That day cut short by rain. There's a little bit of stickability come into it. Brook, Kohler-Cadmore, Bresnan & Rashid have all faced 50 or more deliveries. Kohler-Cadmore ended up with 31 from 92 balls. But, we were already 6 down when we passed the somewhat meagre follow on at 119. I've gone to bed not sure what state Sidebottom is in. Maybe he'll strap the pads on if there is a Bonus Point hanging. But, even that looks some way in the distance from 159.

You've just got to do it in bits. Plunkett & Rashid need to get a few more. The tail then take their chances. Today just looked like a horrible day for batting. But, the forecast has it overcast. So, no one is going to have it easy. Somerset might find it difficult to get to a declaration. Craig Overton has bowled over one third of the overs. Taken 5-78.

I'll speak as I find. I've been in The Stumble Inn twice so far on this trip. And, been short changed on each visit. Change from a fiver, but had handed a tenner over. Handed a fiver over for a pint, only got silver back in my hand. Smiled, with my palms open both times. Gentle whisper “gave you a tenner” “only eighty pence there”. Sorry. Rectified. Different bar person each time. Very chatty. But. Not a good look.
