Chants of “You Bears” rung around Edgbaston as Warwickshire produced a stirring final-day performance to be crowned County Champions for the eighth time, beating a weary Somerset side and breaking the hearts of Lancashire in the process.
A crowd of nearly 2,000 witnessed a ruthless display from a bowling attack spearheaded by the local hero Chris Woakes but with no weak link to speak of. Somerset, their season having long since disintegrated, simply had no answers, the visitors blitzed for 154 in 52 overs after being set 273 to win in 79.
