Taunton - Somerset v Lancashire

More Rain

A while too since I'd been to Taunton but when you're down in the West Country, why not?

Got there early and had some breakfast in the town centre, which is so close to the ground. You get the feel that the cricket ground, and cricket in general, dominates the town.

An unhelpful steward said I couldn't enter the ground till 10am - a real jobsworth!

The game started on time with Lancashire losing a lot of early wickets. But then it started to rain - surprise, surprise.

So I sat inside the pavilion, had a cup of tea and then dined in the splendid new dining area.

Visited the club shop and had a wander.

Then home up north with no resumption likely.
