The first bottle has been opened and has been revealed to be
Ramos Pinto 1995 LBV, bottled in 1999.
Somerset have won the toss; Trescothick and Kieswetter are opening the batting; Matt Spriegel the bowling.

Somerset are now 57 for 3.
The second bottle has been revealed as
Martinez 1985; selected as a port likely to provide enjoyable drinking that does not distract from the play.

Rain has interrupted play, but port supplies are adequate for the moment.
