Somerset 2nds comfortably beaten by West Country rivals
Richard Walsh - 23 June 2001

Facing a massive Gloucestershire first innings total of 603, Somerset resumed on the final morning on 214 for 4, still 89 runs short of making the visitors bat again.

The Cidermen's second string managed to pass the Gloucester total, and batted until mid-afternoon when they were all out for 388, thanks to a last-wicket half-century stand between Joe Tucker and Jamie Grove.

Chasing 86, Gloucestershire reached their target just before five o'clock to gain a six-wicket victory
