Brydon Carse notched the second century of his first-class career in fine style. He hit Kasey Alrdridge for a four and then two consecutive sixes to reach three figures.
He also played a key role in keeping Durham's hopes alive in this game, rescuing them from 170-6 yesterday, and a deficit of 322, to within a whisker of reaching the follow-on target of 343.
His century came in 161 balls and included 11 fours and four sixes. But moments after he reached the landmark Callum Parkinson was out for a duck at the other end.
He was caught at silly point by Tom Banton, off Jack Leach, to give the spinner the 28th five-for of his career. He finished with figures of 5-124.
However, Somerset have decided not to enforce the follow-on. They will bat again with 75 overs remaining in the day. They have decided to take the cautious approach having bowled 100 overs.
