    These dropped catches are getting costly.

    Catches win matches and our dropped ones have changed the momentum of the match.

    They've still only got 200 on the board.

    But Somerset have the momentum right now.

    They should be all out by now.

    So the Somerset members, who have waited 615 days to see live cricket, instead see completely playable light stopping play.

    150 partnership for the 8th wicket, that’s such a Somerset thing to do.

    And not finished yet, Hants have squandered a great chance to take control of the match, Vincey and Daws better make up for it when we bat.

    I can partly take the blame as I have Abbott, Vincey and Daws in my fantasy team...:emoticon-0120-doh:

    In addition to the four missed run-outs.

    Appalling fielding from us. We deserve to lose this match on that alone. No excuse for bad fielding.

    Lucky for Barker's performance, we'd be bang in trouble otherwise.

    Oh I'm certain we are already. Given how green that pitch is, and how many chances we've created, I reckon Somerset are miles over par. Anything over 150 is disappointing, and they're almost double that. I've almost, almost written this off.

    Finally a good piece of fielding now we need to wrap it quickly.

    We've missed Abbas badly today.

    Yep. We've essentially come into this with a D2 attack. And by that I mean lots of D2 sides have a decent opening pair of bowlers, but nothing beyond that. Whereas a D1 attack is invariably fully-formed; very little let up regardless who is bowling.

    Holland, Wheal and Dawson can all "do a job". But nothing more than that. Even with no Overton, Leach or overseas bowler, Brooks still can't get into this Somerset attack - whereas he would walk straight into our XI.

    Wicketless century for Kyle Abbott.

    Kyle has taken some tap today, has he ever has such bad figures on a greenish wicket before?
