After a delayed begin following morning mizzle, Warwickshire had been put in by Somerset – and openers Rob Yates and Alex Davies had been untroubled in sharing a 50 paertnership.
However, within the penultimate over earlier than lunch, in his fourth over, Kasey Aldridge had Davies caught behind to a rash shot for 27.
Wickets then tumbled all through the afternoon session for the Bears as Durham-bound former skipper Will Rhodes (22) and Hamza Shaikh, slicing to backward level, each departed.
Then Davey eliminated Yates, to a careless waft outdoors off stump, and the in-form Ed Barnard for a duck, in successive overs simply earlier than tea.
However, from then on, because the solar shone, so did the Bears as Bethell and Burgess brightened the Birmingham gloom.
