CLOSE - Worcestershire 14/0

The nightwatcher survives and an exciting first day in Kidderminster comes to an end.

Somerset's bowling in their five overs was a little loose, failing to trouble the batters on a few occasions.

Worcestershire end day one trailing by 295. 

PLAY - Worcestershire 0/0

Lewis Gregory with ball in hand for Somerset, Worcestershire have sent out Adam Finch as a nightwatcher.

DECLARATION - Somerset 309/9

Somerset declare after Shoaib Bashir faces on six balls. 

A sensible decision as now Worcestershire will have five overs to survive on day one

Somerset 309/9

Oh no, Tom Banton knocks one up to Brett D'Oliveira and takes a single.

But he has to run around the bowler meaning he is short of his ground and is run out.

Somerset 305/8

Somerset 268/8

Migael Pretorius makes a rapid 49 from just 34 balls before he is caught behind off Joe Leach.

Jason Holder makes another good catch in the slips.

Somerset 251/7

Migael Pretorius continues his fast start and Somerset have their first batting point.

Somerset 218/7

Kasey Aldridge is trapped in front and given out LBW to Waite bringing Migael Pretorius to the crease.

Pretorius hits two balls for four in the over after an aggressive start from the South African.

Somerset 200/6

200 up and Tom Banton has 50! 

91 balls and 9 fours, Banton has waited and bided his time really well in this innings so far.

Somerset 181/6

Somerset lose three quick wickets before the break meaning the second session in the match belongs to Worcestershire. 

Jason Holder with all three scalps. A much improved session for the home side.
