Somerset have won the toss and will bowl first in Taunton against a Yorkshire side that includes Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow.<\/p>\n

The hosts are second in the table, just one point behind leaders Warwickshire, but with the Bears not in action this week, Lewis Gregory’s side will be eyeing top spot.<\/p>\n

Somerset give a debut to Thomas Rew, brother of James Rew, who will hope to make a similar impact on the county game as his older sibling has done, but they are without the injured Tom Kohler Cadmore, Lewis Goldsworthy and Tom Banton.<\/p>\n

Yorkshire are hoping to continue improving after a slow start to the season which has left them second bottom after three games in which they have lost once and drawn twice.<\/p>\n

It will be a tough ask to win away at Somerset but they will take heart from a strong showing last week against Sussex when Fin Bean and Sam Whiteman scored centuries and Root fell for 96.<\/p>\n

Whiteman misses this game with what the club call “a testicular issue” having been hit there last week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
