What do we reckon then? 200 off 40 is too getable or just tempting enough?

I'd happily set them that, even if they don't go for it, we would have an outside chance

[budgetmeansbudget]

Raining now, so all pretty irrelevant.

Any target was being set pretty half heartedly anyway with the knowledge that a win is more important to Somerset than us.

Thing is a win would put us back in the title race so a bit of a dilemma, stick or twist and all that jazz.

Seems like an awfully generous declaration if you ask me

That's going to be interesting to follow this evening. Feels like back in the Warny days!

Looks like they've decided to twist, but over five an over in these conditions with this ball will still take some getting.

The advantage for Somerset is that they can go for it until they are 5 down, and then shut up shop.

Then the rain could always intervene again.

One down, nine to go.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Two down.

Davies sent up the order to go for it, not sure they will now after this start.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Davies starting to motor.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Hildreth gone.

This could end up in the most riveting finish.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Davies starting to motor.

And has just gone up a gear.

If he stays in for another ten overs we'll lose.

[budgetmeansbudget]

30 runs from the last 3 overs, not looking good.

We need a wicket soon, preferably Davies.

If we do lose this game it will make our second innings look exceedingly odd.

4 down, but Davies still in.

Come on!!!!!!!

Tom Abell to play a captain's innings at last?!
