Surrey 459 v Somerset 180 & 59-4 (f/o)
Somerset have two experienced heads in the middle in James Hildreth and Steven Davies.
The pair have almost 28,000 first-class runs between them - Somerset will need all of that nouse to get them out of this one at Guildford.

It's Ben Cox's turn to join the fun.
The wicketkeeper has a massive swipe at Tom Bailey and the ball sails into the member's pavilion at New Road.
Lancashire will be desperate to get off the field.

Oh dear. Somerset are three down in no time.
Morne Morkel digs one in to Ed Byrom and he can only fend it to Will Jacks at short leg.
Anything good to do on Friday afternoon in Guildford?
