21/3 now. Awful skied shot from Rob Yates. What was he thinking?? This is abysmal.

11/2, Sibley gone....this is hopeless. Somerset could well finish this inside 3 days....

Davies gone cheaply for nine. 11/1.....not looking good.

I'm afraid OH-D just missed his maiden ton by 92 runs! As predicted, follow-on enforced......we need to dig in!

The only saviour to enable a draw looks to be the weather! Tomorrow in Taunton looks to be wet until after lunch. Somerset will most likely enforce the follow-on this morning. Batsmen need to dig in today......no one day shots (Davies)!

Alex Davies is a good player, but too much in white ball mode for me. Not a great day at all. Can we muster 3 runs tomorrow for a single batting point? Somerset have lost their first 3 games up until now. Suspect they'll enforce the follow-on...

Commentators on the live stream singing Keith Barker's praises! I always thought releasing him 4 years ago was a mistake. Anyway 60/3 now. Sibley was unlucky to be out lbw. The ball looked to be drifting down the leg side. He was none too happy with the Umpires decision!

McAndrew: 25 overs cost 100 runs. Not great at all. Bring back Henry Brookes!

Our overseas recruitment for red ball cricket was poor last season. Thankfully, we basically won the County Championship trophy without much input from 3 signings. Batsman Pieter Malan had visa issues in early April 2021 resulting in Vihari signed as a temporary replacement. West Indies quick Chemar Holder signed in August but failed to make any real impression. Fast forward to now and, not wishing to write-off Nathan McAndrew yet, but this appears to be another second-tier overseas signing. A top red ball signing would really enhance our line-up. Warwickshire is a big County and should be seriously looking at this position in future. I wonder how much was spent last season on Malan, Vihari and Holder?

McAndrew shouldn't have been selected for this game. Too early. I must admit I'd never heard of him. Maybe it's early days, but a worrying decision as the overseas signing. Perhaps Brookes should've played?

157/1. Batsmen coping easily. Really missing Norwell, not to mention Woakes and Stone.

Not the best bowling so far. A bit expensive on an overcast day. A good decision to field first?

I see Chris Woakes has signed a two year extension to his contract. Hopefully we'll see him play for the Bears a bit more often!

Yes, a convincing win in the end. Looks likely that Davies will continue as an opener? A good combination with Dom Sibley who will play the anchor role I'd imagine? We still have McAndrew to come in yet! A very strong squad!

A good day overall. A slog to get 8 wickets, but we should wrap this up tomorrow.

Hopefully Liam recovers quickly. How does it work with Miles if Liam is fit tomorrow? All in all a great day for the Bears. Burgess - what a great knock! Spectacular hitting!

What's the issue with McAndrew? I notice Australians, Steketee in this match for Essex and Labuschagne for Glamorgan are both playing. Seemingly no problems with obtaining Visa's?

One slight concern is no wickets again for HB. I thought Craig Miles was excellent at the end of last season and should be playing.

Olly has improved so much these last few seasons. An excellent bowler now, so consistent. Well deserved contract extension.

Is Olly likely to be in contention for Essex next week? It will be good to see him back in our attack. Him and Norwell would add real potency with their pace...
