County Championship latest: Five games up for grabs on final day

Updates from the final day of the five remaining County Championship games as Kevin Pietersen does a disappearing act...

DIVISION TWO

SURREY v LEICESTERSHIRE

Tea: Absolutely fantastic rearguard action from the Leicestershire tail, who have now extended their lead to 205 with two wickets remaining. A patient 78 from wicket-keeper Niall O'Brien started things off, Clint McKay made 41 and currently Rob Taylor (38) and Jigar Naik (24) have added 52 for the ninth wicket. Still no sign of Kevin Pietersen, who went for a scan on a calf injury earlier in the day.

DERBYSHIRE v NORTHANTS

Tea: Northants 309-8, chasing 427. All results still possible with one session remaining, although with just two wickets needed Derbyshire are favourites. Scott Elstone took the wickets of dangerous hitters David Willey and Steven Crook soon after lunch to leave the visitors 182-7 and struggling, but Rob Keogh (135 no) continues to keep them in with a sniff of victory and has reached a fifth first-class hundred. Keogh's eighth-wicket stand with Josh Cobb was worth 83 and he has already shared 44 with Rory Kleinveldt (20 no). 

KENT v GLAMORGAN

Tea: Glamorgan are trying to cling on for a draw at Canterbury but Dean Cosker's night-watchman effort is finally over. Cosker made a career best 69 (at the age of 37!) but became the sixth wicket to fall on 173. They have since moved on to 194-6 with Mark Wallace on 17 and Graham Wagg eight. They need 210 runs for victory (unlikely) or to avoid losing four final session wickets (possible).

LANCASHIRE v GLOUCESTERHIRE

Tea: Something of a recovery from Lancashire, although there was disappointment when Alex Davies was dismissed by Kieran Noema-Barnett with the last ball before tea for a fine 58. He hit four fours and three sixes. Alviro Petersen is unbeaten on 63 with Lancashire on 140-5. That's much improved on 22-4 when Steven Croft was dismissed by David Payne.

DIVISION ONE

YORKSHIRE v HAMPSHIRE

Yorkshire win by 305 runs. Hampshire's dogged resistance rather frittered away in the first hour of the afternoon session and they were bowled out for only 143 in their second innings. Will Smith made it to the end with his wicket unbroken - making 64 - but after Lewis McManus went for 28 things fell apart. Adil Rashid (4-48) accounted for Gareth Berg (12) and Andre Adams (0) before Steve Patterson ended Hampshire's hopes by having Fidel Edwards caught by Alex Lees for only one. A very handy 23 points for the reigning champions.
