Somerset 534 for 7 (Overton 97*, Van der Merwe 94*, Abell 79) lead Hampshire 338 (Ervine 103, McLaren 61, Leach 6-108) by 196 runsScorecard Craig Overton was left three runs short of a maiden first-class century when play ended four overs early on the third day of the Specsavers County Championship match with Hampshire at Taunton.He faces an anxious overnight wait to see if Somerset captain Chris Rogers declares before he has the chance to achieve the landmark.He said: I honestly dont know what we are going to do. Of course, I would like the chance to bat on, but in the end the team must come first and Ill go with whatever the skipper decides. I was disappointed when we came off, but the umpires had made it clear the previous over that there would not be much more play.Overton and Roelof van der Merwe, who was also seeking his first hundred for Somerset, were unbeaten on 97 and 91 respectively, with their unbroken eighth wicket stand worth 164, and Hampshire were looking at a last day survival mission.Half-centuries from Overton, van der Merwe, Lewis Gregory and Jim Allenby batted Somerset into a strong position. By the close, the hosts had reached 534 for 7 in reply to 338, having begun the day on 257 for 5, and led by 196 for on a pitch still offering turn and occasional bounce for the spinners.After morning drizzle had forced an early lunch, play got underway at 1pm, with Allenby unbeaten on 37. He went on to a 116-ball half century before the second new ball was taken at 291 for 5.Nine runs had been added when Allenby, on 56, looked to pull a leg-side bouncer from Ryan McLaren and either edged or gloved a catch to wicketkeeper Lewis McManus.Gregory and van der Merwe were soon making further inroads into Hampshires first innings total, with Gregory hitting seven fours in moving to a handsome fifty off 79 deliveries.The pair were almost involved in a comical run out with the score on 302, first both racing in one direction and then the other after van der Merwe had called for a quick single. Sadly for Hampshire, the ball was fumbled and they failed to capitalise.It proved costly as Somerset moved on to 370 before Gregory edged a drive to slip off leg-spinner Mason Crane and departed for 61.Overton survived a chance to first slip off David Wainwright early in his innings, but in general the Hampshire spinners lacked the consistency in line and length to profit from the dry surface.There were no more opportunities as van der Merwe reached his half-century off 78 balls, with 2 fours and 2 sixes, and Overton followed from 93 deliveries, with 5 fours and a six.It was van der Merwes best first class score for Somerset and Overtons best of the season. By the time bad light interrupted play at 4.50pm both were batting with consummate ease.A resumption at 5.35pm saw Overton smash Will Smith for 4,4,6,6 in an over that cost the off-spinner 21.Hampshire looked likely to be spared more fireworks when the umpires decided the light was too poor after just three of the 15 overs they had decreed were left in the day.But at 6.10pm the players took the field again, with six overs due to be bowled. When their stand reached 132 Overton and van der Merwe claimed a Somerset record partnership for the eighth wicket against Hampshire, beating the 131 stand of Ernie Robson and Lionel Palairet at Southampton in 1896.The day ended strangely as van der Merwe summoned the 12th man onto the field with four overs to go. As they were talking, the umpires decided no further play would be possible and Overton was left standing with head bowed so close to an important personal milestone.Ted Simmons Jersey .

Edmundo Sosa Cardinals Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.CHASKA, Minn. -- With stakes at the Ryder Cup so high, the players are under plenty of pressure. Danny Willetts focus faltered a bit Wednesday during practice at Hazeltine National Golf Club.This wasnt a case of rookie nerves, though.This was because, well, his brother has a big mouth.Willett was a couple of holes into his round when informed about the online buzz created by the colorful, humorous and crude essay written by his columnist brother , Pete Willett, on the National Club Golfer website that poked fun at the American players and castigated the culture from which their fans have come.It is tough to then concentrate, Danny Willett said, because you dont want people to think badly of yourself.The 28-year-old reigning Masters champion tried his best to move on, as difficult as it was, and apologized for the message that came across from his sibling. Willett praised the American fans who took me under their wing fantastically at Augusta National Golf Club in April.It was tough then to kind of get your head around everything, Willett said in an interview with Golf Channel. You kind of wanted to get off the golf course and hopefully get it sorted, you know, like I said to Pete today, as quick as possible and, like I said, hopefully draw a line under it and get back to what were doing.Europe captain Darren Clarke tried to distance the team from the scathing critique, which couldve been perceived as partially tongue in cheek until Pete Willett posted on Twitter that he meant every word of what hhe wrote.dddddddddddd.I showed it to Danny, and hes bitterly disappointed in his brothers article, Clarke said. It is not what Danny thinks. It is not what I think. It is not what Team Europe stands for.Pete Willett wrote that he hopes Team Europe will silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream `Baba booey until their jelly faces turn red. He also urged the Europeans to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children.Danny Willett sought out American captain Davis Love III to express his regret.He took it very well and I think hes drawn a line under it obviously for himself and for the team, Willett said. So hopefully everyone else can do the same and hopefully we can get on and have a great tournament.Love said he took the advice of notoriously insular New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and ignored the noise about the essay.If I read it, Im just going to get mad. If I read it, Im just going to get defensive, Love said. So I just try to ignore it.The crowd this weekend will of course be fiercely partisan for the Americans, who have lost three Ryder Cups in a row and eight of the last 10 events.If we play well here, and get the fans behind us, then weve got an advantage, Love said. But we have to go do it. ' ' '
