- Warwickshire 367 all out; Somerset 239-5
- Briggs hits quick-fire 53 and takes two wickets
That Warwickshire remain in the hunt for their eighth County Championship and the first since 2012 owes much to the all-round talents of Danny Briggs, a cricketer who joined from Sussex last winter determined to shake off the notion his future lay solely in the white-ball formats.
The 30-year-old looked a shrewd acquisition for a club left with a significant void to fill after Jeetan Patel hung up his spikes. On the second day of the season finale at home against Somerset he emphatically underlined this, carving a 29-ball half-century from No 9 before lunch to secure a precious fourth batting point, and then winkling out two key wickets with his left-arm spin.
