Not missing Abbas then...

Somerset obviously trying to get Hampshire in while the wicket is still green.

 

Or maybe eight.....

 

And Wheal strikes!

 

Quite honestly I’ll settle for that, that wicket was always likely to be carnage before lunch.


Just as well it was us batting or no doubt someone would have complained...

 

Pitch is very green to say the least! be surprised if we're still playing at tea on day 3 never mind day 4!

 

As Anthony Gibson said on commentary, the idea was to help the pace bowlers early on. Trouble is, it helps to win the toss and not have Somerset’s record of collapsing.

 

Edit: hopefully Devon Conway will put a bit of steel into our lineup later in the season!

 

This partnership is getting annoying now.

 

Bingo! Banton castled.

 

Got Banton out at the nick of time. He was going really well.

 

And now Davies has gone for 47! Barker has 6.

 

The killer Barker bowls

 

Somerset are learning his bite is worse than his bark.

 

Barker's previous CB in an innings is 6-40. He could smash that today.

 

Kyle will come to the party in the second innings I reckon.

 

Need to get Gregory soon, he tends to hang around a lot.

 

Double hundred for Conway.

 

C'mon Kyle mop up the tail.

 

Oh Daws, that one should've stuck.

 

We might get a batting point at this rate!
