Australian makes Somerset century

London. Australia opener Matt Renshaw’s superb start in county cricket continued on Saturday when he scored a hundred before lunch for Somerset against Yorkshire -- his second century in as many matches.

Renshaw’s innings of 112 was the cornerstone of Somerset’s 216, with paceman Jack Brooks taking five for 57 for the visitors on the second day of the First Division clash at Taunton.

But on a day when 20 wickets fell, Yorkshire were bundled out for 96 in reply as Lewis Gregory and Tim Groenewald took three wickets apiece before Somerset closed on six without loss in their second innings -- a lead of 126. Renshaw only joined Somerset as their overseas player after the southwest county tore up compatriot Cameron Bancroft’s contract as a result of his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal.(AFP)
