I spoke to Ali this morning, and he put Lancs firmly in the box seat with Warwickshire battling a flat pitch as well as unexpectedly fierce Somerset resolve. It’s free admission at Edgbaston, get there if you can.
The final talk.

There is one more day of the title race to run and, provided nerves have settled sufficiently, it may be that a good few Lancashire supporters make the trip down the M6 from Aigburth to Edgbaston, take advantage of free entry and lend their voices to the Somerset faithful.
Warwickshire can still snatch the title but will need a near-perfect performance to do so. The Bears will resume on 179 for 1, leading by 157 runs, and must continue the aggression displayed by Rob Yates, Dom Sibley and Will Rhodes on the third evening if their bowlers are to have a sniff of claiming 10 wickets.
