DAY ONE

Somerset 91/4 (lunch)

Wickets for:

Anderson x 2
Bailey
De grandhomme

For the first time this year- it's a day I wouldnt mind being out on the grass soaking up a bit of sunshine and doing a bit of (not too vigorous) fielding. Not sure if it's the same everywhere in the UK but very pleasant down in Hampshire so far today, even undertaking a bit of gardening isn't beyond question for me this aft (and it often is).

Unbroken fifth wicket stand of 140.

Now 214.

Unbeaten centuries for Abell and Rew, safe to say it hasn't gone to plan for Lancs since lunch.

Good to see Jimmy getting plenty of overs in although 19 will probably be his lot for the day.

294-4 with Somerset set to claim another batting point soon.

Think this might be a drawn game!

Somerset 441 all out

last wkt = 48

Jimmy Anderson 5-76

Some response by Lancs in reply, 302-1, Jennings 124 not out, Wells 82, Bohannon 73 not out as Somerset's weakened attack toiled for much of the day.

Anderson just keeps delivering doesn't he.

302-1 was at just over 5 an over as well, seems batting got a lot easier after the first session of day 1.

Nice start to day 3 for Lancs, Jennings passes 150, 372-1 and rapidly closing on Somerset's total.

Bohannon gone for 85, 387-2 after 74 overs, so Lancs certain to bag maximum batting points.

They've jumped to 450 for max points this year haven't they? Obviously barring a massive collapse we should get them

Jennings retired hurt 189

Lancs easily claim full batting points, 535-7 and building a useful lead, Leach 0-138 in his 26th over.

Unless something dramatic happens this is going to be a high scoring draw, Somerset 41-0 in their 2nd innings still 72 behind Lancs who posted 554 all out.
