Day Two

Morning: Resuming on 14-0 early on Monday, Daryl Mitchell opted for an aggressive approach until a very questionable LBW decision from the umpire ended his knock for 31. Progress slowed from there, but Jake Libby and Tom Fell looked good despite riding their luck now and then, and Worcestershire went in for lunch on a promising 98-1.

Afternoon: Jake Libby brought up his half-century under louring skies, and as rain forced an extended break and an early tea, the Pears sat comfortably on 121-1.

Evening: But after a lengthy delay, facing one of the best bowling attacks in the country in adverse conditions, there was always a strong possibility of a collapse, which proved to be the case as nine wickets fell for just 77 runs, leaving the hosts 200 all out. In the time remaining before bad light forced an early close, Joe Leach bowled Ben Green through the gate for a duck, and Somerset reached stumps on 16-1.
