Commentary

Somerset win by 8 wickets and 63 runs balls to spare!

Tom Banton - 40 (24) | Craig Overton - 3/8
Ross Whiteley - 18 (23) | Nathan Ellis - 1/15

Supreme, spotless, and rather seamless way to get the two points for Somerset as they begin their campaign with a win. After losing the semi-finals last year, the hosts had revenge on their minds in this game, and boy, didn't they get that? It was the bowlers who laid down the marker for them in the first innings, bundling out the defending champions for a misery total.

The run chase was fairly straighforward. After a sedate start, Tom Banton blitzed his way to 40 to motor along in this chase, even after losing Will Smeed he kept going from one end and wanted to finish things off in a hurry. Well, he couldn't quite do that but did most of the work anyway. It was another Tom, Kohler-Cadmore, who added the finishing touches to wrap things up with Tom Abell.

It was an utterly dominant display from the Somerset bowlers, getting enough help with the new ball and making the most of it. As for Hampshire, it's all about dusting themselves off and moving forward in the tournament, because there's still a long way to go. Not the usual excitement of a Blast game tonight, but there was quality cricket for most parts to keep us entertained.

9.3 Mason Crane to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, GAME.SET.MATCH! It's a stunning start to the campaign for Somerset as they completely pinned the Hawks down. Slower through the air angling on leg-stump, Cadmore works it wide of short fine leg and gets a single

Scores are level

9.2 Mason Crane to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR! Brute power from Cadmore. Fuller delivery around off-stump and it's been slammed wide of long-off and the ball beats the diving long-off fielder to his right comfortably

9.1 Mason Crane to Tom Abell, works the length delivery towards deep mid-wicket and takes a run

Mason Crane, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack

Somerset need only 6 runs from 66 balls. Can Tom Kohler-Cadmore finish things off in style?

8.5 Scott Currie to Tom Abell, good length outside off-stump, Abell steers it wide of backward point and gets a brace

8.4 Scott Currie to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, slow delivery on a good length, Cadmore pulls it powerfully and the fielder at wide long-on collects it on the bounce

8.3 Scott Currie to Tom Abell, good length on off-stump, Abell dabs it to backward point. Cadmore wants a single and there is a slight hesitation but he makes it to the crease. The fielder couldn't collect the ball to inflict the run-out

8.2 Scott Currie to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, short of a length and it's been pulled towards long-on. One run

8.1 Scott Currie to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, short and wide of off-stump, Cadmore slaps it towards sweeper cover. The fielder fumbles and they take a couple

Another over ticks by and Somerset can be delighted with how they've done tonight, getting their revenge from the semi-finals last year. They have been dominant in all three departments in this game.
