Wild scenes as Michael Vaughan's son stars, Somerset take seven wickets in crazy final hour

Somerset have taken seven wickets in the final hour of play to clinch a dramatic 111-run victory over Surrey in the English county championship.

England spinner Jack Leach, who saved his side from losing the 2019 home Ashes series, claimed figures of 5-37 in Surrey's second innings, and sealed the victory when he trapped Daniel Worrall lbw for a second ball duck.

The wicket – taken with only three minutes remaining on the clock – triggered wild celebrations at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton, in England's south-west.

Playing only his second first-class match, Archie Vaughan – son of former England captain Michael – also claimed a fourth-innings bag, claiming 5-38 including 15 maidens. Vaughan and Leach claimed all 20 Surrey wickets for the match between them.

But an hour before Leach took that final wicket, Surrey were 3-95 chasing 220 for victory, and the four-day game looked to be petering out to a draw.

Dom Sibley (56 from 183) and Ben Foakes (20 from 100) were set and looking comfortable at the crease, clearly in no mood to try and chase victory.

But what followed was a collapse of epic proportions. Surrey lost 7-14 in the next 18 overs.

Foakes was first to go, caught in the slips off Leach's bowling. Two overs later, Sibley followed in almost identical fashion.

Then in the next over, the 18-year-old Vaughan returned to the thick of the action when he had Bangladesh veteran Shakib Al Hasan caught again in the slips. Lewis Gregory had taken all three catches.

Two overs later, Vaughan bowled England quick Tom Curran, who tried to punch one through point off the back foot but missed. Vaughan took his fifth and final wicket two overs later when he trapped Cameron Steel in front.

If the Surrey batters hadn't already gone into their shell, it was at this point began taking zero chances.

It took Somerset more than 10 overs to earn the next breakthrough, when 'keeper James Rew held on to a sharp chance to send Jordan Clark packing for a 47-ball duck.

Down the other end, England fast bowler Kemar Roach had faced 30 balls himself without scoring a run.

Two balls later it was all over – Leach bowled a quicker straight delivery at Worrall, who played all around it.

Leach sprinted away into the sunset as his teammates chased after him.

"To get a win with only a couple of minutes left in the match was very special," Somerset captain Lewis Gregory said.

"Four-day wins are some of the most pleasing you have as a cricketer because you work so hard for them."

Vaughan finished with match figures of 11-140, and Leach 9-142.

"Archie has taken to first-class cricket like a duck to water," Gregory said.

"The fact that he is more of a batter than a bowler is the really exciting bit and we believe he is going to be very good to watch with the bat over a number of years.

"If you throw in the off-spin he has bowled in this game, there is a mighty special cricketer developing."

Earlier, Somerset batter Tom Banton scored 46 on virtually one leg in a 71-run stand for the final wicket of his side's second innings.

Banton rolled his ankle playing football before play on the third morning and required crutches to walk. He hobbled out to the middle to join in the celebrations after the victory.

His side nine-down with a lead of only 153 later that day, Banton scored a run-a-ball 28 before stumps. With Leach – who else – down the other end, he returned the next morning to add another 18 runs before he was bowled by Al Hasan.
