Northamptonshire vs Somerset, Semi Final 1, T20 Blast 2026 - HighlightsNHNTS vs SOM, Semi Final 1, T20 Blast 2026 - Highlights

Daniel Sams to Calvin Harrison, out Caught by Riley Meredith!! In the air, taken at deep cover. Full and angling in from round the wicket, Harrison looks to drive over cover, slices it to the man who is slightly square in the deep. Calvin Harrison c Riley Meredith b Daniel Sams 8(9) [4s-1]

Riley Meredith to Ben Sanderson, out Caught by Thomas Rew!! Another Northants batter shaping up too early for the scoop, allowing the bowler to react and change his strategy. Riley Meredith, digs this short and at the body following the batter. Sanderson takes evasive action more than trying to execute the shot in fear of getting hit by this pace on short ball. Outside edge results and it goes high up, keeper runs to the right and takes a simple catch. Third ump checks if it came off the bat and UltraEdge with slow-motion replays confirm it came almost off the splice of the bat. Ben Sanderson c Thomas Rew b Riley Meredith 1(2)

Riley Meredith to Calvin Harrison, FOUR, goes pace on and tries the yorker, is smashed to the fence past the diving mid-off fielder instead. Full and in the slot as he missed the yorker, Harrison times the short so well and beats the dive to the left in the infield

Jake Ball to Procter, out Caught by Kohler-Cadmore!! Jake Ball has got a wicket and I am sure you can guess what ball he bowled to get this wicket if you are following the game. Yes, you are right! It's the slower ball of course. Procter tries to clear the infield, toe-ends it high for mid-off to take a simple catch. Procter c Kohler-Cadmore b Jake Ball 0(1)

Jake Ball to Lewis McManus, out Caught by Kohler-Cadmore!! Smart bowling from Jake Ball. When a batter moves across early to scoop it over fine leg, he would ideally want pace on the ball. Jake Ball took pace off and anyway they aren't reading him well off the hand. McManus tries to scoop it for four but short fine leg dives to right instead and takes a good catch. Wicket number three for Ball. Lewis McManus c Kohler-Cadmore b Jake Ball 21(16) [4s-1]

Jake Ball to Lewis McManus, 2 runs, this is high, this is a tease, man attacks from deep backward square leg and didn't bother diving into the practice pitches and the ball just lands in front of him. Slower delivery chipped him as McManus is early into the flick and he escapes the catch

Riley Meredith to Louis Kimber, out Caught by Daniel Sams!! In the airrrr, taken and it looks clean. The fielder, Sams it is, claims the catch and his teammates celebrate. Sams takes the low diving grab and throws the ball high in the air in joy before roaring in his celebration. Wonderful effort. Full delivery on the pads, Kimber flicks, Sams understood that it wasn't carrying to him at deep mid-wicket so he ran in, timed the dive to perfection and took with a slide with absolutely nothing on the ground. Closed it nicely with both hands. Louis Kimber c Daniel Sams b Riley Meredith 9(10)

Lewis Gregory to Lewis McManus, FOUR, nice bit of timing on the flick and the man at deep mid-wicket wasn't able to cut if off with a dive on the fence

Lewis Gregory to Lewis McManus, 1 run, oh was that a dropped chance? For some reason Thomas Rew didn't make a full attempt. McManus moved across to scoop. Oh yes, UltraEdge confirms ball came off the face of the bat. The keeper didn't have to move much, just had to get his hands slightly high to the left and instead of going two handed he made a half-hearted attempt with his left hand and palmed it to fine leg

Jake Ball to Saif Zaib, out Caught by Kohler-Cadmore!! The Northants are having trouble picking Jake Ball's slower ball. He's toying with the batters bowling his variations. Saif Zaib was keen to break-free, wanted to smash this full ball over cover, but pace off meant he had to delay the shot and this forced a false shot. The thick outside edge carried overhead to short third man for a simple catch. Saif Zaib c Kohler-Cadmore b Jake Ball 26(28) [4s-1 6s-1]

