County Championship leaders Nottinghamshire held to a draw by Yorkshire
Nottinghamshire stayed top of Rothesay County Championship Division One but their lead is now just two points after the draw with Yorkshire at Trent Bridge. Yorkshire's first innings had stretched until lunch on day four thanks in part to an unbeaten 93 from Matthew Revis, helped by an earlier 224 by Finlay Bean, as they were all out for 510 thus setting an insurmountable challenge for the leaders to overcome to take the win. Advertisement Ben Slater hit an unbeaten 74 for the hosts, the sixth consecutive innings in which he had passed 50, as they reached 148 for one before declaring. Surrey, targeting a fourth successive title, had wrapped up a dominant nine-wicket win over Worcestershire on Tuesday. Danial Ibrahim's unbeaten 121 and John Simpson (85) helped Sussex to a draw at Durham, as they declared on 322 for six. The visitors had resumed play on 111 for four with a lead of 145 and successfully slowed the game down despite probing bowling from Matthew Potts and Ben Raine. Potts came closest to making a breakthrough when Ollie Robinson dropped Simpson on 77, as the teams remained lodged in mid-table. A 215-run sixth-wicket partnership by Tom Westley and Michael Pepper saved Essex from a third County Championship defeat of the season against Hampshire at Chelmsford. Advertisement Essex were still 26 short of making Hampshire bat again at 131 for five when the pair began their three and a half hour partnership – which carried them to 358 for six declared. The visitors had enjoyed a lead of 157 after their first innings but Pepper's 140 – his highest first-class score – and an unbeaten 130 from Westley took the game away from them, despite Hampshire spinner Liam Dawson finishing on four for 82. Warwickshire had been set an unlikely target of 377 from 69 overs by Somerset at Edgbaston, the sides unsurprisingly coasting to a forgettable draw on the final day. Tom Latham's 52 and Sam Hain's unbeaten 68 were all Warwickshire could muster after Somerset had extended their second innings to 229 for eight in the morning. In Division Two, leaders Leicestershire stayed unbeaten but Glamorgan denied them a sixth win in eight games. Advertisement It took a commendable effort from the visitors to deny the Foxes, as centuries from Sam Northeast and Colin Ingram contributed to a fourth-wicket stand of 225 at Grace Road. Glamorgan were 92 behind and three wickets down at the start of the day but Northeast's 139 and Ingram's unbeaten 133 helped them to a second-innings total of 342 for six when the declaration came. Second-placed Derbyshire were made to settle for a draw despite 91 not out from Harry Came against Gloucestershire at Bristol. The visitors had at one stage been 177 without loss, chasing 316, but their pursuit of victory was undone by Graeme van Buuren's four for 64. Anuj Dal's late 36 not out saw the visitors finish short on 296 for eight. James Sales (108) and Luke Procter (107) shone as Northamptonshire successfully chased down Middlesex's 311 with 10 overs to spare at Wantage Road to claim victory. Advertisement Kent ended a run of four straight defeats and denied Lancashire a first win of the season in James Anderson's first match as captain thanks to Grant Stewart's 130. An eighth-wicket stand of 182 from Stewart and Joey Evison helped Kent hit back from a slow start to their second innings to finish on 328 for eight. Australian off-spinner Chris Green took four for 104.

Notts lead reduced following Yorkshire draw
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Trent Bridge (day four)Nottinghamshire 487 &148-1 dec: Slater 74*, Hameed 38Yorkshire 510: Bean 224, Revis 93*; McCann 3-53, Patterson-White 3-146Nottinghamshire (12 pts) drew with Yorkshire (12 pts)Match scorecard Pocketing 12 points for a draw with Yorkshire was enough to keep Nottinghamshire top of the County Championship table with eight of 14 matches now find defending champions Surrey breathing down their necks, though, after the match at Trent Bridge ended in stalemate, the game coming to an end when the home side declared on 148-1 in their second led by 10 points going into this round but Surrey's victory over Worcestershire at New Road has closed the gap to two ahead of next week's second batch of fixtures with the Kookaburra Revis supplemented Finlay Bean's superb double-hundred for with an unbeaten 93 but with Yorkshire's first innings stretching to lunch on day four before they were bowled out for 510 on a generally benign pitch, the chances of a positive outcome were almost off-spinner Freddie McCann finished with a career-best 3-53 before Notts opener Ben Slater passed 50 for the sixth consecutive innings - four of them against Yorkshire - in making an unbeaten 74. All-rounder Liam Patterson-White, who had 3-129 from 52 overs of left-arm spin overnight, could not add to his wickets tally in Yorkshire's first innings, but the additional 10 overs in his final analysis of 3-146 put him 10th in Nottinghamshire's table of bowling since 1929, when off-spinner Sam Staples sent down 408 deliveries - also against Yorkshire - to claim fourth spot in that list, has any bowler exceeded Patterson-White's 372 bowled in a single first-class innings for the Ahmed, the 17-year-old off-spinner, bowled 50 overs for his 1-126, although it is not the first time he has hit that milestone despite this being only his 13th match. In the draw against Surrey on the same ground last year - also played with the Kookaburra ball - he broke all manner of records in taking his career-best 7-140 on his Championship debut, and was in his 51st over when he took his final little help for the seam bowlers, Nottinghamshire had hoped that a used, hybrid pitch in the prevailing dry conditions might provide significant assistance to the spinners. Yet though two thirds of the Yorkshire innings was against spin, there was never enough turn to seriously unsettle the more capable found some turn, bowling George Hill (30) and Jack White - the former via an inside edge - and having Dom Bess (26) stumped, but by then the Yorkshire innings was beginning to peter out. Yorkshire's left-armer, Dan Moriarty, bowled Haseeb Hameed, but Nottinghamshire were otherwise untroubled through the 48 overs that remained in the match - even when Yorkshire skipper Jonny Bairstow, having handed the wicketkeeping gloves to Bean for the final session, brought himself on to bowl in what turned out to be the last over of the over of what appeared to be off-spin was only his second in professional cricket, the other - also wicketless - having been against Durham in next travel to Somerset on Sunday, with second-placed Surrey meeting Durham at The Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

The conditions demanded patience of Nottinghamshire, too, as Bairstow then bedded in with Bean on a pitch that was yielding some help for the spinners, but not as much as they had hoped for. Two bursts with the second new ball before and after lunch could not unseat either and it was an hour into the middle session before another breakthrough introduction of the medium pace of Lyndon James almost yielded a dividend for Nottinghamshire as Bean chipped perilously close to short extra-cover on 152, moments before Patterson-White struck Bairstow on the front pad and had his lbw appeal James for Abbas at the Radcliffe Road end likewise almost paid off, Bean surviving a hard chance to McCann at mid-wicket, but unperturbed, he drove Patterson-White through the off-side to overtake his previous best of 173 versus Glamorgan last year as he and Revis guided Yorkshire to 320-5 at marathon innings came to an end 15 minutes before the close as Farhan turned one to have him caught at slip trying to work to leg, almost every spectator in the ground then rising to applaud as he walked back to the dressing Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay
