After seeing his side end the day still needing one run to avoid the follow-on with the last pair at the wicket, Somerset coach Kevin Shine said: "It will be a very exciting first over tomorrow. Once we have got the run then it will be game on, and it could be very interesting."

With both sides in the pack chasing Yorkshire the coach suggested that "it's likely that we would declare because we're interested in getting a result from the game - we want to stay in the hunt."

Regarding Steffan Jones' five-wicket haul he said: "It was an excellent sustained bowling performance from Steffan. He kept it going, and bore the brunt of the bowling when "Johnno" was called to Trent Bridge. He has now got 45 wickets for the season which is brilliant."

When I asked him about the team for the home game against Leicestershire which begins at Taunton on Tuesday he replied: "The England boys may well be back. The Test looks like finishing early, and then they will be without a match for ten days, apart from the semi-final. Andy Caddick bowled himself back into form in the Glamorgan game so it will be interesting to see what Duncan Fletcher decides."

He went on: "obviously it will be a disappointment for the two who get dropped to make way for Andy and Marcus, but they are world class players and we would love to welcome them back for the crucial Leicestershire game."
