Shakib Al Hasan is purposefully spearing deliveries at the base of Tom Banton's stumps.

Banton responds with a reverse sweep for four! He moves to 45.

Somerset lead by 216.

There's been plenty of last-pair heroics down the years in this beautiful game - but not many last-trio heroics.

Tom Banton somehow survives Shakib Al Hasan's 28th over which costs just a Craig Overton single.

The Bangladesh all-rounder certainly made life uncomfortable for the Somerset man.

Two singles off Dan Worrall takes Overton to 47, while Banton goes to 41.

Three from the over and the lead is 211.

With more showers in the forecast, could we be in for an unlikely declaration?

Will Rhodes completes his third century of the season.

And all of them have been against the Kookaburra ball.

178 at the start of the season, 201 last month against Kent - and now this one too.

His end-of-season departure to Durham will be a big loss to the Bears.

Double bowling change at Lord's with Tom Helm and Henry Brookes replacing new ball bowlers, Toby Roland-Jones and Ryan Higgins.

Ollie Price carves a Brookes ball through cover point for four and the Gloucester 50 comes in the next over when Miles Hammond pulls a short, leg side ball from Helm over square leg for six.

That's 50 runs in 13.2 overs. Game on.

Anderson Phillip takes advantage of a leg side delivery from Callum Parkinson, glancing that away for four to bring up the 200 in 61.1 overs.

But there's really not much to write home about for Lancashire this morning.

Their realistic hopes of a draw have been dashed in one over from Matt Potts, taking three wickets in four balls.

Kent's deficit is into double figures.

Those two early wickets haven't begun a deluge, in fact, Daniel Bell-Drummond finding his rhythm nicely.

The Kent skipper strikes a trio of boundaries off a Kyle Abbott over.

Two singles are taken from Shakib Al Hasan's latest over.

Dan Worrall continues and Craig Overton picks up a leg bye from the first ball.

Worrall spears in a good yorker at the immobile Tom Banton and the batter does well to get bat on it.

An outside edge, a shy at the stumps and Banton gets one more to take his total to 40.

Overton drives up to Jordan Clark at long on to move within six of a half-century.

The last two partnerships have now been worth 89.

There's a decent crowd in here, more than you would normally see on a fourth day here and there's a good reason for that.

I think this is the most important day for Somerset cricket in the last five years since they were challenging for the County Championship.

That isn't something Kent want to see.

Kyle Abbott has been unerringly accurate this morning but the pitch has suggested he is going to have another weapon in his arsenal.

A delivery on a length has lept up at Daniel Bell-Drummond and taken the shoulder of the bat. It falls safe but Hampshire will enjoy seeing that.

Tom Banton is incapable of foot movement but Dan Worrall serves one up outside off stump and he gaccepts the gift.

He drives past Rory Burns to the cover boundary for four to move to 38 and bring up the fifty partnership with Craig Overton.

It also takes the Somerset lead past 200 - a benchmark they would have targeted I'm sure.

Tony (Somerset fan and definitely not a neutral)

Four overs from Sam Cook this morning before Jamie Porter replaces him.

Two wickets for the Little Chef which takes him to 38 scalps in an injury-hit season.

You fancy Cook and Porter to share one end, with Simon Harmer twirling away at the other, for much of today.

Toby Roland-Jones is bowling well without reward so far this morning, getting a ball to cut back and seam over the top of the stumps, bowling to Gloucester number three Ollie Price.

Maiden over.

Miles Hammond is forward to Ryan Higgins driving through the off side but without clearing cover.

He'll get off the mark this time though, moving across the stumps to tickle a leg side ball round the corner for four.

Somerset 317 & 201-9 v Surrey 321

A thick outside edge gives Tom Banton another single to move into the 30s.

Craig Overton drives to mid-on and a scampered run - not by Banton of course.

Banton then tickles Shakib's last ball around the corner and they run hard to take three runs. The lead is 197.
