Match scorecard

Worcestershire have been promoted back to Division One of the County Championship - for a record seventh time.

Aided by skipper Brett D'Oliveira completing his century, Alan Richardson's side passed 300 against Yorkshire at Headingley to pick up the second batting bonus point they needed to edge out third-placed Leicestershire.

Alongside already crowned Division Two champions Durham, the Pears will be back playing top flight cricket again next season for the first time since being relegated for a sixth time - also a record - in 2018.
