30th over: Somerset 90-3 ( Bartlett 8, Byrom 39) An over too far from Beard as Byrom knocks him for three lip-smackers, an off drive, a clip off his hip and a glide through extra-cover. Then a misfield gives him yet another boundary as Harmer drifts to0 far onto his toes. And that’s lunch! A more-than-tentative recovery there from Somerset in the last half hour. Time for me to stretch my legs, back in 40 minutes.
28th over: Somerset 71-3 ( Bartlett 6, Byrom 22) A hand san break moments before lunch. Hmmm. A deep breath by Somerset, Bartlett and Byrom have steadied what could easily have turned into a shipwreck. A glorious four by Byrom off Beard, then they even dredge three runs off Harmer, who has now leaked 6 from his five overs this morning.
