Leicestershire win in top tier for first time since 2003: county cricket day three – as it happened

Leicestershire, Notts, Hampshire and Derbyshire all win inside three days while Ben Stokes returns for Test duty

And Essex are in real trouble now with Dean Elgar and his limpet like qualities gone, lbw Stone for 42. Essex 65-4, trail Notts by 208. Nick Friend of The Cricketer was at Chelmsford for the first two days and tells me that Essex prepared a pitch for Harmer, only for Patterson-White to rip through them on day one. Harmer finished with a five-fer too – his first in 36 games(three years) for Essex.

Great little knock this by Ollie Robinson, now 66. His last 100 was against Notts last May. Durham 383-9.
