Tom Lammonby fell five short of a century as Somerset cemented their advantage on the second day of the County Championship match with Glamorgan.
The home side extended their first innings score from an overnight 92 without loss to 441 all out, Lammonby's 95 coming off 173 balls, while Josh Thomas contributed 59, James Rew 52 and Archie Vaughan a season's best 68. That meant a first innings lead of 247, despite Mason Crane's 4-95.
Glamorgan were left with six overs in the day to launch their second innings and closed on 30-1, Crane caught at silly point off the last ball of the day, bowled by Jack Leach.
Unbeaten on 46 overnight, Thomas moved to an attractive 86-ball fifty with 9 fours. He had helped Lammonby take the opening stand to 114 when chasing a very wide ball from Mir Hamza and edging to wicketkeeper Chris Cooke.
Lammonby, 37 not out at the start, played with restraint to reach a 99-ball half-century and shared a second-wicket stand of 30 with Lewis Goldsworthy, who had faced 45 balls for his 11 when caught at square leg off Crane. Ten more runs were added before lunch, which was taken at 164-2, with Lammonby unbeaten on 73.
The left-hander batted positively in the afternoon session to move into the nineties before losing concentration. Twice he was caught behind off Dan Douthwaite no-balls before the seamer had him caught and bowled advancing down the pitch to drive.
Crane had Henry Nicholls caught at slip edging an attempted sweep and at 212-4, Rew and Tom Abell were obliged to be cautious.
Rew brought up 250 with a boundary off Connor O'Riordan. When Abell pulled a four off O'Riordan to move to 27, it meant he has scored 25 or more in 18 consecutive Championship innings.
By tea, the pair had shared a 76-run partnership, taking the score to 288-4, a lead of 94. The second new ball was due and Glamorgan took it immediately play resumed.
Rew responded with a boundary off Timm van der Gugten, which resulted in the ball being changed in only the fourth over with it. Rew then promptly deposited the next new one to deep square for three to bring up a 78-ball fifty.
