Warwickshire are 11 points clear at the top of Division One and can secure the County Championship title with a win in their final match against Leicestershire.

  • Warwickshire leads Division One by 11 points.
  • A victory against Leicestershire will secure the championship for Warwickshire.
  • Hampshire will play in Division Two for the first time since 2014 after a defeat.

Warwickshire are on the cusp of securing the County Championship title, needing just one more victory to claim the Division One pennant. The team currently holds an 11-point lead at the top of the table after a strong run of four wins from their last five matches.

Their final challenge comes at home against Leicestershire. Warwickshire's recent form includes a crucial win against Essex, where Ethan Bamber took six wickets and Sam Hain's 88 not out helped secure a vital lead.

Elsewhere in the division, Hampshire will be relegated to Division Two for the first time since 2014 following their defeat to Leicestershire. Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire suffered a significant loss to Sussex, and Somerset's title chances are now out of their hands after a defeat to Yorkshire.
