Defending champions Somerset are through to their sixth successive Vitality Blast Finals Day after Craig Overton played one of the all-time great innings - 78 not out off 29 balls - to grab a two-wicket victory from the jaws of defeat chasing 162 against Yorkshire at Headingley.
A career best innings, including eight fours and five sixes, recovered Somerset from 82 for eight in the 15th over and hammered 22 off the last over by Matthew Revis, winning with a ball to spare.
Overton added to his earlier two wickets to ensure Lewis Gregory’s side will target a third title in four years at Edgbaston on Saturday, after restricting Yorkshire to 161 for nine. Fellow seamer Jake Ball claimed three for 30.
