Middlesex
Tom Helm and Nathan Sowter are must-picks for your fantasy eleven for this game, as they have 12 and 15 wickets respectively this season. English conditions are perfectly suited for such swing bowling and you can expect them to keep up the wicket-taking. Ireland’s Tim Murtagh could also be an option, picking up 3/24 in Middlesex’s last outing.
With the bat, they have only one batsman to have crossed 200 runs this season and that is Stevie Eskinazi who has scored 211 runs in 5 games, a majority of which can in that one century he scored. A more consistent choice comes in Nick Gubbins who has 188 runs but 2 fifties in his 4 inning so far. Ross Taylor came in for Eoin Morgan who had a sore shin and the former scored 64 on debut. He’s my captain today.
Somerset
These guys have a strong top order comprising of Azhar Ali, James Hildreth and Peter Trego, who has 236, 216 and 196 runs respectively this season. Get past them and there are all-rounders like Roelof van der Merwe and Craig Overton. Overton began this season beautifully with a couple of fifties and plenty of wickets, and he has only been dismissed once in 5 innings. He is my vice-captain for this game.
Scotland’s Josh Davey has 8 wickets this season and is also a good option given his ability to swing the ball at the start of the game. 14, 7, 1, 11 – these are Tom Banton’s last four scores for Somerset but he is still your best bet for a wicket-keeper today and remember, before these small innings was a fantastic 107 against Kent.
