County Championship: Surrey hit back after Lammomby century for Somerset

Tom Lammonby's hundred was his seventh in first-class cricket

Matt Renshaw's run out for 87 sparked a Somerset collapse that saw Surrey take the initiative on the opening day of their County Championship clash at the Oval.

Renshaw departure in mid-afternoon saw the visitors go from 196-1 to an eventual 285 all out despite Tom Lammonby hitting exactly 100.

Renshaw responded to Lammonby's call for a very sharp single, when he was on 99, after Jordan Clark initially fumbled at mid on.

But Clark quickly pounced on the loose ball and, from behind the bowler's stumps, scored a direct hit at the wicketkeeper's end.

Lammonby and Renshaw had built an impressive 178-run stand for the second wicket but Somerset then lost seven wickets for 20 runs in 13.1 overs.

It took a pugnacious 50 from skipper Lewis Gregory, supported by Shoaib Bashir's 10 not out in a last-wicket partnership of 49, to haul Somerset up to a respectable first-innings total.

Surrey replied with 42 without loss in 15 overs before the close.

• County Championship: day one as it happened

Somerset lost Sean Dickson for 10 in the fourth over when he edged Clark and saw Dom Sibley react brilliantly to scoop up a fine reflex low catch at first slip after the ball had hit second slip Jamie Overton in the chest.

Lammonby completed his seventh first-class hundred but then fell to his very next ball as Clark angled one into his pads from around the wicket.

Gus Atkinson had Tom Banton brilliantly caught behind by Ben Foakes for one to leave Somerset on 199-4 and three wickets fell at 211.

Lewis Goldsworthy (10) edged Cameron Steel's leg spin to slip, James Rew (three) wafted at a wider ball from Atkinson to edge to Foakes and Kasey Aldridge could only fence at Atkinson's next ball to lob tamely to gully.

Five runs later Craig Overton was bowled by a near-yorker length ball from Steel, and after tea was taken at 231-8, Migael Pretorius edged a cut at Steel to Foakes to go for 10.

It was all over when Gregory edged a loopy Steel leg break to slip as the spinner finished with 4-50 and Atkinson 3-57.
