Craig Kieswetter

         
  A combination of bad light and rain delayed the start, with the players taking an early lunch before eventually getting underway at 13:40 BST.Kieswetter joined Trescothick at the crease and the pair settled a few Somerset nerves before the latter was clean bowled by Ben Stokes, bringing in James Hildreth ahead of a finely-poised last day.From the fourth ball, Mustard was run out by Jamie Overton and the final wicket of Rushworth fell just six overs later.The hosts resumed on 92-8 but Phil Mustard was run out for 25 and Alfonso Thomas (4-29) removed Chris Rushworth as they were all out for 116 to leave the visitors needing 235 for victory.Given the flurry of wickets in the previous two days, the victory target of 235 looked a daunting one, especially when Graham Onions trapped Suppiah in front in the sixth over.
