White sets the tone as Yorkshire's bowlers hit back

Seamer Jack White played a starring role, returning figures of four for 41 from 16 overs as hitherto dominant Somerset were bowled out for 274, losing their last seven wickets for just 73 runs in 28 overs.

In-form Tom Abell registered 50 and Will Smeed an unbeaten 36, but the morning session belonged to the visitors, who bowled and fielded with intensity to restrict their opponents to a first-innings lead of 112.

Yorkshire openers Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean then negotiated 4.3 overs before rain moved in, causing 62.3 overs to be lost in the day. Yorkshire will resume their second innings on 13 without loss, trailing by 99, their chances of saving the game materially enhanced by the elements.
