Somerset force St George’s to follow on at tea

Day 2 (tea) 1st innings complete: Somerset 404 St George’s 219
St George’s trail by 185 run
Somerset continued to tighten the noose on a hapless St George’s at Wellington Oval, forcing the challengers to follow on still 185 runs behind Somerset’s 404 run first innings score.

The east enders reached their target largely on the back of Delray Rawlin’s high team score of 78, while Allan Douglas was second high with 35.

Neither contribution was enough to carry St George’s to a position that would make Somerset bat again, as major damage had been done earlier. Night-watchman Brian Hall was dismissed in the morning for 4, while captain Onias Bascome made just a single.

The inning ended as Sinclair Smith parried to extra cover where Dion Stovell simple catch. Somerset immediately ordered the home team to bat again, but not before tea was called early.
