Michael Vaughan's son takes limelight in Somerset's famous win

Somerset’s 111-run victory was engineered by teenage sensation Archie Vaughan, son of former England captain Michael Vaughan. Surrey batters were strangled by Archie’s off-spin as he took 6 for 102 in the first innings and 5 for 38 in the second innings.

Earlier after opting to bat first, Somerset scored 317 on the back of Tom Banton’s century. Shakib Al Hasan and Worrall shone for Surrey with four and three wickets, respectively. A collective batting effort from Surrey’s top and middle order helped them score 321 in reply. Apart from Archie, Leach also performed well with a four-wicket haul. 

In the second innings, Somerset was restricted to 224, thanks to Shakib Al Hasan’s fifer. Chasing a target of 221, opener Dom Sibley gave a solid start for Surrey by notching up a half-century. However, he did not get enough support from the rest as Leach and Archie again wreaked havoc with five wickets each.
