Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon
“Unfortunately we let periods of potential dominance slip, and you can’t afford to do that.
“First-innings bowling started really well, and the second hour released the pressure. Then we were clawing it back. We started well in both innings, but we weren’t able to maintain the pressure for long enough.
“That’s a little bit of inexperience in that respect.
“Matthew Fisher’s toe injury restricted him in the second innings.
“Batting wise, similar. We fought really hard, but we had a clatter of wickets in both innings, which costs you.
“We can see there’s fight in the team. We had a clatter of wickets today, but we still gave everything to try and save it and took it deep.”
4.40pm Brooks gone! He’s been caught at second slip off Jamie Overton. @YorkshireCCC 194 all out and lose by 224.
4.32pm Fisher gone! He’s been caught in the slips by Gregory off Jamie Overton for 19. 188-9.
We have 33 more overs remaining (minimum of),

Tea Report
Yorkshire slipped from 99-3 shortly after lunch and lost five wickets for 44 during the final afternoon to undermine their chances of securing a draw against Somerset at Emerald Headingley.
The White Rose, faced with an improbable victory target of 419 late on day three, slipped to 8-2 before recovering to 94-2 just before lunch today.
Craig and Jamie Overton equally shared four wickets, while Lewis Gregory also picked up his fourth wicket of the innings.
Kane Williamson was caught behind off Craig for 51 in the first over after lunch, undone by extra bounce.
Yorkshire slipped to 143-8 and have since reached tea at 163-8 with 37 overs remaining. Matthew Fisher has 14 and David Willey 13.
3.33pm 10 minutes to tea and Yorkshire are 159-8 as David Willey handsomely drives Jamie Overton for four wide of mid-off to take him to 9.

1.45pm The afternoon starts with a Williamson half-century, off 105 balls, clipping Craig Overton to wide long-on for four. Oh no. he’s trapped lbw two balls later. 99-4.
Lunch report
Kane Williamson and Josh Shaw batted through all but 10 minutes of the fourth morning against Somerset to revive chances of a Specsavers County Championship draw at Emerald Headingley.
Somerset were favourites to win coming into the day, with Yorkshire 8-2 in their second innings chasing 419. But they have reached lunch at 95-3 from 41 overs.
New Zealand captain Williamson and nightwatchman Shaw repelled the second-placed side’s attack, with the former twice hitting England fringe left-arm spinner Jack Leach for a straight six as the pair shared 90.
Williamson notched up 10,000 first-class career runs upon reaching 12 and has 47 at present.
Shaw was lbw to Lewis Gregory as he moved across his crease, leaving the score at 94 for three in the 38th over of the innings.
Gary Ballance is yet to get off the mark.
12.50pm Shaw lbw Gregory as he shuffles across his crease. Falls for well made 42. 94-3.
12.27pm I can see a barrage of abuse heading my way in five minutes if Shaw has his off pole ripped out, but I honestly don’t believe in any of the theory. These two have batted through the first hour and a half of play with very few issues. They have taken the score to 72-2, with Williamson 41 and Shaw 27.
12.17pm And again! Williamson hoists Leach into the sight screen for six more. YorkshireCCC 71-2.
SIX! Williamson launches Leach straight into the sight screen at the Football Stand End. 53-2. He has 25 of them.

11.46am Somerset introduce left-arm spinner Jack Leach into the attack after 12 overs this morning. Yorkshire 36-2.
11.38am Yorkshire have seen off the opening half hour of play with few problems as Kane Williamson and Josh Shaw resist. The hosts are 33-2 chasing 419. Forget that target, it’s too steep an ask. But some early encouragement as the draw is pursued.
11.08am Yorkshire 10-2 in the 12th over of their chase of 418. We’re in the third over of the morning, with Josh Shaw currently facing Josh Davey.
Good morning from Emerald Headingley, where the sun is shining once more.
Yorkshire begin day four against Somerset with a significant amount of work to do at 8-2 chasing 419.
They lost Harry Brook and Adam Lyth to new ball seamer Lewis Gregory last night, with Josh Shaw and Kane Williamson at the crease.
If Yorkshire secure a draw today, it would give them a huge boost ahead of next week’s clash with Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, the first of four remaining matches.
The players are just about to start their warm-ups.
