I can see the pitch inspectors docking Somerset heavily for this.
This could easily end their championship hopes even if they win
More than a suspicion of a sub standard wicket - its almost like blatant cheating

They've done well to fight back. The bowlers have done a good job.

Its just cheating
I remember reading in the winter they were going to scrap their policy of producing turning tracks (here - Times - Somerset to scrap their big turners ). But clearly when push comes to shove, they're only too happy to create ridiculous surfaces that suit them nicely.
They should throw the book at them. Take any points for winning away and add a deduction of 40 more, even relegate Somerset, they're a disgrace to the championship

That is dreadful.
We wouldn't have been allowed to play on that in a school game, nevermind County.
We've let these off the hook big time. Relegation for sure now

Could be over tonight. Somerset 192, Lancashire 7-2, shock horror, Leach with both wickets.
TWO DOWN? Hahahahahaaha

It's turning miles - a complete farce.
No point cryarseing over the pitch. This current Lancs batting line-up would struggle to get consistently decent scores even on the flattest of wickets.
Garbage with the bat all season and no change today.

Somerset were 97-8 at one stage. Almost 100 runs for the last 2 wickets. I think the game was won and lost there.

Although at Southport they had their biggest second innings run chase since 2002. The pitch has clearly been doctored.
Lancashire close on 7-2. Other relegation scores.
Worcestershire 68-4 in reply to Hampshire's 191
Nottinghamshire, playing Yorkshire, 332-7
