Centurion James Rew and Tom Kohler-Cadmore produced an unbroken second-wicket stand of 207 to put Somerset in control on the third day of the County Championship Division One match with Nottinghamshire at Taunton.<\/b><\/p>\n
Having gained a slender first innings lead of nine runs, the hosts had reached 214-1 by the close and led by 223. <\/p>\n
Rew was unbeaten on 108, having faced 157 balls and hit 13 fours, while Kohler-Cadmore was unbeaten on 94, from 153 deliveries, also with 13 boundaries.<\/p>\n
A major turning point in the game had come in the Notts first innings when Somerset’s young left-arm seamer Alfie Ogborne produced a three-wicket burst in as many overs with the second new ball, reducing the visitors from a comfortable 268-4 to 284-7.<\/p>\n
They were eventually bowled out for 338, Joe Clarke top-scoring with 92, in reply to 347 and could now face a battle to salvage a draw on the final day.<\/p>\n
The morning session was twice interrupted by rain, with eight overs lost to the 101 scheduled. It took Somerset just five balls to break the Notts fourth-wicket stand of 92 between Clarke and Jack Haynes, the latter caught behind for 55 edging Craig Overton.<\/p>\n
After the first short rain break, Kyle Verreynne was dropped on three by Kohler-Cadmore at first slip off Pretorius and by the time the second new ball was taken Notts were looking well placed, just 80 runs behind with six wickets in hand.<\/p>\n
That sense of comfort was destroyed by Ogborne with a fine spell bowling over the wicket from the Marcus Trescothick Pavilion End. The second over with the new ball saw him pin Verreynne lbw for 25 with a delivery that swung in to beat the inside edge.<\/p>\n
A similar, but even better one three balls later ended Clarke’s impressive innings, which had featured 12 fours. Again, it shaped in off a perfect length and bowled him. Suddenly Notts were 269-6.<\/p>\n
It was 274-6 when lunch was taken at 12:50 BST following more rain. But Ogborne was not finished and on the resumption the 22-year-old had Lyndon James caught behind fishing at a ball slanted across him.<\/p>\n
Making only his fourth first class appearance for Somerset, Ogborne would have claimed another victim had Overton not spilled a slip chance offered by Liam Patterson-White on 12.<\/p>\n
The error did not prove expensive as, having added five to his score, Patterson-White was caught behind down the leg side off Pretorius, a decision that clearly surprised him.<\/p>\n
Jake Ball wrapped up the innings by having Rob Lord taken by wicketkeeper Rew for 22 and last man Dillon Pennington caught by Kohler-Cadmore at first slip. Both sides claimed five bonus points.<\/p>\n
Somerset’s second innings started badly when Josh Thomas, having already survived a chance to Patterson-White at first slip off Olly Stone, was trapped lbw on the back foot by Pennington for six. Kohler-Cadmore and Rew took the score to 32-1 at tea as bright sunshine provided the best batting conditions of the match.<\/p>\n
There was still a strong wind. But the Somerset pair flourished in the final session, achieving a century stand off 145 balls. Rew, who makes a habit of scoring big against Notts, reached his second fifty of the game with a reverse swept four off left-arm spinner Patterson-White.<\/p>\n
Kohler-Cadmore followed to a half-century off 81 balls, with eight fours, as both began to accelerate with a final day declaration in mind. Rew took the total past 150 with a sumptuous extra cover driven four off Stone.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old wicketkeeper went to his 12th first-class hundred, an off-driven boundary off Patterson-White taking him to three figures off 147 balls, with 12 fours. Kohler-Cadmore was content to wait until Monday for his century, but had played equally well.<\/p>\n
