Craig Overton Captains Somerset to Dominant Essex Rout

Craig Overton put on a match-winning all-round display. Somerset crushed Essex by 10 wickets in County Championship Division One at Chelmsford. Acting captain Overton belted his second career century, snared four wickets, and pouched a key catch.

Somerset knocked off 47 in just 5.4 overs. Archie Vaughan finished unbeaten on 41 off 25 balls. Essex crumbled to 245 in their second innings—after Overton's 141 had already laid waste to any hopes. Somerset pocket 21 points. Their first win of the campaign.

Those hard lengths at 145kph. Deadly stuff. Echoes of his T20 days.
