Somerset spinners Archie Vaughan and Jack Leach combine to bowl Surrey out and keep the Taunton side's title hopes alive.
Spinners Archie Vaughan and Jack Leach sparked a dramatic late Surrey collapse as Somerset boosted hopes of a first ever County Championship title with a thrilling 111-run win over the Division One leaders at Taunton.
Somerset had extended their second-innings score from an overnight 194-9 to 224 all out, thanks to injured Tom Banton’s 46 and Craig Overton’s unbeaten on 49 after an unlikely stand of 71 gave their side genuine hope of victory. The memorable 65-ball innings ended when Shakib Al Hasan found a way through Banton’s defence and bowled him, leaving Overton one short of a deserved half-century.
Ben Geddes’ luck ran out in Leach’s next over when he was pinned him in front and at 46-3, Surrey were in a deepening hole. A swept single off Vaughan took Sibley to a 165-ball half-century that perfectly suited the situation. But then Foakes edged Leach to Lewis Gregory at first slip and when Sibley’s defiance ended in similar fashion in the left-armer’s next over, panic set in for the visitors.
