Noble says "No".

Somerset 232 for 2 (57 overs) Langer 49, Hildreth 61.

The century partnership arrived in 22 overs. Hildreth biffed a full-toss from Botha to the mid-wicket boundary to reach a lovely 50 from 75 balls.

Ambrose is off, Carter is off, Woakes can bowl but has a badly bruised thumb, Langer is batting with a runner after tweaking his back and, breaking news this, Yeovil midfielder David Noble, on loan from Bristol City, has been ruled out of the home game with Hartlepool tomorrow by a knee injury.

Asked yesterday whether he would be fit for Saturday's game, Noble replied: "No."

Anyon has switched ends and is plugging away, curiously around the wicket to Hildreth.

Bears 2nds are rained off for the day at Moseley.
