NOTTINGHAMSHIRE captain Haseeb Hameed led from the front with a century against WARWICKSHIRE as they secured the two bonus points needed to be crowned county champions for the first time in 15 years.

Hameed (above) scored 122 at the top of the order. It set up the hosts to go past the 300 they needed to get the points to win a seventh title by moving out of reach of defending champions Surrey. Joe Clarke (52) and Kyle Verreynne maintained the momentum, with the latter smashing a six to get them over the line in style.
