Hampshire fought back well in difficult conditions on the opening day of the Specsavers County Championship contest at Taunton
12 wickets fell to spin on the first day as Hampshire battled back in their Specsavers' County Championship clash against Somerset as Taunton.
Nine of the 10 Hampshire wickets to fall on the opening day were at the hands of spinners Jack Leach (6-78) and Dom Bess (3-45), as the away side were dismissed for 162 batting first, before Liam Dawson (3-44) and Kyle Abbott (2-33) reduced Somerset to 157-5 at the close.
A morning that began brightly for Hampshire finished with Somerset on top.
Having won the toss, the visitors, looked in precious little trouble in reaching 34 for 0 in the 14th over, however, by the time the two sides sat down for a lunch, Hampshire had stumbled to 100-6.
Openers Michael Carberry and Dawson got the board moving inside the first hour before the latter departed and Carberry followed shortly after with the score at 34-2.
Five overs later, Leach struck again, this time, it was James Vince who perished to the slow left armer.
Rilee Rossouw and Sean Ervine followed to Leach and Bess respectively and before lunch arrived, Lewis McManus edged a viscious sharp-turning delivery to short-leg.
Having reduced Hampshire to 100 for 6 at lunch, Somerset finally bowled out the visitors for 162 off 49.1 overs.
George Bailey (49) battled well for the visitors and he looked to be nearing a deserved half-century before a delivery that pitched on leg stump and struck off bowled him.
Craig Overton then denied the opportunity for all 10 first innings wickets to fall to spin when he picked up his first wicket.
Kyle Abbott (49) once again showed real character in a resistant innings, however Leach claimed his wicket in the 50th over to see the innings brought to a close.
Somerset lost Marcus Trescothick (6) early in reply, before Tom Abell (40) and Dean Elgar (60) added 75 for the second wicket.
However, when Abell departed at 90 for 2, a min-collapse ensued.
Elgar, who became the first batsman on the day to reach 50, off 74 balls with six fours and a six fell to Dawson who bowled beautifully throughout the day.
James Hildreth (7) also departed after being trapped LBW by Abbott, whilst Peter Trego (10) was then the fifth man out at 141 in the 37th over.
Dawson continued to probe late in the evening session, and alongside Sean Ervine, the duo piled on the pressure with three consecutive maidens in the final overs, as Hampshire took some momentum heading into tomorrow's second day.
