CricketWeb Trial XI B won the toss and elected to bat first on what looked a belter of a track for the batsmen. Somerset struck early, before Lewis and Furball added a quick 120 for the second wicket; Lewis with a fine 66 (68) and Furball with 75 (82). After losing both these wickets in short time, the B's again rallied - a couple of clever partnerships allowing Turb to score 73* (68), suported by Shriram (39 off 35) and his captain Wayne (not out 29) - leaving the B's with an outstanding total of 4/308. Not surprisingly, the bowlers struggled, with all-rounder Ames the only multiple wicket taker.
The A's needed to start strongly and new trialist wicket-keeper Chris Ardley raced to 83 (59) at the top of the order. He struggled to keep a partner initially, until captain JD Hurricane - being touted as a potential #1 draft pick - strode confidently to the centre, and got on top from the outset. The skipper made a magnificent century at better than a run a ball, but could not find sustained support in his middle-lower order and fell disappointingly short of the target. Deen and Narang, whilst expensive, captured 3 wickets each to really take the life out of the chase.
