As bowlers, we\u2019re not going to complain &#8211; I had a season on loan here and I wish the pitches had done as much then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never had a wicket with shaved ends while I was here but credit to Alfonso Thomas, Claude Henderson and the ground staff here for trying to produce wickets that are doing a bit. Some balls have gone up, some have gone down, but no one\u2019s been hit. There\u2019s enough going on without it being the other end of crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"

penultimate round of matches as the season hurtled towards the autumn trapdoor. It was difficult to know what to make of it, though title-hunting <strong>Somerset<\/strong> might repent at leisure the last half of the evening session at Headingley, which they finished on 68 for five. Jonny Bairstow\u2019s busy 79 had hauled <strong>Yorkshire<\/strong> to 212, though he was dropped twice. Much rests on the oaken shoulders of Craig Overton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">With clouds building and floodlights on, <strong>Nottinghamshire<\/strong> crawled towards a precious batting point at Hove against <strong>Sussex\u2019s<\/strong> parsimonious bowlers, something that seemed risible until a ninth-wicket stand of 74 between Brett Hutton and Tom Giles. Hutton\u2019s two-and-a-half-hour 59 was the highest score of the innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">A career-best six for 26 by Ethan Bamber helped keep <strong>Essex<\/strong> down as <strong>Warwickshire<\/strong> drove for points at Chelmsford. Essex were whistled out for 134, though that was riches from the ashes of 33 for seven, thanks largely to an unbeaten 61 from the on-loan wicketkeeper George Bell, who has jumped out of the Old Trafford frying pan to find his boots burning again. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/warwickshireccc\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warwickshire<\/a> wouldn\u2019t have it all their own way as they too collapsed, 151 for nine at stumps, a slender lead of just 17 runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Zak Crawley curated the only half-century at Canterbury to bring <strong>Kent<\/strong> in touching distance of <strong>Lancashire\u2019s<\/strong> 161.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">There was a cascade of 20 wickets at the Oval, where neither <strong>Glamorgan<\/strong> nor <strong>Surrey<\/strong> could reach the heady heights of 140. Matt Fisher limped out of the game with a groin injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Ian Holland\u2019s career-best six for 38 dismissed <strong>Hampshire<\/strong> for 214 in the Division One battle for the wooden spoon. Ben Brown\u2019s unbeaten 80 saved his side too many blushes. <strong>Leicestershire<\/strong>, who are still waiting for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/cricket\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cricket<\/a> Regulator to rule on their pitch, shuffled to 148 for seven, thanks to fifty from Hamza Shaikh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">At Chester-le-Street the runs ran freely as India\u2019s Mayank Agarwal blazed <strong>Worcestershire\u2019s<\/strong> bowlers around the ground with a dazzling 177. For once, Ben Stokes had to play second fiddle, though his thunderbolt 50 off 40 balls delighted the faithful who had come to wallow in autumn sunshine and the warmth of promotion. <strong>Durham<\/strong> were cruising to a full set of batting points before the setting sun spoiled their fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Hundreds for <strong>Derbyshire\u2019s<\/strong> Ben Aitchison and Wayne Madsen stayed <strong>Northamptonshire\u2019s<\/strong> promotion push.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\"
