden from Callum Parkinson to Sean Hunt. six Overs left.

Five dot balls to Joseph Sarro complete Ben Mike's over.

There are seven remaining and Sussex are still 10 in arrears with just two wickets left.

No hat-trick for Ben Mike and Sean Hunt escapes the strike (rhyming text commentary) with a single from the second ball of his over.

One final block from Simon Kerrigan who finishes with 28 from 135.

Durham have thrown everything at Northamptonshire in their 97 overs in the second innings. Number nine Kerrigan absorbed 22 of them.

What a cracking finish. Now, just one game remains. All eyes on Leicestershire v Sussex...

A miss and a single.

Simon Kerrigan will face the final ball of the over.

Three balls to go after two more deliveries just outside the off-stump.

First ball from new bowler Paul Coughlin and it's a play and a miss. Tense.

Kerrigan blocks out the last five balls.

Four overs left in the day, but if a wicket falls now, we wipe out this over and lose two for the change of innings. That would give Durham six balls to find 14 runs.

Essentially, Durham need a wicket right now to stay in the game.

Single from Jack White off the first ball of the over brings Simon Kerrigan onto strike.
