Somerset are poised to finish second again – and after 136 years it still hurts
County Championship is treated like sporting Victoriana by the authorities but it’s some of the hardest cricket around and still means plenty – especially in Taunton
Every English cricket season starts with an Indian spring now but they say this one will end in an Indian summer too. The forecast is warm and dry and this, at least, is one last late blessing for the County Championship.
Warwickshire, 11 points clear at the top, host a dejected Leicestershire at Edgbaston.

Suksessen fortsetter for det 13 år gamle kinesiske vidunderbarnet Yu Zidi i Asialekene.
Tenåringsjenta tok sitt tredje svømme-gull da hun vant 400 meter medley i Nagoya i Japan onsdag.
Vinnertiden på 4.28,56 var under fem sekunder fra verdensrekorden til Canadas Summer McIntosh på 4.23,65.
Yu Zidi, som fyller 14 i oktober, har tidligere vunnet både 200 meter fri og 200 meter medley i lekene.
I fjor ble Yu Zidi den yngste noensinne til å ta en medalje i et VM i svømming. Da var hun med på Kinas lag som tok bronse på 4 x 200 meter fri.
Deltakelsen og den utrolige utviklingen til 13-åringen har skapt debatt. Hvordan vil de omfattende treningsmengdene i ung alder påvirke henne både fysisk og psykisk?
Uansett: Hvis 13-åringen fra Kina fortsetter slik som hun har gjort i Japan i de kommende årene, blir hun en sterk medaljekandidat i OL i Los Angeles i 2028.
