Woakes, Hildreth and Wraysford.

Somerset 112 for 3 (44 overs). De Bruyn 11, Hildreth 28.

Clarke's excellent spell has ended and Rankin has replaced him but with radar slightly awry.

Woakes continues to bowl lucklessly.

Hildreth scored 400 runs for once out in the championship against Warwickshire last season and another 131 against them at Taunton the other week.

It's very hot. There is a breeze but it's warm.

A stultifyingly warm day. Redolent of that scene in the park in the early chapters of Birdsong where everything reminds Stephen Wraysford of decay.
