Surrey beat Somerset in the CB40 final

Surrey beat Somerset by five wickets in the CB40 final at Lord's.

Surrey have beaten Somerset in the final of the Clydesdale Bank 40 Championship at Lord's.

Somerset won the toss and chose to bat but were immediately made to regret that decision as they slipped to 79 for 5 on a good wicket.

Jos Buttler's 86 off 72 balls ensured that they posted a competitive score of 214, but Jade Dernbach bowled him in the final over to finish with four wickets.

Surrey lost Steven Davies and Jason Roy early on in their innings to give Somerset hope, before rain intervened.

The rain delay meant Surrey's target was adjusted via the Duckworth-Lewis method to 186 off 30 overs.

Surrey captain Rory Hamilton-Brown continued where he left off, firing 78 off 62 balls before he was run out by Jos Buttler.

It left Zander De Bruyn and Matthew Spriegel to see Surrey home and they sealed a five-wicket win with 15 balls to spare.
