Their opening pair, Josh Thomas and Tom Lammonby, are scripting century partnerships that could seal their first-ever County Championship title. With Craig Overton and Jake Ball each claiming three wickets, Somerset’s attack dismantled Leicestershire’s fragile top order, who collapsed to 157 before mounting a valiant but ultimately futile fightback. Leicestershire’s woes are compounded by potential point deductions for a sub-standard pitch, while Somerset’s sixth win would extend their lead in Division One and put pressure on Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire. This isn’t just another chase — it’s their moment to finally lift that trophy after years of near-misses. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
