| Match scorecard |
Somerset's batsmen made good use of a fine day and another fine track at Taunton as they dominated against county champions Yorkshire.
A 148-run second-wicket stand between ex-home skipper Marcus Trescothick and current captain Chris Rogers was the cornerstone of the hosts' 342-4.
Both went short of a ton, Trescothick for 97 and Rogers for 91.
But James Hildreth was still there at stumps on 68, helped by Jim Allenby's 51 on a day when four wickets fell.
After play finished bang on time at 18:00 BST, with 96 overs bowled in the day, Somerset will resume in the morning needing 58 runs from 14 overs to gain maximum batting points.
