Good morning...
From Headingley, where it’s dry and overcast at present ahead of the last home dance of 2026.
The final home day of action for the summer is perfectly poised, and – as things stand – we’re all set to get away on time at 10.30am.
Somerset are 73-3 chasing 287, and they have to avoid defeat to maintain realistic hopes of a title challenge.
If they lose this, they would go into next week’s final round – against Surrey at Taunton – 11 points behind Warwickshire at the top. The Bears host Leicestershire at Edgbaston. A draw would leave the gap at three points, and an away win today would give them a five-point advantage.
Yorkshire are chasing win number five this summer.
Yesterday saw George Hill 89, Dom Bess 77 and Ben Coad two wickets all impress.
