Yorkshire are determined to seal County Championship promotion in style.

Not content with clinching an immediate exit from division two in second place, they have leaders Derbyshire in their sights ahead of their final two matches, starting with Glamorgan at Headingley tomorrow.

Last week's win over Gloucestershire at Scarborough has put them four points clear of closest rivals Kent in the promotion race and 19 points behind Derby, who have led the way for the majority of the rain-hit campaign.

As more and more days were washed out - Yorkshire have had 13 this summer - their chances of promotion seemed to be slipping away.

But Anthony McGrath rolled back the years with a memorable 76 not out to chase down 314 with only two wickets in hand and 16 balls to spare during an enthralling fourth day on Friday following a contrivance between the two captains.

The White Rose county's fate is now in their own hands with fixtures against Glamorgan at home and Essex at Chelmsford to come.

And with Derby facing Kent and Hampshire in their last two matches, the title race is wide open.

"Even though it's been such a disastrous season weather wise, it's looking like we'll have a really exciting end to the season with the Champions League to look forward to as well," said McGrath, who has enjoyed a profitable summer batting down the order at number six and seven.

"Our main aim is to make sure we go up, whatever the position. But if we can do it as champions, that would make it all the more sweeter.

"We're 19 off Derby at the top, and they've got two really tough games to play. If the weather's nice and we get eight full days, you can't rule us out of catching them. We wanted it to be in our hands going into these last two games. That's what we've got."

McGrath has played 12 of the 14 Championship matches this season, dropping down the order from number three after a golden duck in the opening match against Kent.

In total, he has scored 523 run from 14 innings at a notable average of 47.54.

He has scored hundreds against Hampshire and Derbyshire at Headingley, a 90 against Leicestershire at Scarborough and Friday's unbeaten 76.

"That knock was probably more enjoyable than either of my hundreds this year because of the situation in the game. To do it at Scarborough as well, which is one of my favourite grounds, it was a really good feeling," he added.

"It's a different role for me, but I've enjoyed it. I started in the team way back whenever batting at number five, so I've got a bit of experience doing that kind of job."

McGrath is due to sit down with the Yorkshire hierarchy at the end of the season to discuss the possibility of extending his contract.

While Yorkshire are the only unbeaten team in the country, Glamorgan have lost five of their 14 matches and sit second from bottom.
