    2 incredible innings have turned the match in our favour. That's the thing with Vince - he gets a bunch of low scores and then produces an innings like this.

    Annoying for bad light to disrupt this partnership, but looking ahead I'd rather be bowling tomorrow than today. Clearly Abbott is the main bowler, and we're better off not needing to bowl him until he's a good nights sleep.

    Somerset v Essex will be a cracking game. It looks like Essex will go into the game 12 or 13 points ahead so Somerset will have to win. But they have the big advantage of being at home. I just hope the weather doesn't ruin it.

    That's the conventional thought. Hopefully the pitch eases and Somerset can overcome their nerves.

    Essex look on their way to victory so Somerset have to win!

    Do you really think Essex would be defeated going into a Match with their noses in front? Could be a great.week for them if they win the T20.

    Come on boys! Nearly 2 whole days to get 281 is on paper quite straightforward.

    But.....Kyle Abbott!

    Think you might get these Chilco. The devil has gone out of the wicket by the seem of things 61-0.

    I’m taking nothing for granted, but the new ball has been well and truly seen off by this excellent opening partnership!

    Hope you can tear yourself away from the cricket, go for a relaxing walk and come back refreshed!!! It is a nerve twanging time for you that not even your devotion to Saints will match this season.

    A walk sounds good, but I’m awaiting a call from the plumber about a part for my boiler! <yikes>

    Oh no!!! You need it going into the autumn if it is essential for your central heating system.

    Things are not what they seem when it is seaming all around the place.

    Cool heads required!!! This will go down to the wire with either a few runs or a few wickets in it.

    Essex on their way to a win it seems with Surrey two wickets down and still have some way to go to make Essex bat again.
