Yorkshire fought back with a roar, as Hoggard removed Marcus Trescothick and Justin Langer in the first over as Somerset was left rocking at 0 for 2 in the very first over.
 
James Hildreth struck five boundaries, two in the same over from Hoggard, in his 20 before he steered a ball to third slip and then Zander de Bruyn was trapped lbw first ball. Kieswetter led a stirring Somerset fightback and finally, on 83, he slashed at a widish ball from Ajmal Shahzad and Brophy took a fine diving catch. Somerset was dismissed for 230 and Yorkshire led by 47. Yorkshire had 13 overs to face before the close.LATEST SCORES
