Good day's play. We must bat well tomorrow and try and get a lead - Monday could be a washout.

A big game for Nick Browne.

I know this will be seen as mega Jonah but Dean Elgar is turning into a run machine. 👍

Yep, the Jonah effect. Khushi's very disciplined at the moment. Need a big innings from him today.

All forgiven - Khushi has played a superb innings, and now that Browne has settled in it's tea and Durham haven't taken a wicket in that session. We've also avoided the follow on. Tomorrow looks like a washout. Looking like a draw, unless Durham decide to give us something to chase and win on Monday.

Another decent day, shame about the forecast. Plus looking good for Surrey unfortunately.

I hope they had the covers on overnight in Taunton. Notwithstanding that, it looks like there won't be a full days play with the weather forecast as it is. But the when play does start, the ball could be moving around a fair bit for the Essex pace trio.

And Surrey aren't playing.

I think the wicket and atmospheric conditions are difficult and could remain so.

Game could be all over today! But let's hope we can bat better in the second dig and set them a decent total.

Seems like a very bowler friendly wicket !

It's got more batsman friendly in the later afternoon.

This defeat and only 3 bonus points could cost us very dearly :(

37 wickets in 2 days - wasn't that long ago Somerset were preparing spinner's wickets. Our second innings was rather poor. Yes it was a bowlers' wicket but some of our batters were out to poor shots eg Elgar - 10 runs for the whole match. Top until next weekend, be great if Surrey lose.
