Another down. Good to break Compton and Robson.

A couple more in roads before stumps and Yorkshire are into what looks like a relatively long tail.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Robson out. Big wicket.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Middx will defend about 200 v Yorks. Tight game.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yorks chase 213. Feels too close to call.

[Alviro Patterson]

Yorkshire have done well to get the remaining six wickets in one morning session.

One thing Yorkshire have in favour of a tricky run chase is fielding seven recognised batsmen and a short tail.

[Alviro Patterson]

Fine progress from Yorkshire in the run chase, 130/3 although Middlesex have taken two relatively quick wickets to keep themselves in the game.

[Alviro Patterson]

Make that three relatively quick wickets, game on!

[Arthur Crabtree]

A fair amount of batting to come(and the Big Show), but plenty of pressure too.

[Alviro Patterson]

With a fair amount of overs remaining, Yorkshire don't want to be caught out from thinking they can win this game by stumps to being in a vulnerable position.

Just bat the days overs out and take the game into tomorrow.

[Alviro Patterson]

Getting Williamson back would be nice.

I'm thinking in the lines of Che Pujara, shame he left Yorkshire after scoring a century.

[Alviro Patterson]

Big Show wins it for Yorkshire with a six

Massive 4 wicket win against the Championship leaders

Excellent win for Yorkshire. Have a feeling Middlesex will fade away and won't be in contention for the title. My track record of predictions though probably means they will win it!

Yes seem to remember Middx started well last season then faded to relegation candidates. Warks must surely be in the mix for the championship or do they just excel against Durham? The one advantage they have is they're unlikely to be hit by England calls apart from Bell.

I think Warwickshire have a very good chance, looks like a strong side to me.

[Alviro Patterson]

Warwickshire 29pts behind Durham with a game in hand. IIRC the Bears had an outside chance of winning the title last year, but had to win the remaining 3 games whilst Yorkshire lose the remaining 2 matches.
