49 Lone-hand Brez
Yorkshire beat Durham comfortably enough, to keep up their title challenge, but here - against Somerset at Headingley - Tim found himself fighting a lone battle, 38* in a first innings total of 145.
Yorkshire never recovered, Jack Leach took 6 for 64 in the second innings, and our lads went into the final game at Lord's needing to win.
Bresnan's 142* gave Yorkshire a chance, but the breakthrough was not made. Declaration-bowling was employed, but the run-chase was too stiff, and Middlesex took the title, ahead of a rightly disgruntled Somerset. Yorkshire were third.
Brezzy in the 2016 Championship had played 11 matches, scoring 722 runs at 48.13 and 31 wickets at 30.12 apiece.
