    Not content with being unable to hit the ball of the square, Warner decides he'll make his team's position even worse by running out his captain.

    Abbott has 6 wickets. 3 bowling points picked up. Annoying about the weather as we would have been in a great position.

    Now to play reasonably aggressively and see how many batting points we can accumulate.

    Have you forgotten who our openers are?

    Although I guess they did have that one freakish stand vs Warks.

    And that was when they went out and threw the bat a bit.

    I'd also be interested to know why we played Crane. We clearly knew we'd be bowling first, and we must be aware of the awful forecast. So playing Holland or Berg, or even Donald, would have made more sense; strengthen the batting, without limiting our most likely bowling options.

    Just seems an utter waste of a spot, giving it to Crane for this match.

    To be fair, we could have Chris Gayle and De Kock opening the batting and we'd still struggle to get any batting points if the forecast is accurate.

    Today was pretty much perfect. We can't do anything about the weather.

    Notts could rue not picking up any bonus points today.

    Abbott confirms it was exactly why we bowled.

    No batting points for Somerset - excellent! If they don't win they can't gain anything on Hampshire.
