    W
    Henry to Sams
    wide line... and a wonder-catch to win it! Tom Kohler-Cadmore, at backward point, flings out his left hand as Sams slashes towards deep third! It's the perfect shot for the moment, it seems a certain four, but it's the perfect leap for the title! Somerset win the Vitality Blast for the first time since 2005!
    18.2
    0
    Henry to Sams
    back of a length, cracked hard to the off side
    18.1
    6
    Henry to Sams
    slammed through the line! High over long-on, that's outstanding hitting, right in the arc, fearless tonking!
    17.6
    0
    Sodhi to Cook
    head over the ball with a big stride to the legbreak, firm block to the off side.
    17.5
    1
    Sodhi to Sams
    flicked off the pad to deep midwicket. One ball for Cook to see off
    17.4
    6
    Sodhi to Sams
    drops the knee and swats a massive six over midwicket! Ballsy batting from Sams, picked his area, and went for broke, high into the Hollies!
    17.3
    1
    Sodhi to Cook
    open face on the front foot, over to Sams with a single to point
    17.2
    W
    Sodhi to Beard
    tossed-up legbreak, back go the stumps! Lovely teasing bowling, up above the eyeline of the left-hander, who has a wipe through the width outside off, but the ball dips and bites and turns back into his off stump. This is nearly checkmate
    17.1
    2
    Sodhi to Beard
    outside off, clipped hard to deep midwicket, Overton swoops round to limit the damage to two
    16.6
    2
    Gregory to Sams
    Thumps it straight, out of the full length, but can't get a proper connection. Plugs over the head of mid-off, but at least he gets the strike
    16.5
    1
    Gregory to Beard
    tapped to the on-side from under the eyeline, another single
    16.4
    1
    Gregory to Sams
    hauls a cramped pull to deep midwicket. Just the single..
    16.3
    1
    Gregory to Beard
    hard-handed drive to mid-off, Henry gathers well this time in two hands and unleashes a shy. Would have been out!
    16.2
    2
    Gregory to Beard
    tapped to the off-side, Henry fumbles and Beard gets back for the second.... arguably not the worst result for Somerset
    16.1
    0
    Gregory to Beard
    round the wicket, can't get off strike from the back-of-a-length ball, worked to the on-side
    15.6
    1
    Sodhi to Beard
    chopped to the leg-side from outside off, Essex can't decline singles but it means Sams is off-strike. Ideal finish to the over for Somerset
    15.5
    0
    Sodhi to Beard
    wider line, angled across the left-hander, skimming past his back-cut, into the keeper's gloves
    15.4
    0
    Sodhi to Beard
    open-faced, guided to backward point
    15.3
    W
    Sodhi to Snater
    bowled him! Flat-footed from Snater as Sodhi spears in the faster flatter stump-threatener. Straight though his ambitious swish. Bullseye!
    15.2
    1
    Sodhi to Sams
    swings himself off his feet in his eagerness to pull to leg... but they get the single all the same
