    23.2 rocks back on an ill-balanced cut, too close to the body, and smashes his middle stump via an inside-edge! 85/4

    10.3 nip off the seam, just back of a length, Bohannon attempts to play inside the line but is squared up for a thin nick through to the keeper 41/2
    19.4 climbs through the drive, on the full length, but takes an inside-edge into the stumps 70/3
    29.2 throws his hands through a full-faced drive, but Gregory's full length and angle defeat him off the pitch. Thumps a planted front pad and Lancashire are five-down 114/5
    30.2 round the wicket, probing full length, that dips on Wells as he flings his hands into the drive, thumped on the shin, that's plumb! 114/6
    32.2 beauty from Overton! Line and length, nipping off the seam once more, beating the outside edge and thumping the off stump. Lancashire are in tatters, Somerset are soaring! 115/7
    33.1 pushed across the left-hander, drawing a hard-handed push, a low edge flies to third slip who clings on well to his left. This innings is an ex-innings 115/8
    39.6 goes for a big wipe across the line, doesn't get proper hold of it, mid-on back-pedals to pocket the chance. Somerset have laid down a marker and a half from this penultimate round of the Championship 140/9
    35.5 inswinging yorker, thumped on the toe, up goes the finger! A formidable post-lunch onslaught continues 121/9

    0.1 first-ball breakthrough! Back of a length, outside off, nips away off the seam but it's a nothing ball and a nothing shot. Umeed shapes to leave, the ball thumps the toe-end as he does so, deflects high to Jennings at second slip who grabs hold with glee. Lifeline for Lancs! 0/1
    19.2 wide line, Vaughan is drawn into an expansive cut, and under-edges through to the keeper! A loose way to go, but that's the breakthrough Lancashire needed 58/2
    20.2 round the wicket, straightens off the seam, two slips in place and it just carries to the first of them. Lammonby's stay is over 60/3
    34.5 nip and bounce outside off, that's a lovely delivery, and Abell is committed even as he tries to leave. Too close to his body to escape, a flick through to the keeper. Somerset's day is unravelling fast 117/7
    21.2 TKC falls cheaply! Full and straight from Balderson, attacking the base of off stump, drawing a defensive push and gathered behind the stumps to give Lancashire a real boost going into tea 65/4
    23.6 another beauty from Balderson and now this contest is in the balance! Perfect line, angling in, nipping away, taking the edge from round the wicket. The keeper gathers again. Now then 71/5
    27.1 Plays down the wrong line! Impeccable line and length from Balderson, hitting the pitch hard as Aldridge pokes hopefully back whence it came. Off stump out of the ground and now Somerset have a scrap on their hands. Valuable bonus points going up in smoke too... 83/6

    36.4 preposterous slower ball! Bailey cuts the power in his delivery stride and loops a baffling moon-ball into Overton's blockhole. He initially ducks, Chris Read-style, thinking its a beamer, but can't recover to dig out the yorker as it plops onto his toe, bang in front of middle! 121/8
