Somerset shine in T20 Blast opener but holders slip

Last season's beaten finalists Somerset beat Surrey as they made an impressive start to their T20 Blast campaign.

Jason Roy hit a blistering 92, but Surrey were restricted to 146-9 at Taunton before the hosts completed a five-wicket win.

Holders Gloucestershire started their defence with a narrow four-run defeat to Kent Spitfires, while the returning James Vince stroked 62 as Hampshire Hawks thrashed Essex by 106 runs in the other South Group fixture.

Jack Haynes' unbeaten 89 eclipsed Sam Hain's 92 as Notts Outlaws chased down Bears' 226-5 with five balls to spare at Trent Bridge.

Sol Budinger smashed a 15-ball 50 as Leicestershire Foxes defeated Derbyshire Falcons.

And David Willey smashed 54 and took three wickets as Northamptonshire Steelbacks held off Yorkshire Vikings' brave chase in a runfest at Headingley.
