Anyone else having problems getting the BBC commentary (just audio, not the live stream)?

Not sure what to make of this pitch. JM seemed to struggle to gauge the speed (or lack of).
A decent start. Would think we would be aiming at 275+, perhaps with some late order clubbing !
County Ground looking magnificent today.

Oh dear.
Priceless fielding by Murphy in front of the Somerset stand.
Not content with dropping a pretty straightforward catch from James, he managed somehow to parry it over the boundary for six!
JH now putting along in the 70’s.

Yep.
Not full, but I would estimate around 75% ish.
Glamorgan’s fielding getting worse. Murphy having a nightmare !

Yes, great catch from Max.
Hilly not fielding, hope he is ok.
Animated conversation just now between umpire, Tim G and Tom. No idea what that was all about !

Renshaw is resting so he doesn't get 'overcooked' may be considered from Tuesday - has had a short break but back to training tomorrow

They are all working hard and getting it done.
Excellent fielding performance today. Dogged and focussed bowling performance.... and Hildreth!!

Very clinical, with some outstanding batting and fielding performances in particular. Quite happy that Max plays in these games, but might be happier if he was just a specialist fielder.

Good to see the Glamorgan ‘Batting Consultant’ learned how well Somerset chase a score after three years then.

Absolutely fabulous performance all through the side again. You can really start to feel the momentum building throughout the team. I also heard that Renshaw was just been rested , so the management could have a good look at Banton. Shows what competition there is for places at the moment. Hildy sublime again, and Max was outstanding in the field, even though there were a few more long hops than one would hope for. Never in doubt.

Max's bowling is fine as long as he takes out their players with catches on the boundary like the one only he could have got to.
After all this time I still have no idea what kind of batsman he is. Has there been a significant first team innings by the man?

Superb performance all round.
Hildy was at his best and punished Glamorgan for a bad drop.
Our fielding was superb. Waller and Cove in particular.
Can’t remember an effort like that for a very long time. We simply never looked like dropping catches or giving runs away.
The team look just that. A team.
Great to see.

I caught some of your game on the BBC commentary with Anthony Gibson commentating and it sounded like carnage as Hildreth took de Lange apart. Eight sixes in all! I think outsiders associate him more as a very technically correct and orthodox batsmen. Steve James on the BBC said he thought international recognition had probably passed him by. Sad. He is a class act. A very brutal onslaught from Overton seemed to conclude your innings- I would have picked him for England, he at least is in England unlike others early season.
Looking at last season, it seems that you can't afford to lose more than three games with the Group winners automatically through to the semis.
I prefer this competition to T20, it's proper shortened cricket.
Somerset have made an excellent start to the season with competition for places.
