The 31-year-old registered a high-octane innings of 100 from 49 balls, smashed 12 fours and four sixes and dominated a record-breaking opening stand of 158 with Tawanda Muyeye as the visitors posted a formidable 228-5 after losing the toss and being put in.

Muyeye weighed in with a 40-ball 70, helping himself to six fours and three sixes in the process, while Harry Finch finished unbeaten on 22 from 13 balls. It was a chastening experience for the Somerset bowlers, Riley Meredith having the best of it with a return of 3-44 from four overs.
