5.30pm: Absolute #scenes at Taunton, Somerset's players cheered to the rafters as they walk from the field. Surrey were 95 for 3 less than 20 overs ago, but the dismissals of Ben Foakes and Dom Sibley triggered a collapse. Somerset, remember, have never won the County Championship in their history... and now they are front and centre as the main contenders to stop a Surrey three-peat. Anyway, thanks for joining us on pop-up comms, we'll be back when you least expect it. Bye!

Leach to Worrall, OUT, pins him on the front pad - giveeeeennnnnnnn! Leach gets two in three balls and Somerset have knocked over the reigning champions with minutes to go. Worrall pushed forward more in hope that judgement and was beaten on the inside edge, as Surrey's attempts to block out the final day fail in dramatic fashion

"When does the pitch inspector visit? 27 of 38 wickets to spin? Not a fair surface." Well, Mark, given we're deep into the final hour with the result uncertain, I can't see any valid complaints on that front
