Rain stopped. Covers coming off. Expecting re-start at 2 BBC Sport Bristol #bbccricket

So 265 is the target. Not impossible but certainly unlikely, on an unpredictale pitch against a decent Durham attack. If Somerset Cricket do go down, I sincerely hope it's not without a fight BBC Sport Bristol #bbccricket

Bright and breezy, with showers about, at CLS on what could prove to be - one way or the other - a momentous day in Somerset Cricket’s season. Another 194 needed. Just seen James Rew having a net. Commentary on usual channels from 11.


So far, so good, especially from Tom Lammonby. Shower threatening as I write. Fingers crossed on both counts BBC Sport Bristol Somerset Cricket


Bright and breezy at Chelmsford, from where we’ll be bringing you a double helping of Somerset Cricket v Essex, starting with the women’s game at 12. Sophie Luff has won the toss and put Essex in. Commentary on BBC Sport website and app BBC Sport Bristol


Good in the field and with the ball from @somersetCCC women but oh so disappointing with the bat. Men’s game coming up at 4. Commentary on another needle match on BBC Sport website and app BBC Sport Bristol

Essex win toss and bat. I suspect Somerset would have bowled if they'd won it. Lammonby in for Banton, who's with England. Otherwise unchanged. Essex ditto. Good pitch and fast outfield. Should be a close and high-scoring duel in the sun BBC Sport Bristol

Great stuff from Somerset Cricket bowlers and fielders as Essex reduced from 119/3 to 148. Stunning catches by Thomas Rew and Tom Lammonby and Craig Overton run out of Critchley crucial BBC Sport Bristol

That was just about the perfect T20 performance by Somerset Cricket: top-class bowling, electric fielding and batting which was as intelligent as it was powerful. For the fifth time in a row.....#blackbird!!

Windy at Hove as Somerset Cricket face a tough proposition in the shape of a strong and in-form Sussex team. I expect Somerset to be unchanged but will confirm after toss. Commentary from self and Andrew Raeburn on BBC website from 7


Unchanged Somerset Cricket win toss and bowl. Sussex also unchanged after 2 wins in 2. Game on! BBC Sport Bristol

Another very good win, against a strong Sussex team on their home ground. The bowling was a mixed bag: Craig Overton and Matt Henry excellent, the rest not so much. Then TKC took the run chase by the scruff of the neck with good support from Lammonby and Abell. #blackbird!!


What a win! Epic! If the bowlers won Somerset Cricket's first three T20 games this season, today's must emphatically be chalked up to the batsmen: Dickson and Gregory outstanding, Ben Green at the end not far behind. Bring on the Glosters! #BLACKBIRD

Fine and dry - so far - at Bristol, where unchanged Somerset Cricket win toss and bowl. Pitch looks a good ‘un. Revenge very much on the agenda.



Sunny at CACG for today’s double-header. Durham win toss and bowl v Somerset Cricket women. Top of the table Somerset men take on Kent at 4pm. Commentary on both games on BBC Five Sports Extra and BBC website from 12
