After seeing his side end the day on 291 for 6 at Taunton Somerset Coach Kevin Shine told me: "It was a good end to the day for us. 'Dutchy' and 'Noddy' played very well for us."

When asked about the innings of 'keeper Rob Turner, who returned to form to end the day on 71 not out he said: "Rob is getting back to where he was two years ago. He's decided to keep it as simple as possible,and as the old saying goes -'if it isn't broke why fix it'. Today he kept it simple and it worked."
