After rain ended play early with Somerset tantalisingly close to getting their fifth bonus point from the match against Northants at Taunton, Coach Kevin Shine told me, "We are twenty six runs away from second place in the County Championship which is a fabulous effort and a wonderful achievement for the club."
The coach went on, "The highlight of the day was Matthew Wood's century. He's worked hard and shown promise through the season, and played with maturity beyond his years. His century bodes well for him and for the club. Well done for him and well done for Somerset."
