Somerset spinner Arul Suppiah took world-record Twenty20 figures of six for five in his side's five-wicket Friends Life t20 victory over Glamorgan at Cardiff.
The home side, who were put into bat by Somerset, had no answer to Suppiah and the other two spinners, Murali Kartik and Max Waller, as they were dismissed for just 98 - their second worst total in the tournament - in just 17.4 overs of an 18-overs-per-side contest which was reduced because of rain.
Suppiah's record figures, which bettered Sohail Tanvir's six for 14 for Rajasthan against Chennai in Jaipur in May 2008, came from 3.4 overs as all 10 Glamorgan wickets fell to the Somerset spinners.
In reply Somerset got over the winning line with 21 balls to spare, Kieron Pollard finishing unbeaten on 31 from 20 balls.
Nottinghamshire became the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals by clinching a 10-run victory over Worcestershire at New Road.
With a crowd of little more than 1,000 in the ground on a gloomy evening, the hosts had looked on course to cause a surprise after dismissing the north group leaders for 152.
This was Nottinghamshire's lowest total in 10 attempts when batting first in T20 matches this summer, but it proved to be enough as the Royals stumbled after an eye-catching half-century in 35 balls by Moeen Ali.
