Somerset pre-season friendly truncated

Hampshire's two-day pre-season friendly with Somerset was cut to just a single day, as the saturated state of the Taunton outfield put paid to hope on Sunday.

Both captains agreed that the run-ups were too dangerous to contemplate play on Easter day, but agreed a day of sunshine and a brisk breeze would aid the drying process and allow for a full day on Monday.

A 55-over match between the two sides was arranged with a 10.30am start.
