YORKSHIRE had early success with the ball during the opening morning against Somerset at Emerald Headingley, but the visitors have hit back since.

Somerset, invited to bat, slipped to 5-2 inside eight overs before reaching lunch at 105-2 from 30.

Somerset opted to toss, lost it and were inserted.

Openers Ed Byrom and Marcus Trescothick both fell early - Byrom caught behind fending at a Jack Brooks short ball and Trescothick driving loosely to second slip off David Willey.

However, third-wicket pair James Hildreth and Pakistan overseas batsman Azhar Ali have ensured no further loss through to lunch, sharing 100.

They have 55 and 41 respectively.

Hildreth led the way in a counter-attacking partnership and reached 50 off 56 balls, while Azhar will hope to follow him there in the early stages of the afternoon.

Yorkshire have made two changes to their team.

Andrew Hodd has come back in behind the stumps for injured Jonny Tattersall (back spasm), while Josh Shaw has come in for Josh Poysden.
