Somerset v Northants: Alviro Petersen smashes hosts to win

South African Alviro Petersen hit an unbeaten 64 from 35 balls as Somerset easily chased down Northants' 152-7.

The Steelbacks reached a competitive score largely thanks to David Willey's 47 and Ben Duckett's late 15 not out from six deliveries, including a six and a four from the final two balls.

After losing Marcus Trescothick for a duck, Craig Kieswetter (21) and Peter Trego (41) led Somerset's assault.

But Petersen's fireworks took centre stage, finishing with a 19-run over.

It was Somerset's second victory in the FLt20 Midlands, Wales & West Group, which moves them level on points with Northants, who are second in the table.
