The miserable scene at the CACG, and if the forecasts are correct then I’m afraid that that will be that for the day and the match, Somerset Cricket 🏆 taking 15 pts and Notts 10 BBC Sport Bristol BBC Somerset #bbccricket
Goodness me, what a long day that was! Flawless batting on a flawless pitch, but it didn't make for much excitement. Somerset Cricket 🏆 bowlers stuck to their guns and the fielding never flagged. But a draw it will surely be BBC Sport Bristol BBC Somerset
Not much this morning to suggest that this will be over today. The Somerset Cricket 🏆 bowlers have plugged away steadily, but apart from the absolute jaffa that Craig Overton produced to bowl Hameed, the batsmen have been making untroubled progress. BBC Sport Bristol #bbccricket
“I don’t think people realise how few red ball games I have played over the last three seasons. I know I have to work hard to make runs in the Championship'
An excellent interview with Tom Banton after he scored 83 today for Somerset

Another excellent day's cricket. Besides Josh Davey's sterling effort, it was good to see Tom Banton reinforcing his credentials as a red ball batsman. Shame that another fine Craig Overton inns wasn't crowned with a century. Pretorius redeemed. Bashir likewise tomorrow?
Rather a slow session, as Somerset Cricket 🏆 lost 3 wkts in adding 78 to their overnight 116/1. Josh Davey the man of the morning, batting more like a regular number 3 than a nightwatchman. BBC Sport Bristol BBC Somerset
Beautiful morning at the CACG for day 2 of Somerset Cricket 🏆 v Nottinghamshire CCC. Commentary from self, Dave Bracegirdle and Annie Chave on BBC website and app from 11 BBC Sport Bristol
What a splendid day's cricket, for Somerset Cricket 🏆 at least. Sunshine, a decent crowd, the CACG looking a picture, an ideal commentary position and a top-class performance from bowlers and openers to describe. Only one thing missing: Kasey Aldridge! BBC Sport Bristol Charlie Taylor
NFUsomerset members and staff had a great time this week, helping out at the Royal Bath and West Field to Food day. Already looking forward to next year!
One of the best views in cricket. Fine, dry but a bit chilly at the CACG for Somerset Cricket 🏆 v Nottinghamshire CCC. Notts win toss and bat. Davey in for rested Aldridge. The NZ test player Will Young plays for Notts. Commentary on BBC Sport website and app from 11
Phew! Bit close for comfort, that. Who says draws are only any good for swimming in? (Sammy Woods, since you ask). Take a last day bow Kasey Aldridge, Craig Overton and, most of all, the skipper. Mind you, the K ball helped! Somerset Cricket 🏆 BBC Sport Bristol
Trust Somerset Cricket 🏆 to make a crisis out of a drama. So close to making the game safe…..BBC Sport Bristol
A shower has arrived just as we were about to start. May be a short delay BBC Sport Bristol
A decent morning for Somerset Cricket 🏆 as they mopped up the last 4 Surrey wkts at a cost of 70, but rather spoilt by the loss of Sean Dickson. Unlucky to be given out caught down the leg side? He certainly thought so BBC Sport Bristol #bbccricket
A fine, if cool, morning as the players warm up. Somerset Cricket 🏆’s bowlers contained well yesterday; now they need wickets, quickly, to keep the Surrey lead within reasonable bounds. Join us on BBC Sport website and app for commentary from 11 BBC Sport Bristol
Three prime wickets for Somerset Cricket 🏆 in the afternoon session but Jamie Smith is looking ominously good. No sign yet of a Somerset-style collapse, I’m afraid
