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

After restricting the Welsh side to 130-9, courtesy of 4-21 from Australian overseas Riley Meredith, 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.

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.

Speaking after the game, Somerset head coach Jason Kerr 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.

"The games we've been up against it [has been most pleasing]. Every individual that's played has contributed so far, collectively as a team we've played really well and we're winning key moments so for the first stage we've been exceptional."

Somerset had returned to winning ways the previous day as Lewis Gregory clubbed a brutal half century to defeat Hampshire Hawks by 17 runs at the Cooper Associates Ground.
