Derbyshire 317 for 9 (Dall 115, Lloyd 71, G Thomas 3-41, Davey 3-46) Somerset 316 for 5 (Reeve 88, Dixon 86, Hope 58, J Thomas 54*, Chappell 3-54) by one wicket

Moore had earlier scored just ten runs in three List A innings, but the youngster eclipsed that with five fours and a six in a match-winning 20-ball cameo.

After Chappell and Sam Connors removed George Thomas and Lewis Goldsworthy respectively in the opening four overs of the game, Reeve and Umeed capitalized on some early luck to set up their second three-figure stand in the Metrobank Cup this season. Both scored half-centuries. In the 24th over, Umeed scored runs on 62 balls and Rio scored on 66 balls.

Umid fell for 141, caught at short cover by leg-spinner Mitch Wagstaff. Reeve then added another 40 runs, bagging a pull shot over Chappell to fine leg, knowing that the foundations for a late attack had been laid.

It came from Dixon and Josh Thomas as Somerset made 89 in the last seven overs, Dixon hitting a 51-ball half-century before clearing the ropes twice from Connors and once from Harry Moore, his ninth over for 22. Gone.

Dixon fell victim to Chappell, but Thomas continued the rampage, reaching his fifty off 41 balls with a six over long-off, a free hit by Connors, off the last ball of the innings.

Rees ensured a quick start to the visitors’ reply, hitting 6 fours in the first two overs sent by Charlie Castle. Harry Kemm helped take the score to 60 before being lbw by George Thomas on the last ball of the ten-over powerplay.

Thomas took the second wicket when he was caught behind by Brock Guest for 15 runs. Lloyd then called for a quick single after Thomas played the ball over cover and failed to beat Umid’s quick throw to wicketkeeper Reeve at Race, 44.

Matt Lamb was bowled by Jack Leech, who was trying to force space through the offside, and Derbyshire were suddenly 89 for 4. It became 90 for 5 when Samit Patel offered a return catch to Thomas, who threw out his left-hander to catch. Fast opportunity.

Lloyd and Dill gave Derbyshire hope with a sixth-wicket stand of 145, both bringing up half-centuries in the 33rd over, Dill making the first in 36 balls and Lloyd making 53 off Leach’s next ball. Their century partnership ended in the next over. 82 Delivery.

Despite England’s two spinners at Leach and Shoaib Bashir bowling in tandem for the first time, Somerset failed to stem the flow of runs. Fast bowler Josh Davey returned to break the partnership when Lloyd reverse-swept a catch at short third man. Chappell was caught at cover in the same over and scored 235 runs for 7 wickets.

Wagstaff was run out by a brilliant direct hit at the bowler’s end from Dixon before Dill completed a 69-ball century filled with explosive shots. He was bowled by Davey with 12 runs needed, but Moore held his nerve to secure a valuable win.
