Will Smeed hit a brilliant 94 as Somerset completed a record Vitality Blast Finals Day chase to beat Hampshire by six wickets at Edgbaston on Saturday.

Chasing 195 for victory, Somerset's Smeed (94 off 58 balls) hit 14 boundaries to help his side get within touching distance before his captain Lewis Gregory (18no) hit a six over square leg to claim victory.

Gregory shared a match-winning 18-run partnership with Sean Dickson (33no) to get Somerset over the line with six balls to spare, posting 195-4.

Earlier, Hampshire's captain James Vince (52) and Toby Albert (85) put on a 97-run stand for the second wicket to help the Hawks to 194-6.

Somerset's Jake Ball was the pick of the bowlers, taking a sublime one-handed catch in his follow-through to dismiss Hampshire's James Fuller (1).
