Somerset welcome Kent to Taunton on Friday for the latest round of the Vitality County Championship and a chance to build on the excellent three-wicket win over Essex at the start of May.
From their opening five games, Somerset remain unbeaten, although four of those fixtures did end in draws. They still sit third in the table behind leaders Surrey and Essex, while Kent are third from bottom.
A further date for the cricketing diary is the Women’s One Day International at the Cooper Associates County Ground, England taking on Pakistan on Sunday, May 26 – visit the club website for ticketing options.
Somerset Disabled Cricket Club opened their campaign in the Southwest D40 League with a fine victory over Gloucestershire. Jack Smith and Jacob Lunn held the Somerset innings together but they were still dismissed for 114.
While it felt like a low total, the tricky nature of the pitch was borne out in the Gloucestershire reply, with Cameron Smith and Jack Smith removing their openers. Superb fielding and tight bowling eventually led to a 30-run victory for Somerset.
