    Somerset 152 v Middlesex 114-6 (16 overs)

    Somerset get the win by five runs on the DLS method as the rain denies us a finish by natural means.

    Steven Croft continues his late assault by pulling Fisher for six over mid-wicket and then clears the rope at extra cover.

    Croft is 37 not out, Rob Jones has 43 and these two have added 70 since the downfall of Keaton Jennings.
