The former Royals all-rounder scored a run-a-ball 109 not out, including 14 fours, in the Sabres' total of 236 for five.

It proved far too tough a target for grim Worcestershire whose bid to win the league were dashed when they were dismissed for 152 in 36.2 overs.

Somerset's second win in successive days lifted them to within a point of leaders Sussex who wrap up their campaign with a visit to New Road on Sunday, September 27 - the same day as the Sabres entertain Durham.

Opener Mark Cosgrove cracked an entertaining 73 from 65 balls which proved the difference as a relatively inexperienced Glamorgan side rounded off their Pro40 season with their first win, overcoming Lancashire.

Glamorgan could only manage 219 all out in 39.1 overs on a good Sophia Gardens pitch, but Lancashire's innings imploded as Chris Ashling, on one-day debut, took two wickets and claimed two run outs, while stand-in skipper Mark Wallace produced three stumpings.

From 129 for four in the 25th over Lancashire were bowled out for 192 in 37.4 overs, losing by 27 runs, with six of their batsmen either run out or stumped.
