"Notts need 11 points from their final match, at home to Warwickshire, to ensure they cannot be caught by Surrey. A win, worth 16 points, would be more than enough, but eight points for a draw, coupled with three of the available eight bonus points accrued via either bat, ball or some combination of the two, would also do the job for Peter Moores' men."
"Nottinghamshire's dramatic 20-run win at Surrey on the final afternoon of the penultimate round of fixtures put them in the driving seat for silverware and severely dented Surrey's quest for a fourth-straight title. There was a slight boost for the defending champions after the game finished, however, as Notts were deducted a point for a slow over rate at The Kia Oval, which cut their lead at the summit from 15 points to 14 going into this week's final round."
After 172 days and 117 matches the 2025 County Championship reaches its final round with the title and relegation unsettled. Nottinghamshire's late 20-run win at Surrey put them atop Division One, but a one-point over-rate deduction cut their lead to 14. Notts require 11 points from their final match at home to Warwickshire to be uncatchable by Surrey; a win yields 16 points, a draw yields eight plus up to three bonus points from the first innings. Five counties battle to avoid joining Worcestershire in the bottom two amid impending post-season restructure. Division Two champions Leicestershire and runners-up Glamorgan have secured promotion places; Kent remains bottom.
