 Facing Hampshire in Southampton for the third match , Somerset won the toss and opted to bat first . The pitch was soft , due to the heavy rainfall through the morning , and play started shortly after midday . Sainsbury was yet again one of few Somerset players to reach double figures , and they were bowled out for 101 . Cecil Currie , a spin bowler for Hampshire , collected eight of the wickets . Somerset managed to restrict Hampshire 's lead to 46 runs ; Francis Reed took four wickets , and Fothergill three . Fowler and Fothergill were Somerset 's most successful batsmen in their second innings , played mostly in light rain , helping the county to reach 118 runs . That left Hampshire requiring 73 runs to win , which the hosts achieved without losing any wickets , to beat Somerset with ten wickets to spare .
