Rew century leads Somerset to win over Essex

JAMES REW made a century to help Somerset beat Essex by three wickets at Taunton and secure their first Rothesay County Championship Division One win of the new season.

Somerset had resumed on 216 for six, still requiring what looked an unlikely 105 runs.

Rew, though, moved on from his 65 overnight to reach 116 and push the hosts side past 300 before he was trapped lbw by Simon Harmer (four for 120).
