Somerset hammer Hampshire and Yorkshire coast to win over Derbyshire in T20 Blast, as Lancashire, Sussex and Middlesex also win.
Tom Abell and Sean Dickson shared a record Somerset fourth-wicket partnership of 144 from 68 balls as the defending champions thrashed Hampshire by 63 runs at Taunton.
In the North Group, Yorkshire Vikings openers Adam Lyth and Dawid Malan put together a partnership of 137 as their side cantered to a nine-wicket success against Derbyshire Falcons at Headingley. The fourth-wicket pair flayed Hampshire's bowling around Taunton and, although Liam Dawson eventually had Dickson caught in the deep, the skipper – assisted by Lewis Gregory's eight-ball cameo of 18 – took his side to a daunting 241-5.
