  • Warwickshire requires 14 points to win the Division One Championship.
  • Essex won the toss against Glamorgan and elected to bowl.
  • Hampshire has already been relegated from Division One.

The final round of the County Championship is underway, with Warwickshire needing 14 points to be crowned Division One champions. A draw with six bonus points would also secure the title for them.

Somerset is currently 11 points behind Warwickshire in second place, while last year's winners Nottinghamshire are 15 points adrift.

At the other end of Division One, Leicestershire and Essex are battling to avoid relegation. Leicestershire, who are appealing a 27-point deduction, must beat Warwickshire and gain bonus points for a realistic chance to stay up. Essex needs to avoid losing to Glamorgan.

Play across the grounds began at 10:30am, with good weather expected for most of the day.