Jack Leach to Saif Zaib, FOUR, great use of the feet again! Just like the last over, Saif steps out, gets to the pitch and lofts straight back over the ump's head for a another boundary. The fact that he held the pose for the cameras tells you the amount of balance he had in the shot and how well he enjoyed that hit

Jake Ball to Chris Lynn, out Bowled!!! That is a smart slower ball from Jake Ball, Chris Lynn got out done by the change of pace and after finishing the shot, Lynn punches his bat with his left glove in disappointment. Lynn had moved away from the stumps a tad bit early. Jake Ball had rolled his fingers across the ball. This meant Lynn had to delay the cut and adjust the downswing of the bat, in the process he missed the ball completely and the ball hit it top of off. Chris Lynn b Jake Ball 39(26) [4s-3 6s-3]

Jack Leach to Chris Lynn, SIX, now Lynn muscles this flighted delivery high and handsome over mid-wicket for a maximum. 16 off that over

Jack Leach to Saif Zaib, 1 run, put down! Saif Zaib swept this flat, hard and straight to deep backward square leg, man in the deep gets both hands to it and spills a regulation catch at this level. Leg-side slot ball, maybe deliberate from the bowler because he had a catcher in the place, but the fielder couldn't execute

Jack Leach to Saif Zaib, SIX, nicely lofted down the ground after using the feet. Flighted delivery from Jack Leach, Saif advances and hits it straight down the ground for four. Fifty stand up

Craig Overton to Chris Lynn, FOUR, swings it away, angling in from back of a length, Lynn was hanging back and just helps it on it's way past the fielder to backward square leg

Jack Leach to Chris Lynn, SIX, just over the out-stretched hands of the fielder in the deep, tossed up, Lynn gets and slog sweeps it to backward square leg, it went just over the leaping fielder

Jack Leach to Chris Lynn, FOUR, he's picked it nicely, flatter and shorter, Lynn hammers it straight over the bowler's head to long-off

Craig Overton to Chris Lynn, SIX, it's a biggie, slightly fuller and in the arc for Lynn, he picks it and smashes it across the line over deep square leg, that went a long way

Craig Overton to Chris Lynn, FOUR, he's got hold of it, short and outside off, Lynn swivels and pulls it behind square to backward square leg, rolled his wrists well on that occasion

Craig Overton to Willey, out Caught by Lewis Gregory!! The skipper departs, a collision at mid on, but Lewis manages to hold onto it in the end, back of a length and outside of, Willey goes for the pull, but the gets a leading edge towards mid on, two fielders converge, lack of communication, they collide, but Lewis managed to cling onto it. Willey c Lewis Gregory b Craig Overton 6(8) [4s-1]

Riley Meredith to Willey, FOUR, streaky, angling in from a length, Willey pushes hard at it tentatively, the ball squirts off the inside edge to fine leg, it raced away and the deep fielder had no chance of stopping it

Craig Overton to Nathan McSweeney, out Lbw!! Another late review and back-back wickets for Somerset, this one came back in sharply from a length, McSweeney was rooted to the back foot, plays down the wrong line and is rapped on the knee roll, initailly there were two sounds, but ball tracking confirms, it was hitting the top of middle. Nathan McSweeney lbw b Craig Overton 1(4)

Riley Meredith to Vasconcelos, out Lbw!! Excellent review from Somerset, angling in from a length from round the wicket, Vasconcelos moves across to the off side and attempts the paddle shot, misses it and is rapped high on the pads, the ball lobs towards short fine, no bat involved, but the ball tracking shows it was hitting the top of middle stump, early breakthrough for Somerset and Riley Meredith is over the moon. Vasconcelos lbw b Riley Meredith 15(10) [4s-3]

Riley Meredith to Vasconcelos, FOUR, that was been slashed away, short and width on offer, Vasconcelos gets on top of it and smashes it to deep backward point, it raced away on the fast outfield

Craig Overton to Vasconcelos, FOUR, terrific shot on the up, length delivery, Vasconcelos takes couple of steps down the track, leans onto it and forces it on the up to deep extra cover fence

Craig Overton to Vasconcelos, FOUR, not a good start, full and tailing into the pads from round the wicket, Vasconcelos just clips it round the corner past the fielder to fine leg
