Lancashire going very well again, Somerset 150 for 7 in reply to Lancs' 493 for 9 dec. A quirky stat from the game - which only came to my attention because the Somerset keeper was boldly predicting that they couldn't be bowled out twice so I checked to see whether he was still batting - is that the wicket keeper on each side is called Davies and they got each other out in the first innings.

Really enjoyed this series. Thought some of the scenes in the last 10 minutes were slightly far fetched (e.g. the car chase) but I think it will scoop an award or two. The lad who played 'Dot' Cottan was especially good I thought. I've never seen anyone sip water with such menace and arrogance.
