A small part of me was beginning to hope...until those two Patel overs.
 
No points deduction for Somerset. "Below average" grading - it needed a "poor" grading for a deduction.
 
Half way there; 44 overs gone, 44 overs left.

If we were only three down, I'd be happy. But four down, when we're playing the extra bowler, does surely mean this two still needing to be there at tea.
 
If you'd offered me four down at tea, at the start of the match, I'd have snapped your hand off - let alone if you'd offered it to me after the finger went up against Bailey.

Still a huge amount of work to do, but we can see safety on the horizon for the first time.

We might also get a lose an over from the target, as Warks are on over behind - despite all this spin. The last hour is sixteen overs, plus whatever else you might have time to sneak in before the hour is up. Not sixteen overs plus whatever else you have not yet bowled.
