The hosts posted 309-8 after losing the toss, as opener Lammonby scored exactly 100 from 111 balls, with nine fours and two sixes. James Rew contributed 81, while younger brother Thomas made a rapid 41.

In reply, Warwickshire reached 310-7 with three balls to spare, as Taunton-born Jake Lintott ensured victory with a quickfire 50 after important contributions from Kai Smith (45 not out), Rob Yates, Zen Malik and Hamza Shaikh.

Somerset centurion Tom Lammonby said: “It was disappointing not to get the win because I felt we batted really well against some good bowling.
