But Kohler-Cadmore hit an unbeaten 147, off 196 balls, with 11 fours and six sixes, sharing stands of 96 with James Rew and 114 with Tom Abell, to see Somerset to 238-4 by the time the players shook spinner Liam Patterson-White bowled 29 overs unchanged from the River End either side of lunch and finished with 4-104 from 33 overs, but no other Notts bowler could make a significant impression with the Kookaburra ball on a pitch offering only occasional turn and no assistance for the home side set out at 4-1f but it was soon 18-2 as Sean Dickson was rapped on the back pad by a ball from Patterson-White that turned and departed lbw for was to follow for Somerset when Tom Lammonby, on seven, pulled a short ball from Patterson-White and picked out the only fielder on the leg side, Farhan Ahmed at deep went on the counter-attack, launching three big sixes back over the head of off-spinner Ahmed, the last pitching on top of the Marcus Trescothick the most impressive aspect of the former Yorkshire player's innings was the respect he showed the other bowlers having spread the field, content to pick up ones and twos as he and Rew laid the first foundations for avoiding Rew was equally intelligent in his shot selection, nullifying the effect of Patterson-White, who displayed the same control of line and length that his Somerset counterpart Jack Leach had shown on day lunch the scoreboard read 112-3 and the Notts lead was down to 18 runs. Patterson-White had bowled throughout the morning, sending down 15 overs for 46 runs and two wickets. Somerset could feel some relief, but there was still work to be done, especially when Rew fell for 43 early in the afternoon session, top-edging a sweep off Patterson-White to Joe Clarke at short fine took his place and batted through the rest of the session with Kohler-Cadmore, who blasted his fourth six over wide long-on off Patterson-White and then clipped a four through the leg side off Ahmed to reach a fine hundred off 138 was Kohler-Cadmore's third Championship century since joining the county in 2023, two of them coming in the last two matches. Cloudless skies did not aid the Notts bowlers and by tea, with the Somerset total advanced to 197-4, the draw looked final session saw Kohler-Cadmore strike another straight six, this time onto the roof of the Lord Ian Botham Stand off Patterson-White, before moving past his previous best Somerset score of then the outcome was all but settled. Abell had contributed just 21 when his stand with Kohler-Cadmore reached the century mark, but it was a typically solid knock that extinguished any lingering notions of a Notts Notts wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan entered the attack to bowl what proved the last over of the game it was a tame end to an often compelling Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

Kohler-Cadmore hits ton as Somerset dominate Bears

Rothesay County Championship Division One, Edgbaston (day one)Somerset 327-3: Kohler-Cadmore 104, Lammonby 75*, Davey 64; Simmons 2-61Warwickshire: Yet to batSomerset 2pts, Warwickshire 1ptMatch scorecard Tom Kohler-Cadmore struck his 12th first-class century as Somerset laid the platform for an imposing total against Warwickshire in the County Championship at chose to bat on a pitch offering bowlers no help and closed the opening day on 327-3. Opening pair Kohler-Cadmore (104 from 138 balls) and Josh Davey (64) added 186 and Tom Lammonby followed them with an unbeaten was a gruelling day in the field for a Warwickshire side without Chris Rushworth due to a tweaked hamstring, and including Australian spinner Cory Rocchiccioli, on his debut at the start of a short-term contract. Somerset's decision to bat proved fruitful and their decision to promote Davey to open was also emphatically vindicated as he and Kohler-Cadmore eased to 100 in the 24th over. Davey offered Jacob Bethell a bracing reintroduction to county cricket after being released by England when he lifted the spinner's third ball straight for six. Bethell, brought on early and ahead of overseas specialist Rocchiccioli, went for 23 in his first two exploited the benign pitch to reach 50 from 67 balls and advance to 100 in 128, reaching three figures with his 16th four, pulled off Che young seamer soon gained his revenge, however, when he removed both openers in six a sixth first-class half-century banked and a career-best (75) beckoning, hoisted a short leg-side delivery to long leg. Kohler-Cadmore gloved a pull to wicketkeeper Kai Smith. Somerset's record opening stand against Warwickshire, in peril while the batters chugged comfortably along, remains the 223 by Jimmy Cook and Peter Roebuck at Taunton in had a glimmer of opportunity with two new batters at the crease, but Lammonby and James Rew played responsibly to reassert their side's control with a stand of 68 in 26 overs. Rew (38) departed livid at himself for lifting a wide, slower ball from Olly Hannon-Dalby to point but Lammonby pulled Simmons for four to post a 93-ball half-century and, with Tom Abell, prevented further bowlers persevered nobly to keep the scoring slow in the last hour of what was a tough baptism on an unresponsive track for Rocchiccioli. He finished the day with 0-68, but bowled well enough and can take solace from the fact that fellow spinners Eric Hollies and Jeetan Patel also suffered on their Warwickshire debut at Edgbaston (1-150 against Sussex in 1932 and Yorkshire in 2009 respectively) and they didn't do too badly in the long run: 3,743 wickets.
