Points deduction puts Leicestershire on brink as Warwickshire go top: County Championship cricket, day two – as it happened

Warwickshire took the lead in the County Championship race following an eight-wicket triumph inside two days, propelled by the bowling of Manav Suthar. Meanwhile, Leicestershire faced trouble near the brink following a points penalty.

In other action, Somerset slumped to 86 for eight after a disastrous opening 25 minutes. Ben Cliff dismissed Jack Leach via a catch by Jonny Bairstow and came close to completing a hat-trick, though he ultimately fell short of taking three wickets in three balls.
