Cricket It's been an exceptional Blast campaign so far, says Kerr

SOMERSET continued their remarkable form in the Vitality Blast, cruising to a six-wicket win against Glamorgan on Friday evening.

After restricting Glamorgan to 130-9 courtesy of 4-21 from Australian overseas Riley Merideth, Somerset knocked off a sub-par total to remain top of the South Group and head into the mid-competition break with seven wins from eight, while Glamorgan's symmetrical win-loss record makes them likely to drop outside the all-important top four.

Top-order contributions throughout the Somerset innings set up the win comfortably in the run chase for the middle-order to wrap up risk-free. Dan Douthwaite caused troubles with 3-32 to give the hosts a glimmer of hope.

Jason Kerr, Somerset's head coach, said: "They got off to a very good start, to be fair, but once the bowlers found what was in the pitch for them and what they needed to do I thought we executed it brilliantly.

"I think it was probably a 170 pitch. There was a bit of movement with the new ball and as we saw if you slightly missed the ball went to the boundary.
