    Sussex vs Glamorgan

    SamNortheast and Kiran Carlson helped Glamorgan survive the scare before completing a five-wicket in over Sussex on the final day. 

    Sussex resumed their play as they were trailing by a small margin of 29 on Day 3 and managed to put up only a total of 258 onboard owing to a fantastic 83 from Oliver Carter and 57 from Delray Rawlins. This left Glamorgan with a target of 141 for the win.

    In response to the target that looked easy to achieve, Glamorgan made a disastrous start to the play, losing their three top-order batters for mere nine runs. Sam Northeast and Kiran Carlson anchored the ship and ensured that their side didn't lose the easy chase. Kiran Carlson scored 45 off 66, whereas Sam Northeast added an unbeaten 45 alongside an unbeaten 15 from Chris Cooke in the end to seal the five-wicket win. 

    Durham vs Worcestershire

    The clash between Durham and Worcestershire ended up in a draw on the final day of the County Championship as the match saw 1294 runs being scored but only 17 wickets falling over four days at Seat Unique Riverside. 

    Continuing the final day from 431/6 and a trail of 211 runs to be covered, Worcestershire got eventually dismissed on 550 as Paul Coughlin paved the inroads by getting a breakthrough. Gareth Roderick (unbeaten 45) and Dillon Pennington's (44) built a 69-run stand to save visitors from the follow-on. But it left the hosts with a lead of 92 to resume their play in the second innings.

    In their second essay, Durham raced to 102/0 before the teams shook hands. The hosts claimed 14 points from the campaign while Worcestershire gained 13 points to be placed one position above Durham in the points table.
