Preview:

Yorkshire will take on Somerset in the Division 1 fixture of the County Championship 2021. Yorkshire drew with Hampshire in the previous game. They took the 1st innings lead, but missed out on the opportunity of winning the game by just one wicket. There is plenty of work that needs to be done as the competition will get tougher from now onwards.

On the other, Somerset had a terrible last game against Nottinghamshire, where they lost the match by an innings and 160 runs. Pakistani veteran Azhar Ali has been named in the squad and he brings more experience into the side, whereas Lewis Gregory misses out due to injury.
