James Rew at four held the innings nicely and raced past his fifty. Gloucestershire had no answer to James Rew's onslaught as he kept finding regular boundaries, despite losing partners at the other end.

It opened the gate for Somerset as they stormed into the contest. Joseph Phillips (6), Miles Hammond (23), skipper Jack Taylor (3) and Liam Scott (22) were sent packing in a quick succession.
Kamran Dhariwal kept Gloucestershire in the hunt. He fought hard and scored a 20-ball 38 before departing on the final ball of the penultimate over. Gloucestershire finished their innings on 176/7 as they fell short by 18 runs. For Somerset, Riley Meredith bowled a lethal spell and registered figures of 3/30 which helped them defend the total successfully and get back to winning ways.
