By Brian Sanderson,
On a very warm day I picked up Bob Procter and we traveled down to my favourite county ground , Trent Bridge. It was the second day of the Nottingham and Somerset Championship match.
This morning started with Trecothick unbeaten on 117 and Somerset 244 for 3.During the morning Leech was out to Tahir and Trescothick reached 150 getting there in 227 balls with 24 boundaries.Jim Allenby maintained a steady flow of runs from the other end also and reached his 50 soon after lunch from 92 balls.He advanced his score to 63 before been bowled by Patel, hitting across the line.At this time we were sitting next to Northampton supporter who was Kallis fan.
Trecothick brought up his double century off 323 balls with a trademark cover drive of Samit Patel before he was the last man to go, chipping Tahir to cover and Somerset scored 437 -a lead of 36.This innings is my favourite innngs of the season so far.He dominated the bowling in gruelling heat.
Imran Tahir took 7 for 112 and was the first overseas bowler to take five wickets in an innings for 12 years.
A excellent day with watching class batting and bowling from the two T's.
A unusual fact about people who read the blog. It is more popular in Germany than in England at this point.
