HIGHLIGHTS: Overton scores career-best 141 as Somerset stay on top

Описание: Craig Overton put Somerset in a dominant position against Essex at Chelmsford with the highest score of an illustrious first-class career built largely on his skills with the ball rather than the bat.

The stand-in captain walked out on Friday evening with Somerset creaking at 114-5, still 35 runs behind Essex’s first innings, but had more than doubled the score in three-and-a-half hours at the crease by the time he was out for 141 in mid-afternoon. In partnerships of 98 with Lewis Goldsworthy and 118 with Will Smeed, Overton helped Somerset establish a 199-run lead.
