The Blaze v Somerset in the Women's Vitality Blast today If Somerset win, Somerset would be through with a win on Sunday If Somerset lose, they are out and Blaze would be through If it's a tie, Somerset would need to win on Sunday and hope Blaze lose 1/2

Taking off my Somerset hat, it's unfair and wrong that the last round of women's and men's Blast matches have varying start times It gives the teams that play later an advantage as they'll know what net run rate they need to aim for, if any (and whether a tie would be fine) 1/5

This season's Men's Blast crossover matches are complete! Somerset beating Derbyshire tonight makes it an incredible 11 crossover wins in 12 matches for Central & West Group teams North Group teams won 4 of 12 South Group teams won 3 of 12

Northants beating Glamorgan tonight is a great result for Somerset Winning both our remaining games will hopefully be enough to go through, but it may depend on our net run rate, which is currently decent and better than Worcs and Glamorgan, but that can change quickly

A fantastic win for Somerset, that's now 3 wins in 4 since the mid-Blast break A great start from Smeed and T Rew, shame that Smeed still hasn't got his first T20 century for us! Nice to see TKC find form Donald gave us a major scare but once he was out, Derbyshire's... 1/2

Hampshire beating The Blaze is a great result for Somerset It means winning our last two matches would guarantee a place at Women's Blast finals day, regardless of other results

Somerset choose to bat first in an away T20 for the first time since 16 July 2021, which was against Glamorgan at Cardiff It makes sense as the last 6 T20s at Derby were won by the side that batted first In 5 of those 6, the team batting first scored 200+

In tonight's other Blast matches... A Northants win over Glamorgan in the men's Blast would be very useful for Somerset A Hampshire win over The Blaze in the women's Blast would be huge for Somerset, as it would mean that winning our remaining two games, the first of... 1/4

Stats and facts ahead of Derbyshire v Somerset at Derby in the men's Blast today The sides have met once before in T20 cricket - the 2022 QF at Taunton which Somerset won by 191 runs, which remains the record Blast win by runs 1/7

Derbyshire v Somerset at Derby today is the last of the 18 crossover matches in this year's men's Blast The match will be Somerset's first in T20 cricket at Derby There are two other county grounds at which Somerset have not played a T20 - Headingley and Chester-le-Street 1/3

What a win for Somerset! Absolutely incredible effort from Niamh Holland, 92* off 52 balls - she is becoming a seriously good player Huge pressure on her after early wickets, but she judged the situation beautifully and played so calmly We are still alive in the Blast!

T20 high score for Niamh Holland, passing 75 v Yorkshire at Scarborough a few weeks ago

Unlikely, but if Somerset chase Essex's 177 in 16 overs we'd earn a valuable bonus point

Good effort from Somerset in the last 8 overs to limit Essex to 177, having looked like getting 200+ Erin Vukusic the pick of the bowlers with 4-0-31-3 However, we really need to improve our fielding. It's been a little shoddy in the last couple of games

Someone had to drop out for Skelton to return but harsh on Ruby Davis imo Given Griffiths' bowling hasn't been that effective in this tournament and the fact she was retired out the other day for Davis, who did a better job, she's perhaps lucky to remain in the side

The Somerset of old is...back? For one day at least. An incredible win against a side that was previously unbeaten Turns out all Thomas Rew needed to find form in this comp was to open Brilliant innings from Sams at the end Lewis Goldsworthy and Josh Thomas, take a bow my sons

Super over?

Stats and facts ahead of Northants v Somerset at Northampton in the men's Blast today Somerset's T20 record v Northants: 21 matches 11 wins 7 losses 1 tie 2 no results Somerset's T20 record v Northants at Northampton: 11 matches 6 wins 3 losses 1 tie 1 no result 1/7

Three of Northants' key batters - Willey, Vasconcelos and Zaib - are left-handed, so I wonder if Vaughan might come in to provide an offspin option and extra batting. In that scenario I'd guess it would be Thomas, Roberts and Leach who'd miss out. 1/2

Gloucestershire v Surrey at Bristol today will be the 17th of the 18 crossover matches in this year's Men's Vitality Blast They met regularly in the 2010-11, 2014-19 and 2021-25 Blast formats, although in 2014-19 and 2021-25 they were designated to only meet once each season

An incredible hundred from Anika Learoyd But the fact that she only faced one ball across the 18th and 19th overs cost us With Griffiths on strike, a single was taken off the last ball of the 17th Griffiths then faced three dots, and we only got 4 runs off the 18th 1/6

A first bowl in professional cricket for Bex Odgers, sending down her offspin after Niamh Holland was removed from the attack. She's previously bowled for Cornwall in T20 and List A cricket, and according to CricketArchive her last bowl in anything was against Wiltshire in a T20 on 28 July 2024.

Well from 18/3, that all went rather off the rails. Some poor fielding and bowling, but obviously you have to give credit to Winfield-Hill and Kalis. Huge effort needed to chase this.
