Alsop fails to stump Sibley. Tough chance though for a part-time keeper.

Well done Fidel, five for.

Well done Fidel, five for.

Three matches in a row. In what may or may not be his last match for us.

[budgetmeansbudget]

5/1, I haven't got a good feeling about this.

[st_brendy]

Very poor decision to give Alsop out for me. Pitched outside leg stump - to the extent that it possibly hit him outside leg stump too.

And we didn't get a single lbw in Warwickshire's innings.

[st_brendy]

Only taken five overs to see that there's little chance of this finishing a draw, annoyingly. New ball is moving left and right, and up and down. Adams hit on the hand twice already.

Forget 350.

Forget drawing the game.

This pitch is not going to the allow the game to go deep.

Our only chance of survival is to win this match (or a Somerset points deduction). Suddenly, I make us favourites over Middlesex for relegation.

[budgetmeansbudget]

It's Essex all over again, we let them get way too many in their second innings, just like we let Warwickshire get way too many in their first innings, and then our pathetic batting lineup just capitulates.

[st_brendy]

Another poor decision for me. And I honestly don't think I'm being biased. That was going down for me.

We are diving head first into D2 right now.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Have to get through the new ball for no more than three down hopefully.

Sadly with Crane in the side our lower order is weaker.

Can't see Ervine lasting long.

[budgetmeansbudget]

I guess we should be in div two right now anyway.

The umpires have probably been guided to make sure we go down this year.

[budgetmeansbudget]

What odds we'll be 5 down for not alot at stumps!

Very short!

More likely all out!

[budgetmeansbudget]

I can't see us chasing more than 120 in the fourth innings so we have to at least get to 220+ in this one to stand any chance.

Maybe the rain scheduled for throughout Wednesday night might soak the outfield again, leading to no play on Thursday.

Although at this rate, the game could be over by close of play tomorrow.
