Somerset win by 49 runs! Still on top with 74 points! Only us and Yorkshire unbeaten! All right Surrey, but they’ve only played 2 games!
 
Those three quick wickets have set us back somewhat. I would guess we were hoping to smash, say, 70 or 80 off 10 overs - to give us a lead of about 420, and a good 20 overs of bowling this evening.

But arguably now being bowled out is just as likely as being in a position to declare. And either with a smaller lead than 420, or fewer overs than 20, or both.

Or they can throw the ball to Libby for a couple of overs, almost as if they want to us to get on with reaching a declarable target.
 
Another 6. Declaration must be very close now.

I'm a huge fan of the new WC kit by the way. So much so that I've just ordered it. Not purchased an England cricket shirt since 2006.

Very happy with that. Well done Hants. Every chance of getting a win from here now. Three wickets tonight would be great.
