Somerset vs. Kent County Championship match abandoned on second day at Taunton

Rain Hampers Somerset vs Kent County Championship Clash

The highly anticipated County Championship Division One match between Somerset and Kent at Taunton faced a major setback as rain played spoilsport on the second day of play.

With heavy overnight and morning showers drenching the outfield, hopes of any cricket action were quickly dashed. Umpires Martin Saggers and Tom Lungley had no choice but to abandon play for the entire day due to the saturated conditions.

Somerset, who were in a strong position at stumps on Day 1 with their first innings score at 214-2, featuring an unbeaten knock of 70 from Lewis Goldsworthy, will feel frustrated by the lack of play.

However, it is Kent who are left particularly disappointed as they desperately needed points in order to avoid relegation. The weather delay adds further uncertainty to their battle against demotion.
