Yorkshire v Somerset
11-14 June
CLOSE OF PLAY, DAY THREE: Yorkshire 277 & 248 Somerset 230 & 88-1 (Yorks 5pts, Somerset 4pts)

Jonathan Bairstow's superb unbeaten 82 gave Yorkshire a fighting chance of securing a first Championship win of the season against Somerset.

Yorkshire who started day three on 26-1, reached 248 at the end of their second innings largely thanks to Bairstow's fluent knock.

Somerset were left needing 296 to win and made good progress on a difficult pitch to set up a tense final day.

Marcus Trescothick hit a fine unbeaten 58 as Somerset ended on 88-1.
