I hope they're having a nice lunch too. One fit for champions.

Edit: Who's up for a spot of gardening at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday night? I need a bit of help with half a ton of concrete (to make the wicket perfectly flat for them, of course)

It's looking increasingly likely that Sussex and Lancashire will go into the final game eight points apart. What it will mean is that Sussex then require 14 points to guarantee the title. In other words, a victory, assuming Lancashire win. If the teams finish on level points, Sussex are champions.

Anyone else nervous?

356/7 now.

Will they reach 400?
Don't be silly. They'll reach 500 in the next couple of hours, declare, then bowl out Durham for 16 in half an hour. Lancs are the champions elect.

Durham 372 v Lancashire 482-8 dec
Match scorecard

Cork cut loose in his first century of the season

Dominic Cork made his highest score in six years to give Lancashire a slight chance of victory over Durham.

Cork hit a blistering 154 from 183 balls and Lancs declared on 482-8 at tea on the final day, 110 ahead, needing 10 wickets in two hours.

The home side had begun the day 210-5, simply searching for batting points, and lost Glen Chapple (40) early on.

But Cork joined Luke Sutton (36) in a stand of 105 for the seventh wicket and Tom Smith added an unbeaten 40.

With their bonus points in the bag, Lancs would close the gap on leaders Sussex to eight points with a draw but could overhaul them with victory.

Lancashire suffered an early setback when Chapple fell to a fine first-slip catch by Jimmy Maher.

An aggressive Cork soon overtook Sutton although he too was reprieved over a leg-before decision off Paul Wiseman.



Durham 2nd Innings

Total for 1 15 (6.2 ovs)
