Despite an unbeaten start and a strong batting line-up, Somerset do not have any players in the list of top 20 Championship run scorers this season. Durham have two – Michael Richardson has scored 370 runs at an average of over 50, and Keaton Jennings has also contributed 272 runs, which has included three half-centuries.
Team News:
Head Coach Jon Lewis is without the injured Graham Onions for this game after the seam bowler injured his back in the draw at Sussex. Scan results were positive though, and the 31 year old’s absence isn’t expected to be long term. Jamie Harrison has recovered from a foot problem and returns to the squad, whilst Ben Stokes played for the academy side over the weekend but won’t feature against Somerset.
