Somerset's defeat a fortnight ago by Nottinghamshire toppled them from the top of the League. Today's match is their last of the Sunday League season. The home side, Worcestershire, along with the current champions Lancashire, Leicestershire, and Essex, are also very much in the fight, making this afternoon's match an important one for both sides.

In the warm waters of the Coral Sea a long and bitter battle is waged - the endless struggle for survival.
A new arrival, Man, has recently appeared to affect the age-old balance of Nature. Equipped with aqua-lung and explosive harpoon, and an endless thirst for knowledge, he snares the poisonous sea-snake to discover the secret of its venom; he dynamites the shark that could kill him.
Ben Cropp, the outstanding Australian underwater photographer and director, captures beauty in the frond of coral, action in the excitement of a shark hunt: and he deals with a subject of ever-increasing importance - Man's place in, and destruction of, his environment.
