Latest updates from today's County Championship cricket matches...
LV= County Championship Division One:
Somerset 200 & 402-8 beat Nottinghamshire (410 & 190) by two wickets: Somerset have done it! An incredible finish to an incredible match as Abdur Rehman (15 not out) hits Matthew Carter for three boundaries in four deliveries to complete a brilliant run chase.
Jim Allenby (62) and Peter Trego (79) both fell this morning, having put the hosts in with a shout with a sixth-wicket stand of 116, and Rehman and Michael Bates (14 not out) got them over the line with a 21-run stand for the ninth wicket. What a morning at Taunton!
Sussex 201 & 114-2 v Durham (301 & 413): Sussex need the small matter of 514 to beat leaders Durham at Arundel and they have made a reasonable start. Michael Yardy was caught behind off Paul Coughlin for 28 but Luke Wells is 53 not out and the hosts have reached 114-2.
Durham piled on the runs earlier, reaching 413 all out in their second innings, having been 13-4 at one point yesterday. Gordon Muchall reached three figures before falling for a fine 115, Paul Coughlin played well for 64, and Aussie John Hastings smashed 91 off just 72 balls, hitting five maximums.Steve Magoffin removed Coughlin and finished with 5-89.

LV= County Championship Division Two:
Surrey 406 & 270-5 v Glamorgan (437): Second century of the match for Arun Harinath! The Surrey opener made 120 in the first innings and 104 in the second before being trapped lbw by Andrew Salter. Tremendous stuff from the opener. Surrey skipper Gary Wilson has taken up the baton and has moved on to 54no. They lead by 239 at the moment.
It was all about Graham Wagg this morning, the Glamorgan seamer (previous best first-class score 116!), reaching 200 off 215 balls, with 21 boundaries and 11 sixes. What a knock! I think we can forgive him falling to Stuart Meaker the ball after reaching his landmark.
A first innings lead for the visitors looked unthinkable when they were 54-5 yesterday but their tail certainly Wagged! Michael Hogan (24 not out) gave fine support and helped add 105 for the final wicket. Updated 18:26
