pins him on the front pad - giveeeeennnnnnnn! Leach gets two in three balls and Somerset have knocked over the reigning champions with minutes to go. Worrall pushed forward more in hope that judgement and was beaten on the inside edge, as Surrey's attempts to block out the final day fail in dramatic fashion
Somerset vs Surrey, 59th Match at Taunton, County DIV1, Sep 09 2024 - Match Result
5.30pm: Absolute #scenes at Taunton, Somerset's players cheered to the rafters as they walk from the field. Surrey were 95 for 3 less than 20 overs ago, but the dismissals of Ben Foakes and Dom Sibley triggered a collapse. Somerset, remember, have never won the County Championship in their history... and now they are front and centre as the main contenders to stop a Surrey three-peat. Anyway, thanks for joining us on pop-up comms, we'll be back when you least expect it. Bye!
pushed through and turning on middle, Worrall blocks
Last man Dan Worrall walks in, every Somerset player around the bat. Five minutes left in the day
GOTTIM! Surrey nine down!! A jaffa from Jack Leach to dislodge Jordan Clark for a heroic 47-ball duck. Tossed up and spinning, just a tickle of the outside edge on this one and up goes the finger
another beauty from Leach, ragged past the edge! But no bat on it
slightly faster wide of off, Clark happy to play inside the line
turning on off stump, Clark defends solidly once again
tossed up, turning on off, Roach lines it up in defence - and another over ticks by
flighted, outside off and blocked on the front foot again
floated full, wide of off, Roach shoulders arms... and it scoots through low past Rew for byes
Roach continues to show a dogged straight bat
defended on off stump
Archie Vaughan is back
"When does the pitch inspector visit? 27 of 38 wickets to spin? Not a fair surface." Well, Mark, given we're deep into the final hour with the result uncertain, I can't see any valid complaints on that front
gives this some air, lovely bowling but it does too much for Somerset's purposes, spinning an inch or two past the outside edge!
Leach zips this down on off, Clark is forward and dead-bats it
defended square on the off side
similar line, again he happily plays inside it
pushed through outside off, Clark lets it go through
Roach keeps Goldsworthy out for the full six
