Jake Ball to Jimmy Neesham
HAMMERED FOR FOUR! Neesham is the hero of the moment. The stands were buzzing before this, they have now gone silent. Glamorgan do the double over Somerset. On a night where the lights kept going off, the hosts have been spooked by their boogey team. Jake Ball (the bowler) tried to go very full, at the off and middle, in order to forbid the batter from getting under it. Neesham was standing deep in his crease and was able to put it away. The placement was the best part. The ball went scampering away into the gap between long-on and deep midwicket. Craig Overton ran to his right and put in a big desperate dive in the deep. Alas, he could not get to the ball.
Incredible work from Jimmy Neesham. He held his nerve under immense pressure and crunched a boundary off the final ball to take Glamorgan over the line. Scenes of jubilation in the Glamorgan camp as they clinch a thrilling last-ball victory by four wickets in a match that went right down to the wire.

3:05 AM IST, 10:35 PM Local Time: PHEW! A nail-biting contest in Taunton went right down to the final delivery, with Glamorgan holding their nerve in the crunch moments to secure a dramatic four-wicket victory.
Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Somerset recovered strongly from a mid-innings wobble to post an imposing 202/6 in their 20 overs. Openers Tom Banton (39 off 24) and Joshua Thomas (18 off 14) provided a flying start, helping Somerset race to 60/2 at the end of the powerplay. However, they slipped from 76/2 to 83/4, putting the innings in danger of losing momentum.
The recovery came through a superb 90-run partnership between Tom Abell and captain Lewis Gregory. Abell struck a fluent 41 off 28 balls, while Gregory produced a blistering 54 off just 28 deliveries, smashing four sixes and two fours to wrest back control of the innings. Late contributions from Daniel Sams, who remained unbeaten on 24 off 12 balls, ensured Somerset finished with a flourish and crossed the 200-run mark. For Glamorgan, Daniel Douthwaite was the most successful bowler with 2/35, while Ned Leonard and Ben Kellaway chipped in with a wicket apiece.
The second innings got underway after a slight delay caused by a floodlight failure, and Glamorgan made an explosive start to their chase of 203. Captain Kiran Carlson led the charge with a quickfire 29 off 11 balls, helping the visitors race to 29/0 in just two overs before the floodlights failed once again, forcing another interruption.
When play resumed, Glamorgan struggled to regain their momentum. Somerset struck back brilliantly, reducing the visitors from 42/0 to 55/3 inside the powerplay as Carlson, William Smale, and Ben Kellaway all departed in quick succession. At that stage, the chase appeared to be swinging firmly in Somerset's favour.
However, Sean Dickson and Asa Tribe rebuilt the innings with a match-defining 89-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Dickson was the aggressor, hammering 63 off 36 balls, while Tribe played an equally important hand with 48 from 31 deliveries. Their stand transformed the contest and put Glamorgan back on course. Somerset eventually broke through when Daniel Sams dismissed Dickson, and further wickets of Tribe and Douthwaite ensured the game remained finely balanced heading into the closing overs.
With the required rate climbing and wickets falling at crucial moments, Daniel Douthwaite produced a vital cameo of 17 off 9 balls to keep Glamorgan in the hunt. The match went right down to the final delivery, with four runs needed off the last ball. Under immense pressure, Jimmy Neesham held his nerve and smashed a boundary to seal a dramatic four-wicket victory.
Somerset leaked a few too many runs at the death and ended up losing the game from a strong position. Daniel Sams and Jake Ball picked up two wickets each, but were expensive, conceding nearly 100 runs between them in their eight overs. Craig Overton and Joshua Shaw chipped in with a wicket apiece, but Somerset were unable to prevent Glamorgan from crossing the line.

Player of the Match: Sean Dickson
Sean Dickson (Player of the Match) "(His immediate thoughts on the game) I have played in far many of those (nail-biting games). Credit to Somerset. They did what they do best. Put runs on the board. But we all know that it is a high-scoring ground. We said at the halfway mark, that if we bat our best, we can win this.
(Elaboration of discussions during the innings break) We discussed if we can get to 50 (runs needed) off last 4 (overs). Rest, it is about having the confidence to go out and get the deed done.
(The conversations in the dressing room when the lights kept going out?) Lot of chat about who gets the points (if the game is called of now), about DLS, are we ahead, are we behind. Luckily they got it fixed and we had the full game.
(On the journey in the tournament so far) First two games, we did not come out on top. So happy to win a close one (tonight).
(On how is he gelling with his new team) They are a great group of lads. Happy to be a part of it."
