Somerset won by 7 wickets and move into the finals of T20 Blast 2024

Sean Dickson 78(57) | Lewis Gregory 3/15 (4)
Dom Sibley 48(36) | Daniel Worrall 2/15 (4)

A remarkable turnaround from 7/3 inside the third over to chasing down 154 in the 19th over from the defending champions Somerset who march into the finals for the second consecutive time after having won the whole thing last year.

Daniel Worrall made the new ball talk and had Somerset in all sorts of trouble in combination with Tom Curran removing three top-order batters within the first three overs of the run chase. It looked for all money that Surrey were well on their way to a final and a shot at the T20 Blast having last won it way back in 2003 when the competition started.

Two men, though had other ideas. 20-yer old James Rew and the Protean Sean Dickson got together at the crease and started what was a record partnership on the finals day in the competition's history. They weathered the storm early on against the pacers and got their eyes in. As the field opened, the runs started coming much more freely as both the batters started playing freely.

But, the turning point came in the 9th over when Dan Lawrence was hit for 17 in an over and then a couple of overs later leggie Cameron Steel was smoked for 18 as well completely flipping the momentum in Somerset's favor. From there on, it was a cruise for Somerset who got their in the end with 8 balls to spare. Dickson did get out in the 19th over after a 144-run stand but it was too late for anything as skipper Lewis Gregory walked out and quite fittingly hit the winning runs for Somerset.

18.5 Jordan Clark to Lewis Gregory, SOMERSET ARE IN THE FINAL! Full toss on off-stump and above waist height. Gregory backs away and tries to slap it over cover but the pace on the ball makes it deflect off the thick outside edge, over short third man for a maximum! With that, Somerset's title defense stays alive and it's apt that their captain finishes it off.

18.4 Jordan Clark to Lewis Gregory, yorker again on middle-stump. Gregory makes room and knocks it to the cover fielder for no run.

Lewis Gregory, RHB, is the new batter

It is a pity that this partnership has come to an end but it finally has as the 144-run stand is broken and Dickson departs after playing a match winning knock of 78 runs.

18.3 Jordan Clark to Sean Dickson, WICKET! IS THERE SOME LIFE LEFT OR WHAT? Full around off-stump. Dickson tried to smack this over long-off from the crease but did not middle it. It took the top edge and went over the in-field. But it landed in the safe hands of deep point as well.

Sean Dickson c Dan Lawrence b Jordan Clark 78(57b, 8x4, 3x6).

18.2 Jordan Clark to Sean Dickson, Oh! Full and in the block hole around off-stump. The attempted reverse sweep does not connect! No run.

18.1 Jordan Clark to Sean Dickson, over the wicket, full and wide outside off-stump. Stroked to wide mid-off from deep in the crease, no run.

Jordan Clark [3.0-0-28-0] is back into the attack

Somerset are on the brink of back-to-back finals at the T20 blast, the defending champions are certainly going to have a chance of defending their title.

17.6 Chris Jordan to James Rew, FOUR RUNS! Good length ball around off-stump. Stroked neatly over point from the crease on the up and to the right of deep cover point for a boundary!

17.5 Chris Jordan to James Rew, yorker on off-stump. Rew digs it out to the cover fielder from deep in the crease, no run.

17.4 Chris Jordan to James Rew, SIX RUNS! Dug in short on middle-stump. Rew brings out a solid pull shot off the back foot and sends it flat into the crowd over deep mid-wicket!

17.3 Chris Jordan to James Rew, full, wide and on-pace outside off-stump. Rew looked to slice it to point but failed to lay bat on ball.

17.2 Chris Jordan to Sean Dickson, full on middle-stump at 140 kph. Drilled off the toe end of the blade from deep in the crease to wide long-on for a single.

17.1 Chris Jordan to James Rew, short and slightly slow on leg-stump. Pulled away to deep backward square-leg off the back foot for a single.

Tom Curran is done with his day's job as he put up a valiant effort but it would not be enough for Surrey. Somerset need just 15 now!
