Lancashire could get a decent lead here. Currently 426-5, 3 runs behind : Vilas 188 n.o., likes double hundreds, scored 244 against Hampshire last year.

Chance of a surprising win for Lancashire : Somerset 157-6, 94 ahead. Must be spinning as leg spinner Matt Parkinson has taken 4 wickets.
..yep, been keeping an eye on the scoreboard, last I saw was 4 wickets down at lunch. Good news, let’s hope it’s a run chase in the final session.
..I notice Trescothick is hurt and not due to bat so probably 3 wickets needed.

Don't want to be chasing too many. Been a lot of low scores so far this season. To flip that though, Yorkshire were bowled out for 50, and won.
..just listened to a bit of the commentary on BBC website but switched it off when they hit a 6. Another 50+ leaves a difficult chase.

Somerset 199-7, lead by 136.
...draw.
..great start for Lancashire bowling Notts out for 133 at Trent Bridge. Lancs 87-1 in reply, Hameed coming in at no3, he’s going through a difficult period.

Sadly, a big, fat duck. Lancashire closed on 157-4, 24 runs ahead. Jennings coming into form, 52 n.o.
Didn't know Graham Onions had signed for Lancashire ; excellent figures today - 11-4-22-3.
Hameed looks like he's unsure of himself at the moment. Hung around hoping to get off the mark easily rather than forcing the issue like Livingstone (cut for 4 of the back foot) or Davies did. He's a quality player but struggling at the moment.
Class player. Needs to be given licence to expose by England. No pressure and let him do a Gilchrist/Kluesner role and bludgeon from lower order. Hard to do it when top/middle order have collapsed like
