So that's with the bat and the ball that Somerset have let Surrey off the hook.

Finally Surrey are bowled out, for a lead of 4.

 

[tomw24]

Now please Somerset, don't get skittled for 150 or something.

Finally Surrey are bowled out, for a lead of 4.

Hopefully Somerset can set Surrey a decent target and batting is tricky with the ball turning more on the fourth day.

 

[tomw24]

This is farcical from Hampshire. We're bowling at the number 10 and 11 and Fuller's bowling short balls from round the wicket.

 

[tomw24]

Hooray!

Fair play to Banton for coming out to bat. But I'm not sure why Overton isn't farming the strike.

 

[st_brendy]

Shame about Essex's points deduction.

Not.

 

[tomw24]

Well, I think Somerset have done enough to make tomorrow interesting. Whatever Surrey have to chase will not be easy.

Tom Banton doing a heroic job, scoring at a run a ball so far.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

194-9 at stumps, Banton’s class showing even when he can’t move his feet.

I am sensing we might not win .

Call me a pessimist , but that’s me .

 

[tomw24]

Perfect start for Hants this morning - both openers dismissed in the first 20 mins of play.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Delayed start at Taunton, umpires protecting Tom Banton apparently. He’s doing so well on one leg it might catch on as a style.

208-9, lead over 200 now
