ÂDavid Hopps at Yorkshire 95-6 v SomersetThere is a bit of pace and bounce in this Taunton pitch, even though it was used for the Hampshire game two weeks ago, and Jamie Overton is making Yorkshire hop around a bit in a productive post-lunch spell. Jack Leach has two as well and four wickets have tumbled for 13 runs in six overs. Overton has two of them - Peter Handscomb, habitually playing back was trapped in line and Jack Leaning was done for pace and spliced a pull to backward square. It will not be overlong before Tom Kohler-Cadmore challenges Leaning for a spot at No 5. Jack Leach, who seems to be getting himself together again after his action issues in the winter,  also has two victims. Gary Ballance was bowled and then Matthew Waite, markedly high at No 6 despite his promise, was drawn forward and edged one that turned a tad to slip where Marcus Trescothic took a gentle catch. - Live Update

Angus Mitchell - He did get a ton against Lancs two matches ago but yes its been a struggle for awhile, think Tom Kohler-cadmore will be competition for his place. Yorkshire don't have the experience in the squad of other Counties like Middlesex who can leave out a Test player or Hants who can leave out a player who played for the Lions this last winter, or Essex who have Chropa on the bench

Yorkshire in 2014 and 2015 didn't get full batting points very much because getting 400 in 110 overs would lead to losing wickets so they would bat more slowly and get a bigger total. Its not that relevant to the debate but I wanted to remember the days Yorkshire could bat

True, but at least they have to get runs pretty quickly, not gonna be doing that in the second innings, cause there's no bonus points to get, if it's likely to be a draw from the first innings, the match is gone, at least bonus points give something to work towards
