Looks like a nice sort of morning for batting. 5 down by lunch?

It is just all rovers now, they will definitely score at least another one

That possibility occurred to me a few weeks back

Don't jinx it!

Would love a draw, not looking good now though is it?

Or maybe we have a plan to make them face a few overs this evening ?

Mark Church isn't it?

Oh well. Another painful season ahead I fear

That would still be higher than the general population. Only 66% of 25-29 year olds have had a first jab.

I genuinely assumed I'd misheard it.

They aren't doing much in the Bob Willis trophy either. ?

Ok, my guess is that they are going to try to set 300 in 70 overs, get us batting for a quick session before lunch.

Ffs, I was joking when I wrote it

Or just another 9 amazingly! So will Somerset be able to reach 3 figures? And if so avoid the follow on?

It's like they've just given up for the season

Crazy when we can be 134 all out but have outscored 4 other teams today - those were all put in to bat though of course.

Or maybe adding 10. At least we can expect MDL to provide some stability.

Nah, Leach & Davey to save the follow on by adding 200+ for the 8th wicket ?

Sensible batting required by Somerset for the rest of the day. What could possibly go wrong? ?

Brooks and MDL in the team makes me a little nervous as they can both be quite expensive at times and that first over didn't go terribly well.

The one question is will Warwickshire be thinking about trying to qualify still? It would require Surrey to lose which seems unlikely, but the calculation they need to look at is if Surrey fail to win by one run then Warwickshire need to improve their run rate a bit - I think they'd need to knock the runs off in 40.3 overs. If they take the full 50 overs then they are relying on Surrey failing to reach 180. (Maths could be entirely wrong on those NRRs as I've done it very quickly)

I struggle to see Somerset winning this one sadly. The young bowlers are going to need to really perform well

Glos need Lancs to lose as well don't they? Second in each group plays third in the other and winners of those games play winners of the groups in the semis.

Have you seen the crowd we have at Taunton today? There are 2,000 of us locked outside having to watch the live stream

Pressure will be on to be scoring from the start and I can't see our bowlers getting us out of trouble when the top order collapses
