Warwickshire vs Somerset, at Taunton, Aug 15 2014 - Points Table

Twenty years ago, Warwickshire won a historic treble. Fresh from a Championship victory against Somerset, it is just possible that 2014 could yet rival 1994 as the finest year in Warwickshire's history

Varun Chopra might easily be vying to replace Sam Robson opening the batting for England but has endured a miserable 2014 in whites. All of which made his first first-class century of the season particularly commendable.

Somerset are a club that holds local talent in particularly high esteem. They do not come much more local than Tom Abell. And On the evidence of his first innings in professional cricket, they do not come much more talented, either.
