Somerset send Deccan Chargers packing

With just five needed to win off the last over Scott Styris broke the partnership off the very first ball, dismantling the woodwork of Hildreth. In came Max Waller and gently pushed his opening ball back to the bowler. Four off five.

Waller then went for a big one but only scooped it in the air and Styris took a dolly. But as the batsmen had crossed Thomas was on strike. Three off five with the last man in, but Styris, bowled a wide full toss and Thomas caressed it through the point region for a boundary. Two off one and Gilchrist had no option than to get all his men in to save the single. Thomas tried to heave the next ball over mid-on but didn't time it. One off one. Thomas made room for himself and hit over for four.

Earlier, VVS Laxman (46 off 35) played an uncharacteristic innings at the top of the order to set up a good platform that saw the Chargers' set a respectable target of 154.
