Nottinghamshire maintained their push for a first County Championship title since 2010 with a nerve-jangling, three-wicket win over rock-bottom Worcestershire ahead of their crunch clash against Surrey from Monday, live on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

Notts resumed on 40-1 in chase of 136 on the final morning at New Road and plummeted to 83-6 before a combination of Liam Patterson-White (23), Lyndon James (17no) and Josh Tongue (14no) edged the visitors over the line.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tongue – set to be part of England’s Ashes<\/a> squad in Australia this winter – also took seven wickets in the match for Nottinghamshire as Worcestershire were bowled out for 182 and 160, while James bagged a second-innings five-for.<\/p>\n

The Trent Bridge side have moved top of Division One, although Surrey will regain that spot if they beat Warwickshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Notts travel to Surrey next week in the penultimate round of fixtures before concluding their campaign at home to Warwickshire from September 24 while Surrey visit Hampshire.<\/p>\n

Surrey are aiming to become the first side to win four successive County Championship titles since themselves in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

Hampshire hit with eight-point penalty, sign India’s Washington<\/h2>\n

Also in Division One, Hampshire have been deducted eight points for producing a “below average pitch” during their game against Sussex in May, dropping the team from fifth to eighth in the table.<\/p>\n

Hampshire lost that match against Sussex by nine wickets, on a surface reported for the unevenness of bounce and excessive turn.<\/p>\n

The independent cricket discipline panel (CDP) said the home side had not intended to gain an unfair advantage but believed they had not taken all reasonable steps to produce a pitch of appropriate standard, an allegation Hampshire denied.<\/p>\n
