Durham clinch County Championship title

Durham secure an eight-wicket victory over Nottinghamshire to seal the County Championship title.

Durham have secured the County Championship title with an eight-wicket victory over Nottinghamshire.

Play was halted at Chester-le-Street until 1.30pm due to rain, with the home side on 7-0, needing 62 runs to win the match and end their campaign as champions.

Despite Harry Gurney clinching two wickets, Nottinghamshire could not do enough to stop Durham, who sealed the win through Mark Stoneman's boundary in the 17th over.

Durham's title is their third in six years, and today's win is the club's fifth in a row and 10th of the season.
