Not sure if its a 500+ run pitch though Maddix
Not the best of starts, 14-1 in the 6th over. If we get to 350 before 110 overs and get them bonus points and we end up beating Middlesex, we will be Champions. So quite straightforward. Things going tits up, 32-3 Lyth is 32 not out, Lees, Balance and Gale all out for 0!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
Recovered after that bad start, 127-4 @ tea.
Notts going down without a fight v Somerset 120-8, trail by 245. Basically, Middlesex win they are the champions. Yorkshire have to get to 350 off 110 overs and then win, or they leave the door open for Somerset just as long as Middlesex don't win. I would make Somerset favourites at the moment, followed by Middlesex then us.

Yes, it probably is over now but it's been an entertaining season
 F'ucked it up last week really  all we needed was a draw against Somerset to put us in the driving seat.Our batting has been atrocious for the last few games though. Having to put Bresnan in at 5 is scraping the barrel a bit but we've done well with essentially 6 players missing in action for virtually every game. And I'm not happy with Strauss either  Finn can play for them, Stokes can play for Durham but Bairstow, with five days cricket since the middle of August, can't play for us stinks badly

Yeah cant see how we can win the game, we need 115 off 41 overs just for the bonus pts. We could then either declare and let Middlesex set us a target on the last day or just keep batting and then try and bowl them out cheaply in their 2nd innings.
Somerset looked nailed on for a win v Notts. Hopefully Somerset can get the title and not those Lords based twats. Yeah the batting has been the problem, we got 0 batting bonus pts against Somerset as I recall.

Yorkshire reach 350.
Game On!
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

390ao - lead of 120. Tea now being taken, with 36 overs to be bowled.
Outstanding from Bresnan 142 not out and from Rafiq, Hodd & Sidebottom. Over to the Bowlers now
