careworn around the edges. Welcome to this final round of summer cricket \u2013 the next time we meet, the days will be drawing in, the coats zipped up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">With four rounds to go, things are hotting up. Surrey, who play Durham, are just one point ahead of Notts, who play Somerset \u2013 who are not themselves yet out of contention. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/worcestershire\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Worcestershire<\/a> look almost certain to go down, but there\u2019s a dog fight for the second relegation spot \u2013 if that\u2019s what there will be (more on this later). Yorkshire need a win against Sussex at the seaside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">In Division Two, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/leicestershire\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leicestershire<\/a> are within touching distance of promotion, and get a free hit this round (Kent). Glamorgan, visiting Old Trafford, are best placed for the second spot, although the big beasts breathe fast upon their necks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Play starts at 11am, and though the vagaries of public transport mean I won\u2019t quite be in my seat at Scarborough, please join us!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Durham v Surrey, Yorkshire v Sussex, and more: county cricket day one \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2025\/jul\/29\/durham-v-surrey-yorkshire-v-sussex-and-more-county-cricket-day-one-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-68874f368f080ba066de8f18#block-68874f368f080ba066de8f18\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Updated at\u00a005.40 EDT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Key events Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature A wise and measured&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-29670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
