  • Somerset's Tom Lammonby scored a classy century to give his side hope of victory going into the last day of the Bob Willis Trophy final against Essex. Lammonby, 20, had yet to make his first-class debut when this competition was conceived, but the batsman has now scored three centuries in as many matches. His vibrant 116 from 151 balls on the fourth day at Lord's means Somerset still have a chance of taking the silverware on day five. But Essex have a crucial advantage as their first innings lead of 36 would be enough to ensure they will walk away with the trophy in the event of a drawn match. Playing conditions dictate first innings scores will be used as a tie-breaker in the event of neither side managing an outright win on Sunday. Essex guaranteed they would be the beneficiaries as they moved past Somerset's mark of 301 in the first half-hour of play. They finished on 337-8 when their innings came to its mandatory conclusion after 120 overs before reducing their opponents to 227-7 at stumps. Lammonby's efforts, which followed unbeaten tons against Gloucestershire and Worcestershire in the group phase, ensured the Taunton-based side head to day five with a 191-run lead and a viable chance. To take it they will need to run through an Essex line-up who owe their present position to Sir Alastair Cook's wonderful 172 in the first innings. Essex started the day on 271-6, still needing another 31 runs to secure the potentially decisive first-innings advantage. It took them just half-an-hour to get them, with Somerset untidy in offering up 14 extras. smg/bsp
