The County Championship returns on Monday after a month with no games in August - but who is still in the title race?
T20 Blast winners Hampshire were chasing a domestic treble untilA double, though, is still on and second-placed Hampshire have in fact won one more Championship match than Surrey this summer, including all three they played in July.A ninth victory would take them to the top of the table as they chase what would be only their third title, and first for 49 years - and in Kyle Abbott and Keith Barker , they have two of the leading wicket-takers in the division.

But they have a game in hand on the other teams in the lower half of the table and do not have to play anyone higher than Northamptonshire, currently fifth, in their four remaining fixtures.
