- Surrey on top against Sussex
- Carlson 209 for Glamorgan
- Yorkshire fighting back
The weather turned and the rains came, but there was still lots of play across the country in the County Championship Division One. Somerset v Yorkshire looks to be a cracking game, so let’s start there.
Somerset v Yorkshire
Rain put a premature end to proceedings at Taunton, with Yorkshire fighting back. Somerset started the day on 201-3, a lead of 39, and looking to build a nice lead. However, Yorkshire had other ideas. Josh Thomas didn’t add to his overnight total of 136, and Tom Abell only added nine to get his 50.
Somerset lost their last seven wickets for 73 runs, as they were bowled out for 274, just before lunch. Jack White took 4-41 as the pick of the bowlers, with Matthew Revis taking 2-36. However only 4.3 overs were bowled after lunch as the forecasted rain came in, and play was called for the day at 4:45 with Yorkshire trailing by 99 runs on 13-0.

Surrey v Sussex
The rains came at the Oval as well, as Sussex were put to the sword a little by Surrey. Surrey began the day on 19-0, chasing down Sussex’s 358-9dec. Rory Burns (77) and Dom Sibley (116*) put on 148 for the first wicket, then Sibley and Ryan Patel (67) put on 109 for the second wicket, as Surrey ended the day on 292-2.
There’s not much to say about Sussex’s bowling. Henry Crocombe took 1-49 and Jack Carson took 1-55, as the only wicket takers, but will rue two dropped catches, firstly with Patel on 11 and the second one was with Ollie Pope on 11.
