A 48-run winning margin for Yorkshire, who held their nerve even as Sussex's eighth-wicket pair whittled down the requirement. Credit to a young Sussex side for playing their part in a cracking contest down at Hove - what a lovely venue it is, and hopefully there'll be a crowd back in soon, filling up the deckchairs and wooden benches. For now, why not head over to Warks vs Essex at Edgbaston, and see how the home side are getting on in their run chase against the champions. Bye!

69.5

Bess to Crocombe, OUT, dragged down, flicked uppishly into the leg side - and David Willey grabs the chance above his head to seal Yorkshire's victory! Bess does get his sixth, a fine effort from him in the fourth innings

HT Crocombe c Willey b Bess 4 (12m 9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 44.44

69.4

Bess to Crocombe, FOUR, swung down the ground for four on the bounce! Crocombe gives it some tap, the requirement comes down below 50

69.3

Bess to Crocombe, no run, forward, poked into the ground in front of silly mid-off

69.2

Bess to Crocombe, no run, tossed up and defended to leg

Slip, silly mid-off, short leg and leg slip in

69.1

Bess to Hunt, 1 run, tossed up and he's forward to flick through the leg side

Just one over from Root, and Dom Bess is back looking for his sixth to finish this

"Nice Jinx mate (10th wicket fallen in Essex game)." Yep, Shah Zaib, almost over here, but there's another chase just beginning up at Edgbaston
