Nah, ball clips leg stump. if you freeze it at the right moment you can see it's a legitimate wicket.

 

One is for sure - that ball turned a mile. Dawson will have fun when he bowls.

 

Yeah, it is really turning. I watched that clip so many times and at first it seemed impossible it struck the wicket!

 

An alternative view is that Somerset’s seamers bowled rather well.

 

And the accurate version is a bit of both. Obviously you bowled well, but to go from 114-4 to 115-8 and 121-9 shows exactly why Lancs are flirting with relegation.

 

Here comes the Somerset collapse!

 

Excellent hundred from Gubbins.

 

No, we just like to give the bowlers a chance to get a few runs. It’s been a feature for the last few years, seems to work too.

 

H 260 - 4 Gubbins 111 no

H 373 - 4 Close Gubbins 153 not out Dawson 103 not out.

 

Well, we've done our bit. Put ourselves in a good position to get all 5 batting points.

 

Let’s hope no one has tickets for Day 3 at Old Trafford…

 

Fantastic double ton for Gubbins!

 

Not sure why Abbas decided to play at that but oh well. Now to get some wickets!

 

Organ getting absolutely mullered!

 

Lancashire awarded 5 penalty runs for a fake throw by Casey Aldridge.

Looking difficult for Somerset now, still 4 wickets to get with the lead approaching 250.

 

Luke Wells run out but survives because the umpire had already given him not out from an lbw appeal. Not sure that’s in the laws of the game but these umpires seem to have taken a dislike to Somerset for some reason. Maybe they live in Surrey…

 

Just seen it. The square leg umpire must have had **** in his eyes!

 

Looks very good for Surrey right now unless Somerset can pull off an amazing run chase.

 

I wish someone would tell Tom Lammonby that this isn’t the Vitality Blast final, and that they have the best part of 5 sessions to knock these runs off.

 

H 204 all out 394 to win (Has the site been down, couldn't log in earlier?)
