Third game is at Taunton son Sunday.
Hopefully Sam Hain and Theo Wylie are fit to return, it might also be a good chance to give Charlie Taylor his first game.

It’s the wickets column that’s the most concerning.
Wylie was on as sub fielder at one point yesterday.
If he was fit to play makes his omission even harsher. He did well on his debut and should have been allowed to build on that.
God knows what the XI will be...
Presumably the Media team are too busy being "Edgbaston" to worry about Warwickshire County Cricket Club.
There's quite an extensive preview on the Somerset site. They seem to think Kai Smith has been hard done by this year.
That preview has been 'lifted' from Cricinfo, word for word. Its from Brian Halford.
Sam Hain ruled out of the remaining campaign with a knee injury.
Yates will captain.
Wylie?!

Again it is very harsh that Theo Wylie is omitted, but very pleased to see Charlie Taylor making his debut.
He's a very young, and talented, player. We should not judge him just on his performance today.
Good delivery from Bamber there
Nice too see young Taylor making his debut, I think with the injuries the best we can expect from this cup is to blood some youngsters.
God, the Somerset commentators are so biased and sh**. Peter Trego needs filling in.
It would be nice to beat these as their crowd are arseholes.
They're paying for the feed and we're consuming for free. Can't really complain. Taylor has looked alright so far. Clearly the fastest and although they've gone after him he's created a few chances.
Taylor has found the edge a few times and has a decent bouncer in his repertoire. Looks a good prospect with a repeatable action.
He's unlucky not to have a wicket.
I have had to turn the sound off. I cant listen to how good Lammonby & Goldsworthy are when they are bang average players in reality. Mind you, we always seem to do a great job in helping their averages out.
Hopefully Lintott can find a couple of wickets because this has gone from us having decent control to over 5 an over quite quickly.
Taylor has been a bit unlucky & Taz Ali again just looks a little off it. Some indifferent fielding.
With Sam Hain out for the whole competition, it is increasingly looking as if the focus will have to go on giving experience to young players rather than seeking to win the trophy.

Which makes the non selection of Wylie even more baffling.
