Sean Dickson’s 63 from just 36 balls saw Glamorgan do the double over reigning champions Somerset with a last ball boundary.

Glamorgan, who thrashed last night’s opponents last Friday thanks to captain Kiran Carlson’s blistering 42-ball hundred, chased 202 in dramatic fashion, with overseas all-rounder Jimmy Neesham’s four off the very last ball of the game proving to be the winner.

The hosts posted 202 for 6 after losing the toss, skipper Lewis Gregory top-scoring with 54 off 28 balls, sharing a fifth-wicket stand of 90 with Tom Abell who put on 41.

Dan Douthwaite was the most successful Glamorgan bowler with 2 for 35 from four overs, while spinners Ben Kellaway and Mason Crane were excellent in their combined six overs, going at exactly one run per ball on an evening when over 400 runs were scores.

To add to the drama, the Welsh reply was interrupted on more than one occasion by floodlight failure, plunging Taunton into darkness and forcing the players off the pitch at key moments.

Dickson, who has already proven to be an astute signing – particularly when playing his former team – blasted 63 from 36 balls, including four sixes.

He was ably supported by Asa Tribe, who scored a quick 48 from 31 to help Glamorgan recover from 55-3 in the powerplay.

However, there were still over 30 runs to get when both set batters were removed, and Neesham was joined by Douthwaite at the death.

Glamorgan needed 16 off the last over, bowled by former England international Jake Ball.

Douthwaite hit the second ball for six, leaving nine needed from four balls. but after the lights went out again, he was caught at long-on giving Neesham the chance hit the winning boundary through the leg side.

The New Zealander was bowled a leg stump yorker and used his powerful bottom hand to shovel it in the gap between long-on and deep midwicket, sharking scenes of joy and desperation in equal measure.

“The lights made for an interesting night, but it was out of our control and thankfully we got over the line,” Dickson told BBC Sport Wales.

“There were a few naughty words (at the third lights failure), getting down to nine off four balls in a fixture like this and you’ve got momentum on your side, it was emotional but thankfully the lights came on, and we got the desired result.

“I enjoy batting here and it worked out for me tonight. It does help (having played a lot at Taunton), I spoke to the guys about how you get a lot of reward for shots square of the wicket, it’s not just about hitting sixes, so I tried to share my experience.

“Three wins from three against Somerset (including the County Championship), but all respect to them, they put out a performance and didn’t get over the line, I’m chuffed we did.”

“It was an interesting finish to say the least!” Glamorgan captain Kiran Carlson added.

“We did really well to keep ourselves in the game and Jimmy Neesham was brilliant when we needed him.

“I’ve never played in a game where the floodlights have played such a part. It wasn’t easy for either side, but the times they went out certainly weren’t ideal for us.”

The result puts Glamorgan back on track in the Central & West Group, with a trip to Worcestershire coming on Friday afternoon.
