Just need two more days play abandoned and I fancy us to hold on for a draw.

[PGW]

No play before lunch at Taunton...Wet outfield.

[PGW]

They did manage to get started for a bit moving from 93/3 onto 124/3 39 overs.
This allowed Trott sufficient time to get to his 50 then rain came in once again
with his partner Hain 19.

[Villan For Life]

There was an inspection at 4.45pm but it's since started to rain again.

[Villan For Life]

Play now abandoned for the day.

Good. About time the Bears got their season going.

[cdbearsfan]

I wonder if we might try to engineer a result, here.

Clarke in

I think Bears may just bat and bat to deny Somerset the opportunity to get batting points later today and tomorrow.
Hopefully then maybe bowl Somerset out twice to get the win. Highly unlikely scenario though i would assume.

Draws are no good. Declare at 350 if they are willing to forfeit their first innings, we forfeit our second.  Four sessions for them to get 351 or us to get 10 wickets.
