Former England bowler Ryan Sidebottom produced a devastating spell of bowling as Yorkshire retained the County Championship Division One title by skittling Middlesex for 106 at Lord’s on Wednesday.
Middlesex were 0-3 after Sidebottom bowled the first over of the match and he eventually took five for 18, including his 700th first-class wicket, while Tim Bresnan chipped in with 4-30.
Yorkshire were assured of the title after Nottinghamshire, their nearest rivals, were bowled out for 204 in their home game with Durham at Trent Bridge.
