The Bears snuff out Somerset's first innings.
Somerset 210 all out. Trego 39 not out.
Mendis, on 28, edges Woakes to Botha at second slip and Willoughby tries to slog his first ball and skies it to Rankin at mid-off.
Somerset need 432 to avoid an innings defeat.
Woakes, 6-85.
Five leg-byes.

Brian Halford - Brian Halfordâs look at Edgbaston.
Grandpa Munster was surely the most under-rated of the Munster family.
7-4 you bears!
5 jam donuts for 50p at Morrisons next door to ground. I was going to save you one but I've eaten one for each wicket we have taken. Reinforcements needed.....
Hi Beatie. Take it easy on those doughnuts! The blog endeth for today here, sadly, due to technical difficulties up here in the little box on the roof.
Lunch -44/8 natives not happy!!!
Bakery in Morrisons on overtime to keep with fall of wickets and donuts!
Biggest win by Warwickshire by an innings margin in history. Beats the previous record of an innings and 340 runs over Worcestershire at Edgbaston in 1920.
The "Foster" Championship season of 1911 saw Warwickshire kick off the season with a heavy defeat at Surrey, so there is one pattern that's not going to be repeated.
Chris Woakes's performance in this match- a ton and nine wickets- was Foster-esque. I wonder how many more times he'll be seen in the colours of the Bears this season? Surely an England call beckons?
No, Napthaniel, that, surely, was Lily Munster.
