Always remember where I come from! #Village #TiddSmoke

To be able to call Somerset Cricket 🏆 home on a glorious Spring evening, with Annie Chave at my side, is cricket commentary heaven. And against Essex too. Never in doubt? There were moments, but we got there in the end. This win might just have set up the Championship season.

Best session of the season so far: Essex 45/6, Somerset Cricket 🏆 45/0! BBC Sport Bristol

So far, so good! BBC Sport Bristol

167 to win. Game on!

Not Somerset Cricket 🏆’s best morning. Too many four-balls, releasing the pressure. Must do better to restrict Essex to a gettable lead on a still lively pitch BBC Sport Bristol

The closed pavilion. A burst pipe has rendered the Colin Atkinson Pav uninhabitable. Members have been relocated to the 1875, which may be a bit crowded!

A view of the Blackdowns for a change. Big day ahead for ⁦Somerset Cricket 🏆⁩’s season. Key question: will this pitch flatten out, as per Notts, or will it continue to nip around? Join us on ⁦BBC Sport⁩ website from 11 to find out ⁦BBC Sport Bristol⁩

I've a horrible feeling that in getting bowled out for 128, Somerset Cricket 🏆 may have missed the chance of a first win of 2024. Pretorius reckons that this pitch won't flatten out like the Notts one. If so, we're not far behind. But we'll need both to bat and bowl better than so far

Good from Somerset Cricket 🏆 to bowl Essex out for 156, all of their seamers contributing on a helpful pitch. How good? That we'll discover when Somerset come out to bat in a few minutes' time. Josh Davey's hamstring is a worry for later in the game.BBC Sport Bristol #bbccricket

All set at the CACG. Cloudy but dry. ⁦Somerset Cricket 🏆⁩ win toss and bowl on greenish pitch. No Bashir or Aldridge, which seems a shame. Commentary on ⁦BBC Sport⁩ website and app from 11 ⁦BBC Sport Bristol⁩ ⁦BBC Somerset⁩

So a draw it was. Jake Ball did his job well, followed by Tom Lammonby (again - what a season he's having), and the impressive Andrew Umeed, both displaying great concentration and considerable style. J Kerr pulled his punches re the bowling, but we didnt half miss Craig Overton

Fine but very windy at Kidderminster, where ⁦⁦Somerset Cricket 🏆⁩ OUGHT to be able to bat through the day on a flat pitch. Whether they will is another matter altogether. Join us from 11 on ⁦BBC Sport⁩ website and app to find out

Frustrating day for Somerset Cricket 🏆, leaving nothing but the draw to play for and picking up only 2 bowling pts. Bash showed what a fine bowler he’s becoming but seamers failed to build pressure. The coaches have plenty to work on! BBC Sport Bristol

I bring good news! 12.10 start, lunch at 1.30. Join us for commentary on Somerset Cricket 🏆 v Worcs on the BBC Sport website and app from the start BBC Sport Bristol BBC Somerset #bbccricket
