That left the hosts chasing 41 in the fourth innings to seal victory, which they did for the loss of no wickets.
Elsewhere in Division One, the run-fest in the opening days of the matches meant that the four other fixtures ended in a draw.
Centuries for Emilio Gay and Alex Lees ensured Durham survived against Surrey, who had amassed a mammoth 820 in their first innings.

Nottinghamshire were unable to force victory against Somerset, who finished 238 for four in their second innings, while Hampshire batted the day out against Hampshire.
It was also a stalemate between Sussex and Warwickshire, who were 260 for four when the bails were removed.
In Division Two, Lancashire secured their first win of the season with a thumping 261-run win at Derbyshire.

Wimbledon prize money ‘peanuts' in the tennis world
British rookie Jack Pinnington Jones plans to use his 'peanuts' Wimbledon prize money to kickstart his dream of becoming a grand slam regular. The 22-year-old debutant – a close friend of British number one Jack Draper – made the most of his SW19 wild card by beating Tomas Etcheverry in his opening match before going down in straights sets to 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli in round two. Pinnington Jones pocketed £99,000 for an impressive impact at his maiden major tournament – a small sum in professional tennis but one which could prove pivotal for his fledgling career. Away from the glamour of the Championships, the world number 281 is back living with his parents and three younger sisters in the Surrey village of Cobham after opting not to complete the final year of his studies at Texas Christian University. 'I'm in it for the long haul – if I can get to grand slam main draws, that's what I want for my life,' said Pinnington Jones. 'I'm ready to stick it out and go through ups and down in my career that I know are going to come my way. 'It's a weight off my back knowing that I can fund my tennis myself without going through my parents. That's huge to me. 'I'm looking at it as an investment. It's peanuts to what tennis players can make. 'I want to be a top 100 tennis player in the world. I want to try and maximise my potential. Hopefully it will pay off in the long run.' Pinnington Jones intends to use his windfall to invest in a personal trainer, book his coach and a travelling physio for certain weeks of the tennis calendar and, potentially, move into his own home. He was guaranteed £66,000 for being in the main draw before adding an additional £33,000 thanks to Tuesday's statement straight-sets win over 2023 French Open quarter-finalist Etcheverry. Thursday's Court 18 meeting with world number 24 Cobolli proved a step too far, albeit Pinnington Jones squandered a set point in the second-set tie-break. He will play golf and celebrate with family and friends in the coming days before returning to action in next week's Nottingham Challenger event with the aim of securing a qualifying place for the US Open. 'I'm very proud of myself in how I've handled the whole experience,' said Pinnington Jones, who has no regrets about prematurely ending his education. 'Today it's invaluable for me to play such a good player and see the clear things in my game that I need to work on if I want any chance of getting my ranking up and actually earn my place here (without a wild card). 'Obviously I'm nowhere near where I want to be, so it's just I've shown I can do it. It's about now delivering it on the practice court day in, day out and just trying to be more consistent with my level. 'It gives me a lot of belief that one day I can be here.'

Humble Wimbledon star Jack Draper still drives seven-year-old VW Polo despite earning millions in prize money
Draper has revealed why he has shaved his legs SET OF WHEELS Humble Wimbledon star Jack Draper still drives seven-year-old VW Polo despite earning millions in prize money Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JACK DRAPER still drives the same old Polo car to training because he does not see the point of having a flashier vehicle in London, according to his pal Jack Pinnington Jones. Jones's Wimbledon dreams were fuelled as a teenager during early-morning car journeys with Draper listening to UK rap on the stereo.

Draper, 23, said: 'Yeah, I shave my legs. I mean a lot of athletes do. 'It's because of the (resistance) band work we do between our legs. 'I'm fed up of ingrown hairs and getting slapped with the bands – it sort of hurts a lot. So, I get rid of the hairs. 'When I put the bands around my leg, it pulls on your hair and it rips them off. And it's the same with the massages as well. 'I mean it's not ideal but if I'm going to be in less pain, then it's worth it.' Draper had blonde highlights done in his hair pre-tournament but will not be visiting the barbers until the event is over. The British No.1 said: 'One thing you will see with me over the years is a lot of different hairstyles. A lot of different things. 'Because I'm very experimental with that sort of stuff. Do I get bored? Yeah. 'There will be a lot of different things. My brother doesn't like it but there will be a lot.'
