Somerset's pursuit of a first-ever County Championship title has taken a significant blow after they suffered a 185-run defeat against Yorkshire at Headingley. This loss, their third of the season and second against Yorkshire, has seen them drop to second in Division One.
Starting day four chasing 287, Somerset were 73-3 but quickly collapsed to 79-6, eventually being bowled out for 101 just before 12:00 BST. Warwickshire now hold an 11-point lead over Somerset in Division One.
Yorkshire's bowling attack was relentless, with new ball seamers Ben Coad and Ben Cliff starring. Cliff finished with career-best match figures of 11-105, including eight wickets in the first innings. Coad claimed four wickets in the second innings.
Somerset will face Surrey at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, in the final round of fixtures, which begins on Thursday.
