Bess frustrates old teammates to jolt Somerset’s title ambitions: County Championship cricket, day three – as it happened

Somerset managed to keep their County Championship aspirations alive despite facing significant pressure during a tense third day against Yorkshire at Headingley. Off-spinner Dom Bess troubled his former side, dealing a blow to their championship momentum before play resumed at the venue following interruptions.

Elsewhere across the circuit, action commenced at Grace Road, where ongoing film production for a Sourav Ganguly biopic had previously been mistakenly identified as a project about Virender Sehwag following earlier shoots across Lord's, Scarborough, and Headingley. Meanwhile, weather or other stoppages continued to hold up play at Canterbury, The Oval, and Hove.
