England discard Andy Caddick showed he is still one of the most hostile bowlers in the country as Yorkshire crumbled to 148 all out and were forced to follow on a massive 320 runs in arrears of Somerset at Taunton yesterday.

Caddick, who took four of the first five wickets, then delivered another bombshell by sending back Michael Vaughan as Yorkshire ended on 16 for one, still 304 runs away from avoiding an innings defeat.

It was a bitterly disappointing performance by Yorkshire after Somerset had stretched out their first innings to 468 for nine before declaring at lunch.

Caddick, who was not wanted on any of the overseas tours by England last winter despite claiming 105 first class wickets last year, began the Yorkshire slide by picking up three wickets for one run in 30 balls during his opening spell.

Then, after Caddick had returned to make another breakthrough, the last five wickets were swept up by Steffan Jones and Keith Parsons for seven runs in the space of 31 deliveries.

All the later order batsmen made runs for Somerset in the morning against bowling which lacked variety and this was reflected in the final figures all having a similar look about them.

But whereas Yorkshire could not manage sustained accuracy, Carrick found the right spot and was a constant menace once he had broken a smooth opening stand of 35 between Vaughan and Greg Blewett by trapping Vaughan lbw.

David Byas was caught at slip off Caddick without scoring but young Welshman Steffan Jones dealt Yorkshire one of their most severe blows by coming on and removing Blewett's off-stump for 27 just as the Australian was beginning to look dangerous.

Anthony McGrath also registered a duck, playing Caddick into his stumps, and it was only stern resistance for a while from Matthew Wood, Craig White and Richard Blakey which saved Yorkshire from even greater destruction.

The return of Caddick saw White bowled off-stump offering no shot and Wood and Blakey's 43 stand was broken when Wood touched a delivery from Parsons into Rob Turner's gloves. Wood had begun smoothly but got tied down by Caddick and at one stage went an hour without adding to his score.

The rapid procession continued and when Yorkshire were all out in 63.2 overs they found themselves going in again with six overs remaining.

Caddick inflicted further pain in his third over.

Vaughan could not avoid edging a rising delivery and was a victim of the former England man for the second time in two sessions of play.
