Somerset Follow-on Against

Taunton, July 29.
Somerset opener Fred Angell took five hours and
40 minutes in putting together 114 against Pakistan here today. It was a dull, laborious innings but the county would have been in a sorry plight without him for only wicketkeeper Harold Stephenson, with a bright 44, offered much alternative resistance.
Angell's hundred, which included 15 fours, was the first century by a Somerset player on a home ground this season. It was also Angell's first three-figure score for the county.
