Despite Ollie Robinson's 52 and a half-century stand for the last wicket, the home side were dismissed for 253 in their first innings in a match between teams who possess identical records and are currently separated by a handful of bonus points in the table.

Having accounted for three toporder batsmen, Henry returned figures of four for 60 but Somerset were 63 for three in reply at the close with the wicket of Tom Lammonby falling to Championship debutant Killeen for 24 just seven balls before the close.
