Hogg’s instant impact

COUNTY CRICKET:

GREENFIELD’S Kyle Hogg continued to make a positive impression on his first LV County Championship appearance of the season for Lancashire.

But it was a frustrating second day for the game against Somerset at Old Trafford.

Hogg, who had dismissed Arul Suppiah late on Tuesday, added the wickets of Nick Compton and Marcus Trescothick as Somerset reached 155 for four in reply to Lancashire’s first–innings total of 292.

Trescothick was looking dangerous after reaching 56 and sharing a third–wicket stand of 101 with Zander de Bruyn, who was out lbw to Lancashire’s young left–arm spinner Simon Kerrigan late in the day.

The home side’s bowling options were reduced with Sajid Mahmood unable to take the field after suffering a calf strain in hitting a half-century.
