Day One Match Report | Glos v Somerset

20 May 2021

DAY ONE SCORECARD HERE

Just 20.2 overs were possible on the opening day between Gloucestershire and Somerset as spectators returned to Nevil Road and the visitors made 45 for one.

A healthy crowd filed in for the first Championship meeting of the sides in Bristol for the first time since 2007.

But they saw only a little over an hours play before rain set in and play was abandoned around 4.25pm.

What cricket there was saw Somerset make a steady start after losing the toss. Tom Lammonby was the only wicket to fall, run out for 3.

He dabbed leg side and set off for a single that was never there. Sent back, he was run out by a splendid direct hit by Ian Cockbain running to his left from midwicket.

After that, Tom Abell pulled Matt Taylor through midwicket and drove him down the ground for boundaries in reaching 19 not out. 

Eddie Byrom was alongside him, unbeaten on 22, having driven Dan Worrall through mid-off.
