Roelof van der Merwe declared his match-winning innings as one of the greatest T20 knocks of his career as Somerset recovered from a shock start to win a rain-affected Vitality Blast clash against arch-rivals Gloucestershire by three-wickets (DLS) at Bristol.
After the visitors had won the toss, Miles Hammond struck four sixes off the opening over of the game, bowled by Tom Lammonby, on his way to making 29 off just 12 balls.
By the time rain interrupted play after five overs, Gloucestershire had raced to 61 for one. A resumption at 8.45pm saw the game reduced to ten overs per side and the hosts went on to post 101 for five.
