sunny cricket day at taunton…

I had a lovely cricket day in Taunton today (my second Championship game in a week!). 
Somerset were playing Essex; won the toss and, surprisingly for many of us, elected to put Essex into bat. It proved to be a pretty decent decision – Essex were bowled out for 206 (although, at one stage, they were 136-7!) and Somerset were 9-1 at the close. 
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the masterly bowling of Jack Leach – who ended with figures of 3 for 35 in 30 overs.
Perfect weather. A couple of beers and excellent cricket.
