Watch highlights of day three
Warwickshire took partial revenge for their defeat by Durham in last Saturday's Royal London One-Day Cup final with a crushing LV= County Championship win inside three days at Edgbaston.
Having secured second place behind Division One champions Yorkshire on Wednesday, Warwickshire sealed victory over Durham by an innings and 13 runs to wrap up their eighth win of the season before tea on the third day.
Keith Barker again enjoyed himself versus the county he has taken most wickets against, following up his first-innings 5-59 with three more scalps.
New Zealand off-spinner Jeetan Patel also found plenty of encouragement in a dry end-of-season pitch and took the key wicket of Mark Stoneman, who launched Durham's second-innings with a flurry of boundaries.
Durham trailed by 228 on first innings - after Warwickshire were all out for 429 this morning - and Stoneman gave them hope of clearing the deficit with a confident 45 during which he passed 1,000 championship runs for the season.
That's it the Bears complete a tremendous season with a win by an innings and 13 runs. Thanks for following us and see you all in 2015

But the left-handed opener then edged Patel low to Varun Chopra at slip and the innings unravelled after Michael Richardson was run out after lunch.
Gordon Muchall drove Patel firmly to mid-on and Richardson was unable to regain his ground at the non-striker's end before William Porterfield's direct hit shattered the stumps.
Barker claimed his first wicket when Rikki Clarke plucked out a breathtaking catch diving high to his right at second slip to dismiss Paul Collingwood.
Gareth Breese did not last long in his final innings for Durham as he feathered Barker to wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose. The former West Indies off-spinner was warmly applauded from the field by Warwickshire players.
Muchall reached an entertaining 52-ball half-century but then chased a widish half volley from Barker and edged to Tim Ambrose to depart for 52.
Nice round of applause for Gareth Breese as he leaves the field after the last innings of an excellent first class career @DurhamCricket

Muchall's wicket gave Barker his 50th championship wicket of the season and 51 in first-class cricket, the second time in his career that he has reached the landmark.
Ryan Pringle, who made a maiden half-century in the first innings, again resisted with support from Mark Wood who drove Patel for successive fours to take Durham past 200.
But after Wood lost his off stump, Chris Rushworth soon followed and Pringle was the last man out to give Warwickshire the win.
Earlier in the day the Bears' last two wickets added 16 but Patel missed out on his fourth score of 50 or more this season.
Oliver Hannon-Dalby edged to wicketkeeper Richardson, which gave Rushworth his 21st wicket in three innings and Collingwood then held a sharp chance at slip when Patel slashed at Indian seamer Varun Aaron.
Not the best end to the season,but everyone at @DurhamCricket can be and should be proud of another trophy in the cabinet...

Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown was delighted with the victory and their runners-up spot, and said: "Finishing second in the County Championship is great, it's the next best thing to winning it, I guess.
"But it's credit to the way the guys went about their jobs over the first two days of this game. We knew it was a really important game and we had some important cricket to play and they have produced some really good stuff.
"If somebody had said at the start of this year that we would finish second in the County Championship - away from the two other one-day competitions - I think we would have been quite happy."
Durham captain Collingwood admitted he was pleased with his side's end to a tough season, saying: "The guys were very motivated to get as far up the table as we possibly could, we have been on a good run as well.
"In many ways you don't want the season to end. But this season has pushed us probably physically more than any other season with the number we have in the squad and the amount of injuries we have had with the bowlers.
"Emotionally it has been quite a big week for us [after winning the Royal London Cup] so I'm not surprised we have not been on top of our game but certainly we wanted to win here."
