90 n.o.
Somerset is 507 ahead and Rogers is the captain.
It's only day 3 so, probably less pressure on him to declare.
You'd reckon he'd declare if/when he reaches his ton.

Chris Rogers has announced his retirement from first-class cricket following Somerset's final County Championship match.
Rogers, 39, made twin hundreds in the match which Somerset won by 325 runs to sit top of the table heading into the final day of the season. If Yorkshire or Middlesex fail to win at Lord's, Somerset will lift their first Championship title.
"That's it for me," he said. "I have had a good career and to finish off that way is pretty special. I'm getting old. I am going to miss playing and the standing ovation from the crowd was very special, but it happens in all careers and it's time to move on.
"My overriding feeling is one of immense pride in my team. We were favourites to go down at the start of the season and look where we are now.
