Cliff takes 8-76 as Yorkshire leads against Somerset at Headingley
Summary

Ben Cliff delivered a career-best 8-76 for Yorkshire against Somerset on day two at Headingley. After Yorkshire scored 212 in their first innings, Somerset managed 201 in reply, recovering from a precarious 86-8 largely due to Craig Overton’s 64 and Migael Pretorius’s 58. At tea, Yorkshire stands at 128-6 in their second innings, with George Hill not out on 50, leading Somerset by 139 runs. The contest remains finely balanced with both sides' batting struggling on the bowler-friendly pitch.
