Lead

Wikilink toss to Toss (cricket) and man of the match to its respective article
- Done. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"to complete a dominating nine wicket victory with more than twenty overs remaining." - not so sure that the word "dominating" is appropriate on this encyclopedia
- Switch to dominant. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Background

"Somerset came into the competition as holders," - wikilink Somerset to Somerset County Cricket Club on the first mention in the prose
- Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ESPNcricinfo needs a wikilink
- Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Route to the final

"and then made their Benson & Hedges Cup score," - am pretty certain the word "highest" is missing from this sentence
- Indeed, added. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Wikilink toss to Toss (cricket) and man of the match to its respective article
- Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"and after keeping Paul Todd on his back foot" - try to reword the text in bold to something more formal
- It's not informal, it's just a technical term. I have wikilinked to an appropriate article. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Hassan was later caught behind playing a reckless shot off" - the word "reckless" sounds somewhat like sports journalism in this instance
- Trimmed. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"neither consistently attacking of defending." - typo; should be spelled as or
- Fixed. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath

Eric Hill should be wikilinked to Eric Hill (cricketer)
- Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"by winning the 1987 NatWest Trophy and the 1989 Benson & Hedges Cup.[13][1]" - refs in numerical order please
- MOS:REF specifically states that "References need not be moved solely to maintain the chronological order of footnotes as they appear in the article.." But it's no biggie, so fixed. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References

I believe Reference 3 is missing the chapter as has been done with the other uses of the Wisden sources
- Added. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Henry Blofeld in Reference 10 should be wikilinked and the same for Eric Hill in Reference 12
- Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Those were the issues I found. On hold. MWright96 (talk) 09:49, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
