Ronnie Irani scored 100 not out against Sussex as Essex guaranteed top spot in the South Division with a four-wicket victory at Hove.

Gloucestershire and North-amptonshire complete the make-up. Warwickshire, with an inferior net run-rate to Yorkshire, missed out in the Mid/Wales/West despite beating Worcestershire.

At Hove, Irani's century took only 61 balls after Sussex, who won the toss, reached 173 for five. Irani hit two sixes and 13 fours before striking the final boundary off the last ball with the scores tied. Kent are drawn away to Leicestershire while Surrey will play at Gloucestershire on July 24.
Rob White, with 66 off 62 balls, and captain David Sales (68no) guaranteed a semi-final berth for North-amptonshire in an eight-wicket win over Gloucester-shire at Bristol, earning a match at Notts.
