Somersaultwho has won two of the last three T20 titles, looked down and out when they needed 80 runs off 27 balls to beat yorkshire.

The target of 162 set by the Tykes was the lowest in T20 matches at Headingley this season by 31 runs.

Only Adam Lyth (64), with a third half-century of the campaign, had troubled the Yorkshire scorers as the Somerset players shared the load: Jake Ball took 3-30 and two wickets each for Riley Meredith (2-27), Daniel Sams (2-29) and Craig Overton (2-36).

The hosts then stormed Somerset in their first match in this format, quickly reducing the champions to 28-4 in their sixth over.

Tom Banton, released by England to play, fell in love with just one, as did brothers Thomas and James Rew.

Will Smeed (21), Tom Kohler-Cadmore (2), captain Lewis Gregory (19) and Daniel Sams (0) soon followed to leave Somerset 59-7 and required 103 to win in eight overs.

Overton then staged an almost unthinkable comeback, hitting eight fours and five sixes en route to his first T20 Blast half-century, to inflict a painful defeat on Yorkshire, whose wait for a first title continues.
