Leicestershire have avoided the follow on.

Its a great win really. Lost the toss and shoved in, to rack up runs early on in tough conditions twice due to rain is a huge show of character. The bowlers have been great but make no mistake this win was set up by Rob Yates and Dan Mousley, great batting. I love these sort of wins, runs on the board, catchers in, spinner on from one end seamers rotating from the other.

It wasn't that long ago Hampshire were doing this to us.

You Bears.

Not related to our game but go and check out George Hill's caught & bowled to dismiss Adam Thomas in the Surrey v Yorkshire game.

Hes putting on a clinic here, you knows he's 'on' when hes nicking left handers off.

Unplayable from Woakes then what a ball.

Yeah poor that, never his catch.

Made amends there, nice work standing up.

If OHD (and possibly Barnard instead) and Suthar can keep going until they're all out first innings, then Woakes and Bamber can come on fresh with the follow-on. I assume we would open with two quicks and then bring on Suthar early rather than open with him!

Yeah that be ideal.

Only ground in the division where they've started on time is...Taunton. Obviously.

Forecast seems to suggest a delayed start today?

Im not an automatic follow on guy but if we bowl them out for about a 220 lead then we should definitely put them back in. Hampshire top order so brittle.

It is absolutely raggin

Oh thats a gift from Gubbins!

398 all out. I'd have liked a few more but a very good effort after being shoved in.

Was just coming into to say, they've been amazingly bad, 5 dropped catches this innings, 3 today.

Edit to say there may have been more, ive missed bits.

Terrible decision on Woakes then.

The one end does look pretty bare, there's definitely something there for the spinner.

Our session. Well batted Rob Yates.

Yep Somerset got 82 overs play in down at Taunton, almost a full day and they've gotten well on top already after winning the toss in favourable bowling conditions. We've grafted through one morning without the chance to cash in during the afternoon, now we cop for another tricky morning as Hampshire get another go in what will likely be the days best bowling conditions.
