YORKSHIRE were bowled out for 175 during today’s Royal London Cup one-day clash with Somerset at Scarborough.
The Vikings look set for their second defeat from seven Group A matches - although their total could have been far worse had it not been for a tenth-wicket stand of 67 between Karl Carver and Matthew Fisher, who hit 35 not out and 34 respectively.
New-ball pair Josh Davey and Craig Overton picked up two wickets apiece, as did left-arm spinner Jack Leach, while Peter Trego claimed four after Yorkshire won the toss and batted.
The hosts failed to recover from 7-3 in the third over, although a fifth-wicket stand of 70 between Will Rhodes (37) and top-scorer Jack Leaning (40) raised hopes.
Unfortunately, four wickets fell in the nineties as Yorkshire slipped from 92-4 to 97-8 before the Fisher and Carver recovery.
This all happened on the day that Andrew Gale resigned from his post as Yorkshire’s limited-overs captain with immediate effect, with Alex Lees taking over until the end of the season.
