Looks like he's limping now, sub another seamer on!

Two balls after the resumption for Ogborne. Warned again for running on the pitch.

In his post-day interview last night, Beau confirmed this is the last county championship match of his current stint.

Two balls from Ogborne and he's getting a talking to from the umpire for running on the pitch. Laughable.

Craig Overton one of the most dislikable characters on the circuit. Not happening on the pitch so he's chirping Mousley.

Yeah, I'm not having that. Bowling a high intensity six over spell last night and he's subbed out now? Right arm bowler for left arm to create footholes?

The first instance of the sub rule in one of our games and it already feels vastly unfair.

With this signing looking to have been relatively successful and not knowing his availability going forward, the thought has occurred whether we may try and extend into the One Day Cup a la Krunal Pandya a few years back? We already look very strong in that comp with Hain not picked up in The Hundred.

Terrific day. Really important first session tomorrow to not allow them back into the game.

The signing of Suthar suggests we're expecting some turn surely cause I'm not sure the punt is exactly worth the exclusion of Booth if we're playing on a green top?

Barnard obviously gives overs but feels like that side misses an out and out new ball option if it's to be Gilchrist.

Slightly concerned by the look of how our bowling attack will assemble for this one. From the squad released there's no spare batter so I expect Davies will stay at the top.

Davies Yates Mousley Hain Webster Barnard Malik Suthar Thompson Bamber Gilchrist will probably be the side.

Great time to play Somerset who are in the midst of an injury crisis and will now be without James Rew this week.

Cracking fightback and result. One thing this team is never short of is fight.

Yorkshire have a propensity to find ways to lose games. Gives me a touch of hope.

Think we've bowled decently enough in this second innings, but we just can't seem to get that bang bang that gets everyone up and creates a bit of drama. Still seems to be enough in the surface.

Two pathetic and unnecessary dismissals in quick succession from our two best bats. Lovely.

classic Dan Mousley dismissal.

Ben McKinney out of contract and so is Zak Crawley. Two I can see us being interested in but not sure either would be the solution, particularly with Crawley's ongoing break from the first class game. Perhaps an overseas opener for next year a la Latham. We seem to have a number of middle order options (Shaikh, Malik, Jani, even at a push Dandy, Wylie, Nahal, Gekis) but not many openers. It's clearly something that needs to be addressed pretty urgently.

We're in dire need of an opening bat to allow Smith or even Davies to bat 6 or 7. He just simply cannot keep opening.

We're now in the "transfer window". Anyone to mind?

For what it’s worth, I feel pretty sorry for Taz Ali who bowled immensely in that first game at Glos and has been asked to do a relatively thankless and almost experimental job thereafter.

Bowled three balls with no one behind square today, all of which went to the boundary and two from false shots. Extremely talented and full of potential, but not being given the surroundings to demonstrate his ability enough for me.

Fine margins and momentum it feels like currently. Finding ways to lose games.

Our last over goes for four with three wickets off the last three balls. Find the way we approach the middle overs tedious, lots of swinging and missing at Scrimshaw who was executing a simple short at the big boundary plan.

Barnard looks a little off the pace as a T20 captain. The loss of Briggs, Lintott, and Hassan Ali as three incredibly experienced T20 players and bloody good bowlers has hurt immeasurably it seems. Desperate for Gleeson to come back in to at least offer some threat first up.
