We needed that, superb effort. Wheal deserved another wicket.

Hopefully that will stem the flow of runs a bit.

Nice, wicket just before lunch.

 

[tomw24]

5 down.

 

[Ian Thumwood]

Nice to have been at The Oval today.

 

[tomw24]

Baker doing everything except taking a wicket. Really good spell of fast bowling.

 

[tomw24]

Breakthrough!

 

[tomw24]

Nice one Daws.

Now to blow the tail away.

Pretty rare for all three of Burns, Pope and Clark to not score big against us.

 

[tomw24]

Well done Sonny. Deserves a wicket.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Arise Sir James Anderson

 

[tomw24]

253 all out.

By all accounts Stokes is a big fan of McKinney (albeit maybe some Durham bias there). So if Crawley's poor form continues, McKinney might make his test debut this summer.

Poor drop from Lawrence.

 

[st_brendy]

Very solid first day

 

[tomw24]

My target was 50-1 so very happy with those 16 overs batting. Very good day.

 

[tomw24]

No Banton to get Somerset out a hole this time.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Arise Sir James Anderson

Bump

 

[tomw24]

28 off 118 balls? Nowhere near good enough from Stoneman.

And that's the problem with stalling the scoring. It's fine to start slowly if we then push on. But instead we've gone nowhere and lost both set batters.

Based on runs scored, we've lost our third wicket earlier than Surrey. It's really not difficult to see this turn into 110-5 or something.
