    Trego 14, Hildreth 14

    Kyle Abbott is recalled to the attack by Hampshire, replacing spinner Mason Crane. Peter Trego flicks to mid-wicket but a sliding save by James Fuller keeps him to two. They're the only runs from the over.

    Wonder why Fuller hasn't bowled yet.

  2. Watch: Azhar Ali falls to Fidel Edwardspublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Former West Indies bowler Fidel Edwards gave Hampshire a shred of hope by removing both Somerset openers.

    Here is how he bounced out Azhar Ali.

    Trego 12, Hildreth 14

    Fidel Edwards is pushing 90mph now - the quickest bowling we've seen in the game. But how many more overs can Sam Northeast allow him in this spell?

    Just two singles in the over before James Hildreth finds the shortest boundary with a sublime extra cover drive.

    "With Trego, in his youth, you never knew quite what he was going to do but now he's batting like an old pro.

    "These two are both content to bide their time."

    Trego 11, Hildreth 9

    Mason Crane gets away with one at the start of the new over when James Hildreth tamely paddles a rank long hop to the mid-wicket fielder. This pair - two of Somerset's 'elder statesmen' - are content to picks up ones and twos with good running between the wickets. We;re at the theoretical half-way point of the innings - 106 more needed.

    Trego 8, Hildreth 7

    Fidel Edwards is now finding some reverse swing, which is giving the Somerset something extra to think about. Peter Trego manages to punch one away through mid-wicket and they go through for an all-run four. Hildreth ends the over by pinching the strike with a pull to square leg for one.

  7. Watch: Somerset's Banton is dismissedpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Hampshire claimed their first wicket of the game when Tom Banton was dismissed for 69. Here's how it happened.

    Trego 3, Hildreth 3

    James Hildreth is under way with two runs pushed through point off Mason Crane. Somerset more than halfway to their target now, but they will be on their guard against the loss of further wickets.

    Fidel Edwards attempts a couple of inswinging yorkers to new batsman James Hildreth either side of a bouncer, but he deals with them comfortably. No run yet for Hildreth, though.

    "It's not over until that fat lady sings and those Hampshire supporters are getting into full voice.

    "Two new batsmen at the crease - interesting times with a fast bowler at one end and a leg spinner at the other.

    "It's about temperament, bottle and character now from Somerset."

    Azhar c Rossouw b Edwards 45 (Somerset 121-2, 21.3 overs)

    Fidel Edward's mojo was absent in his opening spell, but he's certainly found it now.

    Azhar Ali is unable to cope with a rapid delivery aimed at his body and lobs an easy catch to mid-wicket.

    A glimmer of hope now for Hampshire.

    Azhar 43, Trego 2

    Somerset settle for a couple of singles. They are still firmly in the driving seat despite Tom Banton's departure.

    Peter Trego is in at three for Somerset.

    Lengthy discussion between Sam Northeast and Fidel Edwards about field placement before Edwards greets Trego with a snorter which forces him into evasive action.

    The next is even quicker and flicks Trego's shoulder before flying over the keeper for four leg-byes - even though no legs were involved.

    Trego finally gets bat on ball and a single ends the over.

    "Somerset seemingly cruising to victory at Lord’s, the 100 up - and afternoon tea has just been served in the press box.

    "Could Tom Banton and Azhar Ali make as short work of this lot as they hungrily are of the Hampshire bowling attack?

    "It might just be Hampshire’s only hope of winning!"

    Banton c Alsop b Edwards 69 (Somerset 112-1, 19.2 overs)

    Fidel Edwards returns after conceding 31 from his opening three overs and his second delivery takes the inside edge and flies through to the keeper, bringing Tom Banton's impressive innings to an end.

    Signs of impatience from Tom Banton before he collects a single to get off strike. Mason Crane may be Hampshire's best hope of a breakthrough. He is finding a little turn.

    Good over by Gareth Berg - just a single from it. But Hampshire need wickets to give themselves any chance.

    Tom Banton brings out the reverse sweep and he times it perfectly down to the boundary.

    Mason Crane's next delivery is played less convincingly but an uppish, sliced drive flies through a gap at point for four more.

    Next it's an orthodox sweep by Banton to square leg, where Kyle Abbott decides a dive isn't worth it - 14 from the over.
