Johnson reaches 50 wickets against Surrey

Somerset fast bowler Richard Johnson took his 50th wicket of the season as the Championship match at Taunton against Surrey ended in a draw.

Minutes after the game ended Somerset coach Kevin Shine: "It was always hard work out there on a flat pitch, but the boys stuck well to their task. We now have another bowler who has taken fifty wickets, and many congratulations to, hopefully both 'Johnno' and Steffan will now get the recognition that they deserve."

He went on: "We are now four points clear in second place, with two championship matches to play, away at Essex and our last match of the season at home to Northants.We are excited at the prospect of Andy Caddick being available for either or both of those games. If he doesn't play then we'll just have to get on without him."
