County Championship cricket day four delivered high drama as Yorkshire faced Somerset at Headingley and Sussex took on Nottinghamshire. The day was tense, cold in the shade but hot on the pitch, with Somerset wobbling but holding on to their Championship dream.
Yorkshire vs Somerset: A Tense Battle at Headingley
At Headingley, the overnight partnership of George Hill and Dom Bess frustrated Somerset for more than a session. Their seventh-wicket stand of 166 was a masterclass in patience and swagger. Hill finally fell for a season's best 89, top-edging a pull to Craig Overton, who chased him to the rope to congratulate him. Bess, the former Somerset player, followed for 77, providing material for Tom Abell's best man speech at Bess's wedding next month.

Somerset's Chase: A Catastrophic Start

A couple more wickets fell quickly, and the fielders reminded everyone that the title has never gone to Taunton. However, Tom Abell and Tom Lammonby steadied the ship, seeing things through to the close. Tomorrow's magic cider number is 214.
