A visit to the County Ground to view Somerset beating Lancashire by 7 wickets.

Today I was able to visit, for the first time this year, the County Ground in Taunton to watch the end of a rain-interrupted match between Somerset and Lancashire.  The first three days of this County Championship match had been cold, wet and windy - not the best conditions for watching cricket. 

Sun and blue sky over the County Ground at Taunton for the final day's play between Somerset and Lancashire.

However, on the final day, in bright sunshine, Somerset wrapped up the match just after midday.  Craig Overton took the last two remaining Lancashire wickets then Somerset knocked off the runs required: George Bartlett and captain Tom Abell saw them home to a 7 wicket victory.

The end of the match. Tom Abell and George Bartlett see Somerset home to a seven wicket win over Lancashire.
