Vince blasts record-breaking century in Hampshire win

James Vince hammered the highest individual score by a Hampshire player in T20 cricket as the Hawks pulled off a 16-run Vitality Blast victory over Somerset at Taunton. Somerset v Hampshire scorecard

The visiting skipper smashed 129 not out off just 62 balls, with 10 sixes and nine fours, and was well supported by 19-year-old Tom Prest (62) as Hampshire recorded their biggest total in the competition, 208-5, after losing the toss.

After a brief stoppage for rain, Somerset replied with 194-9, Rilee Rossouw top-scoring with 55 off 28 balls and Tom Banton contributing 54 from 38 deliveries. Chris Wood claimed two for 26.

The result left Somerset still second in the South Group table, while Hampshire moved into the top five.

Vince's amazing assault bettered the unbeaten 124 made for Hampshire by Michael Lumb in a T20 game against Essex at Southampton back in 2009. It included three sixes in a row in a 31-run over and hitting the last ball of his innings for a maximum.

Derbyshire's five-match winning streak came to an end after Nottinghamshire bounced back from three consecutive defeats with a thumping 94-run victory over their neighbours.

The Outlaws posted 247-6 on their way to the win - their highest total in the format.

Ben Duckett hit a season's-best 63 and Alex Hales his third half-century of the campaign as the Outlaws, who conceded a competition-record 261 against Birmingham last week, enjoyed their best night of what has been a disappointing season.

On a good batting surface, the Falcons had fancied themselves in a chase when they opted to field first, but they were never in the hunt, reaching 153-9 as fast bowler Zak Chappell marked his first appearance of the season by taking three for 28.
