    In other news, Somerset's experiment with playing no batsmen seems to be working...

    Hope Weatherley goes on and punishes them for it, surely batting will be easier after lunch.

    TBF it doesn't look too tricky out there now. Good session for Hants.

    Good battling session for Hants, I really hope they don't spoil the hard work and lose cheap wickets when they restart.

    So I'll add Crawley for Stokes, to my suggested other two changes of Curran and Wood for Jimmy and Archer.

    The batting depth of having Wood or Broad down at no.11 would go a long way to making up for again playing one batsman short.

    It'll be interesting when these two start to push things along, if they don't get out first.

    I'm not suggesting that they need to do it yet. Seeing off this post lunch spell is important. But we're almost half way through our maximum innings, and essentially are only two down. I'd rather a steady increase in rate, rather than keeping a load of wickets in hand and suddenly switching to t20 mode for the final part. Not easy to go from zero to 60 in no time.

    Did the word come to push on during the sanitizer break?, 3 boundaries since then.

    Given an innings can last a maximum of 120 overs we will need to pick up the pace at some point.

    They both look like they are playing a few shots now.
