Lammonby century keeps Somerset hopes alive against Surrey

Tom Lammonby scored his first County Championship century of the season as Somerset reached 222 for three against Surrey at Taunton. The left-hander remained unbeaten on 103 off 217 balls while Tom Abell contributed an unbeaten 63.

Abell became only the third Division One batter to pass 1,000 runs this season. Somerset trail Surrey by 200 runs after the visitors extended their first innings to 422 all out with Dan Lawrence scoring 139.

Somerset's title hopes appear over with Warwickshire well placed to secure the draw they need against Leicestershire. Surrey's attack was weakened by the absence of Rahul Chahar due to a back problem and Dan Lawrence who was called up by England.
