Alex Davies lived a little dangerously there.

Facing Timm van der Gugten, he pops a leading edge over the head of the bowler. The ball drops safely, but a hurried single is taken.

The mid-off fielder comes round, shies at the stumps, takes the bails, but the diving Davies is adjudged to have made his ground.

Lovely straight drive from Tom Clark down the ground for four. Sussex's first runs after lunch.

Slightly overpitched by Lewis Gregory and it is dismissed to the boundary by Clark.

Two runs to win. Two wickets to win. Goodness me.

Matt Taylor is on for Will Williams. One slip in for McManus.

Clipped through square leg! Four! Northants win! That's their second win of the season and their first away from home.

A dramatic victory for Northants, who keep the pressure on Durham in the top half of the table.

Gloucestershire were in the ascendancy with the wicket of Nathan Mcsweeney, adding just five runs to his overnight 41 before being prized out by Will Williams.

Williams bowled eight maiden overs in a metronomic 2-55.

Louis Kimber played a superb counter-attack with a bit of risk for a 69-ball 66 before chopping on to Graeme van Buuren.

Lewis McManus holds his nerve to see Northants over the line.

And breathe...

The afternoon session has commenced at Lord's, where Harry Came has taken a single off the first delivery after lunch from the bowling of Eathan Bosch, in his first over of the innings.

Derbyshire require a mere 82 further runs to secure victory.

Ben Sanderson ducks a bouncer to see out the over. The spotlight switches to Lewis McManus, facing left arm spinner Graeme Van Buuren.

McManus defends down the ground and tries to force one away off the back foot. No run.

Full! Driven to long off! Shy at the stumps and Joe Phillips misses! He did well to save the boundary.

Somerset's Lewis Gregory starts us off at Taunton and beats the outside edge with the first delivery after lunch.

We are underway in the afternoon session at Edgbaston and Rob Yates has struck the first two deliveries of Tom Norton for four runs apiece.

The first is a cover drive which is mis-fielded by captain Kiran Carlson, and the second is short, on the legs and pulled away to the longest boundary.

Tom Hartley will continue after bowling one over just before lunch and we are back under way in Southport.

Ben Sanderson plays outside off and gets a thick edge to deep third for two. Three to win.

Northants need six runs. Gloucester need two wickets.

Lewis McManus ducks a Williams bouncer. A leg side ball is nudged fine for one. Five to win now.

Thanks for all your comments over the past three and a bit days.

As we head into the final two sessions, we'd like something else from you - namely your choice of the Championship team of the week.

Now then... Will Williams to bowl to Ben Sanderson. Short and the Northants number 10 ducks it.

Williams appears to lose his delivery stride and aborts. Dead ball.

Full and turned to square leg for one.

Ben Sanderson is on a king pair and he's off the mark first ball with a clip to leg for one. 13 now needed by Northants to win.

Well-flighted and Lewis McManus drives to long off for one.

We're in extra time with three more overs after this before lunch to try and end this game.

One more to Sanderson and Mcmanus sweeps for four from outside off!

Brave. Seven to win.

Ben Raine pulls Keith Dudgeon for four as an extended morning session finally comes to an end.

There must have been some concerned faces in the Durham dressing room when David Bedingham was out in the early minutes of the final day's play, leaving them on 175-6.

But Ben Stokes and Kasey Aldridge used up overs - and time - in adding 70 before both departed in successive James Taylor overs.

Stokes was not happy with the stroke which brought about his downfall on 45, dragging the ball into his stumps, but Durham survive to the interval, although still 201 behind.

Some width outside off and Lewis McManus leaves Will Williams alone with keeper James Bracey standing up.

McManus is squared up and jabs a crooked bat down on the ball, sending it to extra cover. Over bowled.

We're playing on.

Callum Parkinson is down the pitch and clouts brother Matt over wide mid-on for four runs.

Wonder how often that happened in boyhood garden games.

Final over of "normal time" then we may or may not stop for lunch.

Louis Kimber makes a late decision not to play a bumper from Will Williams.

A touch leg side and Kimber glances fine for one. 14 to win.

Four fielders saving one on the off side and Lewis McManus defends.

A drive is superbly stopped by Miles Hammond, stretching with his left hand.

Maiden over from Graeme Van Buuren.
