8 Runs for another point :fingerscrossed:

How many times have our no. 10 and 11 got us out of the brown stuff this season? If they spin us to victory then they'll surely be given Somerset knighthoods and keys to Taunton.

We could have easily got 400 without that monumental collapse but I'd have happily taken those points yesterday morning.

Somerset getting a win means a draw at Lords even with max bonus points would give them the title.

However Somerset need to start taking wickets.. 

Unless Yorkshire get 350 plus and win don't think Somerset even need max bowling points do they? Agreed though, they need to get on with it. Will be a bit ironic if Somerset beat Yorkshire at Headingley and then fail to beat Notts.

Middlesex were actually trying to deny Yorks the batting point. Bizzare when Middlesex may have to win whatever. May mean less likelihood of a contrived finish there.

Need couple of early wickets after lunch

Depending on how things go in the next day would fully expect a contrived finished at Lords. First thing is for Yorkshire to get to 350 (or less if Somerset don't get the 3 bowling points).

If Yorks have nothing to play for what's in it for them? 2nd place finish maybe financially 

Oh, agree. Assuming Somerset get the 3 bowling points Yorkshire could easily declare at 350 and look to Middlesex to offer a target. Oddly, unless Middlesex can knock over Yorkshire quickly today it's probably in their best interest to let them get to 350 asap. Don't quite get what's going on at Lords so far - they seem to have forgotten about Somerset.
