Absolute meltdown on social media about the pitch already. Love it

There are so many g*s here tonight I might convert into a Somerset fan

Hales was so good tonight, incredible.

Glos should get promoted really

Let it rain let it rain

This kid is a joke

We have some serious short format talent with the bat coming through in this country, struggling for bowlers on the whole but wow some of the shots tonight were just stupid, that’s about the only word I can think to describe them that Pope shot was unfathomably good, Banton on his day is a complete joke too

Nope The whole point of the hundred was to get a lot of games on free-to-air tv and it was widely reported (and further confirmed by bbc spokesman) that they were having a large say in the rules. BBC want to cram games into 2 hour slots so told the ECB that they would recommend a 10 ball over to speed things up. For once, Sky are blameless, BBC have been a ******* nightmare in this process.

Sky? It's on the BBC

Yeah 'cos you're the best team But point still stands people moaning about pitches but try and eek out 384 overs of cricket for maximum income Somerset/Warks only 2 counties I know of that actively create pitches to force results in games. Good on the both

Look at all these moaning ***** moaning about Somerset hahaha grow up bunch of ******* idiots It's simple isn't it (I know prev game was away to Kent on a shit heap but rant still stands) Somerset create cricket pitches to force results. They back themselves to win games of cricket on said cricket pitches. They get promoted. They then win div 1. Not really a ******* coincidence, meanwhile bellends in Surrey Yorkshire etc etc are trying to prepare the m32 to last x4 days to maximise money over success. **** 'em rant over again

I think there was a hole in the covers overnight and the pitch was soaking

O ye, of little faith!

Walk in the park Congratulations Somerset... a fantastic year for you so far. That's 2 RLODCs for the South West in 4 years Perhaps Sky may give either of us some coverage, or the ECB for that matter It's a ******* mess really. I don't buy into the rivalry because I hate the ECB that much, rather both win and shove 2 fingers up to the *****. South West is best!!! Anyway, rant over... Congrats again

300 chase should be a dolly for Somerset

We have a game on the Monday they could be playing instead. This isn't an ECB decision. They have made that very clear. The ICC are refusing to allow them permission to play

How ridiculous is the ICC rule regarding Dawson & Vince. I can't quite understand it really, very peculiar. Anyway, not sure how the bookies make Hants favs without Vince/Dawson. V Disrespectful to Somerset

Quality player But too slow England tonnes of players who can score centuries at 130 s/r, counties like Pakistan have players who can do it at a 100 s/r. That's the difference and why we are preparing so many flat tracks, we can't be beaten consistently on them. A bit boring.

Kent are 3/1 with bookies!

Congrats to Somerset Happy with Glos year, got a couple of nice youngsters

Am I right in saying if Glos win, Somerset lose then both can still be knocked out? Sussex defend this in 40 odd and they go through?

Nice pictures, thanks @phantom

Horrible stuff

Amazing

Excited for this.
