Opener Tom Lammonby top-scored with 40, but Somerset lost wickets at regular intervals and were unable to build any sizable partnerships. Soon after, Lammonby chipped Procter to short cover where George Bartlett took a stunning diving catch. Jake Ball crashed Chahal over deep midwicket for a huge six but he was caught behind advancing down the wicket. Procter though drove fluently through midwicket and cover off Shaw, while McSweeney crunched Ball through cover-point. Procter reached 50 with a delicate sweep off Leach before the Steelbacks pressed the accelerator.
