Gale probably would still make the side - with Root and Bairstow basically forbidden from playing for us by the disgraceful Strauss and Lehmann back in Oz, we be more or less out of options.

Root needs looking after, he's England's best player and England comes first. Bairstow...yes common sense should of prevailed and cancelled his planned rest time to play in a game he really wanted to play in.He don't need a rest.

ECB gave Yorkshire 700 grand which put them in the black for the first time in many years

I suspect the bigwigs at Yorkshire didn't feel able to complain too much about the situation

[cricketbadger]

700grand for producing half the countries team, isnt a bad price

Well... on the positive side if your a white rose supporter Tim Bresnan, my player of the year for Yorkshire

he's doing it again today digging them out of the mire.

He has been superb this year. Underrated cricketer if ever there was one.

No contest, without his allround contributions they wouldn't be in with a sniff going into the last round.

Somerset's title unless Yorkshire can somehow muster 350.

Umm.unless ive got my sums wrong it's Middlesex's title if we beat Yorkshire regardless of Somerset's match.

The title could be going back to the 'right' side of London.

Bit embarrassing if that's wrong thou.

You're right. My gut instinct tells me, even against this depleted Yorkshire side, Middlesex could have done with 100 or so more. Draw still most likely outcome at this moment in time.

Assuming Somerset win, a draw does neither team any favours. Even if Yorkshire miss 350, they would still benefit financially from finishing ahead of Middlesex with a win so I imagine they will try to chase anything

[Chalkie]

It's also getting interesting at the bottom of Div 1 - will Hants beat Durham and pull off another Houdini trick like last season?

[Felix Tito]

Nice bit of rain at Lords...keep raining for another day and a half and Somerset will bag and the championship!

Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire!


Brendan's ton has got us passed 350 and full bonus points! Now for the win boys.

[Mpt7]

we will see a result between the yorkies and middlesex. no benefit to either side in playing for the draw

Somersets odds will be lengthening hour by hour

[Wills]

Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire!


Brendan's ton has got us passed 350 and full bonus points! Now for the win boys.

Not full bonus points but I'll let your Sidebottom-induced euphoria slide on this occasion.
