Hampshire home and Yorkshire close

Hampshire completed a slightly hollow 75-run win over Glamorgan, the day after Nottinghamshire sealed the Championship. Sean Ervine was the star with the ball taking 5 for 60, his best figures of the season, after Shane Warne had set Glamorgan 320. James Bruce did the early damage with the new ball before Ervine took over the demolition job but Hampshire are now fighting it out for second place.

Yorkshire's victory charge against Derbyshire was held up by some stubborn lower order resistance from Ant Botha and Tom Lungley. The pair have added an unbeaten 133 with Botha just two shy of his first ton of the season. Steve Stubbings earlier made a typically dogged 91 while Mark Lawson, the young legspinner, impressed with three wickets. If Yorkshire can complete the win tomorrow it will seal their promotion to division one.
