Revis finishes things off and its a Yorkshire win by 185 runs. Somerset will be shell-shocked after that. Ben Cliff finished with 11-105 and Yorkshire cement 5th place. That was a bit like what we did to Durham in the last game of last season. Well done lads.

Somerset were top of the table, now dropped to 2nd.

Yorkshire move back into 4th.

We have a chance of a decent side, if we can sort out the top order batting, as our starts have been nothing short of a shambles,

Once again Hill & Bess got us out of another mess!

Extras scored more than six of our batsmen combined.

Coad & Cliff bowled brilliantly throughout the whole match.

Nah they'll cruise from here. 99 needed 6 wickets left

I wasn't wrong when I said our Bowlers wouldn't deliver after the batsmen failed all season. We've not played one game this season where the batsmen and bowlers have played well at the same time

6 overs until the new ball for Hants but how much damage can Leicester do in the mean time? Either way it is going to take a monumental effort from Hampshire now. Fingers crossed.

No idea why we've not seen hide nor hair of Finn Bean while persisting with Luxton instead. Bean was great with the gloves in the one-day cup too. I honestly think Lyth is just about done I'm afraid. Contracted until the end of next summer but will be 39 next week. His drop in form has been alarming. Can't see McGrath having the balls to do anything about it though and I expect unless he decides enough is enough himself, he will be back again next year.

Whiteman has been very disappointing in the CC too. Batting needs a major overhaul.

Bennison looks a decent prospect too!

Not looking good for Hampshire now.

You have to question the team selection, no Prest or Neal on a turning wicket, our only spinner is our opening batsman!!

Have they got a Yorkshireman in charge down there in the South West? ;-)

Hill gets Yorkshire out of the :poo: with yet another half-century.

All the usual failures still exist.

Devastating spells from White & Coad this morning to skittle Notts for 85 and Yorkshire require 158 to win. I expect it will still come down to Hill or Bess to get the runs once again or can the top order actually get us to 50 first?

Yorkshire sneak home at Trent Bridge to finish the season with 3 straight wins. Johnny Bairstow was required to hand around this time and he hit the winning six on his 37th birthday to lead Yorkshire to a 1 wicket win.

Incredibly after a topsy-turvy season, Yorkshire could finish 3rd in the table.

We can't finish 3rd mate. Yorkshire have finished 5th on 180 points.

I hadn't realised the BBC had already updated the table when I initially read it.
