I doubt you'd score that quickly with no fielding restrictions.
They have to choose between either trying to bowl Middlesex out asap, or contriving a finish. Hope they go for the former.

100 off 15 is very doable of course.

Surely they've already made that choice? If Yorkshire were going to contrive a result with Middlesex why would they add another 40 to their score once they'd got the 4th batting bonus point they needed?

Somerset could go top tonight, only a couple of wickets left.
Interesting how these games have changed over 3 days. Yorkshire weren't looking too clever at 53-4. Hampshire looked to have a great chance of avoiding relegation when they scored 411 with Durham at 186-7, not looking so good now.

Picture starts to get a bit clearer now.
For the championship, Somerset win it (for the first time) if there's a draw between Yorkshire & Middlesex. With Middlesex on 183-2 and Yorkshire still to bat, I'd have Somerset slight favourites currently.
For the second relegation spot, Lancashire at 57-5 will presumably lose. If Hampshire beat Durham, Lancashire go down; if they Hampshire lose or draw, Hampshire go down. Durham are 36-0 chasing 295, so that is too close to call.

240 (or 10 wickets) in 40 overs to win the Championship makes for a very interesting final few hours of the season.
