    Somerset 181-3, need 84 to beat Durham

    Tom Lammonby and Tom Abell have added 53 runs so far and Somerset look to be heading towards their third win in a row.

    There's been little to concern the batsmen today and the track seems to have flattened down after 18 wickets fell here yesterday.

    Batting looks far more straightforward than at any other point in this game. I think we will be done by tea, unless we get a heavy shower.
